In a neverending attempt to rile up my sidekicks in the religion forum I thought I'd throw out a confusing situation just to see what people think about it. We all know that the first so called test tube baby was born back in the late seventies in England and became instantly famous. This was the first time that an egg had been fertilized outside of the human body. This does raise certain religious implications because it creates an artificial humanly devised method to allow a pregnancy to begin in the first place. We've had a number of discussions about the soul and how it's implanted into the body. Well, if there's a soul does it pop into the test tube at the appropriate moment or does it hang out for several days until the multiplying cells have been put back into the human body? Ok, yes I know I'm being my usual overly analytical self but it really is a legitimate question. What do you think?

My next thread is gonna be "What makes Montana think up with these questions?"............ When a person receives a soul? Genesis says when God breathed the breath of life into Adam that he became a living soul..So IMO a person receives their soul once born and maybe with the first breath.

Yeah, I know. It's just the way my mind works. If things don't fit neatly together in a logical way I always want to know why.  |

Ok. I can't resist. Montana, sorry for the digression on this one.
If a baby does not receive a soul until it is born, what does that say about the permissibility of abortion? |

I believe we receive our soul at moment of conception regardless of how it occurs.

Now, should that be spelled a-n-a-l-y-t-i-c-a-l or a-n-i-l-i-t-i-c-a-l? I'm been thinking about it for hours |

I agree! I think it's there at the moment of conception. Regardless...it would be the same in a test tube baby as a baby that was conceived in the womb. |
