As usual, you missed the point. You have been talking about species
recognition (an issue that is completely irrelevant to biblical inerrancy),
so I was merely pointing out that it is obviously not as easy to tell a
"human" from other species in the early stages of development as it is
after development is complete.
RON
Do you believe there is really no difference between these? Then
there MUST be a God who magically transforms these identical
embryos so that humans embryos are not accidentally born as
giraffes! Or maybe you think its the embryo fairy!
TILL
Here is another missed point. When did I say that embryos of different
species are identical? They aren't. My point was that recognition of
which is which in the early stages is not possible for the average person
to make, although an average person could easily tell a dog from a horse
or a human from an elephant.
Why don't you stick to issues that relate to biblical inerrancy? I
clearly nailed your hide to the wall on Jesus's prophecy that all "these
things" would be accomplished before "this generation" had passed
away, but you dropped it like a hot potato. Would you care to debate
the issue of the failure of obvious predictions in the NT of an imminent
second coming?
RON
In YOUR EYES you nailed my hide, but in mine I nailed yours. I guess
we'll just have to leave that up to individual judgement.
If you admit there actually IS a difference between these embryos in
spite of similar appearance then what is your point in pointing this
out? You don't have to answer if there really was no point.
