Transcript

At the moment of fertilization, all of the information that makes a human being is present. From that moment, there’s a combination of information that’s never been seen before … and will never be seen again. A unique human being has been created.

But, you know, scientists can’t agree on when life begins. Some say it begins at that moment; others say it’s later. Can we know?

Absolutely! We must look to God’s Word. It’s our ultimate authority in all things. You see, the Bible never treats unborn life different from life that’s passed through the birth canal.
