Speaking of God . . .

... an interview with a reasonable theist (who knew such a thing existed?) in Discover magazine (it's not online yet, so don't bother looking for it) brings up a good point I hadn't thought about before.

Think about a set of identical twins (Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen excepted, of course.)

How many souls do they have?

Two, of course.

Yet at conception, and a few days thereafter, they were the same person.

Therefore, they didn't get their souls until sometime later.

Therefore, what we consider human life does not begin at conception.
