Before conception, since the cells that are involved in conception are themselves organic. They sure as hell ain't sacred though.

Why not before the conception of the parents? Or their parents? Or their ... Back to the first cell. Or before. But I don't think that's what the OP was asking. ![]() Maybe the OP would like to clarify what he is asking. Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.

I never said an individual's life begins before conception, just that life is around before you are, including life that will eventually constitute you, the most immediately predating life being the sperm and egg you develop from. ![]() |

Two, actually. Life began once. Everything alive today came from living things which came from living things which ... which came from the first living thing about 3.5 billion years ago. Or, if you mean when does a new human being come into existence, then that would not be until a fetus has a brain and nervous system. Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
