While the secularists, antireligious, transhumanists and sexual revolutionists keep implying that we pro-life, conservative, traditional, Republican Christian types hate science, the body and women, the fact is that we’re the ones who respect the body, especially the female body, and the God Who designed it, and the fact is that science is with us.
This video, found at Catholibertarian, is a scientist’s view of prenatal development: the wonder of the baby’s body and the wonder of a mother’s body.
Many debates have gone on about how accurate prenatal developmental models are. It’s important to remember two things: Some measures of the age of the unborn count from conception, others from the mother’s last normal menstrual period; also every individual develops uniquely. Just as some children look older at five than some others do at six, so some look older at eight weeks gestational than others do at nine weeks gestational.
The scientist who speaks in this video designed imaging programs for NASA. He’s seen stars and planets, lots of them. What he finds most astonishing to look at is a baby. So do we. They’re so beautiful. Human beings are some of God’s most amazing artwork.
Thank you for all of the reposts and links @theraineyview. God Bless.
Thanks for having the good videos. God bless you too.
It makes me angry when people use science to disparage religion, especially since science is so beautiful. It teaches us so many interesting things about the world and ourselves. This video is a good example of really good science put to use. Another good example is the work of John B. Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka who just won the Nobel Prize in science. Their work should make embryonic stem-cell research obsolete. Yet, I fear their work will be disregarded by more enlightened minds who want to expand humanity’s amoral undertakings just to show that they can do so and there is no one to stop them from doing it. They need to take heed of religion and be more respectful of human dignity and stop playing God.
Well put. There are so many people now who have forgotten that it’s not OK to play God.
It bothers me that in the past twelve years the public vocabulary has lost the distinction between science and technology. Science is knowledge. There is nothing wrong with knowledge. But technology is behavior. Behavior is always subject to moral evaluation. By forgetting the difference, the media have left us with a false dilemma: Embrace all technological behavior, no matter what it is, or be against knowledge. That is how all the horror movies start. We now live in a horror movie. And in a horror movie, the good guys win if they keep their absolute principles in mind. While the mad scientists argue for techno-utopianism, the good guys say, you can’t play God.
