Not to mention, by that definition I hope they aren't eating plants or animals. They're 'life' too.

Idiots.

How profoundly ignorant about life, the universe, and...well...everything does someone have to be to think that's impressive?

We don't need more humans, so readily expendable - whereas if we were low on population they would be crucial to survival (I believe battlestar galactica covered this) and worth more to the human race.

A new life form is like gold, old ones we have plenty of are like sand.

I'll be dead and gone, but this planet will face it. Religion will take the human race right over the cliff.

It will be undeniable and they will cling to their beliefs while untold suffering surrounds them.

They will be clean and the rest just unclean heathens.

to a blood cell, etc but if it just a SINGLE living cell, it's NOT A FERTILISED EGG, stupid. If it's an egg at all, it's UNFERTILISED or a spermatozoa. This is why you should pay attention in science class. Hell, TAKE A BIOLOGY CLASS AND STAY AWAKE.
