Biology Makes It Clear:There Is a Living Human Baby in the Womb!• Day 1: At conception/fertilization, a unique organism

comes into existence, with 23 pairs of chromosomes & approx. 50,000 genes from each parent, containing the complex genetic blueprint (DNA) for every detail of human development. The first cell soon divides into two and then again and then again, etc.• Day 16: Foundations of the brain, spinal cord & nervous

system are laid• Day 18: Heart begins to beat with the baby’s own blood

Biology Makes It Clear:There Is a Living Human Baby in the Womb!• Week 4: Lungs begin to form; arms & legs begin to appear,

along with mouth & nose• Week 5: Eyes, hands, kidneys begin to develop• Week 6: Brain waves detectable; skeleton is formed; 99%

of muscles are present; mouth and lips present; making first movements• Week 7: Eyelids, toes form; nose is distinct; baby kicks,

swims, frowns, turns head, opens mouth, hiccups• Week 8: Every organ and body system is in place; bones

begin to replace cartilage; liver, kidneys and heart are functioning

Biology Makes It Clear:There Is a Living Human Baby in the Womb!• Week 9: Eyelids open/close; genitalia appears; thyroid

gland turns on; baby can grasp objects placed in hand; sucks thumb• Week 10: Body is sensitive to touch; teeth begin to form;

fingerprints & fingernails begin to form• Week 11: All organ systems functioning; baby can

“breathe” and swallow; stomach muscles functioning; vocal chords form; making complex facial expressions• Week 12: The baby has all of the parts necessary to

experience pain, including the nerves and spinal cord• Week 13: Taste buds are developing; teeth are growing

The Bible Makes It Clear:There Is a Living Human Baby in the Womb!• God ENGINEERS Life in the Womb

− God knew, saw & formed David when he was still in the womb (Psa. 139:13-16)

− God knew & consecrated Jeremiah when he was still in the womb (Jer. 1:5)

− God called and named Isaiah when he was still in the womb (Isa. 49:1)

− God fashioned & gave life to Job when he was still in the womb (Job 10:8-12)

The Bible Makes It Clear:There Is a Living Human Baby in the Womb!• God EQUATES Life Out of the Womb & Life in the Womb

− In the Old Testament:• “The children struggled together within” Rebekah (Gen.

25:22-24).• “Indeed Milcah also has borne children to your brother

Nahor” (Gen. 22:20).− In the New Testament:

• “When Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb” (Luke 1:41, 44).

• “They came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger” (Luke 2:12, 16).

• “They were bringing even their babies to Him so that He would touch them” (Luke 18:15).

The Bible Makes It Clear:There Is a Living Human Baby in the Womb!• God ESTABLISHES There Is Life in the Womb

− Life is identified in the womb:• By growth, separate from mother (Ecc. 11:5)• By movement, separate from mother (Gen. 25:21-22;

38:27-30; Luke 1:36-44)• By blood, separate from mother (Lev. 17:11-14)• As a “child” (Matt. 1:18; Luke 2:5)• As a “life” (Ex. 21:23)• From conception (Luke 1:36; Matt. 1:20)

Conclusion• Both Biology and the Bible clearly prove there is life in

the womb from conception• Abortion (at any stage) is, therefore, the premeditated

terminating/destroying/murdering of human life • Four things to remember about God:

− God hates the shedding of innocent blood (Prov. 6:16-19)− God will punish eternally those guilty of murder (Rev. 21:8)− God is eager and willing to forgive (Psa. 86:5; 1 John 1:9)− God expects His people to stand up for righteousness (Prov.

14:34; Eph. 6:10-14)
