Does science prove life begins at conception?

Yes. Science shows that a new human life begins at conception. From that moment, the embryo has its own DNA and grows by its own internal direction.

This truth supports what Scripture has always revealed-that human life begins in the womb (Psalm 139:13–16; Jeremiah 1:5).

Science cannot define morality, but it can confirm facts. Abortion destroys a living human being. Christians may use truth from both Scripture and science to defend life, always remembering that abortion is a sin problem, and not a problem of ignorance of science.
