You accuse me of not knowing anything about biology and you ask this dumbass question? I was born a human, what is your excuse? Were you originally a toad and an angel zapped you with their magic finger and made you a human? Or were you not even as animated as a toad? Were you just a lump of clay?

First off, we aren't discussing science fiction...we are talking actual human beings...
Second, I asked the question for a reason and you answered exactly as I guessed that you would...you said that you were born human...what species do you suppose that you were before you were born?
It is like this starboy...you can trace the line of your life back to a singular moment in time...prior to that moment you did not exist...after that moment, the line of your life has stretched out, unbroken, to this very moment...
You been alive since the moment of your conception...we are either alive or we are dead...life is the quality that separates living organisms from dead organisms and inanimate matter...life is characterized by functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli or adaptation to the environment originating from within the organism. You have met this criteria and have been alive since the moment of your conception...
You also have been a human from the moment of your conception...You are not one whit more human today than you were 1 second after you were concieved...and if you live to be 150, you will not become more human by virtue of your age.. Our age in no way determines how human we are...it only determines how old of a human we are...
At your conception + 1 second, you looked and behaved exactly as a human being is supposed to look at that stage of your development...and at 2 weeks, you looked exactly as a human being is supposed to look at that stage of your development...and the day after you were born you looked as you were supposed to look and the day you got your drivers licence you looked as you were supposed to look...
Our bodies are undergoing constant change from the moment of our conception till the moment of our death...The change is is only change....the change in no way makes us more or less human...the change just makes us different....
At no point in your life were you like a red blood cell or a skin cell...you have been you...a living, growing, developing human being from the very beginning..Now if you are suggesting that you haven't been alive since your conception...since your life began, or that you haven't always been a human then I would ask for you to explain exactly what you were....If you indeed have always been a living human, then exactly the same is true for every other living human on this planet...born and unborn...
