You can trace your life back to a singular moment in time. One second further back and you simply don't exist. From that moment forward your life has continued in an unbroken line. You have grown and changed in innumerable ways, and you will continue to change until you die. But you have been a human since that first moment and you will die human.[

You keep saying that but exactly when is that supposed moment? And can you honestly say that most people recall that as the moment they realized they were human?

Can you remember the moment that you were born? Having a memory of a moment is irrelavent to the reality of that moment. In fact, memory has nothing to do with reality. This may come as a surprise to you, but you are not the center of the universe. You personally don't have to remember a thing, or even know a thing for it to be real none the less.
Rider you are such a dishonest toad. You claimed that it can be traced and yet if life is traced there is not clear moment as to when it began. During the entire process for countless generations back to the primordial ooze everything was alive. There was no stage in which something dead became alive. But for some reason you want to then say that life begins at the moment of conception. So I give you the benefit of the doubt and add to your term "life" the term "human" and consider your claims against "human life". But then again, human life also goes back countless generations. Okay so then I will change it to "my human life". Since "my" is now in the mix we are talking about my personhood since it is well accepted that even if my body is alive if my personhood ceases to be then I am dead. But as I have said, no one can personally trace their personhood back to conception. A single cell can't be a person. A single cell cannot conceive of itself even if it is a human cell. There are not enough cells there to do that. It will take billions and billions more connected in the correct way and mostly all operational in order to get to that point.

If you are unable to trace your life back to a singlular moment, then I suggest that you brush up on your very basic biology.
What biology is that? Christian dentist biology? You are unable to trace your life back to a singular moment either. You cannot show me a point in time where your life started from a point that was not alive.

Your entire argument is based on deliberately sloppy language and reason. You conflate so many things. It would be one thing if this had not been pointed out to you so many times before. You could then at least claim an honest ignorance. But you continue on with this same dishonest argument. As I have said before, you are clearly in the dishonest sack of shit category.
