POLL: Meme of the Week – October 24th

9. Ignorance is damn persistent.

I was having an argument on FaceBook about "what the Bible says about abortion".... I said "Who cares? They didn't know anything about fetal development back then." to which several people replied along the lines that knowing it took a man's semen in a woman was the same as what we know today!!!!!!

I pointed out that Ancient Greeks thought the man implanted the baby into the woman, who was just a receptacle and incubator and nurse. The Ancient Romans were a little better. They thought both men and women produced sperm that mixed in the womb. If both parents had "strong" sperm, you got a boy. If both had "weak" sperm, you got a girl. If it was mixed, the "stronger" parent prevailed.

These FaceBook Bible apologists think this is the same thing as knowing about zygotes and blastocysts!!!!!!
