Which bible? There is a Christian bible or bibles (catholic and protestant versions), there is a Jewish bible, there is a Koran (Muslim bible), etc. All of these are claimed to be true by their faithful, but how is one to make a choice? Objective tests only, please. Perhaps in the future contributors to the net can be specific as to which bible is meant, so that followers of another bible don't have to worry. On the subject of sperm and ova, contraception can of course be viewed as pre-emtive abortion. If the net had existed 30 years ago, the abortion debate would have been a contraception debate, with much the same arguments.
