A lot of information processing takes place at conception.

@KellyJay saidKnowing the importance of getting the proper cells, and having them divide properly I wondered how many cellar events occurred where a cell was created. So I asked AI, this is a lot of information processing, below.

The total number of cells in the human body remains relatively constant throughout life, as new cells are continuously produced to replace old or damaged ones. However, the exact count can vary among individuals. Here’s a simplified calculation:
Cell turnover rate: Cells in different tissues have varying lifespans. For example:
Red blood cells: Live for about 120 days.
Skin cells: Renew every 2-4 weeks.
Intestinal lining cells: Renew every 3-5 days.
Estimated total cell divisions: On average, cells divide a certain number of times before reaching the end of their lifespan. This is influenced by factors like tissue type and individual health.
Approximate lifetime cell divisions:
Let’s assume an average of 50 cell divisions per cell (a conservative estimate).
Multiply this by the estimated number of cells in the body (37.2 trillion).
Total cell divisions=50×37.2trillion=1.86×1015 divisions
Total cell count over 70 years:
Multiply the total cell divisions by the average number of cells per division (2 cells, as one cell divides into two during mitosis).
Total cells=2×1.86×1015=3.72×1015 cells
Therefore, over a lifetime of 70 years, the estimated total number of cells in the human body would be approximately 3.72 quadrillion cells. Keep in mind that this is a simplified calculation, and individual variations exist. 😊

@sonhouse saidDid you see me say Christian or human? The only thing I was pointing out was the amount of information processing taking place. Why don’t you just stick to the things said instead of your motivation mind reading.
@KellyJay
Is this your argument saying an egg and sperm get together and right there they are humans?
There is the Christian nationalist argument now saying that exact same thing.
Do you agree?

@sonhouse saidDo you look at the number of individual chemical reactions that are involved and still maintain mindlessness and a unguided process can account for life seeing all of the information processing being done from the beginning to the end of any life?
@KellyJay
Then why are you bringing up the obvious? DNA has been known for many decades, so what else is new?

Seems every post has your religious agenda. You can't prove GODDIDIT and neither can we prove the opposite,
All we do as scientists is to work with what we have and learn about systems of chemistry and technology without worrying about absolute origins.

@sonhouse saidYou accuse me of that all of the time, it seems like every time I turn around you see religious God did it in everyone's agenda.

@sonhouse saidThe only things I say we don't know how they started, or why, are things we don't know how they started and why, so you think that is wrong to do? Never once did I imply everything we study is for naught, that is just one more thing not said by me that you insert into my side of the conversation that was not there except between your ears.
@KellyJay
Well what do you call it when you continually put down the accomplishments of science and then say 'they don't know how it started' implying all the work they did is for naught.

@sonhouse saidMany times when I pick a subject that can go into both science carries spiritual implications I will put it in both, in the hopes one is dealt with including the spiritual side and the other purely science, but you are forever looking for an excuse to turn any topic into a spiritual discussion if any connection can be made. If you didn't do that it wouldn't come up at least by me anyway. Why can't you just deal with the words and numbers used and not add to them to turn every conversation into something else? If you want to speak to the spiritual side go to the other forum it is there too and everyone here who didn't want to go there wouldn't have to.
