Does the Bible say that life begins at conception?

Asked by Strauss (23646points) July 14th, 2022

Since the Supreme Court Dobbs decision (24 June 2022) overturned Roe v. Wade there has been a lot of discussion on various platforms about the beginning of human life. Some believe life begins at conception, some believe life begins at first breath, and others say different. Many (not all) who are against abortion are also fundamentalist Christians, generally biblical literalists, meaning their beliefs are informed by the Bible. I am wondering if anyone can point me to chapter and verse which establishes when human life begins.

This is in the “general” section. I’d like to see honest, thoughtful discussion without reverting to name calling or character assassination. Thank you.
