"I think, therefore I am"; "Cogito ergo sum" by Renee Descartes
We often think of a viable human being in terms of the physical. Yet as recorded in (Genesis 2:7),
"And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
It wasn't the physical form that defined "life - a living soul" but the breath of life; the breathing of the spirit into the flesh. It is the merging of the spirit with the flesh that results in a "living soul". Thus, "I think therefore I am" NOT "I am therefore I think".
The origin of "conceive" is from the latin "concipere"; to take in. When does a fetus conceive or take in a thought; whether it be in the form of a dream or a singular concept? If a thought is not reliant on the physical but the spiritual, then the fetus is considered a "living soul" when God breathes in the "spirit of life" upon conception.
God bless.
