Because it can be human, hence, it has a soul. ...It has potential for life, therefore, soul.

False. You have nothing to backup your claim, no historical information, no factual evidence, and no other resource to back up your claim, and your argument about a potential to be human is illogical as well as impossible. It is impossible to prove that something with the POTENTIAL to be human has a soul. A 'potential' does not necessarily exist. It cannot be known if the 'potential' being will exist as a being. A soul can only be in an ACTUAL living body. When the body is NOT actually living, it does not have a soul. Something that has the POTENTIAL to be a human is ALSO an unfertalized egg, as well as a sperm. Those cannot actually have a soul, nor can a fertilized egg.

If potential does not exist, prove that a healthy embryo does not bring forth a human being. A soul is there, because otherwise God wouldnt bring it to our world.

You misunderstand what I wrote. I did not state that the potential to be human did not exist in the fertilized egg. I stated that "a 'potential' does not necessarily exist." You're conflating the possible and the actual. A soul is not in a thing that merely has the potential to be that thing. That would be impossible. A soul can ONLY be in a fetus who ACTUALLY exists. A fertilized egg is NOT alive and does NOT exist as a fetus

All fertilized eggs carry the potential to be life, and as such, have a soul. You may seem confused because I never stated it is in the same state as when you are a fetus. And yes, it is alive, if it carries a life. If it does not, then it isnt. Simple.

You're just repeating yourself, again. Re-read my responses. You're wrong, have no evidence, have no basis for the argument, and the assumption is obviously illogical.

Claiming things does not make them true.

Exactly - this is what you've done, without providing evidence, a logical explanation, or a history of approaches to this issue. I've provided the latter two.

I have two thousand years of history of the Church defending life from the time a woman discovers she is carrying a child. Good luck.

You don't 'have' that, as you've provided no evidence. Again, your argument is baseless, illogical and ahistorical. Let's look at the HOLY BIBLE:

Genesis 2:7, KJV: 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.

Also consider that the Holy Spirit is a 'Pneuma Hagion' (holy air)

By those standards, there is no life or soul in a person who is not breathing.
