Yes ! There are people up there ! Hard to believe , but I ' ve seen it myself . <| sep |> Well , it ' s really very simple . You have to start with a few basic assumptions . Everything in the family proclamation about gender , spirits , existing as intelligences before we came to earth , divine destinies , only God has authority to grant and take life except through legal capital punishment . The dogma I was taught is that life begins at conception and that ' s when your spiritintelligence enters your physical body . Situation A If a human under 8 yearsold dies , not at the hand of another human , say by horrific cancer , freak accident , or SIDS , they go to the CK and you don ' t have to worry about anyone else being at fault apparently including god . It ' s terribly sad the loss of the opportunity to live and exercise free agency during mortal life , but everyone is just super happy they get to be together forever in the CK , if they devote their life , time and money to TSCC . TSCC isn ' t pro horrific cancer , freak accident , or SIDS , there is just an upside when you aren ' t 8 yearsold yet . Situation B Now it ' s a perfectly healthy child under 8 murdered . They will still go to CK , it ' s really sad for everyone , and now we have someone else to blame and punish . The murderer took away the opportunity of life , something they had no right to do . TSCC isn ' t pro murdering , there is just an upside when you aren ' t 8 yearsold yet . But now we have to deal with the murderer . Everyone knows you can ' t just prance around taking the divine destiny of other spirit children in your your own hands . Only God gets to do that . Situation C If you bring in a mom andor dad and medical staff and lawmakers who made the demise abortion , murder of something zygote , fetus , spirit , human that is not a human over 8 , there are so many sinners to blame and punish ! There is still a free pass to the CK , but God is super angry at all those people who enabled this to happen . Remember , humans are not allowed to intervene in the destiny of other spirit children . This is super simple . Mormons are just black and white about their beliefs , and it all makes sense , right ? For any other situations , well , the answers just aren ' t pertinent to our salvation . God will sort it all out and you just don ' t need to concern yourself with the details . The details have nothing to do with you committing your life and money to them . Seriously , don ' t even continue reading below at possible Situation D . It won ' t cause you any good line of deep thought , logic or doubt about human conception and our spirits . Situation D The case of the vanishing twintwinsyndrome . Did God really fill 2 zygotes with 2 intelligences just so one could cannibalize the other ? Whoa . I told you not to keep reading ! See , now someone might go get all confused about conception with what happens and when , and the Mormon beliefs and science . What just happened ? Did God send 2 spirits and let them battle out survival in utero ? Whoa . I thought we all had some super divine destiny . I thought only God could grant or take away life , but we have evidence of sibling homicide . Shit . OK , well , just don ' t proceed to Situation E . Situation E Oy vey ! You better get ready to doubt your doubts . Twinning ! You may think this is a cute hashtag on social media , or you may simply think you just already understand identical twins 0509 whytwinsform . htm . So . one zygote is created , God sends down one little spirit intelligence and we ' re off to the races of a healthy , normal pregnancy . But wait ! That zygote splits . and what happened to the spirit ? Now half a spirit ? Or God has to get out his spirit blaster 2000 and fix his mistake ? This is just getting really confusing . Welp , best way to make sense of any of this is just a blanket disclaimer that humans um , just not that semiformed twin human zygote better not touch a bun in the oven . While there is the upside of the free CK pass in a case of murder or abortion of anyone under 8 , there is just too much complexity involved in general . We don ' t want people to start leaning on logic to answer any of these questions . Edit word
