I think you guys completely missed my point.
The only reason I brought up science is because back then they didn't know exactly how a baby was made (no, I can't prove it, but I'm sure we can agree on that). I'm sure they believed it to be the work of god, so naturally if you have people going around and being whores, some will be offended because you're "misusing god's reproductive tool".

I've argued that in fact the ancients had a pretty good idea where baby's came from. How is that missing your point?
