Abstract

One of the fields where knowledge has greatly advanced in recent years is that concerning the origin of human life. The scientist, without falling into concordism, experiences a wonder akin to that felt by the poet who composed Psalms 8 and 139 . Since both science and the Bible offer answers to man's questions about reality from their respective grounds and methods, a detailed analysis of Ps 139,13.15-16 could prove enlightening to anyone cognizant of modern scientific discoveries regarding life's origin. The psalmist describes two essential notes of the human person: a) the progressive conformation of the human being in the maternal womb; b) the identity of the individual who develops, first in the womb, then outside it. The study shows how, in the Psalm, these two characteristics are expressed lexically, grammatically and supra-grammatically.
