You are using human as an adjective to describe only one type of life. You seem to want to make a distinction between human life and life. Why is human life a miracle, but life itself isn't?  Why does only human life matter, but life doesn't?  According to Christian theology only God can create life, correct?  Any life is a miracle, correct?  So what is it that makes a living haploid cell not meet your definition of life, but a living diploid cell does?  I don't understand you're understanding of science or theology. Those living gametes are alive and meet the definition of life because according to your theology God embued them with life. 

A human gamete is human life and part of the human life cycle. It has human DNA. It is living. So I'm going to ask you again, what is the difference between a living single celled human gamete and a living single celled human zygote besides the ploidy?  Since you want to claim people like to ignore science, explain the difference on a scientific basis why one cell meets your definition of life, but the other cell doesn't. 

I'm not going to get into this with you again, but I understand the metabolic view (yes I've been reading up more on it).

For what we are trying to establish is not when life begins scientifically, but to put a LEGAL starting point on when it begins. For this purpose, the genetic view (fertilization) makes the most sense.
