What is the meaning of this? (was Disbelieving in belief - a variant - Postscript)

Brett Paatsch claims that the two extended statements

A. "I believe that life begins at conception. I believe
    that any other points we might choose are essentially
    arbitrary and uncertain. And I believe that this is
    a view founded not in religion, not in faith, but on
    the logic of the matter.

B. "My working hypothesis is that human existence begins
    at conception, and I contend that this is a view founded
    not in religion, not in faith, but on logic."

are not equivalent. I claim that they *are* equivalent.

Who is correct?

Thanks (whichever way you respond),

Lee
