LOL!!@MrFalcon..
I was watching an Educational Channel..
There is evidence of a huge flood of water that makes up the Black Sea..
That massive ancient flood happened in one area..
The scientists believe thats where the Noah story came from..

...OUTLAW
life-
You was Mesmerized..........
Doesn't the WT insist on this because they then make the claim that carbon dating is way off as a result....thus man's dating is off and man has not been around as long as science shows?
isaac- good to see you again.
Yes remember all the junk we learned about 'Radiation' screwing with science. Doh!
It is like I turned my brain off before talking to those liars.
lifeisgood, I'm feeling you, dogg! I know what you mean, you think of yourself a rational, thoughful person. Next thing you know, you are knocking on people's doors talking about water canopies. It's enough to make your head explode.
Sometimes I even feel as though perhaps I'm wrong for feeling this way about all these things and perhaps because so many JWs truly believe it, that maybe I'm the one who is being close-minded or stubborn. But then I take a look at the overall numbers of JWs versus a more traditional religion like Catholicism or Islam. JW numbers don't come close. So in reality, only a small amount of "Christians" believe and follow WTBS doctrine. So I don't feel like I'm sticking out anymore. If anything I'm leaning towards a more conventional belief system.
Outlaw - I think I saw that or a similar documentary. They were also saying that the story of Noah borrowed heavily from some ancient Chaldean story about Gilgamesh on his raft or something like that.
Dammit Wilson, are you gonna help me build this Ark or not????
I think Isaac is one to something. Officially going back on the stupid Water Canopy doctrine or even trying to downplay it as "adjusted" or "New Light" could prove DEVASTATING to their solution for the whole "how long has man been cranking one out on this planet" question. And then, where would it stop? Could there have been primitive man? Was Adam & Eve really the first humans? Is there possibly some fact behind evolution? There is no way that the WTBS is going to open that can of worms!
.... yet we bash customs such as Santa Claus because he's a "silly myth". Yet I know now Santa Claus is NOT true, because if he was how could he fly his sleigh through the water canopy?
Or even worse, the pressure exerted on his body from the sheer speed of his sleigh COMBINED with the atmospheric pressure from the water canopy would cause him to not only spontaneously combust, but also implode at the same time! I bet if that happened it would rain toasted marshmallows...forget a global flood, break out the graham crackers and Hershey bars!
HAHAHA Morbidz! What's sad is that what you're theorizing isn't that much wackier than what many JWs spew. I always love how people with practically no education think they can hold their own when debating scientific beliefs. Like what they read in that awful blue creation book is more convincing and accurate than all the scientific books on the freaking planet.
I know a handful of Creationists (non-JWs) who while defending creationism, have actually taken the time to study biology, geology, etc. So while I may not subscribe to all their ideas, I can at least respect them for having some degree of education.

You mean the one that talks about the aforementioned wooly mammoths? That's an awful book? Say it isn't so! Actually, I just trashed my copy yesterday, along with some others lol.
I know for a FACT that I cannot hold my own when debating science. I LOVE science...but I'm not of the mind to debate it. I like skimming over different facts and formulating conclusions as to what I believe. My friend's mom gave me a couple of videos from young-earth Creationists MONTHS ago, and I haven't watched them yet...the speaker has already been discredited by the scientific community and by experiments that completely turn his theories on their ear. I want to watch just to say I did, but I'm an Evolutionist and I'm not going to come out of the experience with a heavenly glow (perhaps a beard of white from the length and the sheer boredom...) and shout that Christ is Lord and I'm converted. I know that's what she wants, but from all I've researched on the bible and science, I just cannot reconcile any of it. None of it fits together... I'd have to do what the WTBS does and saw off the ends of some puzzle pieces and MAKE them fit. And that wouldn't be being honest with myself. Like you, I respect when someone does research to try to prove their point and actually LEARNS the subject they are debating. But I have no respect when someone pulls an answer out of their ass and holds it up to the masses and proclaims "THIS is the Truth!!"
