Reasons there is no God

  Ok, lets assume that God created everything as is, with no evolution involved. This is what JW's teach based on a singular vague verse in Genesis. Made according to their types

  THEN, the flood! Anything that is alive today would have to have been purposely saved by being in the Ark.

  Noah didn't collect the animals, remember they came to him by the divine Will. Animals came to him

  So all animals are alive today due to the choice of God, twice over.

  
  

  Satan didn't corrupt any animals, there is ZERO scriptural proof of this. Surely this would warrant a single mention somewhere if it happened?

  Satan didn't create any new animals, God alone is Creator.

  Yes, "Creation" alone demonstrates the lack of a loving creator.

  I tend to mention birth defects and disease among children, but creation attacking a puppy is also proof enough.

  It doesn't prove there is no god, but amply proves that if there was a god, he's a real ball-buster.

  If there is a grand creator, he certainly has a strange sense of humor, one could go as far as to say demented in that ....
  

  " Hey I'll create all different kinds of animals and watch them hunt and chase each other to eat ! "

  ....and I'll make one animal that stands on two legs and let it dream up various god(s) which they will kill one other in an assertive effort to show they have the right and most powerful god of them all. Yaaa.....

  Most people forget that this planet is dominated by the invisible, far more dangerous and numerous than what we see.

  Bacteria rely on making us sick, their host to survive, they out number everything. Viruses are not technically living but if you subscribe to a god, you have to explain his thinking in designing a machine that gets into a living things cell, corrupts the cells DNA and introduces its own, to the suffering of the host in order to self replicate.

  Just simplify it, Ochams Razor and all.

  Is there a god? In human history there has been no contact and no evidence from any deity.

  If there was a god he would have done something about our world or at least introduced himself and any plan he has.

  The fact there has been no contact and the world is chaotic proves there is no god in simple terms.

  Of course, I don't need to prove there is no god, the burden of proof lies with those who do believe.

  Lemonparty,

  You're quite mistaken about, there being no scriptural texts about the corruption of animals :

  "18 And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals." (Jasher 4:18)

  (Jasher is a legitimate scriptural text, which is quoted by the NWT canon)

  There are several other historical and or scriptural texts that discuss the corruption of animals, by the Nephilim. It is possible that the dinosaurs came about, through cross breeding, and this was the reason that they were destroyed permanently.

  2 Enoch 18:3-5 " These are the watchers, 200 leaders of whom fell away and went down to the land of Hermon. They took a vow on Mount Hermon, seeing how gorgeous human women were, and they took them as wives. The land was raped, the women acted like scoundrels, and the whole era was marked by criminal behavior and cross-breeding. Their children were giants and monsters."

  @LAWHFol

  The books you are quoting from are not considered inspired by the JW's. Where do they say that they believe in Jasher?

  All that proves is that a God, if He exists, enjoys watching evolution unfold naturally, for whatever reasons.

  Lemonparty the book of Jasher is quoted by The NWT 2 Samuel 1:18 " and said that the people of Judah should be taught the dirge called “The Bow,” which is written in the book of Ja′shar."

  Other Bible canons, include the book of Jasher, thus qualifying it as a scripture.
