    This month the last segment is about evolution. One is with a sister with a university education in biochemistry who (presumably) teaches at a highschool or public school. She says that left handedness of amino acids indicates life was created because "if it was a random process half would be right handed and half left handed" (paraphrased). Not only does this miss that there are right-handed amino acids in some living things, but all one needs to consider a slight selective pressure towards amino acids with the same handedness and there is simply no argument.

    The other interview is with Davey Loos, a PhD in biochemistry. He is a real scientist but sells lasers today according to his linked in profile. He hints he was not allowed to question evolution during his education and then gives his scientific argument: "based on the theory of evolution we would expect to see an abundance of transitional forms to be present in the fossil record. But when we do look at the fossil evidence we just don't see it. We see that the major species come into existence at specific times and their form and structure is still exactly the same as their form and structure today." (not paraphrased). It is quite amazing to think he has a PhD and haven't bothered to google such an easily debunked lie. Then he gives the usual line about how biochemistry is just very complex.

    So yah, that's it. Cut to music video.

    I think this new effort on their part shows they are losing their religion to science and they know a lot are waking up (not so much to jw fuckery) to the bible and god being total BS. Starting to seem more desperate to present "scientific" opinion.

    The bad news is that what they are presenting is not google-safe...

    Some unsuspecting dub might be impressed by the PhD scientist who says that all fossils are exactly as in their present day form and decide to look for himself what a fossil bird looks like...

    Has anyone check to see if these quotes were taken out of context.

    Crazyguy: They are actual interviews with JW scientists, so they are properly not taken too much out of context.

    What the Guy said was that he was raised as a Christian with the Bible. Even a PhD in Biochemistry couldn't wipe his already polluted mind clean.

    DS: Apparently it was the events in Kosovo in the 90s which made him return and not science...

    no big surprise there.

    BTW here is his linkedin profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davey-loos-1340247

    She is years out of date. Kenso Soai et al demonstrated the naturalistic answer to this puzzle in 1995...


    we would expect to see an abundance of transitional forms to be present in the fossil record.

    We do. Tiktaalik is an outstanding example. Then there is a whole sequence of early tetrapods.. and a brilliant sequence leading to modern aquatic mammals to name just a few.

    They are either ignorant or lying for Jehovah.

    With all the evolution doubters out there are these people the best they can come up with. Wait, oh yeah this is WT.

    To qualify for that broadcast gig the "volunteer" must be educated in the sciences and a JW in good standing.

    That's quite the rare species of evolution buster. Lol. Do these people even know the meaning of a word like...oh I don't know let's say bias.

    Or maybe Monica Applewhite was busy that day. Lol - again.
