  100-million man hours

  the james webb telescope is set to launch in october of 2018 and will allow us to study the formation of first generation stars, the molecular clouds that became the first galaxies, and directly image exoplanets.

  roughly one hundred times more powerful than the hubble space telescope the jwst is going to push back the current boundaries of science.. this is what 100-million man hours can accomplish.. .

  The most complex telescope ever built that will allow us to see things never before witnessed and explore parts of our universe previously hidden from view. It will even be able to look at the atmospheres of distant exoplanets and detect the chemical traces of life - if it's to be found. This is what time well spent looks like.
  

  Conversely, the JWs spent over eighty times that many hours preaching. And what do they have to show for their efforts? Stagnant growth? No widows or orphans that they've taken care of? Even more broken families? Not even one single charity event they can point to?

  Which bears better fruit - the assertions of religious dogma - or the disciplined efforts of scientific inquiry?

  it seems britain has voted to leave the eu in a move of total madness!

  the markets are already in free fall and the moronic bigots who campaigned for this are celebrating the demise of our country .. i can't see how a 49-51% split can be democratic?

  there is still the postal vote to come in, maybe there's hope in that?

  Wow, the UK has lost it's damned mind. And now because of this it will probably lose Scotland too. This is really going to hurt their economy for at least the next decade and seriously weaken their political influence.

  After Greece paid such a high price to stay in the EU I'm genuinely shocked the UK would just throw it all away. What's the up side?

  Born Twice - Die Once .... Born Once - Die Twice

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jesus taught that we must die unto ourselves, and allow the holy spirit to take up residence within us.

  some people get saved by simply inviting jesus into their hearts, to be the lord of their life.

  this serves as a countering force within the born-again christian to counterbalance the will of the flesh, which is still unsaved in this life and destined for destruction in imitation of our lord himself.. attempting to live the christian life without having this spirit within you is a waste of time at the minimum, and dangerous on the downside.

  it's like you pick up a stone and there are hundreds underneath - in the end it is a question of what you want - one stone or hundreds. I prefer hundreds, even millions

  
  

  

  I'm so confused

  Do you still believe in the concept of absolute truth?

  by JW_Rogue in

  jws very much believe that there is an absolute truth and of course, they are the only ones who have it lol.

  how about now though do you still believe that absolute truths exist?

  or is everything subjective?

  I believe that individual claims are either true or they are not true. They are either an accurate representation of reality or they are not.

  And used in everyday speech "Absolute Truth" usually address' the confidence in a claim. Not the accuracy of a claim.

  Origins of ISIS

  by Coded Logic in

  so somebody asked me what the origins of isis were and after doing some research this is what i came up with.

  but as the identity of these groups really overlaps it's hard to know where one stops and another begins.

  can somebody fact check me please?.

  ISIS was an immediate offshoot of the Al-Nursa Front (aka al-Qaeda in Syria) and first came to power in 2011 in the Al-Raqqah Governorate - which is on the Northern border of Syria. ISIS didn't move into Iraq until January 3rd of 2014 when Al-Qaeda and ISIS clashed in the North East of Syria resulting in 1,069 deaths in just a couple of days. By February ISIS was rolling full steam into Iraq.

  
  Of course, all of this is bit nebulous because Al-Queda in Iraq already existed at the time - which was a part of of the umbrella organisation "Islamic State" that ISIS (Islamic State In Syria) identified with. But ISIS first came to power in northern Syria and THEN overthrew it's affiliate in Iraq.
  And Al-Queda's goes all the way back to Bin Laden who founded it in 1988 - who was in turn carrying the mantel of the Muslim Brotherhood from the 1950s, who were inspired by Wahhabism, etc. etc. etc.

  Does the idea that there is one "correct" way of looking at situations or aspects of the world deserve respect?
  -SBF

  No. There are multiple methods for making determinations about reality. When our methods are consistently effective and/or we have multiple different methods all converging on the same answer - then we can have high confidence in the accuracy of any single conclusion.

  But more broadly speaking, we have to actually start with the premise that we care about what's true and what's knowable. If a person doesn't care whether or not their beliefs correspond with reality than I certainly wouldn't "respect" their worldview.
