first off i do believe there are some evidences of evolution or i should probably say adaptation.
i do believe this exists in various forms.. however the deal breaker for me with evolution is the chick or egg problem.
there are tons of theories that get passed around as proof of evolution however these are usually examples much further down the evolutionary chain.. what i mean is let's start at the beginning!
cofty Why do you hate science?
I love science.
I love formal science such as logic and mathematics.
I love social science. The humanities. The study of human behaviour, both in the individual and society absolutely fascinate me. The study of human psychology, which is somewhat what we do on this forum. Comments and responses. Response to stimuli etc. You give me stimuli, I give you a response. visa versa.
I love political science.
Applied sciences , engineering and medicine. etc.etc.etc.

cofty '..The fact that every living thing evolved from a common ancestor over millions of years is beyond all reasonable doubt.'.
Blue jays, fir trees, elephants, fleas, dolphins, cactus, pineapples, blueberries, crocodiles, raccoons, mosquitoes, tigers, snakes, apples, spinach, my Uncle Charlie, cockroaches [well okay Uncle Charlie and cockroaches I can see] all have a [one] common ancestor.
Right!

One of the most compelling hypothesis is that it happened in Alkaline vents under the ocean but there are other contenders.
Oh, okay, I get it. Probably, until we get 'new light'.

For someone who tries passing off ideas with what you consider 'exact and detailed explanations, 'probably' doesn't seem to fit in.

i went to the circuit assembly with my wife yesterday.
i have to keep peace in the family.
there were less than 1,000 people for both the morning and the afternoon sessions.
Simon Templar , '...The 900 or so other people just sat there and listened. He asked her two questions which she answered aloud,..'
I would have given a dollar to hear her answer no to each question.
it's been a long time since i attended, but i understand that many of you still go to the kingdom hall for your various reasons.. a huge thing that helped me in my mentally breaking from their beliefs was to stop using their terms that put you, virtually automatically, into their thought mode.. using terms like "the truth," jw's feel special about themselves and this helps them separate themselves from "the world.
" by incorporating loaded language, jw's learn not to think, but merely to memorize words and phrases instead of analyzing a situation.. the reasons someone misses meetings is because they are "spiritually weak.
" they might be involved in "worldly thinking.".
baker '...I started prayin to just Lord and my wife could not wait to wail against me when over, like where,s Jehovah? I said he heard it if he is a god....'
" ... thank you, Brother Elders, for meeting with me. I realize that you all want to get home after such a wonderful meeting. I'll just take a few minutes of your time. I am experiencing a serious situation in my family. My wife has started to criticize the wording I use in my home prayers. Particularly she does not like it when I refer to Jehovah as Lord. Imagine how shocked I was when she first complained. Just imagine, complaining about the prayers of the head of the house. Imagine her not wanting me to call Jehovah Lord. I am afraid the Lord, Jehovah, will take his spirit away from my household, if he hasn't done it already. She seems to be getting increasingly critical and being as the Lord has given you the responsibility to protect the congregation from such thinking and to readjust the thinking of those leaving the path, I have to ask that you talk to her to correct her thinking. May the Lord be with you..."
i booked a double appointment so that she wouldn't be rushed.
i explained that i'd been brought up in the jw's and woken up to what a load of shite it was.
i explained that they have changed the blood card and that the elders in the cong are being told to effectively force people into signing it.
purrpurr "...She didn't say why she had reached this conclusion..."
Well now. Doesn't that tell us a lot.

DATA-DOG "...Anyway, we know that the WTBTS isn't racist because they have one black GB member..."
And a rousing and inspirational speaker he is.

" Thanks. I take care of my own medical issues. Have a great day."
What's so hard about that?
