Evolution is a Fact #31 - Ten Questions for Creationists

by cofty in

i thought this would be a good time to pose some questions based on the series so far.. if creationism is true these should be easy.

answers that don't involve copy-paste would be really interesting to read.. ... .

1. since some proteins can be assembled in more ways than there are atoms in the universe why do the sequences of amino acids and bases vary between species in exactly the way evolution predicts?

Because God done it... and... Satan put all them fossils to confuse us and weaken our faith!

joel rosenburg was on tv a few minutes ago talking about eisenhower's background.

he mentioned that his father left the religion after the end of the world did not happen in 1914 and that his mother continued.

then he mentioned that when he was sworn into office, he had his hands on a bible published by jehovah's witnesses.

However, since it was a Bible printed before 1915, it was NOT printed by the Watchtower. The Watchtower started printing the ASV in 1944:

*** dx30-85 Watch Tower Publications ***1944, American Standard Version: yb75 219; w60 599; jp 215, 256; w50 315; ta 275-283

*** yb75 p. 219 Part 3—United States of America ***Brother Knorr had another basic thought in mind. That was the preserving of Jehovah’s name in all languages. There was a translation of the Bible that used the divine name in the Hebrew Scriptures. It was the American Standard Version. The Society purchased the use of plates to print this Bible, and the greatly appreciated Watch Tower edition became available to delighted conventioners at the United Announcers’ Theocratic Assembly of 1944.

*** w60 10/1 p. 599 par. 3 New Bible Translation Completed, Released ***Later the Society paid for the privilege to use the plates of the American Standard Version Bible, which is a revision of the King James Version Bible of 1611. Copies of this American Revision the Watch Tower Society began producing in 1944, and has since printed 888,837 copies in two sizes.
*** w50 9/15 p. 315 par. 8 New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures ***An excellent Bible translation of the twentieth century is the American Standard Version. Besides being a great improvement over the King James Version it has the remarkable and commendable feature of rendering God’s name “Jehovah” at the 6,823 places where it occurs in the Hebrew Scriptures. After long negotiations and by a financial arrangement the Watch Tower Society was able in 1944 to purchase the use of the plates of the complete American Standard Version of the Bible for printing this version on its presses with a specially prepared Appendix of Bible-study helps. On August 10, 1944, at Buffalo, New York, the key city of 17 simultaneous assemblies of Jehovah’s witnesses linked together by private telephone lines, the Society’s president delighted his vast audience by releasing the Watch Tower edition of the American Standard Version.

Ttdtt, there is no such thing as "West Point Bible"... What they mean in that website is "the Bible that Eisenhower had at West Point", the military academy.

All sources point to the same thing: The Bible in the picture is the one that Eisenhower used. It was an American Standard Version, a version used by Witnesses before the New World Translation because it contained "Jehovah" in the Old Testament.

When you look at the following website, http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/pihtml/pibible.html, it says in the notes for the second inauguration of Eisenhower:

12. New York Times, Jan. 22, 1957, p. 16. (Return to text)

And the NYT, Jan 22, 1957, p.16 said:

"The President's Bible, given him by his mother on his graduation from the United States Military at West Point, N.Y.,"

So it IS the one shown in the picture.

It's hard to see the "American Standard Version", but it's there.
