  Evolution is a Fact #1 - Protein Functional Redundancy

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i intend for this to be one of a series of bite-sized ops on the evidence for evolution.. introduction to dna genes are sequences of dna made up of words (codons) each of which are three letters (bases) long.

  there are only four letters in the genetic alphabet (acg&t) each word or codon is the recipe for one amino acid.

  there are 20 different amino acids in living organisms.

  For those who wanted sources:
  
  What Cofty said:
  
  "The number of possible amino acid sequences that would result in a functional Cytochrome C protein molecule has been calculated to be a billion times larger than all the atoms in the known universe."
  
  The source:
  
  Yockey, H. P. (1992) Information Theory and Molecular Biology. New York, Cambridge University Press.
  
  Given the information that Cofty has (which is very good, thank you for the amazing amount of research opportunities that this has given me), I think he got the info for the post from here:
  
  http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/section4.html

  
  

  This page goes into very great detail as to why this is an incredible confirmation of one important part of the modern evolutionary theory: common descent.
  
  If there are 10^93 different aminoacid combinations that yield a functional cytochrome C, why then, can you make a relationship between the different species, just based on the tiny differences in this molecule?
  
  The evidence clearly points to common descent.

  Just from leukemia it can be estimated that 1000 witnesses die every year... But you still have to include severe accidents eith major blood loss, and giving birth... Situations where blood is still necessary.

  Rutherford and William Jennings Bryan

  by VM44 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  does anyone know where it mentioned that rutherford was involved in william jennings bryan's presidential campaign(s)?

  also, i recall reading that rutherford said bryan was god's choice as president for the usa!

  if that was so, then it is very strange that bryan was never elected president!.

  So, are there any authentic original sources that prove that Rutherford campaigned for this man?

  Did you KNOW Ray and Cynthia or the legal copyright holder? Only a few maybe had limited contact.

  i have known all of them over the last 15 years, talked at length with them, and knew what their wishes were, the copyright holder and spouse spent even more time with them socially and helping them set up their arrangements for when ray and cynthia passed.

  i don't believe that anyone else on this board or others was a confidant.

  there is no need to prove it to anyone but the copyright office which is satisfied with this.

  That's even better! I will pay for the shipping and stuff. DHL is the only reliable way to send stuff down here.

  Las Malvinas, please contact me. I will wait for your PM. I would love to have both the English and Spanish copies. I do a lot of activism in Spanish and would love to have a copy. I take it you live in Argentina? Can you ship to Mexico?

  Hi Blondie,

  I agree with whatever the decision of the official copyright holder is. Meanwhile, do you know if there are going to be some legal copies anytime soon? It's been way more than "a couple of weeks" after the cease and desist, I would LOVE to tell people... Hey! Here's the place where you can LEGALLY BUY these books!
  
  I am really hurting with the Spanish community, I have searched EVERYWHERE and there is NOT A SINGLE LEGAL COPY that I could find...

  Please, make it quicker!
  
  In the meantime, I will use other legal ways to spread information about the cult.

  Huge discrepancy between English and German wikipedia articles about JWs

  by Zana in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the english version seems fairly balanced.

  to me it almost has an apostate feel, citing coc or describing doctrine changes and interesting details about wt history.

  but the german version?

  The same thing happens with other languages, such as Spanish. That is why it is important for exJW's who speak another language to help in translating or editing pages.
