  Science in the bible......

  last week my wife and i were returning from a trip to the store and she starts talking about how amazing the bible is and how one should really not need to take any science classes, cause everything that one needs to know is in the bible.

  she sites the creation story on how it is all in the bible that there was first water, then earth, then vegetation.........i really did not even know how to reply.

  i asked her if she ever really critically read genesis for what it said, it is an interesting story, but there are many inconsistencies and even contradictions within the written word.....but of course she attributes that to the mistakes of man recording the information, since every word of the bible is of course inspired by jehovah.

  Who wrote Kings? Solomon or something??

  He must have gone to University of Awake!

  I looked at some apologist stuff on the pi thing... they were like, well, the sea was flared out "like a lily" so... blah blah about the diameter being smaller wherre the measurement was taken... blah blah.

  Sounds like the mental contortions JWs use to explain away disturbing scriptures.

  Ha ha- where in the bible does it say that pi = 3?? that is a good one.

  There was a state (or school district?) that wanted to change pi to 3... easier for the kids to remember or something? Maybe that was a bible-based decision...

  I shudder to think how I believed that the bible had the lastt word on science...

  Up til like the last year of undergrad!! eek!

  Hi Guys--!

  well- I am not quite sure on the exact dates I will be there.

  I will be checking snowlevels and stuff in the Sierra and making arrangements with some people I have to work with and see which weekend might be best.

  Do you really want to rent a cabin or just meet up while we stay in hotels there?

  Is Tahoe still a good spot for everyone? South Lake? North Lake?

  Maybe we could skip 4th of July weekend... it was super crowded last time. BUT it was really fun too...

  If you have weeks that work better than other weeks let me know!

  i just heard on npr that this is the time of year that colleges are sending out their acceptance letters.

  (the story was about high private college costs, but anyway).

  do you have a kid that recently received one?.

  Were you afraid to go to a bar?

  someone who shall remain nameless (*cough*snowbird*cough) mentioned she has never been to a bar.. this shocks me.. i was remembering how terrified i was of going to a bar when i was exiting the mother ship.

  i was looking for the lightning bolts to get me.

  and it was a big nothing really.

  I met my first *worldly* boyfriend when I was still a JW at a bar in my college town.

  Sounds just like a cautionary tale from the WT!!!

  Went to university, went out to a bar to see a show and got picked up on by this guy- started dating, stopped going to the meetings!! woohoo!
