  "Was that a scientifically falsifiable question?"

  I was just wondering what Hawkins motives are here - he seems quite definitive in his terminology.

  He recently stated that the universe did not need any creator because "Gravity" exists.

  Hawkins got blasted in the UK press for this becuase the obviouse question was then "Where did gravity come from"? The silence from the Hawkins camp was deafening in response.

  The science community do themselves no favours with this sort of rhetoric.

  Hawkins - very smart - most of the time....

  Stop and consider God

  is there really a god?

  is there really a divine creator or did the universe around us just "evolve?

  " what an incredible thought to even imagine that there could be a supernatural being so powerful as to create a universe.

  Descended from animal? Explain language.

  if, as evolutionists claim, all of mankind evolved from the same primitive life-source, then how did we end up with 7,000 different languages?

  did one gorilla get angry at another gorilla and decide to start a new language?

  i'm intrigued to know.. .

  I am sure the evolutionist community will have a theoretical postulation based on no eveidence to counter your argument.

  This was the 3rd year in a row I did not attend - I am doomed for sure now!

  No visit from local elders to invite us this year - they must have finally got the message.

  i don't know whether this has ever been asked, so i apologize if i'm repeating.. what did you do at the last meeting you ever attended?

  did you stay for the whole thing?

  what made you realize that this was your last meeting, or did you not know it would be your last meeting??.

  I had not been at a meeting for a few months due to moving house.

  I had already told Mrs Scotsman I had big doubts about the org.

  Anyway I finally attended a meeting at our new cong - walked in, put my briefcase on the chair and looked around and immediately knew I could not do it anymore, Went to the loo feeling a massive desire to walk out the hall.

  I sat through that meeting being reminded continually why I had to leave - meetings are totally different when your brain is switched on!

  A few pubs came up to me after the meeting to welcome me to the cong - I tried to keep composed but I suspect a few must have thought me a bit frosty.

  I went home after the meeting and told my wife I was not going back - she was pretty upset as I think she thought I was just going through a phase.

  The good news - she followed me out 5 months later.

  Best decision we have ever made - despite the fallout from it.

  To anyone thinking of doing the same - don't delay, escape today!

  heard an interesting story today of a little old lady in her nineties.

  the poor old dear had been in hospitial very poorly for a few months but as soon as she was discharged, even though she was still very weak,.

  she told her daughter "i must go to church on sunday".

  Let me get this straight - your questioning the existence of God because this woman fell out of a car when she was going to church!!

  All I can say is that she wanted to go to church and she will be happy that she tried to get there - despite her "accident".
