think about this and close your eyes...think about what it is to have no existence for all existence..and nothing for all existence...notice how u cannot have both at the same time lol!
that is crazy!
that means if there was nothing for all existence..then it has to remain that way..and even if some particles or energy exploded to give life to earth and the planets..it still does not make sense to believe that a explosion can design humans or animals...thats just like saying i am gonna get a another house out of a explosion!
BLACKBOO,
WATCH THE DAMN VIDEOS I POSTED FOR YOU! RESEARCH THE PROCESS! STOP THIS NONSENSE, YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!
EVOLUTION HAPPENS OVER SUCCESSIVE GENERATIONS, NOT WITHIN ONE INDIVIDUAL. GENES NEED TO GET PASSED ON FOR IT TO WORK! YOU DON'T CHANGE INTO ANOTHER SPECIES AS YOU GET OLDER, CATS DON'T TURN INTO DOGS AND WE SHARE A COMMON ANCESTOR WITH OTHER APES, APES DON'T GIVE BIRTH TO HUMANS!
STOP BEING SO CLOSED MINDED, PLEASE!
first off, i no longer believe the bible to be the inspired word of god.
but with my heart i want to believe.
i love the idea of an all-powerful deity that cares for me and the rest of humanity.
I don't believe it is a case of either the Bible is the word of God or it isn't. That is black & white thinking. The truth always lies somewhere in the middle.
Hardly. Here, I'll show you:
I have 100 billion in the bank. True? No.
Does the truth lie somewhere between 0 and 100 billion? Yes, but nowhere near the middle. I don't even have 1 billion. Saying I have 100 doesn't automatically mean I have around 50.
here are some questions evolution never bring up or will evade questioning.
these are serious questions that kill all the silly beliefs about how the earth or universe got here..and here is why.
think about this for a second we would not be here if nothing for all existence did not exist.
I dont really see any of us ever having the capability to resurect the dead in order to reverse the injustices done over the centurys
I don't see how fictional characters could either. Who said life was fair? Suck it up, you're too old for wishful thinking.
i dont know about you, but this is one of the most difficult issues of being a jw (at least for me).
as we were living on a spiritual paradise (totally unreal), we used to believe everything the gb said without questions.
i was not going to get old, or go to high school, or go to college or get married and the "big a" was going to finish the "wicked system" ... and them we were going to have a paradise earth forever.... .
I see it from the other side. I always thought I was going to die at armageddon, so when I found out it was false, I realized I could have another 70/80 years to play with, instead of just a few months or years. We're lucky to have anything considering the number of potential humans who could be born but aren't. You could have been a mayfly and got 3 days of existence.
Thoughts should be less about wanting extra after this incredible life, and mre about appreciating what you were lucky enough to have in the first place.
As far as being dead goes, if it's non existence I have no fear of that. It didn't bother me before I came into this world.
it's strange and i'm not sure if it's because of my upbringing, but i just can't be pro-choice.
i just don't see the rational justification (other than a situation where the mother's life is in danger).
i don't, however, see a problem with stuff like the morning-after pill, when the embryo is just a group of cells with no consciousness.
Who gets to determine if that home is loving or not? Social workers?
The child would be the only one to truly know.
Some things would be a matter of common sense. A beaten child given scraps to eat would need a better life, because that treatment isn't loving.
Emotional effects can be noticed too. Friends, teachers, etc may be able to see the signs.
If things are really so bad and no one happens to notice, there is still the option of suicide. But after noticing the people here complaining about their loveless lives haven't actually killed themselves, I'm presuming living with it is better than not living at all. Grown adults are quite capable of looking outside the family for good relationships.

I thought you already believed in evolution, BTS. Regardless, it's still interesting, so yeah, go for it.

beksbks:
Seratonin, I'm sorry, but the idea that there are so many loving families out there ready to take on these children, and love them and give them a chance in this life is generally bunk. Most of us mothers and potential mothers have an extremely strong desire to protect our children. My point is that if someone is capable of aborting their own child, maybe in the long run it's best. That is what nature does. Heck, mother cats eat their young if they feel they are in too much danger!
If the mother doesn't want their child, they can give it to someone who does. We as a society intervene if the parents are bad, we don't let them treat their children any way they wish. I wouldn't want children raised in loveless environments either, but as there are couples who cannot have their own children, they seem to fill a role here, and I don't think there are hardly any of them. If the problem is love, then the mother with none can give the child to someone with plenty to offer.

You don't have to believe in the Egyptian gods to appreciate the buildings and statues they created as part of their worship. The pyramids still give people a sense of wonder, even though they were originally designed as afterlife machines. I think you can seperate it today with the modern religions too.

Black Boo, in many parts of your country schools are not teaching you about evolution correctly, or putting it at the same level as 'Intelligent Design'. It's not your fault you've been educated poorly, but now that you're using the internet you're in a position to learn what evolution is REALLY all about and how much evidence there is for it.
Most people who think evolution is a lie simply have misconceptions about it. These videos were made for schoolchildren, and are fairly easy to understand. Before you ignore it outright, why not first take a look?
the authorized shepherd of the jehovahs witnesses was chosen to help get truth out to mankind at one time; but christ warned that the shepherd had better be doing what was supposed to be done when he arrived for the inspection in these last days.
because they have misinterpreted much of the words true meaning, they have been in the dark on much of what yahweh meant.
the shepherd over the jehovahs witnesses became corrupt, but the jehovahs witnesses did not become corrupt intentionally.
I'm afraid you'll find you're just as deluded as they are.
