Hey Satanus. Okay, but a book I read awhile back said that genetic similarity is based on similarity of function not heredity. Apes and humans have similar parts for similar jobs so therefore we have very clos genetic resemblence. Plus, I'm not arguing for Bible science. Just the ID argument in general. Also, I'm not completely convinced that ID is right. I'm Googling for some more info. Oh man! Check this out! http://goldennumber.net/ See? It's this sort of thing that comes along and BAM! knocks me for a loop and makes me take a breath and rethink. G (I might just be a sap too thats why I posted)

Evolution still bugs me
by Geronimo ini know there are a lot of threads on evolution and creation and i've read a few here and there.
how can complex systems arise of themselves in the face of entropy?
one evolutionist book i read used snowflakes to show this is possible.

Hey AlanF that makes a lot more sense than the snowflake argument.
Nutter is being a nutter. Hey nutter, thanks for clarifying (sic?). -

Hi nutter. Now im confused and I see why I'm having trouble with this whole issue. I know you're trying to be funny and instructive at the same time, and Ill bet you succeeded. But I don't get it. Which side are you arguring for? Maybe neither? There are greater things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in my philosophy. G

You can count on the NWT to mutate everything so it doesn't conflict with their theology. Eventually theyll have the whole bible all smoothed out and fitting into their world. G

I know there are a lot of threads on evolution and creation and I've read a few here and there. Believe me I've given this topic a LOT more thought than most other things. When I read creationist articles and books (Yeah I have three from the CRS)) they make sense. In fact the arguments seem really obviously logical. When I read evolutionist arguments sometimes they make sense and I can follow the logic trail. But most of the time it just doesn't make any sense to me. That doesn't mean evolution doesn't make any sense. It could just be that I'm in over my head. This is something that I'm not going to just let go of really easy. Some of the basic arguments are flawless in my mind. Entropy seems like a huge nail in the evolution coffin.
How can complex systems arise of themselves in the face of entropy? One evolutionist book I read used snowflakes to show this is possible. That seems really weak to me. Okay, here's the deal: All of the other ways that science has disproven the Bible, such as a flat earth, an earth that doesn't move, a sun that orbits the earth, all of them have a smoking gun for proof. Pics of the earth from space, etc. I don't see the smoking gun for evolution. I see lots of extinct animals. I see strange races of people different than us. Smaller and taller, stronger and weaker, bigger and smaller brains, but they're humans. Is there a smoking gun for evolution? I'm not arguing in favor of Biblical creationism, but ID makes sense to me. A lot of sense in fact. What was it that convinced you that evolution is true? Or not true? I never gave evolution much thought before I became a Dub. I just accepted it. Now I'm going to worry that evolution bone till I crack it. G -

Possable "New Light"?
by 2112 inwith all the "buzz" around the up-comming october anouncment, i have a question.
i have thought about this for a long time, is it possable that they would tell all those married to non-witnesses to divorce their mates?
it could be for the reason of "unevenly yoked", and/or keeping spritually clean.

Nah. I think even the GB knows people have a limit as to how much crap they'll eat. This would be waaay over the legal limit. I hope the Big Announcement is a new date for Armageddon! Man, imagine all the Dubs coming to your house and being able to give them a horse laff? Be prepared for a mass exodus after the date comes and goes. This board will explode at the seems! G

What part of the bible makes no sense to you?

please make this less than 100 lines....

24 Now it came about on the road at the lodging place that Jehovah got to meet him and kept looking for a way to put him to death. 25 Finally Zip·po´rah took a flint and cut off her son’s foreskin and caused it to touch his feet and said: “It is because you are a bridegroom of blood to me.” 26 Consequently he let go of him. At that time she said: “A bridegroom of blood,” because of the circumcision. Exodus 4:24, 25, 26
Reams and reams of the Bible don't make sense to me, but this part really stuck in my head. I recall thinking "WTF? Jehovah is one spooky dude man, and the Bible is kinda creepy." G -

Apocryphal writings
by Ade ini have an interest in apochryphal writings and would appreciate the thoughts of others who have read them and which ones you hold as inspired and that you personally would see in the bible.

I really like The Wisdom Of Jesus ben Sirach, or Ecclessiasticus. Plus First Maccabees. The Nag Hammadi Library is like the Bible in that it has some total junk and some really good stuff. The Gospel of Thomas is good. G

Ade, that's another thing. The NWT. I keep finding all these sneaky ways they've managed to rewrite the Bible! I already knew some of the ways, but here you've shown me a brand new example. Plus Narkissos has pointed out that this verse from Peter is originally from Jude! I looked these verses up, and also the words in Strong's. I still had my copy of the NWT until this morning. I threw it out. Thanks for another eye opener! G
