  something i cant comprehend is when religous types justify terrible things as part of "gods plan".

  One thing the article didn't touch on that I think would be interesting is to compare the birth rates of religious vs. non/not so religious people. It seems to be the case that birthrates among religious people is higher.

  I got them all with 5 minutes remaining. Would've been faster if I was a better speller.

  Got all Europe with about 4 minutes remaining, I had to cheat a bit and look up the spelling of Leichtenstein, and Bosnia Herzegovina.

  What proof is there of evolution?

  by hotchocolate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  being raised a witness, throughout my life i've always switched off when i heard an argument for evolution.

  so i know almost nothing about the subject, except what i was taught in the "evolution vs creation" book, and i'm guessing that wasn't entirely impartial.

  i think of the arguments put forth by witnesses about the amazing design in nature, thereby proving a creator.

  All life on Earth shares a common ancestor, and through random mutations and the process of natural selection over several billion years has brought about the diversity of life today. That is pretty much evolution in one sentence.
  
  As far as proof the fossil record shows the progression from simpler life to more complex life. Also you can see the process of natural selection at work in microbes that infect people as a lot of human disease causing microbes are becoming resistant to antibiotics.

  The Bilderburgers, the Illuminati, and the Freemasons.
  
  They've formed a financial triumvirate to control my condo.
  
  Or it could be JP Morgan Chase, I'm not sure.

  No, but she'll destroy the Democrats' chances of winning out of spite. If she can't win then no one can.
