Evolution or Creation?
by Doug Mason inwhat would the outcome be among people at this site if we were able to conduct a poll on belief in evolution or in creation?.
what would the outcome be if at the same time we asked for religious affiliation (including formal, informal, or none)?

Apologies. I am wondering mostly about belief in Evolution or in Creation. My , the second question is subsidiary to that. In other words, I wondered whether people here had hung onto Creation even though they had removed themselves from a form of religion.

Somewhere among thing I picked up along the highway of life is a leaflet given to me on the 1970s. A diagram showed that a destructive asteroid was imminent and there was thus the need to repent.
Nothing happened then either.
Not everyone says that Christ died on a Friday or that it took place at Passover in April, preferring the Day of Atonement (Yon Kippur) in Sept/Oct.
You are not alone in making such speculative predictions. History is strewn with unfulfilled expectations, with people famous, such as Isaac Newton, and people unknown. The list of expected imminent divine interventions run from at least as early as the 3rd century BCE, and includes writings now considered to be Scripture.
The lesson that history teaches is that people do not learn the lesson that history teaches.

i expect to finalise the next critique some time next week and i hope to complete the third critique a week or two after that.. as usual, please help me, especially with typos and grammar (australian spelling in my comments needs to be tolerated.).

No worries, Cofty.
I want to ensure these three Critiques are read in my preferred sequence. I feel that the second one, dealing with each of the brochure's 51 References, is by far the most important. I am waiting for one book, which will hopefully arrive early next week. Today i received the book listed as #51 in the WTS's brochure.
I am always open to any criticisms at any stage.

Fossils fail to provide a connection
by Doug Mason inpage 24 of “the origin of life” cites henry gee:.
a second, more serious challenge is the lack of proof that those creatures are somehow related.
specimens placed in the series are often separated by what researchers estimate to be millions of years.

LetTheTruth,
So you believe The Epic of Gilgamesh is historically correct, do you?
Are you saying that Gilgamesh went to Cuba?

The way that the author of the "Origin of Life" brochure uses the words from Henry Gee's book, he wishes to make it look as if Gee is speaking about transitions from "fishes to amphibians" . Here is the brochure's context:
=====
"What, though, of the fossils that are used to show fish changing into amphibians, and reptiles into mammals? Do they provide solid proof of evolution in action? Upon closer inspection, several problems become obvious. …
"A second, more serious challenge is the lack of proof that those creatures are somehow related. Specimens placed in the series are often separated by what researchers estimate to be millions of years. Regarding the time spans that separate many of these fossils, zoologist Henry Gee says: “The intervals of time that separate the fossils are so huge that we cannot say anything definite about their possible connection through ancestry and descent.”("The Origin of Life", page 24)
====
As the passage from Gee showed, he is speaking about direct lineal ancestry of a single species separated by millions of years.Doug
