  Challenge to Creationists

  by cofty in

  2. beliefs

  in response to the 37 threads in my evolution is a fact series - see bottom of op for links - perry posted a link to an article "44 reasons why evolution isn't true".. i offered him a challenge on the thread and by pm.

  predictably he is totally ignoring it, so i am offering the challenge to any evolution-denier who thinks they have evidence to support their position.. please present one specific piece of evidence for creationism.. my task will be to refute it with evidence within 24 hours.. then i will present one piece of evidence for evolution and your challenge will be the same.. all posts must be as succinct as reasonably possible.

  entirely in your own words, without copy-paste, videos or links.. please post your interest to take part and we will set it up before the first actual post in the exchange.

  By the way have you managed to remember the titles or authors of even one of the many books you claimed to have read on the subject?

  Yes.

  I've read articles and books by Carl Sagan, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and one biology text by an author whose name I can't remember.

  I do remember, however, that it was she who proposed the theory of why we all have dreams or nightmares about falling. This, she propounded, is due to our early ancestors residing in trees, ever fearful of sustaining a fall. This fear was passed on to their offspring.

  Conversely, it doesn't rule out the possibility that it happened supernaturally.

  'Kingdom of God's birth in heaven in 1914' - first reference?

  by EdenOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  can someone tell me please when was the first time that the wts published something to the effect that the kingdom of god was born in heavens in 1914 / jesus enthroned invisibly in 1914 ?

  i see an obscure reference to an article in a golden age magazine in 1930 but i can't find the actual quote,.

  not looking for quotes that talk about the "coming" or "presence" since 1914. i'm looking for actual mention that the kingdom started in heavens in 1914. when was the first ever time this was clearly said in the publications?

  For those who doubt/spurn the Creation narrative, I've asked this question, and have never received an answer:

  Whence evil?

  Now, I've got another one:

  Why evil?

  Reflections on John the Baptizer

  by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  introductionisrael did not have a prophet in its midst for about 400 years.

  no, not since the time of malachi where the “old testament ends”.

  of his son just after his birth, the priest zechariah says...“but as for you, young child, you will be called a prophet of the most high, for you will go ahead of jehovah to prepare his ways, to give knowledge of salvation to his people by forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender compassion of our god.

  Since leaving the WT, I've learned that John the Baptizer was also viewed as the Elijah that was to come.

  John was born around Passover, and to this very day, some Jews leave an empty chair at the Passover Seder for him.

  Oh, the stuff to be discovered when you keep an open mind!
