I guess you forgot to read page 58 of the book cofty?

"By nothing, I do not mean nothing, but rather nothing -- in this case, the nothingness we normally call empty space. That is to say, if I take a region of space and get rid of everything within it -- dust, gas, people, and even the radiation passing through, namely absolutely everything within that region -- if the remaining empty space weighs something, then that would correspond to the existence of a cosmological term such as Einstein invented." [page 58]

Answer yes or no for one question on the book cofty, does the book explain how the universe came from nothing, with nothing meaning 'the absense of anything'?

If you say yes I'll be very interested to see how the universe came from nothing. If this nothing has properties and attributes then you either didn't read the book or lying.

I looked up your book Cofty, tons of reviews claim the author doesn't stick to 'nothing' but tried to redefine 'nothing' into 'something'. I'll quote one of the reviews, " This book is a complete non-starter on the question implied in it's title "Why there is something rather than nothing". However the author doesn't let that deter him from redefining the word "nothing" to mean actually "something" and that "something" actually has properties such as "unstable", "energy", "dense", and "hot" i.e., by definition NOT "nothing"."

So since many reviews had the same claim, all I can say is, "Nothing to see here, move along!".

Who told me that? I learned that in elementary school science, a thing called, "The law of conservation of energy", which states that energy can be neither created nor destroyed. Or are you saying this scientific fact had new light like the WT and no longer applies?

"The term agnostic is pointless. We don't need a word for "I don't know"."

It is absolutely NOT pointless. As you said you are certain there is no god. Others see the evidence for spontaneous life and order out of nothing as easy to believe as everything here created by a God. Both sides can poke tons of holes in each sides claims. So agnostics are not at all convinced on either end of the spectrum.

At the core they end up being the same.

Big bang cause by nothing or God said, 'let it be' and big bang happened.

Impossible for them to believe that God is eternal and always has been yet they believe that energy is eternal, can be neither created nor destroyed. Everything is energy, God is energy, so believe in energy being eternal is the same as believing God is eternal.

Everything came from nothing or everything came from God.

Order spontaneously appeared out of chaos to result in life as we know it or God created order out of chaos.

Science proves there is a God

by seekchristonly in

fusion with god natural .

in the cosmos universe or whatever.

all things are made of the same materials etc so humans will always be fused with the universe in life and death because those building blocks are eternal.

EndofMysteries

I don't agree that science will make everybody athiest. For me, the more science I learn, the more of a believer I become at the most basic level. That is that there is intelligent design involved in our existence. It does not mean I believe or agree to everything or anything stated in any book or popular ideas about this entity.

Questions to ask God while in a Lucid Dream...?

by EndofMysteries in

jw
friends

assume that all 'visions' in the bible, including revelation, etc, were actually real and they happened while those people were lucid dreaming or in a lucid state.

assume that if god or angels were to speak to you, that is the way in which they would do it.

the 3 questions are about anything and the proof question is asking him something so you can verify the answer or the answer will give you absolute proof that it was him you were speaking to and it was not just in your subconscious making him up and the answers.

Oub - how do you know? the earliest writings are around 3500 bc. almost any writings, older than all those living today can't be 100% verifiable.

Let's say 300 years ago God appeared to a group of people, did all kinds of signs, powers, etc. They wrote down what happened. It could be disputed if it really happened, or if the writings are real, even if proven to be from this group if what they saw was real or some hallucination, etc.

I've thought of many reasons for silence and no verifiable proof 'today' if there is a God.

July 2014 WT cracks down on apostate debates and 'dance parties'

by EndofMysteries in

in the july 2014 study wt article titled "jehovah's people "renouce unrighteousness".

par 9 and 10 .

9. how did foolish and ignorant debates affect the early christian congregation?.

longhair - In states like Florida and CA, atleast 15+ years. I know in more conservative areas a JW party consists of having a picnic at the park and singing kingdom melodies or something like that.

Russell was the only one who didn't shy from public and open debates. I think it was after the fake rutherford took over the whole religion changed. He was embarrassed by being called out on his false prophesies, indulgent lifestyle, and angry how many left following him.
