  Jesus was a home-wrecker and a false prophet.

  The wonder of scientific research

  by amicabl in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this has possibly been brought up before however here goes.. constant reference is made by many posters to scientific research as being the only way to prove something factual that would otherwise have to be taken on faith.

  there actually seems to be "faith" in scientific findings.. my experience over many years is that most scientific research is fake.

  nothing oftencomes of the big announcements made to raise more money.. money, prestige, pride, human error, suppositions etc., are rife amongst the scientific community.. i realise that there have been many advances over hundreds of years but humankind is in a mess, although very different to even a century ago.. the medical profession now has vaccinations for everything, antiviral drugs etc.

  The scientific method has transformed our world for the better.

  The problem that you seen to be having is a common one. Most people are scientifically illiterate and easily misled by attention grabbing headlines in the popular press and on the Web.

  Science is a brutal self-correcting environment. Understanding it takes a lot of attention and effort which most people don't want to invest. You can find a "scientist" who will support any daft idea you can think of. Assessing whether his or her statements are worth anything is a different matter.

  i would like to remind those folks younger than i that it was very few years ago when almost the entire planet earth was run by and for the benefit of men.women have throughout history been the property of men.due to religious restrictions, teachings, and fundamentalist doctrines, women in the largest societies on earth right now (muslim, chinese, n.korean) have almost no human rights at all.next year, in june, women will, for the 1st time, be allowed in arabia to drive---but--only if they are 30 years old or older, and for only a few hours per day!the old testament laws (read through them sometime) are horrifying reflective of prejudice toward gender, bodily cleanliness, guilt-tripping, and anonymity.

  (what was noah's wife's name?

  lot's wife?

  I should feel just as comfortable hitting a woman as I would a man.

  No you shouldn't. Your instincts are correct.

  Equality of opportunity does not negate difference.

  I can't remember the details now but I saw a documentary that showed how evolutionary principles were applied in finding engineering solutions.

  The eventual purge of sexism adjustment is not complete and WILL NOT BE until everybody my age and slightly younger, has DIED and those who reared their children in sexist latent prejudices and mindsets have died also. - Terry

  Massive sweeping generalisation!

  You then went on to explain how much your views have changed since your younger days. So why does the cause of feminism need you and the rest of us to die?

  Almighty God poured out his anger on Christ instead of mankind as an atoning sacrifce buying back what adam had lost.

  This is a JW-inspired understanding of the gospel. Totally alien to christianity.

  There is a long essay on the difference here...
