  Is it mathematically posible for Noah and his sons to have populated the earth?

  by Fisherman in

  2. beliefs

  bible says flood occurred approximately 4000 years ago.

  that is about *200 generations of breeding to get to the population on earth now.

  keep in mind that the population increase is geometric.

  Without solid evidence to stand on, Bible faith is impossible

  Exactly!

  ALL of the evidence proves there was no global flood. But don't worry your sort of faith is never impossible. It makes a virtue out of believing things despite the facts.

  the Watch Tower would be pleased devote any allocated moneys solely to the interests of Holocaust education and the remembrance of the prisoners who bore the purple triangle

  Straight into the paedophile defence fund more like.

  New Cochrane study results 30 Jan 2023. Meta-analysis of 15 relevant studies.

  'wearing a mask may make little to no difference in how many people caught a flu-like illness/COVID-like illness (9 studies; 276,917 people); and probably makes little or no difference in how many people have flu/COVID confirmed by a laboratory test (6 studies; 13,919 people).'

  You are not arbitrator but only an advocate. - Fishy

  I'm not an advocate. I think that Sai Baba is a fraud and the witnesses to his 'miracles' are deluded. And yet there are thousands of those witnesses within living memory.

  That ought to give you pause before trusting the veracity of ancient miracles.

  I did.

  Droplets from coughing or sneezing VERY close to somebody are a possible means of transmission but the real issue is aerosol indoors.

  Cloth masks were performative bullshit.

  The pigeon knocks over the pieces, shits on the board and declares victory.

  The subject of discussion is the veracity of reported miracles.

  You seem incapable of following a simple, rational argument. Carry on.

  Mathematical modeling of exposure to respiratory pathogens supports that transmission is dominated by short-range aerosol inhalation at most distances within 2 m of the infectious person, and droplets are only dominant when individuals are within 0.2 m when talking or 0.5 m when coughing

  This is EXACTLY what I said.

  Are there any new ideas coming from the Watchtower Society?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  my brother ( who is an elder ) tries very hard to get me back to the meetings.

  he calls me every time he and his son ( he's also an elder) give a public talk.

  they send me the zoom i.d.

  Is that a change or am I reading too much into it? - SBF

  I think it is rooted in the Watchtower idea of 'life' as reified 'thing' - a kind of force - that comes only from god.

  Jesus helped make all the stuff but it needed god to animate it.
