watching the fertilization of an ovum and subsequent cell division it appears that the new being is making itself.
parents were involved, unskilled labor, time, energy.
no thing has ever been observed to make itself, to my knowledge.
Watch episode 1 of Wonders of Life, good old Brian explains quite a bit if you are capable of hearing ...(oooooh, get the scriptual dig).
Download it in HD if you can find it, otherwise watch it online in crappy resolution...

most of the time i just lurk .
lots of times throughout the day.
however, something has come up that i would like some advice on, especially from members who were exiting the jw religion with young children.. .
Please try and avoid him spending a single moment more of his life in this destructive cult. I was born in and only left at 41, what a wasted life, what a wasted childhood, full of irrational guilt and fear. Dont let him end up like that.
brits might find this easier but where do you think i snapped this yesterday?
i'll only answer with a yes or no.. .
huge kudos to the winner.
I'd be sorley tempted to put that cart in the river...

Jeeez, I just puked a little seeing that picture...
a few things that don't fully add up in the bible seem to present an interesting possibility....... many comment on how in the old testament god at times seems so different from the new testament, and on a rampage all the time.
before stephen was martyed, he said for the 40 years wandering in the wilderness they were actually following moloch?
or in exodus, god told moses he was sending an angel to lead them and they better obey him fully because the angel would be unforgiving if they didn't follow his every word.
Is Darth Vader real? That is more probable as we have seen him in some movies.....
the caption under the picture in the first article.
hail christthe glorious king!says:.
birds will be called on to cleanse the earth (see paragraph 18).
Doh! Bobcat didnt get it.
The GB are quackers and have the collective brains of a headless chicken.
i've spent the last few years examining my core beliefs to test what still stands.
i've let go of an inviolate bible, demoted jesus to a failed prophet, and god as unable to act against injustice.
our universe made itself.
Yes it is a pox on mankind. (cancer is a better analogy)
Humans like answers to questions, so in the absence of good data tend to make stuff up to fit. The plausible (at the time) explainations end up being FACT until proven otherwise. These days we have huge and improving amounts of good data and so most of those old stories and myths have been debunked because we have better data.
Giant bones sticking out of the hillside or found in the ground are no longer evidence of giants or dragons.
The vast oceans are no longer evidence of a global flood, nor are seashells on the top of mountains.
Disease or mental illness is no longer atrributed to demons or sin.
Religion was born out of a need for answers and exploited over the ages by those who saw the power and control available over those seeking those answers and to maintain the status quo, those who had the knowledge and the chanel and those who had to pay to use it.
Religion is now redundant. Good works and charity can be done by anyone, faith is not needed.
"however, it would be appreciated if such donations are made without restrictions as to where and how the funds may be used.
" additionally, at this time, there is no need for donations of food, clothing, or other items.
if such needs arise in the future, you will be notified accordingly.
Give us your f&ckin money, we will spend it how WE want to!!
i have to say, i don't think the last couple of years have been that good for the spectacle of f1.
there have been quite a few good races and moments but red bull and vettel winning all the time ... well, it get's a bit boring.. tomorrow is the last grand prix of 2013 in brazil before major changes to the cars for 2014. back to turbo engines (but tiny 1.6 litre ones!
) and much more focus on efficiency and energy recovery.
Dull is the word. Only wet races offer mcuh excitement these days. Hopefully next year will be better.
I watched it and thought it was mediocre and heavily over hyped... but maybe that's just me.
