  Present some evidence for evolution...

  by Spade in

  2. bible

  there's no evidence that can't be overturned and exposed as deception in the scientific community.

  jehovah's witnesses don't stonewall any new findings.

  we have degree regarding adaptation.

  Can't take this thread seriously. So how about this hilarious video of a guy falling off a ladder on the Shopping Network...

  So why are there earthquakes?

  they cant be an accident, because everything god does is intended.. so, if god created everything perfect, there shouldn't be any disasters: earthquakes, tsunamis etc.

  so either he didn't create them perfectly, because he couldnt therefore, he lacks some qualities: all-powerful, all-wise or because he didnt want to, therefore being malevolent (he knew that there will be life on earth, and those disasters could harm this life).

  either way it doesnt look good for him.

  Exactly, far too much misinformation about evolution out there. So frustrating considering how much evidence there is for it...and it has nothing to do with belief in god.

  I wouldn't label Dawkins as hostile, but that's subjective I suppose. Either way, if he's hostile then I'd say those fighting against evolution being taught in schools are equally hostile.

  I'd really hope I'm still alivee to see humanity advance past this stage.

  PSac...yeah I know the US is not the world. I'm Canadian, WE'RE the world. LOL
  
  I thought the results would be much better (accepting evolution) in the UK and Canada, and they are, but not by a whole lot. Dawkins at the end of The God Delusion lamented on poll results in the UK showing high non-acceptance of evolution.
  
  I have no data to back this up, but I'd bet the mass populace of Muslims don't accept it either.

  evolution is accepted by the majority of Christians.

  Heck the RCC with over a bilion christians accepts it.

  I wish that were true, but sadly not. Only 4 out of 10 Americans believe in it, let alone the majority of Christians. Ask your nearest tea party member what they believe.

  Just because the official stance of the RCC accepts evolution, it is an exaggeration to state that every single Catholic also agrees. Heck, most likely have no clue the RCC even backs it.

  Edit: forgot the Gallup poll link...http://www.gallup.com/poll/145286/four-americans-believe-strict-creationism.aspx

  Also note 40% of americans believe god created humans in their present form.

  Perhaps the evolution of human consciousness is something we're still grappling with. A tiger by the tail so to speak. NO ONE can possibly know why we're here or why. I want to know, and spend far too much time on it too.

  My dog seems to be just too blissfull...he sleeps, eats, shits, and loves walks...but doesn't waste any time wondering "why am I here?". He just IS. Poopsie is on to that same thing...we CAN'T know, at least yet...but it may come. In the meantime, rest your endlessly cycling brain and enjoy. Just BE.

  I do admit that sounds utterly Buddhist...but I consider that philosophy, not religion.

  And, if only I could take my own advice.

  Out of all the religions in the world our family chose the Jehovah's Witnesses!

  around 1970,two jehovah's witnesses knocked on my uncle's door and handed him a watchtower magazine.

  he read it and started a bible study with the two witness brothers joined by his immediate family.

  my uncle soon called my aunts,uncles,and my mom and dad.

  I've had that thought in my head for a couple years now. Being a born-in JW has crazy odds, the exact OPPOSITE of winning the ultimate lottery.

  I figure it was about a 0.001% chance (JW population divided by total earth population). That there is some bad luck.

  miseryloveselders: OR you could've been born a Hilton, or one of Bill Gates kids. But yeah, I get your point.

  In that case, it's great satire. Though sad it is very believable, because where else have we seen this kind of crazy?
