i have a question to the board.. if someone asks you the below question, how do you respond?
please reflect on why you think the question was asked.
(background... the spouse was talking to dubs about 6000 yrs and wanted to tell them that it was proved false).
Homo sapiens, the first modern humans, evolved from their early hominid predecessors between 200,000 and 300,000 years ago. ...... The first modern humans began moving outside of Africa starting about 70,000-100,000 years ago.
Decades vs a millennium - seems like quite a stretch if intelligent man has been here a hundred thousand years. The gospels were written within the lifetime of the Apostles.

Interestingly
"The span of recorded history is roughly 5,000 years, beginning with the Sumerian cuneiform script, with the oldest coherent texts from about 2600 BC. Ancient history covers all continents inhabited by humans in the period 3000 BC – AD 500."
Why do you think human beings did not start recording history before the 6000 year mark? Anyone have a theory about that?
i can not find this ,does anyone know?
thanks.

Hi Menrov
Hi Vanderhoven7, you said "Could this be a dangerous precedent?" Why is this to be considered dangerous?
Well what other religious beliefs or practices might state legislation prohibit? I remember the flap created by bill C16 regarding the use of preferred pronouns.
I believe that an appeal will overturn the current verdict on the basis of freedom of association rights.
However, the state has the right to remove tax exempt status from any church institution and perhaps they might consider that option.

You have probably heard of the trial going on in Belgium about the shunning policy of JWs. Several ex-members took the JW org to court stating that the policy violaties the anti-discrimination law of the country. The judge has decided that this is correct, and has issued a fine of 12,000 euros for 'instigating discrimination and hate' against ex-members. This is the first time the organisation has been convicted in Belgium.
Quote from the judge: "The organisation promotes their disfellowshipping policy in their local faith communities, which compromises several pillars of our basic human rights. At no point did the community consider the very harmful consequences for the victims. It is up to the justice system to stop those practices. In our society, religious rules are not above the law."
