  in watching the latest video in the series "was it designed?

  " at tv-dot-jw-dot-org, i got to wondering why is it that watchtower hardly references scientist that are creationist.

  i know its only a minority from that group, but there are enough out there for them to reference from.

  The JWs I have spoken to on carts are completely ignorant as to how dinosaurs really became extinct or the time frame of when.

  I think finding a scientist or any academic who base their beliefs on evidence and facts lose their belief in fairy tales quite quickly and as more is known about how we got here a scientist with an imaginary friend becomes increasingly hard to find.

  We have a local fossil museum run by creationists and not a single quote is from this century and most are from pre moon landings. That is pretty damning evidence in itself.

  i'm looking for a creationist viewpoint on this video:.

  https://youtu.be/oetkajbg1ea.

  why was this creature created to behave the way it does?.

  I am sure the answer is something along the lines of our sin caused the creature's natural habitat to be lost or parasites evolved after the flood.

  There can be no justification of deliberately creating one species survival depending on the suffering of another's so whatever the answer the deluded creationist will never blame their all powerful and caring God.

  mostly we read about the regular holidays in the western world.

  now the other ones are also named, because some witnesses could be in doubt .

  I take CBD every day and without it my life is severely limited. I take it in oil form twice a day and vape it if I need a boost.

  last week i suffered two heart attacks, first one occurred while i was at home, phoned for an ambulance which promptly arrived and whisked me off too hospital, docs decided i needed a stent and during the angioplasty i had a massive heart attack according to the doc that did it.

  i was unaware as i was out.

  but what i want to say is what an amazing organisation the nhs is.

  The NHS delivered me and my brother, my 3 children, my 2 grand daughters and 2 great grand children. It has mended broken bones and removed tonsils and other problematic organs. It also provides me with the necessary lifetime medication I need to keep me alive. All costs covered.

  Unlike other countries I don't need to haggle with an insurance company to get my meds or find cheaper manufacturers as I see some from my support groups struggle to do because their insurance won't cover the cost. If I need health care the NHS provides it.

  Our NHS has its critics and is seriously underfunded but for now is still 100% free at point of service.

  Animals

  by unsure in

  2. beliefs

  if humans have to suffer to have free will and to disprove satan's challenge to god as mentioned in the bible...then why the f*ck do animals have to suffer as well?

  .

  satan's challenge involved humans and not poor animals.. i'm looking for an honest explanation from believers.. at this point, the older i get, the less i believe in a god who is "love"..

  Young hedgehog found on the track outside the pest exclusion fence of the Karori Wildlife Sanctuary

  Google threw up this.

  European hedgehogs were brought to New Zealand by European colonists in the 1870s to remind them of their homeland. They have now spread throughout the country, being absent only in inhospitable environments. The general public has a benign attitude to them but conservationists and regional councils regard these animals as pests as they prey on some native animals and compete with them for food.

  They are considered an "invasive" species the same as they are in Canary Islands where I used to live

  Should Voters Be Made To Prove They Are Eligible To Vote?

  i believe that just because someone shows up at the voting booth, it doesn’t automatically qualify them to be legitimate voters.

  i think it’s not unreasonable to provide proof that you are qualified..

  What about people who live in houses of multiple occupancy? How would you decide which one of them got the vote?

  I think politicians should not be allowed to lie or mislead because then at least when voting you are deciding who to vote for on policies not false promises.
