Devolution, not evolution
by abiather inscientists discovered an organism that has not evolved in more than 2 billion years (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/02/150203104131.htm) .
one can dismiss this as an exception*!
yet overwhelming proofs are too obvious to miss if we take the community as an individual (community is the reflection of the behavior pattern of the individuals that make up the whole).

after showing my wife the 'trolley song' as we now call it, she was rolling on the floor in embarrassment and shock.. she shook her head, and was clearly troubled by what we watched.. little by little, the org is actually helping more to wake up!

Natural "gene therapy" occurs in nature - The Emerald Green Sea Slug, uses genes from the algae on which it feeds.
by cantleave inthe authors of a paper presented in the biological bulletin have provided the first direct evidence that the emerald green sea slug, an unusual little beast in that it helps sustain itself by photosynthesis, has within its chromosomes genes that come from the algae it eats.. this is an example of gene transfer from one species to another.
in effect this is exactly what the the goal of gene therapy is.
it is anticipated that gene therapy techniques will prevent many genetically based diseases in humans.

I think photosynthesis can work in humans but you must to be green.
Gene therapy is already a reality. Theres a medicine called Glybera. Bad news it still the most expensive medicine in the world and it just treat pancreatitis.
And this is a good example of rapid evolution.

What's the point of the OP? ToE predicts organisms that not evolve in a non changing environment. Sharks are a good exemple of big organisms that went almost identical through ages. Nothing new under the sun... -

The contempt of Anthony Morris: the face doesn't lie.
by freemindfade ini have noticed something even long before even looking into ttatt, something about morris bothered me.
i am personally very attuned to body language, facial expressions and general subtleties in human interaction.
there was something about his face that really bothered me, and i will explain it.

Attention all Bethelite Lurkers!
by The Searcher inyou have your bethel watchtower study on a monday evening, as i understand it.therefore, prepare your hearts and your bible trained consciences to "test the inspired expressions" being presented as bible truth in the next study article - especially this one;w14 11/15 p. 26 par.
"acts 1:8 - "you will be witnesses of me...." [jesus]john 1:15 - "john bore witness about him..." [jesus]john 5:37 - "the father who sent me has himself borne witness about me.
"revelation 12:17 - ".......and have the work of bearing witness to jesus.

Because the father is greater than Jesus. You can't win this logic if a person equates jehoobah with god, the father. The bible itself it's too misty about jokehovah being the trinity father. I think in a strict biblical view That Jesus is an avatar of the god, the son but it's not totally god, the sun. And YHVH was an avatar of god, the father. A demiurge who had a kind of magical physical body. -

Be nice to theists - they are victims of their genes
by cofty inidentical twin studies show there is a strong inheritable component to religiosity.
thomas bouchard studied identical and fraternal twins raised apart and tested them on religious attitudes.. the correlation for the former turned out to be 62% compared to just 2% for the latter.
his colleague.

Yeah some people will believe no matter how absurd a belief is. Only a programmed code can explain this behaviour. -

Just ask simple questions and make street witnesses move along
by OnTheWayOut inyou don't have to know much to talk to jw's and show them they don't want to really discuss the matters.they consider a discussion on the matter they are pushing to be "confrontational.".

Explaining away the increase in anointed
by lurkernomore inso i was just informed by my wife that her grandmother (who's also out) has been told by a 'sister' from her old hall that during their most recent circuit visit the co said something along the lines of:.
isn't it faith strengthening that the number of anointed is falling in relation to the increase in publishers?
