  I'm Starting To Understand Atheist and Evolution

  by Philadelphia Ponos in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  for many years i was sincerely perplexed when someone told me they believed in the evolution theory or were an atheist.

  i never understood how someone could ignore all the evidence for intelligent design and overlook all the holes in the evolution theory.

  for example, the human biology clock is synced with the rotation of the earth, the earth is the perfect distance away from the sun to sustain life, the earth has an ozone layer to protect us from the sun's radiation, the earth naturally produces fruits and vegetables to be used for food, our bodies produce enzymes to break down the fruits and vegetables so it can nourish us, the earth produces water and oxygen, etc.

  I see a lot of posters saying I don't understand the evidence of evolution and I am confused. Can anyone please post some of these so called facts that supports the evolution theory, becuase when I look up evolution all I see are assumptions and more theories.

  Philadelphia Ponos . . . While evolution is generally regarded theory, it is nevertheless based on known facts and in this area you need to be more topic-specific in assembling the evidence.

  As an example . . . examine the nature and established history leading to the existence of limestone/marble.

  Limestone formations (stalagtites etc) found in caves etc., can be dated to a fairly accurate level. Some are known to have taken as much as 30 million years to form. The limestone from which they have emerged is itself an ancient sea floor that has taken a vast period of time (sedimentation, tectonic uplift) to provide the conditions for these formations to form. The entire process can cover a period of 130 million years or more.

  But here's the thing . . . the material from which Limestone originates are expired marine creatures . . . the conclusion being obvious.

  Such verifiable facts (do the research) expose the Bible's creation account for what it is . . . allegory. Furthermore, by verifying these time frames, at the very least, the platform they provide lend support to the evolutionary model (theory). This is but a single example. There are many more.

  Now I'm not saying this proves there is no God . . . but if we are to have such a belief, it needs to harmonise with the evidence . . . as does evolutionary theory.

  PC . . . have to agree 100% . . . this type of thing annoys the shit out of me frankly . . . Vid No2 says it all. Mr Fearon . . . do us a favour and can that site . . . go away, have a think . . . and start another one . . . when the corpse of "six screens" has stopped smelling.

  my story....

  by losecontrol in

  2. scandals

  well i am new to this, and i must admit that at first i was very opposed to this site.

  i grew up being a witness and was warned about looking into apostate things, which is exactly what this site would be that they are referring to.

  i always tried to live my life the best that i could under the societys control, and never really got to have any life experiance at all.

  Water Canopy? Huh?

  by Mr. Falcon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  *** w80 11/15 p. 23 par.

  4 jehovah of armies to the rescue!

  the fact that today we do not have a vast water canopy suspended high up in space and all around our globe and thus blocking direct sunlight, moonlight and starlight is because jehovah saw what was going on down here upon his terrestrial footstool and took action.

  OK . . . I'm being lazy and just going from memory (35 years ago) . . . but I remember from Earth Science 101 that old river valley's exist on the sea floor that were formed when the ocean floor was actually land . . . about 130 million years ago . . . river valley's that carried huge volumes of water to the sea . . . river valley's formed by RAIN. The "inhabited earth" is subject to a miriad of cycles . . . some very long . . . apart from a few major events of a celestial nature. There is no evidence of a water canopy or earth-wide flood. From very early on in the earths life . . . it has always RAINED . . . here's an example

  

  Another good example is off the east coast of New Zealand's South Island . . . you can view it on google maps / google earth

  Headispinning.

  I have followed a number of your threads and have a reasonable idea of your situation.

  My first concern is that you may not get the re-instatement your looking for in that time-frame. As you probably know, the D/F BOE will be consulted and this may delay things for you considerably . . . you may have to wait a year, maybe longer. I don't wish to be discouraging, only to inquire if you are prepared for this.

  The other concern is the psychological well-being of BOTH of you. I recall my own experience when I became disillusioned . . . I travelled extensively giving talks (mainly to get away from my home congregation), but eventually suffered a breakdown . . . sounds a bit similar to your husbands experience. It has taken me seven years to recover to a "livable" degree. I guess my point is . . . to be realistic on what is required to achieve your goals . . . and be sure you have the support and strength to accomplish it.

  All the best for you both . . . your situation is awful . . . you have our support.

  Your regular pioneering . . . and yet you see yourself as a "crummy witness" . . . you will NEVER be good enough!

  Guilt has you thinking this way . . . it is a well-worn tool used by WT to get more out of you . . . you need to do better! . . . you need to do more!

  See it for what it is P_O_Y
