@ GabeAtHouse: Really? Please start a thread and provide your evidence. I have never seen ANY evidence that would "demolish" the Creation Account. What you got?
Personally I would like to know how plants survived before the Sun was created.
a new space telescope launched a few days age that will supposedly be able to see to within 100 million years of the big bang.
wow... only 100 million years from the big bang.
that is pretty early given the 12 billion year age of the universe assigned by scholars who adhere to naturalism.

This article says that the first galaxies took about a billion years to form. You would expect to see fully formed galaxies 13 billion years old if the universe is about 14 billion years old.
The Hubble telescope produced a similar picture in 2003/04. They mentioned the same ages then.
hi - quite the introduction, huh?
so the 'morning star' is christ himself and he has guided my thinking and studies to uncover where exactly the wtb&ts went off track, offending jehovah greatly and causing him to 'abandon his sanctuary'.
i've posted the information on reddit jwexwatchtower - please study the articles carefully and put them to the test versus scripture.
From Wikipedia:
Psilocybin mushrooms; commonly known as magic mushrooms, are a polyphyletic informal group of fungi that contain psilocybin which turns into psilocin upon ingestion.
gotta love jwdotorg as usual regurgitating the financially/politically motivated (and thoroughly disproved) climate change propaganda:.

Humans extra contribution of around 3-5% per year is a big deal.
Before the industrial revolution, CO2 in and CO2 out was pretty much in balance.
We are adding an extra amount of CO2 into the atmosphere every year that nature cant remove fast enough to maintain a balance.
Keep doing this for decades and it adds up.
Its not that hard to understand.

Simon:
Most charts are propaganda, with selective starting points (and different ones for different factors).
Some may be, but its hard to argue the evidence from ice core samples. They show a fairly stable level of co2 over the last 800 thousand years. During that time, co2 levels didnt exceed 300ppm. Around 1950, co2 levels broke out and are now at about 420ppm. It only took 60 years to break out of an 800 thousand year cycle.
Temperature increases precede CO2 rise (it's not "cause and effect")
I cant find anything that backs this up. Im not saying it isnt true, a link would be great.
i'm new to the forum and i have a question about what was said in a 16-year-old thread at this forum.
a poster by the name of leolaia said.... the author of 2 peter did not recognize that jude 6 was an allustion to 1 enoch (just as he did not realize that jude 9 was an allusion to the assumption of moses and thus rephrased it incoherently in 2 peter 2:11), or he may have objected to the enochic reference (just as jude 14-15 was omitted in 2 peter 2).
in either case, the author overlooked the enochic allusion and instead recognized the passage as an allusion of hesiod and thus embellished the passage from jude with an allusion to hesiod's tartarus.. .
Yet, if you present this historical reality to JW's, you will be treated like you are making it all up.

The fact you think the opposing argument to climate "consensus" is that climate change isn't happening shows that the misrepresentation is working. Almost no one thinks the climate doesn't change. It has from the beginning of time, and the amount of change now is so miniscule compared to historic changes that to attribute to CO2 (which is a RESULT of warmer temperature and not the cause of it, cart before the horse) is to not look at the whole of history
Blue Dog,
So the rapid rise of CO2 levels since the 1950's is completely normal and not man-made?
Just to flog a dead horse once again, we are at levels of CO2 not seen in a million years. It started increasing the 1950's, right around the time of the post war boom- but Im sure its just a coincidence.
But please, dont take my word for it, heres a nice little quote from NASA : "Human activities have profoundly increased carbon dioxide (a heat-trapping gas) levels in Earth’s atmosphere."

i know there was a leak a few weeks back, but this really does seem to have come out of the blue.. the anomaly was the original decision.
it clearly had no basis in law or the constitution, and was a flimsy, ridiculous ruling.
plus the whole thing was based on a fraudulent case in the first place.. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61928898.
"if you think that's bad, how about this: a US woman called Lindsey Ellis deliberately got herself pregnant just so she could have an abortion and make a documentary about it. The documentary is apparently called The A Word. WTF is wrong with these people?!"
Yeh, that is sick.
up to 30,000 people contracted hiv and hepatitis c in the 1970s and 80s after being given blood treatments or transfusions on the nhs.. thousands have since died.. it just goes to show there is no such thing as a sure thing.. the wts may be wrong about their blood doctrine, and their bible interpretation to justify it, and how they enforced the rules about it, but ultimately may be correct in claiming that "bloodless surgery" was a safer option medically.. canada also had a contaminated blood scandal, where 30,000 were infected with hepatitis c and hiv.. in other news, paying for blood from high-risk donors is a bad idea.
who knew?
well apparently the people behind the schemes did, and that's why they covered it up.. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-61929986.
