  i have started walking every morning for twenty or thirty minutes.

  so yesterday i had to work and almost didn't go, but decided to get in a quick ten minute walk.

  i don't usually take my phone, but decided to take it, and i was so glad i did because a block from my house i came upon an older chinese man face down on the sidewalk and bleeding profusely from his mouth/face.

  The way I see it if a person has a nothing argument, then where there is nothing there must be something.

  That didn't parse well. Are you saying theists have nothing arguments, therefore there must be something to them?

  On the subject of theists arguments equating to nothing, I wholeheartedly agree - they have nothing to back up their arguments.

  There is an important distinction between having a high standard of evidence required for extraordinary claims and believing anything just because someone makes a claim.

  Earliest Life on Earth Pushed Back Another 300 Million Years

  researchers have found evidence of ancient microorganisms that lived in what is now western australia at least 4.1 billion years ago.

  if confirmed, the discovery suggests that life originated on earth 300 million years earlier than previously thought.

  .... the ancient microorganisms in question were found trapped inside zircons formed from magma in western australia.

  God
  I hate when people fake an interest in all things science just to argue with theists. A thread like this is nothing more than bait to suck someone into a circular go nowhere argument where you can mock and ridicule someone’s beliefs.

  What? Why would you say that? This was a very interesting conversation on an important discovery before you brought God into the mix.

  EDIT: Awwww...someone clicked dislike. Hahaha.

  Feature request: threaded PM conversations.

  by cappytan in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  just a feature request.

  not necessary, however it's just a suggestion.. it'd be nice to have threaded conversations in the private message system so you can see what the person who replies to your message was replying to.. sometimes it's days between messages and you have to go back into your sent folder to find out what they're talking about for context.. just an idea..

  Intriguing - but Unsubstantiated!

  according to one source on a western european 'apostate' website, the org's plan is to abandon the name "jehovah's witnesses" in the future, and replace it with "worshippers of jehovah.".

  http://www.bruderinfo-aktuell.de/index.php/fixnews/#comment-4313 .

  the gist of the account appears to be a repeat of rutherford's re-branding and debunking of old predictions made by the previous shower of fakers.

  If they actually did change the name, could one argue that since one was baptized as a Jehovah's Witness, the name change severed your tie to the organization?

  Ignoranceisbliss: it may not be what we know of as DNA. But it could be some other kind of self-replicating molecule. Pure speculation, obviously, but it could be that in a different environment it took on a different form.

  Fascinating to contemplate.

  This means that other goldilocks planets likely have some form of life.
