evolution is how we got here.. demonstrate that you believe that all species evolved from a single cell over/within 3.5 billion years by tapping "like" below.. demonstrate that you believe in special creation by tapping "unlike" below..
roughly a third of Americans reject microbe to man evolution as well.
No doubt. This is one of the reasons we know that a good chunk of Americans are morons.
Once you establish that the United States is probably the most religious of all the developed countries, it then follows that a good portion of the population is bound to believe in the fairy tales that religion teaches.

Isn't it funny how after months of drifting in a massive rain storm, the Ark somehow ends up again in the middle east on top of mt Ararat.
How could it be different? The peasants that made up that story didn't even know there were other lands in the world.
remember top shelf tony da turd broadcasting that world wide 2 years ago at the end of the convention?
well 2 years later do we see the slightest hint of the nation's declaring peace and security or going after religion?
so how was it imminent?
It's really too bad that the Org doesn't commit to a date like they used to do. They can just play this game of hanging the carrot in front of JWs with this endless notion of the big A being just around the corner.
In my last discussion with my JW sister, i asked what she thought a reasonable amount of time is for the big A to happen and after some pressure, she said that 10 years is a reasonable amount of time. The problem is that 10 years go by and people barely realize time flying by. Before they know it, they will be 80 years old and their entire life was spent waiting. How sad.

Since only a handful of fish are euryhaline, it would seem that the majority of the fish species would have died off in the flood.
So what? God was totally fine with killing 99.99 percent of all land animals. I'm sure he would be ok with doing the same with the fish.
the donald has recently suggested that he would like to look into buying greenland from denmark in the same manner that alaska was purchased from the russians.
i think the danes would be smart to look into selling it as it is costing them money every year with very little returns for their investments so far.. the alternative might well be that donald declares greenland a national security threat and invades them so that the world remains safe for democracy.
i would suggest to the danes that as any other real estate transaction that they put it on the open market and see how much russia or china are willing to offer .
I suspect the buffoon-in-chief is not only helping to destroy our planet by denying climate change, but is actually going a step further by trying to profit from it, by trying to purchase a land mass that would eventually be devoid of the ice mass that is in the way of reaping its resources.
why are for the most part brown-colored people held in detention centers?
where are the rest of illegal immigrants?i think the question is valid -- as one website noted: "the u.s. government does not maintain reliable demographics of who is in immigration detention..." (https://www.freedomforimmigrants.org/detention-statistics).
a canadian woman not too long ago said to me (spontaneously - i did not bring up the subject) the following words when she heard the live tv news broadcast, which dealt about the immigrants being held at dozens of detention centers in usa: "i am canadian, and i have been living here illegally for 29 years.
The difference is that the MAJORITY of Europeans, Asians and African people come here legally or are truly refugees and then their status changes
Exactly. That is actually the answer to the original post. The United Status enforces the law really only at the border or within 100 miles of the border. Immigration agents are not really combing the streets looking of illegals.
So because they only apprehend people at the border, in this case the southern border, it's normal that the detainees will be from Central America.
Illegal immigrants who are white, typically arrive via plane, and have a visa that let's them into the country, and then end up staying illegally. As far as Canadians, same thing. They don't need a visa to get it, so they just get in and end up staying illegally.
this doctrine / belief that jehovah`s witnesses have , surely raises a few questions that they do not address.. 1.this spirit being challenged god by questioning his authority and offering eve an alternative making himself satan.. and this took place on earth ,the garden of eden.
so he who became satan had access to the earth.. 2. all throughout the old testament , the hebrew scriptures do we find examples of satan interfering with gods plan of things either by himself or his followers .. 3.their are just too many examples to list individually ,however a few key ones would be , the nephilim , job when god in heaven asks him where he has been , and his reply , from roving about on the earth .
, etc.etc.. 4.and of course in the new testament , where jesus is taken up into a mountain to be tempted by satan for fourty days ?.
And why exactly does God needs to acquiesce to Satan's challenge, especially if this means it will cause suffering and despair? This is what JWs teach... "Oh Satan challenged Jehovah about the ability for humans to live their lives without God"... so what?
If you have a kid and I go up to you and I challenge you that your kid cannot be fed, clothed and taken care of without your help, will you then throw your kid on the street and tell him "Sorry son, someone challenged me about your ability to live without me. Have a nice life. See ya, and prove me right".
The whole thing is incredibly stupid.
recently a friend and i were having a conversation about the news media.
he is a democrat but he’s also a very reasonable person.
i’ve known him for many years.
Anyone who believes the news from the major outlets can be trusted is seriously misguided (with all due respect).
This is typical hyperbole that is not supported by factual evidence.
If this is true, then out of the hundreds of news pieces found in the New York Times, for example in the last week, it should easy for you tell us 3 FACTS reported by the NYT that are factually incorrect.
Waiting...
it’s funny how a simple question like this is something that the dubs never even consider.
my dad asked this question to a couple of witnesses and they wondered for a minute and said; .
“i never thought about it, i’ll have to ask the elders”.
The sun is about 93 million miles away from Earth If ... If Earth were closer to the sun, however, the oceans would boil away. and if farther we would not be able to live on earthAnd if that had happened, we wouldnt be here. That's the whole point.

There is a big difference between reporting news from a specific angle or with a bias, and completing fabricating facts.
When CNN or Fox News or the New York times, report on something, it can be trusted that the FACTS reported are probably true. They just report on things from a specific angle.
So if CNN for example, has 10 news items about Trump and 5 are negative, they will emphasize those, and perhaps only mention the positive ones in passing. FoxNews would probably do the opposite.
So this is not about calling Fake News to any news that is critical of you, like our buffoon-in-chief does. It's about recognizing that actual truthful facts can be reported with different biases and perspectives.
