  " It's commonly viewed as a secret society for a reason." Not a secret society, we all know it exists, but rather " a society of secrets" , secrets SO embarrassing they hope to keep a lid on it !

  Ah Norwich ! went there a couple of times, by car, we had to park the car a little way from the Stadium, a walk along the canal to go get, left the wife and kids , went to get the car, but, Lo and Behold ! a handy Pub right on the towpath ! Phizzy had a crafty pint, before collecting the family, then went out for some more in the evening !

  Got to make the whole thing as pleasant as you can, ain'tcha ?

  I found out after I left the org. some sensible JW's hired a barge and moored next to the Pub as their accommodation !

  Chance or intelligent design?

  cofty could you answer how the single cell came about by chance?.

  i know the argument for complexity in nature says natural selection over billions of years but this could not explain the complexity of the single cell the building blocks of life?.

  I found this an interesting comment on another Site about Abiogenesis :

  " Before DNA was RNA, which serves a similar function but is less stable. Before that there was no life. The RNA came first - it forms spontaneously on basaltic glass. Life started when a bit of self-replicating RNA got caught up in a lipid bubble."

  While I am here, my thanks go to Cofty for his succinct summary and explanation of Evolution and Abiogenesis. And to others who have added to what his post said.

  I appreciate what Cofty and you guys do.

  (is the Nick lane Book "Life Ascending" , rather than "Arising" or are they different books please ?).

  1975 on the back burner

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower

  “1975” still marks 6000 years from the creation of adam in wt calendar.

  according to “all scriptures inspired” book, there is a gap between the creation of adam and the creation of eve and her marriage to adam.

  it was at that point in time when eve was created that marked the end of the 6th creative day and the beginning of god’s rest, the 7th day as recorded in genesis.

  My aged memory may be faulty, but did they back-track on the 7,000 year long "Creative days" once, and say those days were of indeterminate length, or am I confusing them with something I have read from a slightly more rational source than J W org ?

  As Jeffro rightly points out, it is all nonsense when you look at the literary origin of the Eden Story. And as Jeffro has ably shown many times, the 1914 thing is the most utter, monumental, nonsense.

  If that Book is the one that gives a Thumbnail sketch of many religions, we did study it at the Tuesday group study, held in private homes. Prove me wrong.
