I conclude evolution is guided

your qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.

Hadriel,

It is quite clear that you do not understand the subjects of abiogenesis and evolution. It is quite clear based on what you have written on this thread alone. Stating the obvious to you(i.e. you do not understand these subjects) is not insulting your intelligence, it is stating the obvious. That you do not accept that what you have written is, in essence, nonsense further adds to the initial observation that you do not understand these subjects.

Finally, you wrote:

What caused the biochemical event which made life and evolution even possible? Simple question but you've never even tried to answer it

We can't answer a question that is, again, in essence nonsense. This is yet one more observation that demonstrates your utter lack of knowledge in these subjects.

Perhaps it is time for you to go away and reflect on what you actually know rather than asking "clever" gotcha questions that you think are appropriate to a discourse of this nature.

The UN Files - Print Out And Keep For Your Next JW Visitor

by pale.emperor in

i've been researching the wt and the un involvement.

when i was still in and i first seen the un letter online, my cognitive dissonance kicked and i told myself it'll be a fake.

an apostate lie.. and seeing as no jw i've spoken to has ever heard of it, and flatly deny any involvement "no, they wouldn't do that", i decided to do a little "personal study" of my own.

Is it clear when the WTBTS submitted their application? If they were accepted in 1992 then their application would have been made in 1991 (or certainly that is what the evidence from the UN suggests) which begs the question as to whether the wording was changed before the 1991 application form was released or during.

Regardless of that though I would expect any changes to the T&C's of membership to have been communicated to any existing or processing NGO. Do we know if these changes were communicated and if so how they were done so? This could make the difference between the WTBTS being hypocrites/liars or simply incompetent.

I wouldn't be surprised at either outcome....

Cancer has been with us for a long time

by Coded Logic in

a 2 million year old hominid has been discovered that had cancer in its foot - making it the oldest neoplasia found in the human lineage.

now, as to why cancer predates original sin by nearly 2 million years, i'd love to hear christian apologists try and explain.. http://sajs.co.za/osteogenic-tumour-australopithecus-sediba-earliest-hominin-evidence-neoplastic-disease/patrick-s-randolph-quinney-scott-williams-maryna-steyn-marc-r-meyer-jacqueline-s-smilg-steven-e.

Does cancer evolve?

Why would something evolve just for the hell of it?

Why do people who have no understanding of a subject behave as though they are more informed that the experts?

I have proof Noah built the Ark just like God told him to

Perry -

Did you read the link that you provided about the University of Leicester and their proof about Noah's ark?

From the article:

"It is a separate matter whether all of the animals would fit inside an ark of these dimensions – the physics students were simply calculating the buoyancy of the ark"

So then, do you really think your ark could support and carry 2.15 million sheep?

Well... im disfellowshipped now.

by pale.emperor in

very long story.

i've been away from this site for a while.. basically, i tried to leave.

handed in my disassociation letter, it kicked up a storm and 2 weeks later i was disfellowshipped.

I am sorry to hear about all that has happened and is still happening to you. I want to ask a question/raise a point though.

I thought that a wife who is married to an apostate/unbeliever/whatever you wish to call yourself, had a duty under the headship arrangement to remain loyal to Jehovah by remaining loyal to you. How do they justify this separation? How can she hope to steer you back onto the "straight and narrow" by demonstrating her Christian kindness? Wasn't there a watchtower about this a little while ago? Or was it a talk...

"I do like to correct wrong chemistry though and twisting of chemistry facts"

How? By repeating what you have already written? By calling people names or accusing them of ulterior motives?

I, at the start of this thread, posted in very simple terms what chemistry is i.e. an explanation of energy exchange between molecules. You answered this by writing that what I wrote was not how chemistry works but left it at that; in other words you corrected nothing,

Perhaps if you were to start behaving in the manner that you like to assert you behave then you would find people are more friendly towards you and those dislikes will reduce in number.

I came here three years ago for support and to make friends

by KateWild in

jw
friends

this site is such a great and valuable resource and simon is to be commended for running it for so long.

when i first came i was in such a bad state and really needed support and friendship.

so many posters commented on my threads and showed genuine care some are real life friends, some are facebook friends, some i talk to on the phone and some are forum friends.. i have just realised though that everyone online is not your friend.

"..So what if someone sees or believes different then why do you have to shove your beliefs down their throats." - rebelfighter

Reality isn't the same as a belief though is it. When someone, like Kate, misrepresents someone's work in an effort to support a belief (just like the WT literature often does...), then responding and pointing out that error isn't shoving a belief down someone's throat.

I'm used to seeing this level of victimhood and projection from new age feminists and other SJW's that seem to be popping up on the internet nowadays; it's a shame to see that it is permeating into this website now. The pigeon on a chess board analogy particularly set off my irony metre...

Finally, forums such as these are open forums and you don't post topics without accepting that some responses will not be favourable. Perhaps this could be a good opportunity for character building for some.

"This does not make sense chemically." - Kate

What doesn't? What have stated that is wrong? I may have used simplistic language and analogies but that doesn't make me wrong!

"I am talking about homochirality in living things in nature and racemic solutions in non living chemicals and other objects. Do you mean that homochirality is expected over racemic mixtures?"

In the biosphere yes of course. Left and right handed molecules are not identical insofar that they do not make use of the same energy resources; they are as far as life is concerned, completely different. You cannot use one set or type of molecules in an environment with specific constraints and then use the results obtained from those observations to conclude anything about other molecules in other environments. In the context of your posts you are saying that scientists set up a system in the lab and looked at how specific chiral molecules behaved. From that you then state that this gives you reason to conclude that chirality that we see in the world indicates a guiding force controlling things in such a way that life uses the left hand variant.... Is that summary wrong?
