  Evolution is Crap, there I said it!

  by Crazyguy in

  2. friends

  ok i started another thread and every one jumped on me because i was trying to take the theory of evolution out of the mix and most here seem to believe in it so i will just say it.

  the theory of major evolution is crap!

  the theory is falling apart.

  Sorry jgnat,

  Darwin knew the Cambrian explosion was the undoing of his theory. But he punted downstream hoping fossils somewhere would fix his problem. Finally, the 21 st century found the total truth.

  This is reminiscent of Steady State theory being put to rest by Relativity’s Big Bang creation of the universe.

  if you want to read the definitive explanation on fossils and how life arrived its covered in darwins doubt, by s.c. meyer.

  this is a game changer.

  DARWIN’S DOUBT

  THE EXPLOSIVE ORIGIN OF ANIMAL LIFE AND

  THE CASE FOR INTELLIGENT DESIGN

  • STEPHEN C. MEYER

  BLURBS

  
  

  Dr. Meyer makes it clear that these well-documented facts of paleontology pose a serious challenge to Darwin’s theory, the view that has held sway in biology (and well beyond) for nearly 150 years. The issue on the table is not now, nor has it ever been, the fact of evolution (change over time); the issue has always been the mechanism of evolution – is it blind and undirected or is it under the control of an intelligence that had a goal in mind? That’s the nub of the question, and in Darwin’s Doubt, Stephen Meyer has masterfully laid out one of the most compelling lines of evidence for the latter. -William S. Harris
  PhD, Professor, Sanford School of Medicine, University of South Dakota

  
  

  Stephen Meyer’s new book Darwin’s Doubt represents an opportunity for bridge-building, rather than dismissive polarization — bridges across cultural divides in great need of professional, respectful dialog — and bridges to span evolutionary gaps. -Dr. George Church
  Professor of Genetics, Harvard Medical School, and author of Regenesis

  Darwin’s Doubt is an intriguing exploration of one of the most remarkable periods in the evolutionary history of life—the rapid efflorescence of complex body plans written in the fossils of the Burgess Shale . . . No matter what convictions one holds about evolution, Darwinism, or intelligent design, Darwin’s Doubt is a book that should be read, engaged, and discussed. -Dr. Scott Turner
  Professor of Biology, State University of New York, author of The Tinkerer’s Accomplice: How Design Emerges from Life Itself

  Stephen Meyer elegantly explains why the sudden appearance of animal forms in the Cambrian period gave Darwin pause. He also demonstrates, based on cutting-edge molecular biology, why explaining the origin of animals is now not just a problem of missing fossils, but an even greater engineering problem at the molecular level. With mathematical precision, he shows why the neo-Darwinian mechanism cannot produce the genetic information and novel proteins—or systems for regulating their expression—that are required to build new animals.

  An excellent book and a must read for anyone who wants to gain understanding of the very real—though often unreported—scientific challenges facing neo-Darwinism. -Dr. Russell Carlson
  Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Director of the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center, University of Georgia

  Darwin’s Doubt is by far the most up-to-date, accurate, and comprehensive review of the evidence from all relevant scientific fields that I have encountered in more than forty years of studying the Cambrian explosion. An engaging investigation of the origin of animal life and a compelling case for intelligent design. Dr. Wolf-Ekkehard Lönnig
  Senior Scientist Emeritus (Biologist) at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research, Cologne, Germany

  
  

  It is hard for us paleontologists, steeped as we are in a tradition of Darwinian analysis, to admit that neo-Darwinian explanations for the Cambrian explosion have failed miserably. New data acquired in recent years, instead of solving Darwin’s dilemma, have rather made it worse. Meyer describes the dimensions of the problem with clarity and precision. His book is a game changer for the study of evolution and points us in the right direction as we seek a new theory for the origin of animals.
  -Dr. Mark McMenamin
  Paleontologist at Mt. Holyoke College and author of The Emergence of Animals

  Darwin’s Doubt is another excellent book by Stephen Meyer. I particularly like his refutation of the concept of self-assembly of biological systems. The book explains the difference between specified complexity and order and shows that natural forces cannot generate the kind of complexity we see in living systems. I know from my personal work in the Systems Centre at Bristol University that complex systems do not create themselves but require an intelligent designer. Stephen Meyer has clearly listened to the arguments of those who are sceptical about intelligent design and has addressed them thoroughly. It is really important that Darwinists read this book carefully and give a response. -Professor Stuart Burgess
  Professor of Design and Nature, Head of Mechanical Engineering at Bristol University

  I spend my life reading science books. I’ve ready many hundreds of them over the years, and in my judgment Darwin’s Doubt is the best science book ever written. It is a magnificent work, a true masterpiece that will be read for hundreds of years.

  -George Gilder
  Writer, techno-utopian economist, and New York Times bestselling author

  Meyer writes beautifully. He marshals complex information as well as any writer I’ve read . . . This book—and his body of work—challenges scientism with real science and excites in me the hope that the origins-of-life debate will soon be largely free of the ideology that has long colored it . . . a wonderful, most compelling read. -Dean Koontz

  Another example of evolution before our very eyes!

  by cantleave in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i read an interesting article in the awake in the scientist on-line magazine and i thought i would summarise it for the lovely people on jwn.

  this is a great example of what survival of the fittest really is and it provides evidence of evolution that can be observed in our own lifetimes.. creationists will say this is micro evolution and not macro evolution (or as an evolutionary biologist refer to it speciation).

  they will argue that that these are two different concepts, but the reality is that it is an accumulation of these small changes occurring in different populations that will eventually create a divergence resulting in a new species.. charles brown of the university of tulsa has been studying the social behaviour of cliff swallows for the past 31 years (good job armageddon didnt strike in 1975).

  The dispute, life is a DESIGN not a product of willy-nilly chance, is about to be settled. Of course theophobic folks will fight it.

  That's fine, worthwhile change always has its reactionary detractors.

  But they will adjust and learn to enjoy reality. There is a dark side, though, it will always push back against the disinfectant of light (proven facts) which turns the world toward good.

  Prime examples of this in modern times are the WT GB leadership and the religious Atheon (God hater) crowd. Theoretical diametrically opposed to each other, yet both work toward for the same "evil" end.

  Fascinating!

  Interesting Genetic Research Published on Dog Evolution

  some interesting work has been published this month in nature and reported in various blogs and journals.

  it is work that gives more evidence to support the fact of evolution.

  a team of swedish scientists led by evolutionary geneticist erik axelsson from uppsala university have identified genetic changes that could have been responsible for the transformation of wild wolves, into the ancestors of our beloved pet dogs.

  Infinity and god - why wait to create the universe?

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  here's the problem with infinity ... we can't comprehend it.. it's bad enough when it's space, but when it's time as well and then we throw in some all powerful creature supposedly existing forever ... well, it just doesn't make sense and raises questions.. such as why wait?

  why didn't god create the universe the day before he did?

  or the day before that?

  Yes, since blackholes exist, and the quantum and relativity worlds do too. Then, a sense of the framing of reality is obvious and proceeding correctly.

  We simply don't have robust mathematics YET to explain it.

  Monstrous infinity fits this circumatance. It tells us something outside of the physics, time and space is the answer to how all this began.

  A subtle way to say there is a GOD GOD GOD , and it's a very BIG DEAL!

  Please clear up a confusion I have Do Christians believe that the AntiChrist will be Satan the Devil in human form?

  by booker-t in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for years i have been told different scenarios from different christian groups about who the antichrist will be.

  some born agains have told me that the antichrist will be satan the devil stripped of all his powers and trapped in a human body on earth.

  he will still have the same attitude and try to get people to worship him instead of jehovah and jesus.

  Antichrist" tag belongs to the “lawless one, mystery son of destruction” hypocrites, Christian sects clashing with the Father and Son, uncovered as fraudulent usurpers Christian of authority. 2Th 2:3-8; Ac 20:29-30 These folks are like the Pharisees Jesus reprimanded, "travel sea and land to make one proselyte…becoming one you make him more than double a son of Gehenna than you are." Mt 23:15

  Likewise antichrist parishioners receive "a powerful delusion so they…believe the lie and…not the truth…delighting in wicked" false doctrines. 2Th 2:9-12

  YLT 1Jn 2:22 "This… is the antichrist who is denying the Father and the Son."

  CLV 1Jn 4:3 " antichrist… is now already in the world."

  AV 2Jn 1:7 "For many deceivers… entered…the world… deceiver and an antichrist ."

  This crowd wears Christian garb (has the look), but presents an alternate Christianity. They use the right words with a spin, a distorted understanding of the Father and Son; a deceptive illusion of Christianity.

  A full blown sophisticated iterations of this antichrist crowd began in the 4 th century. JWs join this crowd under Rutherford.

  Cedars,

  I hope you are done with the JW activist hate campaign. They will collapse of their own self-inflicted demise.

  Political-style activism is unnecessary.
