I say the evidence points to the fact that life will not develop from inanimate matter. This leads to the conclusion that life began via creation.
Someone the other day wanted a god of the gaps example.
You won't get a better one than the above.

90Evolution Hole #1 - Origin of Life
by shadow indisclaimer: my graduate degree is in business, not science so i'm writing as a layman in this field.
yes, i know that someone is going to say that evolution does not encompass this topic and should be sectioned off under abiogenesis.
i'm not trying to argue semantics here but it seems like a case of avoiding an uncomfortable subject.

Did you KNOW Ray and Cynthia or the legal copyright holder? Only a few maybe had limited contact.
by blondie ini have known all of them over the last 15 years, talked at length with them, and knew what their wishes were, the copyright holder and spouse spent even more time with them socially and helping them set up their arrangements for when ray and cynthia passed.
i don't believe that anyone else on this board or others was a confidant.
there is no need to prove it to anyone but the copyright office which is satisfied with this.

Can we start a sweep on the post number for either the thread being locked or Godwin's to make an appearance? -

Charles Darwin was not an Atheist
by LAWHFol inpersonally i have the same viewpoint of darwin, when he said : " the safest conclusion seems to me to be that the whole subject is beyond the scope of man's intellect".
i'm not trying to convince anyone about the existence or non existence of god.. rather, i encourage everyone to keep seeking.
keep searching for the truth that makes the most sense to them.. darwin is the grand father of evolution, and his findings and life work, did not make of him an atheist.

I'm surprised no one's brought up the religious views of issac newton yet - he was pretty far out there. -

by thedepressedsoul ini was curious, i couldn't find much on it.
if anything, there are a few articles that give advice on how to properly buy a home, mortgage, good location etc... .

That's what its all about. The ability to say "I don't know" and keep searching. That's what leads us to understanding, and away from superstition.
Exactly, but a lot of people use it as a means to introduce the god of the gaps

You have to take his comments in the context of both the time he was active and the deep religious beliefs of his family. The reason that's often stated for him sitting on his work for so long without publishing it was that he didn't want to offend his family and his peers. -

2015 WT CD ROM Trying to Hide the Past
by The Searcher inwhen installing, it asks if you'd like to receive automatic updates via the internet.. in other words, "we will re-write our history without you knowing what was written previously.".
the corporation knows that many will never exchange their cd rom for the puerile online library, so doctoring their previous "truths" is the best solution.. a bit like the creed painted on the barn door in "animal farm.
" .

Or it could be just a way of updating the software that runs the library - but you carry on being overy suspicious and paranoid. -

I was ashamed
by Happeanna ini was once a person who believed in god destroying 7 billion people so a few people could live in paradise.. when the penny finally dropped and i realised what as a jehovah's witnesses i was really praying for , it made me feel sick.
what is attractive about a person that prays for this world to end .
i was ashamed to have been a witness deeply ashamed .

For men and women not to have their brains and innards blown out at war.
Not to be blown into little pieces of unreconizable bloody pulps of flesh..that the dogs eat.
For tiny little children not to be physically and mentally abused and beaten.
For little children not to be ripped when being sexually brutalized...and tortured to death
you were praying for the child trafficking from Africa in small children being stolen for human sacrifices in Englamd and other lands ....where they keep the child alive and screaming for as long as possible as it makes the demons happy and they receive more power. Wake up to yourself! The bulk of the world is in agony ....no witness that I have ever known wants the death of anybody.....your talking stupiditySo kill them all to solve the problem? Seems logical.
