  by smiddy in

  1. social
  2. physical

  i haven`t seen much if anything on the rio olympic games on this forum , i can`t believe their is so little interest in such a sporting event that is televised world wide.. i don`t get to watch everything , but events i do like to see when i can are,track and field ,gymnastics ,swimming , diving ,and their are a few other sports i will watch when they are on , especially if an australian is involved.. how about you ?

  whats your favourite sport to watch ?.

  has the "drug" issue affected your view of the games ?

  But I think I should be ok by Thursday

  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.

  k99, i am not really convinced that you're interested in my conclusions.

  The problem is that you cannot assume Evolution either for the very same reason.

  Yes you can. Evolution is the accepted status quo. All advancements are refinements to the theory.

  @Landy then why bring up hypotheses? Evolution is a theory.

  I don't know - you brought hypothesis up. You just called it 'building a theory'.

  The upshot is that yes, there are things science doesn't yet know. Whether we're talking about this particular bee in your bonnet or one of the many other areas of research. There will be things science doesn't fully understand for a long long time yet.

  What you can't do. What is totally outside the realms of scientifc endeavour is attribute anything you don't understand to a God. So yes, scientists can and must close their minds to the existence of a god.

  Whether God exists or not is (and you have alluded to this in that Berkeley snippit but I don't think you grasped its meaning) totally and absolutely irrelevant when it comes to science. Scientific explanation always has to stand on its own two feet and not accept that tinkering from God had any influence on natural phenonenom.

  And so far they're doing a pretty good job.

  Uhhh evolution is a theory my dear. NOT a hypothesis but nice effort.

  She didn't say it was s hypothesis. Interesting debate style you have there.

  Post votes rolled up to topics

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  just an experiment to see if it's useful or not .... the likes and dislikes for posts are now rolled up to the topic so you can see whether a topic is mostly positive or negative (or maybe a battleground?).

  with some 'decay' to the votes built in this might evolve into "most vibrant topics" based on more than just the number or recency of replies (ideally all will factor in).. ps: don't worry if some topic totals are wrong right now - i need to run a job to put some of them right..

  Following up on Rebel's points, the more negative feedback a thread has can be a good indication that there's actually something worth reading/discussing.

  There's no abuse or name calling here on so there's very little reason for anyone to click dislike imo. It's just a lazy way of discussion, but it can indicate controversial ideas/posts which are generally more entertaining than the asinine stuff that everyone likes.

  Well if you don't want anyone else to jump in I suggest you use the phone or PM. Until you do, if I see something I'd like to comment on I'll reply to it if it's all the same to you.

  Thx.

  landy you are making an assumption that prolly has more to do with you than with me - but I am cool with that.

  I wasn't making any assumptions - I was asking you a question. The ? at the end of the sentence should have been a hint for you.

  To the OP, try your hardest to associate with people that aren't witnesses. I know it's easier said than done but find new friends, join a club, take up a hobby that involves meeting others. The madness that the JWs teach will soon seem just that - madness.

  I guarantee that once you start mixing in other circles you'll be able to lie in bed on a Sunday morning and not give JWism another thought.

  @Perry - your delusional ramblings are great - keep them coming :)

  Hadriel in science they don't like to attribute changes to unique events and tend to keep on pursuing explanations that are more systematic. so here you will meet a lot of resistance.

  You say that like it's a bad thing.

  Would you rather replace a systematic, evidence led based process with a 'Ooh, we don't know the answer, therefore God' approach?
