first thing comes to mind is that this organization through its leaders are not witnessing the true and honest version of the gospel teachings of jesus christ .. they are subjectively teaching/preaching a tainted version made up by the top controlling men of the organization, which i'm sure is connected to the proliferation and distribution of literature which these men publish themselves.

.

when jesus said that no one knows of the time not even he, he didn't say a select few will know .. the other thing that bothers me is this organization promotes human ignorance on many levels, admonishing education or knowledge that mankind needs for its very survival... there are many other religious organizations that do this as well but the jws is just one of these organizations.

the universe came into being 13.8 billion years ago in the big bang.

after an initial flash, it went through a period known as the cosmic dark ages.

according to a new study, probing cosmic dawn, 250 to 350 million years after the big bang the first stars emerged bringing light to the cosmos.

Really enjoy watching Brian Cox adventure's in space and time,

How the universe works ,

He has a way of explaining physics in a way people can understand , the advancements they have made in the past few decades has only opened up new aspects of physics ,wish now I hadn't wasted all those years believing a god had created the universe when I now consider the wonders of the universe and why humans have a desire to learn more about the universe and it's origin.

God vs ET`s ,why is one more probable than the other ?

billions of people around the world beleive in a god of some sort or other who exerts some power or influence to some degree or other in lifes affairs .. i don`t think there would be anywhere near that figure that would entertain the possability of extra terrestial life elsewhere in the universe.. and i find that curious .. the ancients didn`t know that their were other humans on other continents on this planet until they ventured out and found them .. we live somewhere in the milky way galaxy with millions of suns and planets that orbit them.. our galaxy is only one of trillions if not zillions of galaxys in the known universe.. look at the diversity of life on just this one planet earth ,what possabilitys could exist elsewhere ?

on alien worastronomers can use the hubble space telescope to view galaxies near the edge of the observable universe (the region of space from which light has had a chance to reach us within the last 13.77 billion years).

by examining a very tiny portion of the sky, counting up the number of visible galaxies in the universe in that specific region, and then multiplying that number to account for all the regions of the sky, astronomers estimate the number of galaxies in the universe.

Watched Human universe with brain Cox this morning (bbc2 UK)

"The gods are later than creation" a Hindu saying.

Why are we here ,laws of physics and how we basically won the lottery on earth with all these law's being in the right place at the right time and the right amount.

And that's there's no reason why the odds that numerous galaxy's in the universe have planets are as luckily as we are here on earth for life to evolve.
