Cofty: my point wasn't that you would have been hateful, it's that people, like I was previously, would have.

Again, videos like this aren't hateful on their own, but they feed the hateful and bigoted mentality many JWs already have. Perhaps it's a US thing, but many of my JW peers growing up (including myself, I'm ashamed to say) were very vile towards homosexuals in their everyday talk.

A video like this that comes from their ultimate authority, the governing body, gives them justification to perpetuate that vile hatred and indoctrinate their children with it.

Cofty: it's carefully crafted so that people will go: "welllll, that wasn't really hateful." However, material like this feeds hatemongers. When I was in the org, I would have seen this and said, "hahahha! I bet the stupid f-gs are gonna be pissed now!" Videos like this justify hatred and bigotry.

Evolution: The Deal Breaker

by Hadriel in

first off i do believe there are some evidences of evolution or i should probably say adaptation.

i do believe this exists in various forms.. however the deal breaker for me with evolution is the chick or egg problem.

there are tons of theories that get passed around as proof of evolution however these are usually examples much further down the evolutionary chain.. what i mean is let's start at the beginning!

Jehalapeno

Your deal breaker and evolution are two separate things.

Go ahead and believe in a divine or intelligent guide at the moment of abiogenesis. There's no evidence or science to base those beliefs on. However science knows little about that moment.

Ones belief in what the initial spark may have been has no bearing on the fact that all life genetically descended from one common ancestor.

So you see, your deal breaker isn't with evolution. Your deal breaker is with something science hasn't established as theory yet.

The thing is, Hadriel, you labeled the original topic "Evolution..." yet all you want to talk about is abiogenesis...separate issues.

Guys, I understand that there is some evidence that Gravity is a thing, however, there remains one problem for me: where did gravity come from? What is the driver for Gravity? I don't know, scientists haven't given the answer I desire, so I am not so sure Gravity really is a thing.

I'd rather have unanswered questions than unquestionable answers.

It's unrealistic to expect all your existential questions to be answered at this moment in the stream of time. Which is why it's unreasonable to say "magic happened."

It's far more reasonable to admit, "I don't know," and be okay with not knowing.
