  Ok, assuming your boat claim to be true, where is the water that could have elevated such a vessel to the summit of Ararat?

  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.

  in nature amino acids formed to then form dna.

  KateWild-" Is this group run by chemists or other people who don’t have scientific credentials?"

  Does this mean that you are not prepared to consider an alternative opinion from anyone who is not a qualified chemist?

  If so, there is little point to this 'debate'.

  p.e-" Also, i had to laugh out loud at this one - i lift my daughter up and she gives me a big hug and kiss, and elder comes up and starts talking TO HER while im right there holding her looking at him."

  That is unbelievable. Being sweet to the daughter while demonstratively shunning the father.

  What a disgraceful way to try to put a wedge between d'fed dad his own child.

  Hope you make friends for yourself soon.

  Viv-"I say you're not me"

  It just goes to show that it never pays to lie.

  Viv-" but you're doing an excellent job and I endorse your efforts in this train wreck. In the end, your efforts should be seen as an ongoing attempt to help other people."

  Thank you Viv. You're too kind.

  Viv-" I've moved on from this forum, I occasionally check in..."

  Me too, many moons ago. I got sucked back because I also 'occasionally checked in'. I should have known better. Hope you can resist where I failed.

  Very commendable that you've managed to move on though. Well done.

  Viv-" Here are a few threads you can just re-link to anytime you see arguments such as those you're seeing on this thread. It will save you a ton of time."

  Thank you. I shall enjoy perusing through them later.

  Viv-"Good luck."

  Thanks. You too.

  Perry-"I remember as a teenager that the height of Mt. Everest was 29028. That's a lot of movement in just a few years."

  Not as much as you think. Everest is 29,029 ft.

  Perry-" Why should we assume that the rate of ascension is the same now as it was immediately after a catastrophic event?"

  Because the flood never happened.

  jw don't believe in evolution .

  how come animals teeth are designed to chew meat?

  sharks for instance have razor sharp pointy teeth these are not to eat vegetation .

  Carl-" Lions teeth sharp and pointy for chewing meat ."

  Pandas have some of the biggest teeth of the bear family and they mostly eat bamboo.

  xjwsrock-" well some alligators have jaws that can exert 3000 lbs of pressure. That ain't for crushing sweet potatoes."

  How else was Adam going to open a coconut?

  smiddy-" Every living thing on this planet lives off the life of some other living thing .And it always has."

  Doesn't this prove that life had to have had a creator?

  Wizzstick-" How would it distinguish between a sleeping animal and a dead animal?"

  Its keen electrical sensors in its nose would detect if there was any electrical impulses going on in the carcass. If there was nothing electrical going on then it was meal time.

  Diogenesister-" There are fossils with undigested animal parts inside the stomach. Not to mention fossilized predators with the teeth and claws of meet eaters. Fossils take millions of years to form, therefore we know predation has been taking place for millions of years."

  What is to say they didn't just eat dead dinosaurs?

  I miss being a JW with all the answers...

  good afternoon,.

  i am writing to give you a quick update about our ongoing statutory inquiries into safeguarding and charities linked to jehovah’s witnesses.. as you may know, one of our inquiries is into watch tower bible and tract society of britain.

  we opened this inquiry in 2014. watch tower then initiated what turned out to be protracted litigation against us.

  EdenOne-" I really am in favor of promoting education. Let education effect people and the inevitable consequence is that in the vast majority of cases, they will conclude for themselves that religious beliefs are ridiculous and will abandon them."

  As much as I agree, there is then the problem of "Faith Schools" tainting objective education. Dawkins is very outspoken againt them.

  LUHE-"woah, hang on. Dawkins has never advocated murder or violence against believers."

  I don't think Kate was making such a claim. I believe the point she was making was that some athiests have used Dawkin's statments as an excuse for their hatred against Muslims.

  If the sea level rose then so would the atmosphere. Gas settles at the point of equalization of its potential difference.

  But I believe it would take up to 5 times the volume of water currently on earth to perch the ark on the summit of Ararat?

  As for building the boat... they could have hired the Nephilim....??

  Stands to reason considering an elder once told me that Stonehenge was built by the Nephilim who carried the colossal stones hundreds of miles across Wales and England...

  ...although thinking about it, I was also told once that god made the huge dinosaurs to flatten down the mountains...??
