  Calling Cofty and others regarding evolution

  by dubstepped in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.

  i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.

  i heard it recommended on an atheist podcast that i listened to.

  my 2c: the problem is ppl who believe in darwinism fail to acknowledge darwinism is many things -- some are proven beyond all reasonable doubt, other things are very speculative. so saying it is all proven to be true is really overstating the evidence, and similarly when a creationist say it is all doubtful he too is overstating the evidence. IMO thats why so much of the discussion is not useful.

  it is like climate science: nobody doubt the earth has warmed in this century somewhat.. but global warming believers then goes on to say it is known humans are behind this and the trend will just continue unless we do all kinds of crazy things. this is really overstating the evidence a lot.

  cofty: ok you are right I updated my post...

  anyway creationists quote behe all the time so it isn't right when you say they quote someone with a degree in philosophy in general.

  u don't have to strawman to win the argument.

  that passage ring all kinds of warning bells. watch out for the clarification that "girls" somehow mean "old woman" and "serious issues" mean "normal marriage problems".

  I'd say an 11 on the Roy Moore scale lol!

  Christian "NO GO" zones in US

  i can't believe this is taking place in our country!

  all across america there are areas where people are trying to enforce christian law!

  outsiders are strictly forbidden from entering and they have private security and guards to keep people out.

  @faithnomore: nobody outside the alarmist liberal press is saying the internet will cost more.

  if you stop crying wolf everytime Trump does ANYTHING people will take you more serious.

  @faithnomore: This is 100% like Brexit. before the vote: if you vote for Brexit, the sky will literally fall.

  after the vote: the sky will literally fall "soon"

  now: the sky will fall invisibly, but there may also be other effects, such as improvements, or nothing at all.

  That companies like google and facebook support "net neutrality" while they are anything but shows what a farce it is. you don't seriously believe they have your best interest in mind???

  Does anyone remember how Brexit was the end of Britain, and that all the experts predicted the British economy would tank and everyone would be hunting feral cats within a week or so?

  Same with net neutrality. When we get rid of these undemocratic bodies determining our laws it is always for the better.
