in your earlier post you seemed to be under the impression that genesis and science were somehow compatible .
however, the truth is the two are not reconcilable at all.
There is no definition of complexity that would even suggest...
Physical complexity. Not informational complexity. The whole reason I brought up CPUs (which Caedes then changed to the subject of hard drives for some reason) was as an analogy to the human brain. Neither a computer or a brain is more complex physically when processing information than when it is not.

That Mormon guy looks totally insane in both the "before" and "after" pictures. His eyes are following me as I scroll down the page.

Caedes: I mourn for your reading comprehension. I'm done repeating myself.
i realise that starting this thread may make me as popular as a ginger stepchild but was there any wts publication that you liked, or at least comfortably tolerated?.
my memory may be deceiving me but i think the greatest man book was pretty good, leaving out the gruesome detail of the crucifixtion and wts doctrine.. also, can anyone tell me the list of books that ray franz authored/co-authored?.
thanks.
I enjoyed the Greatest Man book and the Revelation book. Hey, I was a kid when it came out, cut me some slack. I liked the vivid paintings and I liked the way they included each verse in boldface in the paragraph that discussed it. It was an appealing layout.

No offense, but this is sad, and makes me shake my head sadly.
interesting admission in today's wt: adam may have understood "day" (as in "in the day you eat from it, you will positively die") to be a literal 24-hour period.
i don't think the wt has ever said this before; the usual emphasis is that jah meant it as a figurative day, a day from his standpoint which is 1,000 years (and the article does state that, later).. however, if adam understood god's warning to be carried out in a 24 hour period, and god did nothing to alleviate that, then who did the lying?
actually, regardless of adam's understanding, the question still stands but moving toward an admission of the use of day in that context to be 24-hours only makes the question even more valid.
Well, I haven't heard it for myself, but Band on the Run had reported in the past that she heard Franz give a talk where he explained that the time of the end (1975, or thereabouts) might be delayed by Eve's menstrual cycle or something. I'm not really sure what that has to do with the start of the seventh day, which was supposed to have started after God performed his last act of creation, making Eve.

I also suggested on the last page that there might be more options we can't conceive of yet: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/287553/2/Creationist-Should-Dismiss-Genesis-Quickly#5137293
in my science class book i was just reading about particles and antiparticles.. i'll just quote a few parts, "every type of particle in nature must also have an alter ego, an antiparticle........one fascinating property of particle-antiparticles pairs is that if you bring such a pair together, the two particles will annihilate each other......when the pair annihilates, the mass of the two particles is converted into energy which is carried away by a pair of photons.....the reverse is also possible, two photons may collide to produce a particle and it's antiparticle-by a process called pair production.. so assuming spirit creatures are made of energy, there is a scientific explanation of how energy can become physical mass, and physical mass to energy.
whether you believe they exist or not, i thought that was an interesting read and a way to explain how they could materialize and de-materialize.. .
Guys, just wait until EoM gets in another couple chapters and discovers dark matter and dark energy.
I agree that it looks as if some posters are not even trying. As a language lover, it's too painful for me to read some people's posts here. Sometimes it's not spelling that's the issue, but a lack of paragraphs, or rampant Capitalization of random Words for No Reason. I just skate right on by those posts.
Lately I am also noticing people getting waylaid by their autocorrect feature, which is apparently making wrong guesses when fixing their typos. Please, just read your post over before hitting Submit?
lurkernomore: The problem pointed out earlier was writing "babtize" with two 'b's.
