Evolution and Atheism - please help
by Fernando in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
not being familiar with either, my question is:.

what is the relationship between evolution and atheism?.

i'd love to hear from anyone and everyone, and also from any perspective.. without limiting the conversation in any way, i would of course also appreciate comments that are simple, clear, direct and correct (as i don't have the capacity to do a phd in evolution or atheism)..

The Rebel: "The world is full of science books that contradict past science, yet they all attempted to explain the world around us and like the bible we're considerd truth at the time of writing"
Science writers update books as more information becomes available. Somethings are changed as we get closer to the truth. Thats what science is about, and peer reviews along with experiments ensure the truth is eventually learned.
The bible, well, that just contradicts itself many many times over with no peer reviews and no chance to put anything right. It is what it is. Absolute rubbish.

Read it Fishyman. They`ve been trying to get out of this commission for ages. Using all LEGAL MEANS possible!!! You know nothing about your own religion.

Sorry Landy, my apologies. I dont get on this forum very often. Being involved with the blood issue with my own daughters can make one very emotive sometimes.
I cant even begin to think why a person would sacrifice a blood relative. To let them die on purpose. On a misunderstood ancient word of some gnarley goat breeder.

That may be as well now Landy, but here we're talking about the bloodguilt from past deaths. It drips a LOT!
Can you honestly say you agree with the blood ban / fractions? Were those little lives worth the sacrifice to men Landy?
Honest heartfelt answer please!

Or, use the graphs that have been done on here to show the no-growth thats happening all over the world....

Sorry Punk, not had chance at yours yet. I'm sure peeps would contribute their stories. Hey, it almost writes itself! And make it look as close as possible to a currant dub yearbook!

An ex-dub "Yearbook" with lots of experiences about how they freed themselves! We could have a new one every 'service year', with a count of how many have escaped......
Just a thought

which ever country you come from, if you are a football fan you know of the f.a cup.

because the f.a cup is the oldest and most prestigious cup competition in the world.

or at least that's the way it was when i was a kid.. now this wonderful competition has been cheapened to a non event.

Landy : "Darlington (for instance) playing Man Utd at old Trafford would financially secure Darlington FC for five years."
Yes Landy, and some more. We should have sent Mr Reynolds packing before he raped the club....
