  Evolution is a Fact #10 - Non-Coding DNA

  by cofty in

  every cell in your body contains a big book of how to build another you.. although it's approximately 3 billion letters long only a small fraction of it contains instructions on making humans.. imagine trying to use a workshop manual but it reads like somebody messed up at the publishers.

  there are a few paragraphs of meaningful text followed by pages of gibberish, another page or so of useful instructions then 9 more of random words.

  some of it looks like copies of original text but full of typing errors.

  One of the things that always gets me about evolution is that of perpetuation. Now I appreciate it is slow and deliberate over many years however how does evolution explain the lack of perpetuating change in humans. Why the sudden stop? Why aren't humans still evolving?

  With the ruins found at Gobekli Tepe some 12,000 years ago, other than how we procure food, we are much the same. Industrious, religious and human. I get this isn't a vast amount of time in the grand scheme not my point here.

  The point I'm making is we don't really see any signs of the perpetuation of evolution in humans. We are still humans with largely the same races even. Ethiopians/Africans date back millions. Still indigenous to the same area.

  So where's the change? Where's the perpetuation of evolution in evidence in our day.

  Too bad I can't be around in a few thousand years to see humans grow densely thick skin and extra eyelids to combat the deterioration of the Earth's atmosphere that's letting harmful rays in.

  It's only a matter of time before you see paid ads on Youtube, Mobile apps, Twitter, Facebook etc. With the school being 86'd lack of skilled witnessing it's only a matter of time before you see an all digital campaign of sorts. The cart witnessing is largely a flop. Just not a good way to reach anyone in 2015. Not to mention for it to work you need aggressive sales types for it which they don't have.

  Be on the look out for only more of a digital presence in the future.

  ...again for what its worth I've seen a different side of them. To Mike's point btw they don't do videos to help others come out or be exposed to TTATT.

  Their focus is more toward those that are already out. In other words just keep exposing all the little things that they don't tell you.

  I get that Mike is crazy at times but I don't think he's a bad guy. In fact he's been done wrong by this org. He's reacting however he reacts.

  Whether he's right or not I've officially exited the judging business. To each his own.

  Obviously this guy is a nut job, clearly off his meds.

  That said you're not supposed to put your hands on these guys. Curious to me how once out of main view they took him down to the ground. You're not supposed to do that.

  That all said this sort of approach is utterly worthless.

  Particularly when the section you choose is the DEAF section LOL

  Office Jargon, drives me nuts

  by punkofnice in

  1. social
  2. humour

  'granular' seems to be the latest buzz word going around my office.

  previously it was 'appetite'.. abstract words that appear to be designed to make the person saying it appear powerful and part of the 'team'.. as lord sugar has observed before; why not just speak english and say what you mean.. office jargon really annoys me.

  i had enough loaded language and jargon in the disgusting jw cult..

  One of my favs "let's table this". As in we can't come to a decision or there isn't enough information so we'll "table" it for a future time.

  Although I concur with @Heaven as to the order of creation I just as vehemently believe it is as much out of sorts to think a single cell organism (Universal Ancestor) is our beginning by happenstance.

  That said there are many perplexing things in both. As far as the bible the flood alone is a field day for any evolutionist. If you think rationally there's serious concerns in this story. How were animals that are strictly indigenous to an area able to make it to the ark and then back. Just doesn't make sense. How in a short period of time was it possible for all these kingdoms of earth and the building of the tower of babel to have existed after only 8 people left the ark?

  We could go on and on. As to the other side of the coin, the complexity in life is quite significant. If evolution is true, if this happenstance is accurate why can't we solve the complexity of life and disease?

  If we can calculate the proteins involved in DNA and much more why is it not possible to cure disease and for that matter create life itself?

  If you're honest there are questions on all sides that are terribly difficult to answer.

  Just so you guys know these terms are all generated from the tech world. You guys are just now hearing about them is all. Been in the game for a while actually.

  Ping - email me when you're back.

  Granular - Used when describing a class, query etc gives greater control over something.

  Leverage - Utilizing one tool to extend another. (hate this one with a passion)

  Monetize - How to take an application and now start making money with it.

  Prosumer - The consumer that's more or elite than the next guy.

  Push - Dual meaning. Could be uploading changes of your work or to move an appointment to another time.

  Convergence - Converging things together to make a viable product or service.

  Hard Stop - Have to break off our meeting at this time no exceptions.

  Scalable - This product will scale nicely at any size from startup to public offering.

  Future Proof - Something that will still be viable and good in the future.

  Touch Points - Times where you've discussed the project.

  Touches - Usually used to suggest we haven't had enough touch points or conversation.

  ...there are plenty more but just a few to further make your nervous tick go haywire.

  It won't be long and the only magazines will be digital. They'll always print books although even that is a waste of money for non third world countries. Imagine the bulk of the printing will be for those third world countries moving forward.

  How do I handle this situation?

  hey everyone.

  i'm sorry that this isn't a very thought provoking post but i could really use some advice on how to handle this.

  there isn't anyone else in my life i can ask right now because, being dfed, all of my friends are "worldly" and don't know how witnesses function.

  @BarelyThere you should absolutely report it. It is your account. You could approach it that it is difficult to return to Jah with this sort of harmful gossip and slander and that you would appreciate him creating a new account or changing the email address. (you can only do this once or twice on FB so if you have done it before he may have to get a new account). Stress that it is really hurtful and makes it difficult to build your faith when leaders in the congregation are engaging in such things.

  I would suggest you quit looking at it regardless. Like in Pitch Perfect it's like the piece of burrito on "fat Amy''s" neck it will only fuel your hate fire...lol (gotta make light of it)
