Know your roots.
If biological evolution is your god, then Ernst Haeckel is one of your racist founding fathers. The hominid tree as we know it taught today in schools entwines much of its root system from this guy's work:
https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1890/0012-9623-94.3.222
The biological evolutionary model is neither scientific nor flattering. Those who uphold it dishonor themselves, their fellow humans, and their maker.
Variation within a species accounts for the differences in skeletal compositions between humans. The fragmentary fossilized remains of animals miscategorized as "ancient hominids" are in actuality non-humans, not some mutating evolutionary link.
Haeckel saw what he wanted to see. He didn't have evidence to back up his theories. He twisted the evidence to fit his theory. It's the same thing the GB do with the scriptures. Evolutionary "scientists" today build on the false foundations of the evolutionary "scientists" of the past, in the same way that the GB builds on the false foundation of CT Russell.
All belief systems built on cracked foundations will fall in time.

I read what you write. You care, that's why you're here.

MeanMrMustard, I will not declare a victory until your heart wakes up.

"If an alien showed up in ugly skin with a creepy face and told you about the secrets of the universe, would you believe them? What if that "alien" was another imperfect human?"
You've never seen me face-to-face, but I exist. You know I exist because I type things on a keyboard tablet somewhere away from where you are and it shows up on your screen. Why can't you believe Jehovah from somewhere higher had somebody write something down on a tablet too? Who do you think invented mitochondria? Don't you think the one who made mitochondria has enough energy to send a message via a book? If you can believe some aliens somewhere could beam somebody down from a space ship, don't you think a higher life form could beam somebody down to Mary's womb? Why is that so difficult for you to believe?
In the movies the aliens say "I come in peace" or something like that.
Here is the "alien" (aka, foreign to you) message I come with (but it's actually the same message you heard from the beginning): "I am a witness of Jehovah. He's real. God is Love. He's reaching out to you. Quit rejecting Him."
(Looks like the alien avatar I'm wearing has purple skin, two red claws, a horn and four legs. Kinda ugly, lol!๐)
am visiting all these places from next week!
am staying for three weeks.. if you fancy catching up it would be great to see you.. paul.
Will you be on the East Coast at all? Hope you enjoy your visit out West๐

You're pretty confident for someone who doesn't have a clue.
You believe what Nick Lane says about "aliens" but if someone with a belief system that is "alien" to you shows up, your prejudice blinds you to even considering what they share.
The energy that motivates me is hidden from you because you have preconceived notions and you choose to stay in the dark. There is an entire universe right in front of you but you choose to ignore it.
The higher "alien" life and "source of energy" that Nick Lane talks about is someone you already know by name, Cofty. His name is Jehovah. You already know Him. You already know about the angels. You know more than Nick Lane, but you just tossed it away because it's not in a "science" package.
If someone came to you and interspersed a bunch of fancy science vocab and wore a white lab coat and acted all super-smarty-pants you would believe them, but you won't believe someone who is low.
If an alien showed up in ugly skin with a creepy face and told you about the secrets of the universe, would you believe them? What if that "alien" was another imperfect human?
You're so funny. It doesn't matter who Jehovah sends, you won't listen.
ya' know....as i listen to the great music of my youth from the 60s & 70s ... i've reached the inescapable conclusion that the "food at the proper time" came from simon & garfunkel, the grateful dead, jimi hendrix, led zeppelin, pete seeger, bob dylan, hot tuna, steve winwood and hundreds of other incredible musical philosophers!!!
i can honestly say that my life has been enriched.. i am barreling toward 70 years on this planet and i still get goose bumps listening to the music & lyrics that perfectly capture life's eternal truths.
at that time in my life i had "one foot in the world" spent a lot of time listening to that classic music with "worldly" friends who were there for me when i finally walked out of the fog of dubdom in the late 1990's.
"...Simon & Garfunkel, the Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Hot Tuna, Steve Winwood and hundreds of other incredible musical philosophers!!! I can honestly say that my life has been enriched.

๐So many "worldly" musicians understand aspects of truth better than the so-called "FD$". I'm grateful too for the way so many musicians have been willing to reflect light and truth from their hearts through music.

"A good man brings good out of the good treasure of his heart...out of the heartโs abundance his mouth speaks."
I love the treasures expressed in this song...

"By the way I'm still waiting to hear the title of even one single book that presents the evidence for evolution that you have actually read."
There isn't one book ever written that presents evidence for evolution. They're all full of crap.
There are JWs who have read dozens of books about the false 1914 doctrine and can quote them and preach them. There are JWs who have read more magazine articles on the so-called "FD$" and can "splane" it all day long. They're wrong and so are you.
I'm not going to debate fake stuff. I'm not fancy and I don't use high-sounding language to try to be a science Pharisee with what amounts to the equivalent of longer fringe or more fake pious-sounding hypocritical public prayers. I've been there and done that.
You want to embarrass yourself by doing the Splane thing, carry on with your charts and pointer stick. You have a crowd of followers. Enjoy your pit before it gets filled in.
