imho: all we can know about the unseen is the record left behind, the works, but everyone's vision is unique, like a rainbow, that not really exists, but is a refracting back of sunlight, and everyone's rainbow is different. There are billions of different visions about the works, the universe, and most of it we can not see, it is beyond the horizon, outside our personal time cone. So be content with the travel through time you have, fully. If a creator wanted more for - or from you, he would tell you.

My Explanation of God.
by LAWHFol ini am a theist & this is my version of god.. instead of using the term god, i'll use "unseen presence".. this unseen presence, is perfect in every way.
this presence is so perfect it can seem a bit boring.this perfection can be seen in the laws of science, for example gravity.. it does not sometimes work, depending on the mood of some one in the sky, it always works, perfectly.
gravity does not get angry and decide to stop working, and cause the death of innumerable living beings, it just works, through thick or thin, it is reliable.. what allows this unseen presence to remain perfect, is the fact that it does not act based on emotion, or strategy or regret.. it acts based on law, mathematical law.. this unseen presence is not partial to jews or muslims or jw's it is completely impartial at all times, to everything that exists.

Sexual reproduction as an argument against evolution
by Saintbertholdt inabout a day ago startrekangel mentioned that an idea was put forward by a jw that sexual reproduction was an argument against evolution.
here's startrekangel's quote: "is this some kind of talk being spread around in congregations?
the funny thing is that a while ago someone tried to make the same argument, saying they could disprove evolution because no one can explain how we evolved male and female at the same time.

would favour some gametes to evolve ever smaller sizes at greater numbers, because these can fertilize gametes better. LUHE
Is there not a news items about rats bigger game-tes than elephants ? and Evolution is favored by sexual reproduction, more mix mutation possible 2 possible areas, long term ova and short term sperm, more mix to fill more niches, fun too, and better then cloning, the ultimate incest.
common in small rodents, such as mice and rats, than in larger ... -

LAWHol. That which propelled the Big Bang, and that which proceeds the eventual collapse of the Universe. current understanding is, that this universe is not collapsing but expanding at an accelerating pace due to the additional dark energy in the vacuum, that is the property of the "nothing" which preceded the big bang beginning.
whether a personality is behind the use of energy and directing the formulation of the laws we have here? does it matter? let us enjoy the works we have to use here. and it is not amiss to say "thank you"

"Unseen Presence". that term indicates "inside" the univers(es). how about the deist version: before & outside our present presence. -

We were shown how to google jw-org last night
by StarTrekAngel inso last night i went to the meeting with my family.
had not gone in 2 weeks.
as usual i sat down reading the bible.

the last part of the meeting talked about using audio files from the website in ministry or even at home. Elder who prepared the part dedicated 10 ---" ; STA
dedicated 10 minutes to show how to fumble with the pad he had in his hand. In the audience were a healthy minority of 9-40 year olds that could have shown how it is really done with aplomb and grace. So it was boring for half and hilarious for the other. On second thought, possibly the part was assigned by the uebers to keep this ambitious man down.
A throwback to the phonograph era.

Does this fact in it`s own right , prove the Garden Of Eden story false to be no more than a fable ?
by smiddy inthinking about life in general reflecting on the abundance of life on this planet , it became obvious to me that every living thing , those flying in the heavens ,living on the earth , or existing in the oceans , is all possible for one reason , and one reason only.. every living thing exists at the expense of the death of some other living thing , life and death go hand in hand.. the same is true even in the microscopic world .. every living thing feeds off some other unfortunate living thing.that`s nature at its most basic observation , but true.. what the noachian flood story overlooks is the vast amount of living marine life that existed and flourished and not influenced or affected by what supposedly went on , on land.. 99.9 % of all living creatures if not 100% live by the death of some other living creature and the same would have to be true in the garden of eden if it was to have existed in the first place .. no thing can live if it does not devour some other living thing .
a fact of life .. apologists are welcome to support god , by suggesting miraculous interventions by god that have no scriptual basis.
i guess any nature video of the animal kingdom , marine life in the oceans , or videos of the bird life , as in nature series should make this clear .. smiddy.

In the narrative, The G.O.D .figure is the only carnivore, even bringing 5 extra, additional clean mammals into the ark to be killed later to sate his appetite. functioned fairly well indeed. added:
In the real world, predation has to happen to keep nature in balance. its messy, but you can not just have carrion eaters, individuals just refuse to die if given the choice. how about you and me?

Religion spoils the real truth? What are your thoughts.
by punkofnice ini can see how science is answering our questions.
okay, that's a sweeping statement, but it's the best way my empty head can express it.
i'm not sure if we're evolving as a species...that's another subject i admit to not reading about.

Real truth? These events, in the world in the headlines are driven by young people, the king of Jordan called it the result of a generation gap. Can another dark age come because of this conflict? Curiosity outlawed because of gaming being taken into the streets? perhaps the hope for science to flourish is in more regimented surroundings? many questions in your OP. -

Eden seem to have been pictured as an enclosure, with gates. Is it conceivable that animal carcasses could be degraded by vegetation, mushrooms? Is there even a record of animals in the garden apart from one snake? and it was eating not eggs, rodents but dust? That brings into focus all the meat was perhaps burned, like by Abel on the Altar or just buried before the flies could lay their eggs on ti? decay, turned directly into hey?
Hiring competent writers was not the strong point of the supposed G.O.D.

Too Much Discontent in the Congregation Part 3
by Simon Templar innow, 80-85 years later, we are still here.
if i was to do the counsel with a brother who had this much experience, i would have just thanked him for doing the talk, and marked him good on the point.
this is a good way to get money though.
