  Debating With Evolution Deniers is Just Like This

  arguing with those who reject scientific evidence can be like arguing about football; just as angry and passionate, but the goalposts keep moving, and one team doesn't exist.. read more here....

  Comfy said "Rattigan if you are aware of even one single shred of scientific evidence for creationism please share it."

  I don't know what creationism is. But Creation supports science. Male and female is from creation and evolution can not produce different sexes. Evolution is a product of random mutation. Sex parts that fit together and can not work without the other is not mutation, it is design.
  

  "By the way how are you defining "God"?""

  God should be better than human designers because he has more power. Humans make computers, cars and other products year after year that are better than the previous. We learn and don't just make and leave it.

  The same one that controlled the Nazis and the US, the people.

  The people had the power to tell Hitler to suck an egg, but they chose not to.

  The people have the power to tell Obama to take Obamacare and shove it, but they choose not to, but they choose to follow it.

  The people have the power to tell the GB to shove it, but they don't want to, they want to follow them.

  The original post makes no sense.

  "who reject scientific evidence". What does that mean?

  Scientific evidence supports creation. The problem is that after creation God neglected his creation and allowed creation to be flawed and he didn't fix it or do upgrades.

  a woman whom i knew as a teenager stayed over at another witness family's home.

  the brother who was the father was caught peeking at her while she was taking a shower.

  she told the elders, a jc was held, the brother was repentant and had loss of privileges for a year.

  "This year I've bought and read Frankenstein (Mary Shelly), Dracula (Bram Stoker), The Hound of the Baskervilles (A. Conan Doyle), 'Salem's Lot (Stephen King), Jurassic Park (Michael Crichton) and The Firm (John Grisham)."

  I recently obtained several classic novels and a book rack from a moving sale. I set up the book rack and books. My wife saw that one of the books is Stoker's Dracula and she got upset and said that she is uncomfortable with it because he drinks blood. It just makes me mad that she let's the cult influence her. Things like this have made our marriage fail.

  Onthewayout - They may be for smaller government, but they are not going to change what currently exists.

  And remember the goal is anti Hillary and Anti Trump.

  I like Libertarian party because they believe in social liberalism and fiscal conservatism.

  They give the most freedom.
  

  The Republicans are social conservative and fiscal conservative. they give the least freedom.

  The democrats are for social liberal and fiscal liberalism. Also less freedom.

  It is not about race, but about power. Cops just want the power over people.

  What other occupation can one shoot or kill an unarmed person and then get paid administrative leave, have a grand jury determine whether there will be charges. A normal person would be arrested and charged right away.

  What we see are cops acting in fear. They need to take a step back and reassess the situation. It is not necessary to cuff and bring the person in. They need to learn to let it go. But it is the mentality that their job performance is being judged so they need to ticket, cite, or arrest someone.

  i have been a jw all my life, while i also have a "spiritual divorce", which means i can remarry a jw again.

  i am not sure if i want to go that route again and dating in the jw world feels like a struggle sometimes.

  with all the rules.

  There is no such thing as a dating site. They are introduction services.

  If I were single I would use match.com. you can see pictures and learn some things before contacting.

  As said above, dating a JW is a mistake. you have to live by follow the rules and then your marriage is so divided.

  That is the reason to have one.
