  When you die, I suspect you wake up crying

  by IronGland in

  this post isn't about the paranormal or whether there is, in fact, life after death.

  rather, it's about the mistaken philosophical conclusions to which atheists sometimes come.

  2. the passage of time is not a process.

  There is another version of death.

  When you die, you are not.

  Time can be looked at as a measurement of change in the relative position of matter. Take for example, the earth streaming from point to point around the sun. At any point there is no time, all bodies down to the atomic level are like a snapshot, constant in relationship to each other. For me to cry again as the same baby I was, all the bodies of space and earth would need to stop being where they are at my death and start being where they were at my birth. All matter that has converted to energy would need to become matter again, some how without a stream of change.

  It is no coincidence that the idea of time travel put forth by Mr. E=M*C^2 involves moving very very fast.

  Do You Look Down On People Because They Don't Agree With You??

  when i read some comments here, it seems that some can be so full of themselves that if they are disagreed with, they will mock, castigate, or be elitist with their condescending opinions.

  very ''jehovah's witnessy".

  It is true that tall people tend to agree with me while height impaired people often disagree, but whenever possible, I remain seated so as not to flaunt my elevated position.

  WHY DOES THE WTBS HOARD CASH

  by Happy Guy :) in

  they must have billions...annual revenue alone was almost a billion last year.

  they must have close to 10 billion in assets and a large chunk of that is cash.

  if the world is going to end any day that cash is useless.

  If the world is going to end any day that cash is useless. Why not help the disadvantaged with it instead?

  The world is not going to end. It is all about the cash and the power.

  tragic.

  remember the neo-con jokes such as "shock and awe" and "precision bombing"?

  how about the rediculous notion that you only need a couple of hundred thousand troops to control an invaded country?

  You know, a Cartoon Network poller called me up and asked all kinds of questions about Hanna-Barbera and "the little shows between the shows." I told her I don't watch because I like more Adult cartoons. So I take FULL credit fot bringing Adult-Swim to the world. Your welcome. by the way i told her "I do not like the little shows" but they still play them, what can you do.

  JWs, ex-JWs and Non-JWs

  i'm going to preface these comments with a disclaimer: in no way am i meaning these observations to be inflamatory, exclusionary, or to devalue anyone.

  i believe everyone has a right to their opinion, and observations, and to share themwithin the terms of the board.

  i also believe that there is learning to be found from a variety of sources.

  I don?t see why someone raised as a jw all their lives but never getting baptized should be excluded by the fact they are not and have never been a JW. Or how the baptism gives them a better understanding. Why do people make it a member?s only club even here?

  Evolution and Man's Intelligence

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was thinking this morning that we some where along the evolutionary trail we as a species developed a superior intelligence to other species.

  where will it eventually lead,,i mean the evolution of our species could take a sharp right or left turn not to mention a complete u-turn.. will we as a species ever keep progressing in our explots of technology or will we start a reversal?

  will we come to a realization of some sort and see all this grasping to learn more and more as a waste of time and start a reversal in that direction of our evolution as far as intelligence goes?

  Hoobures,

  I believe we evolved on the seashore and in the ocean. We have traits like, a film over our eyes, body fat over our muscles, like blubber, oils that coat the skin, partially webbed fingers and toes, sweat out salt, lack of fur, upright posture for standing in deeper water and swimming more streamline we can hold our breath for 3+ minutes. All these things are related to marine animals and not plains animals. No other large primate or any plains animal for that mater have these mutations.

  Genetic drift is finite for example a black couple can never have a white baby but might have a lighter one who could have a lighter one and so on. A smart couple might have a smarter child and a drummer one but the smarter one has a better shot at a healthy long life with more offspring and multiple mates.

  I believe a catastrophic change took place that destroyed the shore front environment we were evolving on and the only survivors of our species were the ones that moved inland in search of a better living and our intelligence is in direct portion to the intelligence of that group.
