  @ cofty: seekchristonly/themaccauk11 - Why are you using 2 accounts simultaneously?

  .

  Because SCO/thegobbleygook11 has so much foolishness to spout one account cannot contain it all...

  IS Science Absolute Truth

  by seekchristonly in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if we have faith in science and scientific claims about the universe, origins of life etc.

  is that absolute truth.

  if so then if they declare that god exists with evidence then do all those who believe in science then believe in god or a creator.

  Scientific knowledge is not a collection of subjective opinions. Rather, it is a collection of explanations about objective reality that is based on observed or predicted phenomena. In addition, the explanation must be verified repeatedly to confirm that it correctly models reality.

  As our technical ability to observe reality improves, we are able to increase the quality and quantity of our observations. Better-observed data challenge our explanations, some of which will no longer fit the observed facts. New theories are then formed and either verified or falsified.

  .

  In contrast, religion denies the evidence in order to keep their "faith" and traditions intact and has no interest in testing the veracity of their beliefs.

  to James Brown: you cited the example of blood-letting in connection with G. Washington's death in order to poke holes in science. Well, guess what? The reason blood-letting is not practiced anymore is because science reevaluated the evidence and moved on as knowledge increased.

  What progress has religion made since Washington's time? Or since religion was invented, for that matter?

  What words has the WT redefined?

  by Splash in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  these days, virtually every public talk speaker thinks it's interesting and intellectual to include a dictionary definition of some word.

  often the word is in common use and needs no explanation, such as 'exercise', or 'knowledge', or whatever.. now contrast that to all of the words that the wt has it's own meaning for, and referencing a dictionary for the common understanding of it would be viewed unfavourably.. words like 'generation' or 'men' (as in jesus is mediator between god and 'men' - 1tim 2:5-6).. what words have the wt redefined that you know about?

  - i'd like to compile a list if possible.. splash.

  "clearly" = not clear at all

  "evidently" = there is absolutely no evidence

  "New Light" = neither new nor light

  "brother" = conditional aquaintance only

  Day said construction will "begin soon" on the site and the project is on track to be completed "by the end of 2016."

  So, it appears Armageddon is at least 18 months away. I feel so much better.

  @ designs: sco- What science classes did you take in school.

  .

  It doesn't matter, because SCO admitted he has no knowledge of science, which means that he didn't even pay attention the minimally required material.

  Apparently, ignorance is bliss, and sitting around thinking up retarded questions he has no interest in getting an answer to is his life's focus.

  its been a long time since i have been this enraged at the evilness and shameless exploitation by the jws.

  i just got back from the meeting (dont ask) and sat through the km article laying out plans to mass convert nursing homes all over the world.

  i am not going to labor the obvious ethical travesty of this plan but i will say that it constitutes a major public health risk.

  What's even more scary is that people like this can, and do, procreate....

  I know this is the wrong site to go on to find people who want to leave their homes or lift a finger over anything but we need to organize

  .

  So the best way to pique our interest is to insult us first?
