  Infinity and god - why wait to create the universe?

  by Simon in

  here's the problem with infinity ... we can't comprehend it.. it's bad enough when it's space, but when it's time as well and then we throw in some all powerful creature supposedly existing forever ... well, it just doesn't make sense and raises questions.. such as why wait?

  why didn't god create the universe the day before he did?

  or the day before that?

  I have spent time pondering things like that Simon, but without quantifiable reference points anything is possible. Sort of like string theory if you know what I mean.

  I think Simon's use of the word day is used figuratively to mean time period. Perhaps it would please you more villagegirl if he had said 9,192,631,770 x 60x60x24 cycles of cesium

  OK so if the Bible is crap??

  by Crazyguy in

  ok so if the bible is nothing more then a pagan religious book, then how do all of you that think this, think we got here?

  and please don't tell me you believe in evolution, because even the experts are finding major flaws in that theory.

  so what is your opinion??

  Even being born into and raised a JW I found it difficult to believe in creationism once I learned how to read. I tried over the younger years of my life to postulate thought experiments that would lend credance to creationism and discount evolution. After being cloaked in the comfortable lies of the WTS I wanted so much to believe in intelligent design that I went through the motions and got baptised to please my parents. I just could'nt discount the logic of Darwin's explanation in the end, even if it meant that me and everyone I know will die.

  The Hebrew scriptures do hold some sage advice though. The evolution of the old Mosaic Law preserved people before much was known about modern science. I am sure that over time many of those ancient people that did not practice it did not fair as well as the jewish people did and the human brain always seeking purpose and meaning attributed the law as being from god. The fact is the survivorability of the mosaic law is in effect a testament to the survival of the fittest principal. I have no way of knowing how many civilizations or ancient tribes died out succumbing to natural hazards.

  I just want a divorce!

  hi there, this is my first post, but i've been buzzing around this site for years.. i got married at 18, hubby was 20, i was a regular pioneer and we were talking about serving in bethel.

  fast forward - i left in 2004 after a 5 year battle with my conscience, family and friends who kept insisting that i was just "weak and needed to have another bible study".

  however hubby and i stayed together although it was kinda on the understanding that we would just not talk about it.

  Born free my heart goes out to you. Do you have a non JW freind that you can talk to? Why will he not talk to you? Are you "on reproof" or something or is it just personal between the two of you? What part of the world do you live in?

  Born free you were a regular pioneer I think you should know what is and is not a JW thing without having to ask. Its nice that you posted here and welcome. As for legal advice I will defer that to others.

  ok i started another thread and every one jumped on me because i was trying to take the theory of evolution out of the mix and most here seem to believe in it so i will just say it.

  the theory of major evolution is crap!

  the theory is falling apart.
