Tec: why not try this...how about you start an "ill convince you God is real and atheism and/or evolution because.." Thread? that way we may not cloud this thread with ridicule....just trying to save you some contempt from these guys. Just an idea.

243Giant thread of convince-me-not-to-be-a-theist
by DS211 inif you could teach me one thing to convince me not to believe what would it be?
for instance what has the wt taught about evolution/science or mans existence that is wrong and could possibly change skmeones mind?
and the more important question, why is it a creator couldnt allow for species to evolve?

Adamah said --
Yup, that's right, where the most obvious example is Jesus' forgiveness of the thief who was hanging besides him (i.e. determining whether the sinner will be taking the 'up' or 'down' elevator after death, a flagrant example of an anachronistic metaphor which is as inappropriate as inserting evolution into Genesis One).
forgive me but can youelaborate on this perhaps in laymans terms lol being a recently awakening JW im unfamiliar with some of this...specifically the flagrant anachronistic thingy ma jig. Thanks

Adamah--i also have found it worrysome that some change certain things in genesis to support or attempt to support new things we discover...dinosaurs is still a huge dent in the amount of time we and the earth has been around. for me i have a big issue with the lineage of Jesus and how many generations (not the WT generation) of hmans date back to adam when sciene and archeologic discovery shows different. But then again i am also aware in certain flaws of carbon dating, but dont know near enough yet to make a solid base for either argument. Does that make sense? Im at work so im kinda pressed for time.

Now now kate lets not make hasty decisions just because i stepped away...you forget i am currently still trying to exit my wife from the org, and myself really, and im the only one who works to support her and my two kids. However there is a lot to read from these last few pages of posts, much of which is a lot to take in. Im not as quick as some! ;-)
