Matthew Powner- Advanced research on the Origin of life. How credible is he?

by KateWild in

i have come to the conclusion that science cannot prove or disprove the existence of god.

however the scientific evidence available is compelling enough for me to believe that a creator is responsible for life on earth.. i have read much about powner and understand the work he is doing.

i am interested in your views as to his credibility.

KateWild

do your homework first. I have done mine and will quote impeccable sources if you really are too lazy to do your own research-phizzy

Well goodmorning to you too Phizzy.

That's bait if ever there was some. I have read a lot of scientific material. If you're going to quote the famous fundie micro-biologist Dawkins, then do so. I have already explained why I don't find him credible. Besides I am not sure that he actually uses science to prove God doesn't exist anyway. But if not give me some quotes that science proves God does not exist.

What is proof and evidence to one person, it not to another.

Why probably and why evidence? Connect the dots from premise to conclusion...-Viv

I am not entirely sure I understand exactly what you mean? Is it possible that my conclusions are evidence for me alone, instead of proof for others?

I must be one of those with a strong predisposition to believe in a Creator.-snowbird

I am not sure of this theory, but believers are found in all walks of life. No matter how much they investigate the still hold to their beliefs. Einstien is a good example. Although he did not believe in the God of the bible he adamantly said he was not an Atheist. So he did reach some conclusions that were not exactly in line with all of Judaism. He also went to a Catholic school and did not agree with those teachings. He still clung to the fact he was a religious man.

Einstiens beliefs are somewhat ambiguous though, I have read a lot about him and come to the conclusion he is telling us to mind our own business.

Its bucket chemistry as Saoi demonstrated.-cofty

Specifically how did he demonstrate this? The term "bucket chemistry" is not used in peer reviewed papers mister. But I will play. Kate xx

You might as well say that rainbows prove god.- cofty

hahaha I was offline and didn't take the bait. Light refraction is very interesting but it's physics not chemistry, and I know less about that. But what I do know I find remarkable and leads me to conclude that likely there is a creator. Kate xx

I can't find any of Powner's work. That's why I am a little doubting of his credibility. If anyone can produce a link it would be great. Kate xx

I don't see it as particularly strong evidence of god-OneEyedJoe

This is the point I think of this thread, that some will view it as strong evidence and others will not. Personally I think we either born religiously inclined or not, but many are reliogious and then become non-believers, and some that were not brought up religious developed a religious inclination.

I hope you like the links

How did you teach your kids TTATT? How old were they?

by KateWild in

when i first started going on "other" jw websites my head was spinning so i didn't say anything to my kids about what i had read.

steve hassan's material helped a lot it was when i read that, that i realised i need to free my kids.. i got a lot of advice from jwn too.. my daughter had moved cities and went to the hall we used to visit frequently.

things changed when she became a member instead of just a visitor.

KateWild

I thought I was helping them to not be judgmental, but in reality I was not respecting their feelings, shutting them down and stunting their growth.-KM

Really great point, well done for changing your mind good move

"ma, that kind of sounds like he saying to brainwash your child, don't it?" I looked at him as if I was thinking about the answer, and could think of a rebuttal...I smiled and we both started laughing.-KM

Ahhh that's priceless, how old is he? PM me if you need to keep it confidential.
