this week my son expressed he is agnostic as he is not sure what to believe about evolution and the common ancestor.. i thought any jw hang ups were gone.
i told him that what they teach in school is trustworthy and he can be rest assured that there is evidence to support that the common ancestor was the real link to the evolution of humans.. he has got critical thinking skills.
and responded with "for hundreds of years schools have been teaching things and have changed their thoughts".
DD, you make a very good point. Thanks for your post. I really appreciate it. Having a good relationship with my son and having happy memories is my priority.
WMF, I don't know what you're definition of trolling is. But I think it people lying and and deliberately upsetting others. That is not me.

Lol Angus.... I have to admit some of the science in "The Greatest Show on Earth" was accurate and easy to comprehend.
But Dawkins is very condescending to believers and I don't want my son to be condescending to people.
I am thinking about it. Okay??

He thought that was a good question. I then asked him if the ark settled in the Middle East how did the kangaroos get to Australia and the the penguins to the North Pole?
He said these were good questions. I then said evolution teaches that environment has a lot to do with how species evolve.
Perhaps that's enough for this week. I really did want to find something that supports what he is being taught in school that isn't bias. But it's no big deal really.

i created this thread so that jwr members can list their old jwr username with their username for whatever site they've moved to.
i apologize if this has already been created somewhere else.. jwr = starrynight.
jwd = starrynight9.
This site is widely known as JWN not JWD. I think that was an old name since before I was a member.

because i simply decided the watchtower corporation wasn't the truth(tm) i was da'd in a secret jc that i didn't attend.
i was writing songs with a friend that day instead.. jws wasted no time in labelling me as an evil villain.
the rumours abounded.. i was labelled as 'a false prophet'.
Wow such rumours. They are still talking about you punky. Shows you were well known and respected in my opinion.
I wonder if there are any rumours about me. I doubt it. I could generate them if I went to a meeting in my circuit. But I have some paint that I need to watch dry.

I did also ask him about the alternative to evolution. I asked him if you believe that God created all the species that exist today, do you believe they all fitted in the ark which was smaller than the Titanic?
He thought that was a good question. I then asked him if the ark settled in the Middle East how did the kangaroos get to Australia and the the penguins to the North Pole?

Yes thanks we have read that website and he feels that he doesn't know whether or not to believe it.
There are three types of micro biologists, the scientists, religious nuts and the atheists.
Atheists and religious nuts want to look for confirmation bias, scientists evaluate the scientific results and draw scientific conclusions based on the evidence and don't try to confirm whether or not God exists.
Thank you all for your support

Well either I have forgotten or didn't learn it. Even though I have the definition I still don't understand the relationship.
This is not school level biology.
This is going off topic too. My abilities are what they are. And as such I want to teach my son evolution is a fact at a level we both understand.

Cofty, I don't understand the series, because I am not interested in biology. It's not a linear subject like chemistry.
You haven't written the series at a lamans level. There are too many phrases that are non comprehensive to the laman at my level of high school biology.
I understand that you have put a lot of effort into writing the series and its commendable. But it's not going to hold the attention of a teenager or someone who only has high school biology qualifications.
Thank you for your responses. I appreciate you want to help and be supportive thanks very much
