I conclude evolution is guided

by KateWild in

your qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.

k99, i am not really convinced that you're interested in my conclusions.

Life is, in essence, energy exchange. At the molecular level energy is exchanged chemically and this energy always falls down the easiest path. Chemical energy can be of differing values and molecules favour certain chemical energy values. Molecules that are chiral do not like the same chemical energy values or to put it another way chemical energy of certain values will favour a specific handedness. That one version of a chiral molecule is favoured over another is to be expected rather than unexpected. - whatshallicallmyself

This does not make sense chemically. I am talking about homochirality in living things in nature and racemic solutions in non living chemicals and other objects. Do you mean that homochirality is expected over racemic mixtures?

I don't expect either. I see the evidence of both, if that's what you're referring to.

KateWild. If you don't think opinions should be challenged then maybe a discussion forum just isn't for you, you're probably looking for a church where you can voice your viewpoint with the confidence that all those around you will nod and mutter "yeah, me too!!" - Simon

Lol yes very funny. I don't think I would enjoy everyone agreeing with me. I do think that it's okay to challenge people's opinions, I like a challenge. If people don't think I have explained my position that's okay too.

K99,

The problem with people who want to prove a point online is that they like to hide behind anonymity and don't care about the people their talking to.

When you first enquired I knew you weren't genuine, the place to discuss conclusions is somewhere that suits everyone. Cantleave and I talk on the phone about this we have different conclusions and remain friends.

Your problem is that you're not genuine about your interest. Perhaps you think you are but you're not.

There is an agenda from both of you. You are both trying to prove I can't explain my position. But I have and neither of you will accept it.

I have been here for over three years and I know the difference between genuine interest and proving a point.

If you sincerely want to converse more about my conclusions then ring me. I will pm you both with my number.

I expect neither of you will as you're both out to try and prove me wrong not show a genuine interest.

Notsure and K99,

You have both got an agenda. You are both biased with views of your own. You both don't believe in a creator. That's fine.

The problem with both of you is that you both think you are right and your agenda is to prove that on this thread.

I have explained my conclusion in the OP. I am satisfied that I have. Carry on telling me that I haven't if you like it's your perogative. But it's getting repetitve and neither of you seem to be able to accept this.

K99,

I disagree with you. I have explained my conclusion. But if you feel I haven't that's your opinion.

I keep saying you're not interested because you're questions are the same and repetitive. You're not asking anything new. If you are interested in enatiomers then learn about them.

You're just going round in circles because you have got something to prove and I haven't.

All I ask is what makes you "conclude" that evolution is guided...its ok if you don't want to respond...I was just interested in how you arrived at that conclusion...or arrived as to why it is more probable...no big deal...I can see we won't get answer from you on this so happy to leave it. - Notsure

I have explained my conclusions in my OP. You are clearly not interested at how I arrived at my conclusion. The evidence is that you linked on the thread bias science. Science does not prove or disprove God and neither dies my OP, but that's what your link is trying to do.

Kids continue to leave in droves - so what is the organization's grand plan? This

by sir82 in

friends

jws have one of the worst, if not the worst, retention rates among their kids.

i've seen numbers from 65% to 88% who leave, never to return.. you'd think this would be a priority amongst the leadership, right?

where do tomorrow's leaders come from, if the vast majority of kids leave the organization?

KateWild

Yep they are leaving, my daughter's friend told her he is recently "mentally out but physically in" in his words. He won't be there long.

He saw clips of the ARC on youtube and been surfing everything since then.

Personally, I could care less if someone attributes evolution to a higher power's influence, as long as they accept the fact that it's obviously true and realize that the Genesis creation narrative simply isn't literal history (which, IMO, is the only real obstacle to accepting evolution, anyway). - Vidiot

I agree, the Genesis account is a false teaching if people actually believe it, and I also agree that it's the only obstacle to accepting evolution. As far as the UK schools teach evolution not the Genesis account, so no real obstacles there.

You used a very specific example yet all you have explained is that you think the process could be being guided by God. - K99

I did not state this anywhere on this thread. If you think I did please show me.

The fact that I keep asking for more information is proof I am very interested in understanding your perspective. - K99

It can also be proof that you're trying to prove me wrong, and I don't play those games.

An avowed atheist might say "I have drawn the conclusion that natural selection is a valid and reasonable explanation for all the molecules being left handed because the hypothesis is not disproved by the facts and follows the pattern of scientific explanation for many, many other and similar bio-chemical processes." - K99

Is this what you're saying K99?

I have drawn the conclusion that evolution is guided and is a valid and reasonable explanation for all the molecules being left handed because the hypothesis is not disproved by the facts.

Nothing has been proved or disproved. If you have proof by all means start a thread and share your proof.

I still don't understand how you made yours up and I really, really, really am really, really, really interested to do so. - K99

There are things I don't understand too, it's all a matter of getting yourself better educated in the topic if it's so important to you, but I don't believe you're interested at all.
