Unstop, yes he talked about how rabbits evolved into leoprds. Why do you think the hairpin theory is not plausable, factual and logical?
Dawkins convinced me it was.
Thanks Kate xx
if 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?
Qcmbr,
You have been a member 5/6 years longer than Tammy and Cofty. Less time than they have actually been posting for. You have posted much less, and made less of an impact on serious decisions I am making at the moment.
The stark contrasting points Cofty and Tammy put across, are very appealing to intelligent JWs who are having doubts.
What am influenced by is how much they care about me as an individual, and what they say on my personal threads as I express my thoughts and feelings.
You are mistaken about what influences me, please read some of my OP's to get a clearer picture
The OP wants convincing by an atheist. DS is not going to join Tammy's religion, because it's only a website. DS has doubts and wants to explore them.

watching the fertilization of an ovum and subsequent cell division it appears that the new being is making itself.
parents were involved, unskilled labor, time, energy.
no thing has ever been observed to make itself, to my knowledge.
To quote Einstein "science without religion is lame"

Infinity is an abstract concept. I am making a higher order abstraction. When I say God evolved over billions of years before he created the universe. We get to a point when we know all we can know about the facts and then we make higher order abstractions. It is not filling in the gaps at all it is more like adding up the facts we have and seeing which is more proabable.
WMF, I asked you to explain why in your own words you think my explaination is not valid. Please explain.

Origin of the universe is complicated - Randy
That is exactly why many of us still believe in God. Because each time we question, why or how? The answers just become increasingly complex.
Knowing that we have unanswered questions, can help us enqire more, or be satisfied with our belief system based on the fact we don't have all the facts.
What do you think Randy? Is my point clear?

So BEFoRE the universe was created by God, you think God evolved from the matter that made up the universe he hadnt yet created?-WMF
Ooops didn't see this post. You are putting words into my mouth, this is all circular reasoning. No I don't think that.
This is what I think............
I actually think God evolved gradually over billions of years before he was evolved enough to create the universe and everything in it. Kate xx
It's not the same. Not from matter that made up the universe at all. From speculatable matter that is different in nature to the matter that made up the universe. Abiogeneisis is unconfirmed speculation, the formation of racemic and homochiral streo isomers is unknown. There is no proof either way. I sit on the side of God because it's more logical to me.

WMF, thats a copout unless you wrote the article. I asked for your opinion. My opinions are valid. If you disagree explain why.
Come on have a conversation with me Love Kate xx
