Devolution, not evolution

by abiather in

scientists discovered an organism that has not evolved in more than 2 billion years (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/02/150203104131.htm) .

one can dismiss this as an exception*!

yet overwhelming proofs are too obvious to miss if we take the community as an individual (community is the reflection of the behavior pattern of the individuals that make up the whole).

My point is that there never never evolution of beings

You started out well....but then derped the derpiest derp I've ever seen derped.

...i has always been a Good Start by God, then deterioration brought out by humans...
Sanskrit word Chumbak Mani (literally translated as the ‘jewel that attracts’) is equivalent to what the modern term SEMICONDUCTOR-MAGNET implie...
... is reported to have synthesized Chumbak Mani by calcining and melting 14 exotic ingredients including buffalo horn and mercury at 1,200° C!

You're demonstrating some interesting congnitive dissonance, both complaining about science, but using science to show how science is not that great.

It actually helps to prove evolution is true.

Christian bakery ordered to pay $150 000 to gay couple

by cofty in

an oregon bakery that refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex marriage has lost its appeal..... the judge has ordered 'sweet cakes by melissa' to pay $150 000 damages to rachel and laurel bowman-cryer.. discrimination is illegal, and religious superstition is not an excuse.

how long before jws land in court under similar circumstances?.

It's a modified version of a quote from The Princess Bride, "You're trying to kidnap what I've rightfully stolen"

And yes, there was a recent court case where the KKK won a lawsuit against a bakery that wouldn't bake them a cake because it offended the owner's religious beliefs. Google it. That is a specious (that means the argument/statement sounds reasonable but is actually woo (yes, I stole Viviane’s word – deal with it) with a bow on it) argument.

First, that's not my word. You've taken what I rightfully stole;)

Secondly, wow, I had not realized the KKK won that lawsuit. On the one hand, that amazes me. On the other hand, it was won in Georgia, where non-discriminatory Jesus always loses to KKK Jesus, so I am not THAT surprised.

Can the world condition be worse than this?

by abiather in

the innocent civilians being attacked is the norm of the day.

attacking hospitals too are happening frequently.

now schools being attacked is becoming a regular affair (last of its kind massacred 150 children in peshawar on december 16, 2014)..

Wording on alcohol is just a reproduction of what Traffic Police has put up on many High Ways!

So? Seat belt laws and car design have, over the years, dramatically lowered the death rate from driving. I just proved the world is getting better.

Also, since you included no sources with your numbers, I'm afraid they are dismissed and don't count. World is getting better, you just gave us proof!

Viviane being a democrat is a choice, do I get to refuse to bake cakes for them?

Yes. Political affiliation is not a protected class.

How about atheists?

No. Religion (and lack thereof) IS a protected class.

Future events are guaranteed on the basis of the established pattern of the past.

Name one specific prophecy with a date, exactly what would happen and who would be involved that came true.

) Everyone knows a friendly neighbour is better security than costly war-preparedness, yet no one wants to try this, but continue with the past wasteful method.

I neither lock my house nor my car. You've been proven wrong (not that it will stop you from spreading ignorant woo, it never has).

2) It's everyone's experience that alcohol has no benefits except harm to the self and others, yet use of alcohol thrives!

That's not my experience either. Wrong again.

Why do you keep making stuff up? Are you a brilliant troll or just utterly committed to woo so reality holds no meaning for you?

JeffT: Being a KKK member is a choice. Being gay or black or a woman is not.

If abiather is determined to swim in the sewer, are we at all surprised he thinks the whole world is poop?

When a Witness claim the uniqueness of Bible and its accurate prophecies!

by abiather in

with the bulletin of atomic scientists moving its iconic doomsday clock up 2 minutes on 23.01.2015 (which means we are just three minutes closer to midnight in comparison to 17 minutes to midnight in 1991), and rapturewatch.net/timelines.htm predicting the end of the world as early as 2017, subject of last days is getting heated up again..

next time you have a witness boasts about the uniqueness of biblical propheciesespecially about last days, you can point the following photographic description of our times found in srimad bhagavatam, one of the ancient scriptures written even before the bible:.

1) religion, truthfulness, cleanliness, tolerance, mercy, duration of life, physical strength and memory will all diminish day by day because of the powerful influence of the age of kali (age of unrigteousness).12.2.1.

Entropy requires no proof--the very fact that we left JWs itself is the proof. Many of us left them because we experienced them becoming worse than other religions

Again, you're mixing things that are unrelated. Everything requires proof when claimed and can be dismissed without it.

You've offered nothing except attempting to change your subject when you are unable to demonstrate your point and now claiming "no need for proof". You are no better than those who try to tell you how to live your life because God talks to them.
