Another thread reminded me of some of the things I used to think about growing up. Here are some of the things I used to think about back when I was a doubting JW...
Why would an omnipotent all-powerful God need a seventh day of rest? And if he was everlasting to everlasting, don't you think he was already bored with resting and that's why he started creating in the first place?
Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons and fingerprints? Where would they keep their lint? (LOL - Okay, that's a joke I threw in.) If they had no fingerprints, how did they grip the forbidden fruit or pick anything up?
Why did God give Adam nipples?
When the flood came and froze all of those mastodons in Siberia and fossilized dinosaurs, why didn't Noah's neighbors get frozen? How come archaeologists haven't ever found frozen or fossilized Nephilim?
If plants were created before the insects and birds (flying creatures of the heavens) how did they pollinate on their own for 7000 years? Why don't plants still do that? Did Jehovah mow the lawns for 7000 years?
Did Jehovah speed up the process to create petrified wood so it would look millions of years old instead of several thousand years? If so, why?
Did the Nile River turn into blood at the border to Egypt, or was it all they way back to Victoria Falls? If the latter, why were countries to the south made to pay for Pharaoh's obstinace? Did the Nile River turn back into water at the Mediterranean Sea?
Why didn't Joshua get really bad sunburn when the sun stood still? Wouldn't the other side of the world have frozen? Why weren't there weather related disasters recorded for years to come?
If Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible, how did the ending of Deuteronomy get written? Was it just a lucky guess about how things would turn out?
Why did God invent parasites like mosquitoes, tapeworms, and fleas? If he is resting from creation, where do all these new viruses come from?
I may have covered some of these before, but you can see why I was inactive for so long before I DA myself.
