  Name an Amazing or Unexpected Fact

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i saw this on twitter the other day and it blew my mind.. tyrannosaurus is closer to us than to stegosaurus.

  that is, when tyrannosaurus lived, stegosaurus were already fossilized and those fossils were older than tyrannosaurus fossils are today to us, by a good 20 million years!.

  in a similar vein, the star wars prequel movies are now older than the original star wars movies were when those prequels were released.. how about that we're closer in time to cleopatra than she was to the pyramids being built.. what 'ya got?.

  Here's a fact that blows my mind: Jupiter has no hard surface.

  We're so used to standing on hard ground on our planet, seeing the sky (atmosphere) above us and seeing the sea (hydrosphere).

  But Jupiter is a gas giant - it has no hard distinctions between land, air and sea. There are outer layers of gas, and as you go beneath the surface, thousands of miles down into the planet, the gas gradually becomes compressed or becomes liquid (don't think astronomers are sure).

  So, humans can't stand on Jupiter (if our technology allows us to reach the planet).

  Complexity, Evolutionists Biggest Problem

  recently, some scientists modeled one of the simplest known cells - that of a bacteria.

  it took an army of 128 computers running for 10 hours to process the data required in the 25 categories of molecules that are involved in this "simple cells'" life processes.

  think about that for a moment - 128 computers running for 10 hours just to compute the data, not actually do it mind you; but just to model the known processes in one of the simplest known cells, which is many orders of magnitude simpler than a human cell.

  @Disullusioned JW - I don't know what your point is.

  One gene makes a lot of difference for humans and chimps or gorillas. Well, so what?

  Humans and chimps diverged at least 8 million years ago, although chimps are our closest living relatives.

  The chimp genome is approx. 98% identical compared to ours.

  The only sensible conclusion is this: humans and chimps share a fairly recent (in geologic terms) common ancestor.

  Edit: just realised you're not actually dismissing evolution, lol.

  If Jesus really was a first century Jewish carpenter, I doubt he would have had a dog.

  The Jews of the time considered dogs unclean, didn't they?

  Here is an example of the type of dogs which live in Israel and Arab countries …

  
  

  ^^^ Beautiful, isn't he?

  The d2d work was abandoned long before the pandemic.

  Perhaps because the WTS is a registered charity and knocking on people's doors endangers WT charity status?

  Follow the money ...

  Although I don't think Paul McCartney's musical output after the Beatles is very impressive, I do like this song …

  It's just a good little pop song.

  Would the world be a better place without religion?

  by pistolpete in

  2. beliefs

  i know what you’re gonna say---------everyone has a right to believe whatever they want.. but the question above is not about everyone’s right to believe whatever.. the question is very specific------will the world be a better place----without religion.

  think for a while what the world would be like without any religion.. no conflicts between islam and christianity.. no conflicts between different sects of christianity.

  (example; jehovah’s witnesses vs catholics).

  It's difficult to say.

  But I think the world would be better off without Islam, WTS, LDS and other cult-like religions. That's what Islam basically is: one giant cult.

  by minimus in

  since covid, our lives have all been affected.

  do you think people will ever get back to normal, pre-covid?

  are masks, vaccinations and social distancing the “new normal “?.

  The fact that front line health workers, and many more that are seen as more lowly, are in fact the most important people in Society, and should be payed accordingly - front line health staff have had a 1% pay rise at a time when other public sector staff have had a pay freeze, and many private sector staff have lost their jobs. Let's put it in perspective, please.

  Minor things, like, working from Home is possible for so many, the daily commute unnecessary - this isn't minor. Many small and big businesses are reliant on the daily commute.

  How Capitalism in a largely unregulated form does not work for anyone but the 1% - it's thanks to capitalist profit that the UK has ordered so many vaccine doses, with half of all adults now protected from the disease.

  Capitalism is saving lives in the UK, whereas EU ideology is leading to many unnecessary deaths on the continent.

  By all means criticise capitalism's faults, but let's praise the good stuff capitalism does for everyone.
