  What evolution is NOT, Installment 1: "How coud it all happen by chance?"

  as a supplement to my series on simple evidences for evolution, i thought i would also write occasional articles addressing common misunderstandings regarding evolution.

  in this one, we'll address that common stumbling block, "but how could something so complex have come about by chance?

  the probability is just too small.".

  Last Two anointed JW's on life support at Bethel !

  i posted this last week on the e-watchman website .

  they didn't laugh much.. i looked on the internet and found that in 1935 you had 52,000 partakers, last year you had 8570..according to the wt, 1935 was the cutoff date for new anointed, after 1935 all are replacements.

  lets assume that in 1935 the average age for an anointed was 35 yrs, probably older, but this is convenient.

  Does anyone think the 8570 number is false? are they all replacements? just wondering.....

  Hi Seattleniceguy, thanks for your swift reply. I know my question was difficult, I happen to have a friend who almost has his master-degree in biology. We talked alot about evolution and also the origins of life. What i remember from talking to him is that "they" now think that the diffrent organels within a cell have originated seperately and then got to work together in symbiosis to form the first cell, after which the evolution began. What are your thoughts on this?

  Very good explaining, seattleniceguy. Did you write this yourself? Well, since you seem to have some good understanding on the subject I'm going to ask you the million-dollar question which should be very difficult to answer: How did life originate in the first place?

  Nobody has ever had an encounter with Satan, nor with God. Anyway I haven't seen solid proof on it and I'm sure I never will.

  news today, president of kyrgyz (stan) resigns and flees.

  first, ukraine, now kyrgy (stan), are we seeing a sweeping of democracy and change across eastern europe?.

  is democracy itself the "beast" of revelations (and not the united nations)?

  errr oroborus, I haven't been smoking "Jamaican Gold" as you call it and I don't believe in either God or the Devil. I'm well aware of the

  mythical roles given by the bible to god and devil as opposites, good and bad. But that's all what they are to me, mythical personifications

  of good and bad. Morality in my view is a creation of mankind itself and it should be cherished as such, a collective heritage that still grows

  and changes over time.
