Ballistic,
You're right about relativity (E=Mc2). However both matter and energy are tangable and something tangable from nothing is where the difficulty lies.

How does anyone know matter didn't always exist?
by D wiltshire ina few days ago i was told matter didn't always exist.. i was told this by several persons who spoke with much certainty.. they said matter came from a singularity.. this as you know raises more questions than it answers.. have they any proof that singularities even exist?.
how come people state things as a fact, that they have no solid proof for, and expect others to just beleive them.. and if you don't accept their beleif, you are said, not to be intelligent.. isn't that a case of attacking the straw man?.
instead of the argument?.

Both scenarios seem impossible, yet one of them is indeed fact.
Think about it; something tangable with no beginning. The mind can't comprehend it. Think about the other possibility; something tangable coming into existance from absolutely nothing. Can't comprehend that either.These are puzzles that the human mind is incapable of solving.

Name that TV program
by WildHorses ini was at work tonight and we were joking around and talking about old shows we used to watch while growing up.
i thought it would be fun if we wrote a line from a show and see if we could guess what show it came from.
my name is lenny, and if i ain't got it, there isn't any.

Do JWs still believe the WT version of the 144000?
by nicolaou inthe society have taught for many years that only 144,000 individuals will have embraced true worship from the time when jesus (and presumably john the baptist six months before him) began his ministry in about 30 c.e.
when the great crowd began to be drawn in.. however, even a casual reading of the book of acts shows the phenomenal growth of christianity during the time of the apostles.
in colossians ch1 paul even makes the comment that the good news had at that point been preached to all creation that was under heaven.. in 64 c.e, there were so many christians in rome already that nero felt he could easily blame them for the destructive fire which had swept through the city.

CatholicGuy,
Along these lines, what does the Catholic church teach about the "elect" or "the chosen few"? I've heard these terms used by several different religions all my life but could never connect it to a specific doctrine. Seems the implication is that there is some kind of small group that will rule over the earth.

The GB is viewed as disfellowshipped!
by Kent inconcerning those who renounced their christian faith in his day, the apostle john wrote: they went out from among us, they were not of our sort; for if they had been of our sort, they would have remained with us.
(1 john 2:19) also, a person might renounce his place in the christian congregation by his actions, such as by becoming part of a secular organization the objective of which is contrary to the bible and, hence, is under judgment by jehovah god.
