it is time for christians to accept evolution, in my opinion.. there are many reasons why i think it is long overdue for all christians to finally accept what science says about evolution.
below i will show these reasons.. .
the bible tells people to pay attention to nature to see the glory of god (psalm 19; romans 1:19-20).
There are some things we know for a certainty. These things will always be true.
Evolution is one of these things.
I hope some day to meet and discuss all this stuff in person. Until then I'm your friend, (if you would have me) even though we are at different ends of a spectrum.

"Reality" is what we understand it to be today is it not? What I mean is, "reality" changes when our perceptions of reality change. So in truth, what we call "reality" today may be disproved tomorrow. Science itself has proven this true.

Cofty, do you believe "reality", as it is known to man, remains the same throughout time?
As for bashing it no longer matters to me so go right ahead! :)

Cofty: Sorry Frank but reality cares not a whit about your opinion.
Cofty, you know what I regret? I regret not coming to know you personally. You have a bald honesty mixed with a kindness about you. I do regret not knowing you personally.
Perhaps some day. ;)
"Reality" is what we want to make of it. "Reality" is here today and gone tomorrow.

Fusion Theism: It is time for Christians to accept evolution, in my opinion.
I do not believe evolution is the driving force responsible for all the beauty, majesty and genetic order around us.
That is my opinion and am stating it for the record, without debate.

there is a huge logical problem for the newer jw doctrines and beliefs:.
watchtower, august 1, 2010, page 22:.
so although jehovah does not promise that every individual will receive exactly the same opportunity, he does make sure that an opportunity is held out to all honesthearted ones.
Br. Splane's alice in wonderland world does not require that he make sense. He is not interested in truth so much as in keeping his place in the Organization. Something Jaracz thought was paramount. This is the only real desire of the GB because they are not 100% sure they are of the anointed.

this topic was inspired by one of fhn's comments on the 'warzone' thread, so i'll just restate my post there .
.. "i've been wondering for a while now if ridicule really is an unacceptable feature in debate - it certainly isn't a valid form of argumentation.
the thing is, some individuals really do come out with the most laughable nonsense and parade it as a serious proposition that merits attention.
And most here are not using ridicule as a weapon of intolerance either.
richard dawkins has said frequently if we don't agree with religious or spiritual people we need to "insult them!
" tell their their out of their "fucking gourds!
" and make sure you really show them how stupid they are for believing in something they can't prove!".

Nicolaou: Watchtower uses the printed word to indoctrinate, coerce and flat out lie. Therefore, to avoid being like the Watchtower, we shouldn't write or read stuff.
This would be true if we were trying to "indoctrinate, coerce and flat out lie" but I assume most here are not.

Oubliette: As I quoted before, “Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength.” ― Edmund Burke
And when that rudeness is within the thought mainstream it is tolerated even applauded. People are people.
