Evo/Creation? Great Video
by Gladring ini have no intention of starting a long rambling evolution debate thread.. here is a link for a great video of an interview with father george cloyne (catholic priest and physicist) by richard dawkins.
the video was shot for a recent tv program about darwin on channel 4 in the uk.
it is great to see the respect each scientist has for each other and to hear how much they agree upon.

question on atheism vs. god
by bonnzo ini am, for now a witness on the outside, and still believe in god most of the time.
i have read dawkins "the god delusion", found it pretty interesting and helped me understand why athiests believe the way they do.
but i always have questions.....one that really bothers me about deism is the thought that god has always existed and always will, had no beginning and no end.

Blood Quotes in Jan 2009 Awake
by Gladring inthe awake jan 2009 has a quote in it's watching the world.
"for almost 9000 patients who had heart surgery in the [united kingdom] between 1996 and 2003, receiving a red cell transfusion was associated with three times the risk of dying in the following year and an almost sixfold risk of dying within 30 days of surgery compared with not receiving one.
" - new scientist, britain.. for starters, this quote is not exactly straight from new scientist.

Dec 15th & Jan 15 Watchtowers - change of thought?
by dozy injust been having a flick through the dec 15 & jan 15 jw only watchtowers.
(and no - i dont know how to pdf them or anything else!).
unusually there isnt a single mention glorifying the fads - in fact , jehovahs channel or any other similar expression isnt referenced at all (other than a single scriptural reference in the review of revelation in the dec 15th issue.).

I love life, I love humans!
by Gladring ini'm quite a laid back person and am usually happy to sit back and take it all in but i feel i have to speak up.
i believe everyone is entitled to their opinions and do not like censorship.
i have been disturbed by the increasing number of misleading posts defending the wtbts.
