scientific method asserts nothing living can come from something non-living.
science is observable, science is reproducible.
a living thing coming from non-living matter has never been observed nor reproduced.. therefore, it takes faith in an unknown process to believe that that's exactly what happened in the beginning, with no evidence!.
"Nothing living can come from something non-living"
VS.
"no complex self-replicating organic chemistry can come from less complex non-self-replicating chemistry."
Thank you for that explanation, GeneM.
Nicely explained in layman's terms. You will make a great Science teacher!
Amazing.....
Thanks for that, Still.

You're beating your pretty and intelligent head against a brick wall of ignorance. It's making your scarlet breast ache.
Trust me. Been there, done that, now I have to wear the t-shirt. And it's an ugly t-shirt.
i am curious to know what sent you down the path of your current belief.. personally, i find i am going away from belief altogether...but you seem convinced that satan is the true god worth worshipping.. what was the turning point for you?
did it begin with sheer dislike for the jehovah god...that is uderstandable when you read the ot.
was it somthing about jesus?
Awesome thread.
I've been curious about WTWizard, too, but never had the guts to ask. Thank you both - Still and WTWizard.
hey peeps,.
it's been a long while since i've posted (i am completely out - wife and kids still in) but thought you might this interesting.. they came home from the district convention yesterday with the new dvd intended for kids.
they popped it in right away and this is what happens:.
"Who likes magic? Jehovah? Or........SATAN?"
I haven't seen the video yet, so I hear that quote in the Church Lady's voice from SNL......
just want to share this amazing debate!
caltech cosmologist and physicist sean carroll teams up with skeptic magazine publisher and science historian michael shermer in this epic debate with noted conservative author and king's college president dinesh d'souza and mit physicist ian hutchinson as they go head-to-head over one of the most controversial issues of our age.
as science pushes deeper into territory once the province of religion, with questions such as why there is something rather than nothing?, where did the universe come from?, how did life arise?, what was the origin of morality?, and others, inevitable conflicts arise over the best approach to answer them.
I'm sad that the influence of one s**t-disturber is still popping up on the board.
We used to be able to discuss these hot-button topics without EVERY LITTLE SUPPOSED SLIGHT BEING POINTED OUT AD NAUSEUM. We used to be able to discuss without the stark Us vs. Them mentality.
I really think we ALL are still just suffering the aftereffects of one person whose main purpose was the throw the board into chaos, as she did with every other board she joined and got kicked off of.
Not everything is a "personal attack" and not everything is MEANT to be offensive. We are ALL being too sensitive right now. At the same time, the high emotions that have been stirred up ARE resulting in some personal attacks and deliberate offense.
I am positive we will get back to normal soon.
But this is what I see happening right now. Just the dying results of a bad influence that is, thankfully, gone now.

"remember all the movies, terry, we'd go see .
trying to learn how to walk like heroes we thought we had to be .
and after all this time to find we're just like all the rest .
I miss my grandmother.....
We talk on the phone, but we can't see each other. She lives next door to my parents, and if they knew she had any contact with me, they would turn her in to the elders. She is 90.
regarding prophecy, i see nothing that they've ever been correct on.
from my understanding, they've always had to change the "truth" about the "truth".. scripturally, i can't see the logic of a godhead or a loving father eternally roasting a person who is deemed "bad".. yout thoughts, please?.
Was, darlin'.....you are in fine form today.
Love ya,
Palm

Dagney, did you research what you copy and pasted? The links are no longer valid. (Or never existed in the first place)
They worked for me 30 seconds ago......
i knew this party was too good to last, some inquiring mind is a troll (yes, here on jwn we have moles!
), i think we have a rat here!
i don't feel like "apostate material" and i am not the only one who is going down for this offense!
