  welsh secretary criticised for speaking against gay couples raising childrentory mp david jones says same-sex couples cannot provide 'warm and safe environment for the upbringing of children'.

  http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2013/feb/15/gay-couples-children-welsh-secretaryi think, this troubling and uncalled for.

  but how about straight couples?

  UK House of Commons Vote on Gay Marriage Later Today

  by cofty in

  2. current

  the vote could go either way.. only 36% of the british public oppose gay marriage so there is no real political danger to the government.

  david cameron is for it but the cabinet is split.. it will be a test for the tories.

  are they still the reactionary dinosaurs we think they are?.

  The Greatest Show On Earth - A Book Summary In Many Parts

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it was a number of years after i left the watchtower that i finally admitted to myself that i had never really investigated evolution.. i thought i was already an expert on the subject despite everything i knew about it coming form a source that was attacking the theory.

  when i began to reserch evolution objectively i was astonished by the breadth an depth of the evidence.

  i have been reading books and articles on the subject for around ten years now and always find it to be fascinating and inspiring.. a couple of years ago i began to write a summary of dawkin's book on the jws forum with the intention of helping any lurking jws who could not dare be seen reading the book for themselves.

  Tiktaalik - A Brief Introduction

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as a young pioneer i always relished opportunities to demonstrate my ignorance of evolution.

  my usual mantra was that all fossils were fully formed fish or amphibians or reptiles or mammals with nothing in-between.

  even back in the 80s this was factually incorrect, but following a discovery by neil shubin and his team in 2004 the matter has been put beyond reasonable doubt.. one of the biggest gulfs that life has had to cross was the transition from sea to dry land.. fish have conical shaped heads, reptiles have flat heads.
