  Nugget - glad to be able to share

  Robdar - that is very encouraging! I keep my eyes open for others... I found a thread about C.O.s where some of the posters shared many past C.O.s with me, but those folks haven't posted here in a while.

  matthew 6:1: "take good care not to practice your righteousness in front of men in order to be observed by them; otherwise you will have no reward with your father who is in the heavens.".

  "now we'd like to call to the platform brother so-and-so, a [let's face it, capital letters should be used] regular pioneer and elder in the blah-blah-blah congregation.

  brother so-and-so, what helped you to put kingdom interests first?".

  A little too right...

  Especially about the audience clapping over the speaker. You really made it come alive for me! Don't do it again.

  The Probabilty of there being an Intelligent Designer

  by cantleave in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been thinking a great deal about where i stand at this moment in time in terms of a belief in a creator verses a belief in an evolutionary process.

  i think the best way to describe it is an exploratory path.

  i look at what is around me and i acknowledge it is remarkable.

  Wobble - I guess we have become sidetracked a bit! As to the original question, my current thought is that there may be an intelligent first cause. I don't know. But the history of life as we know it is very well described and accounted for by evolution primarily by means of natural selection - natural selection being one of several non-random mechanisms of evolution. Does that necessitate or invalidate an intelligent designer?

  I don't know.
