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.

Do you feel embarrassed, humiliated, anger that you were a Jw?
by LouBelle ini ask because some posters say they felt totally humiliated, or wonder how they could have been sucked in, or some are extremely bitter and angry about their past.
over the nearly 4 years i've come to totally accept that i was a jw, but have made my peace, and honestly can say i've forgiven, if you will, that part of my life.
totally moved on and do not have negative feelings about it.
