RootsBooster Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) If you download the brochure page 24 looks at the Genesis creative days if you can't download it you can request one be sent to you So, what are you saying, it's just pages from Genesis? I thought you were going to expand on how the Bible is "scientifically accurate"? ---------- Post added 26-11-2014 at 10:10 ---------- Okay, downloaded your propaganda. This is the page 24 you mentioned... Scienceand the Genesis account Many people claim that science disproves the Bible’s account of creation. However, the real contradiction is, not between science and the Bible, but between science and the opinions of Christian Fundamentalists. Some of these groups falsely assert that according to the Bible, all physical creation was produced in six 24-hour days approximately 10,000 years ago. The Bible, however, does not support such a conclusion. If it did, then many scientific discoveries over the past one hundred years would indeed discredit the Bible. A careful study of the Bible text reveals no conflict with established scientific facts. For that reason, Jehovah’s Witnesses disagree with Christian Fundamentalists and many creationists. The following shows what the Bible really teaches. When was “the beginning”? The Genesis account opens with the simple, powerful statement: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) A number of Bible scholars agree that this statement describes an action separate from the creative days recounted from verse 3 onward. The implication is profound. According to the Bible’s opening words, the universe, including our planet, Earth, was in existence for an indefinite time before the creative days began. Geologists estimate that the earth is 4 billion years old, and astronomers calculate that the universe may be as much as 15 billion years old. Do these findings—or their potential future refinements— contradict Genesis 1:1? No. The Bible does not specify the actual age of “the heavens and the earth.” Science is not at odds with the Biblical text. How long were the creative days? What about the length of the creative days? Were they literally 24 hours long? Some claim that because Moses—the writer of Genesis—later referred to the day that followed the six creative days as a model for the weekly Sabbath, each of the creative days must be literally 24 hours long. (Exodus 20:11) Does the wording of Genesis support this conclusion? No, it does not. The fact is that the Hebrew word translated “day” can mean various lengths of time, not just a 24-hour period. So, out of that blurb of spam, could you please highlight or quote the parts which show that the Bible is "scientifically accurate?"

Why can't you just post the relevant part? Why must it always be such a guessing game full of smoke and mirrors when it comes to the religious making claims like "the bible is scientifically accurate"? Seriously, you don't do your credibility any favours, it was bad enough that you came on here claiming to have "come accross the new tv channel which Jehovahs witness have launched" as though it hasn't been already promoted and announced in your Kingdom Hall and that you had no prior knowledge of it. Why not just share the information you have instead of leading people on? It's a very dishonest way of trying to recruit candidates.

lazarus Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 what are your opinions on religion on tv ? i came accross the new tv channel which Jehovahs witness have launched , opinions ? http://www.tv.jw.org Could be that people don't open their front doors to them so this could be way of creeping up on people from the t.v. screen, still wouldn't listen or watch them.

You have picked the most discredited book in the bible,for "the key",have you looked into mormonism? I cannot see how anyone with a brain can be a follower of such rubbish,its pathetic in the 21st century.

I didnt read it because I have suffered the JW BS too often in my past to be bothered with reading yet more of it ---------- Post added 26-11-2014 at 15:05 ---------- Why not just share the information you have instead of leading people on? It's a very dishonest way of trying to recruit candidates. Isnt that just the standard JW approach? ---------- Post added 26-11-2014 at 15:10 ---------- you need to read on ..... and on, and on, and on until you leave the bible and pick up a Stephen Hawkins book The Bible contains very little that is "scientifically accurate" It is not meant to be a science book. Like the koran et al it is a theological book and a guide to how to follow the teachings and beliefs of the relevant deity. It is such claims that make the JW such alaughing stock and you are not doing yourself any favours by continuing such preposterous claims Edited November 26, 2014 by alchemist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
