I have noticed that sometimes people with a scientific mind, people who have studied a lot and know a lot of information about different sciences, do not notice simple things that do not escape the attention of ordinary people, even if they have studied less or almost nothing.
For example, the fact that the animals that evolutionists call "lower" in the evolutionary scale still live alongside humans, and that others supposedly fitter, because they are located in a higher position in the evolutionary line of man, no longer exist.
Evolutionary theory holds that as animals progressed up the evolutionary scale, they became more capable of surviving. Why, then, is the “inferior” ape family still in existence, but not a single one of the presumed intermediate forms, which were supposed to be more advanced in evolution? Today we see chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans, but no “ape-men.” Does it seem likely that every one of the more recent and supposedly more advanced “links” between apelike creatures and modern man should have become extinct, but not the lower apes? https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1101985017
To what extent do you think the "wisdom" of this system of things can cloud a person's mind?

This is more along the lines of preaching rather than debating the topic. Please stick to the thread progression and debate the points being made without simply quoting bible verses or stories for answers. Review the forum Rules, and also the guidelines on Preaching.

In human affairs the sources of success are ever to be found in the fountains of quick resolve and swift stroke; and it seems to be a law, inflexible and inexorable, that he who will not risk cannot win.

Post #343Your illiterate rant is noted. You continue to make claims without supporting them. If "everyone knows" something, it should be easy to support your claim. You offer no support.kjw47 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 13, 2022 5:15 pm Every one [sic] on earth [sic] knows they are putting cancer causing chemicals in our food, tobacco, medicines.

Your excuses has no place [sic] in Gods [sic] will. If a govt [sic] actually cared about the people, they would do something.
You appear to miss the essential point about debate, that one must support one's claims. You claim to know "God's will." This is blasphemy. No one but God can make such a claim. Even Jesus did not claim to know God's will when on that night in the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives:
“Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”
__ Luke 22:42

Maybe you missed--Our water, air, land all polluted by cancer causing chemicals and things. Thus we eat it in our food daily. Poisions added to tobacco to rush nicotene to the brain and keep one addicted no matter what it does to them. Asbestos-sued because they knew the cancer causing problems. Commercial after commercial of the rotten drugs they sold to people and they knew they caused cancer.. What planet do you live on?
The bible is filled with Gods will.
