Yesterday, I put up 3 questions on the witnesses.net Main board.
http://discussion.witnesses.net/Forum34/HTML/001348.html
This was my question :

1) About 1914
I know how you calculate this from the year 607. But I was wondering how you can figure out that the tree in Daniel 4 means both Nebuchanessar and Jehovah

2) Where do all the different races of people come from?

3) Is it true that man has only been on earth for 6000 years? I learned in school that it was more like 40-100 thousand years. How do you proove the fossils wrong (or the dating on the fossils) when they are done with the C-14 method? Is that method not good, has the climate changed and the amount of C-14 in the atmosphere?

I got no real answers, they just told me to study harder and ask someone else except for one person who answered question nr. 3

*****
She said :
a) Carbon dating is not accurate.
b) Before the flood there was a protective layer of 'water' above the earth that protected us from the damaging affects of the sun. Since the flood that protection is now gone and we 'age' much faster now.
c) More and more people that are young are having some major health problems that people a hundred years ago wouldn't have even seen until old age.

*****
Now I must confess that I don't get it.
1) She says carbon dating is not accurate yet doesn't say why. Any witnesses here care to explain why it isn't accurate?
2) Is there any proof about the water layer and is this the belief of WTBT? Then I guess the ozone layer has nothing to do with the rays from the sun ?
3) What diseases is she talking about?

It's pretty obvious that I will not get any answers from witnesses.net so I'm hoping for some answers from the JW in here.
How come I get fewer replies when I ask about religious stuff, then ppl who post stuff like "GETTING MY WISDOM TEETH OUT!!!!!!" and stuff about what colour your jeans should be etc… ?
Is it impossible for JW to defend their faith or maybe they just don't know what they belive in?
