There are those who try to prove the earth is only about 6,000 years old by using population growth, stating that the population doubles every 160 years.

The problem is that the 160 years was calculated by assuming the earth was only 6,000 years old to begin with, plus it ignores the fact that the earth population didn't increase to any degree for a very long time.

If the creationist ideas of the way the population increased is examined it is soon seen to be a nonsense, the number of people in the world at the time of the Exodus would only have been approximately 150 and yet those creationists still stick rigidly to that nonsense.

The last leaflet I have seen from the JWs used Michael Behe's idea that irreducible complexity proves 'inteligent design' but several years ago that same man was shot down in flames in the Kitzmiller v Dover trial and his ideas have been disproved, however he is still presented as an expert to back up their dogma.

"In fact, on cross-examination, Professor Behe was questioned concerning his 1996 claim that science would never find an evolutionary explanation for the immune system. He was presented with fifty-eight peer-reviewed publications, nine books, and several immunology textbook chapters about the evolution of the immune system; however, he simply insisted that this was still not sufficient evidence of evolution, and that it was not "good enough.

Religious organizations have no compunction in ignoring overwhelming evidence disproving their ideas and continuing to teach things which they must know are untrue, it cannot be said they are doing any other than telling lies.

To state something as a fact when there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary, is not telling the truth.
