According to The Photo Drama of Creation, we should accept most aspects of evolution.

Why the Watchtower Study Edition, January 2018, page 26, says:
"Satan’s world has made humans suffer for some 6,000 years."? How do they get that calculation?
HOW TO BE HAPPY
19. Who can never be really happy?
19 Satan’s world has made humans suffer for some 6,000 years. Now, in the last days of this system, the earth is full of people who focus on themselves, money, and pleasures. They think of what they can get and make their own desires the main thing in life. But people like that cannot be truly happy! In contrast, the Bible says: “Happy is the one who has the God of Jacob as his helper, whose hope is in Jehovah his God.”—Psalm 146:5.

Do Jehovah's Witnesses Accept Evolution?
Some people claim that JWs reject the Theory of Evolution in favor of the Bible's creation account in Genesis.
But is that really true?
Note these frank admissions in Watch Tower publications:
"Scientists have proved evolution to be true." -- Answers to 10 Questions Young People Ask (2016) p. 27
"Evolution is a fact." -- Answers to 10 Questions Young People Ask Work, Volume 2 (2016) p. 27; W13 10/15 p. 11; “Bearing Thorough Witness” About God’s Kingdom (2009) p. 141; G 9/06 p. 22; W04 10/1 p. 10; g90 1/22 pp. 8-10; g87 7/22 p. 10; Life - How Did It Get Here? By Evolution or by Creation? (1985) pp. 26, 180, 181; G74 9/22 p. 26
"Evolution is as much a fact as the heat of the sun." -- G 9/06 p. 13; Was Life Created? (2010) p. 18
"Evolution is as much a fact as the existence of gravity." -- Life - How Did It Get Here? By Evolution or by Creation? (1985) p. 181
"Evolution is a fact; God is a myth." G90 1/22 p.11
"Evolution is a fact. It no longer needs to be proved. No competent scientist doubts it. All educated people believe it. Only the ignorant reject it." G87 1/22 p. 10
"There’s no question that evolution is a fact. We see examples of it every day. No responsible person questions it. It’s as much a fact as gravity and atoms!" -- G74 9/22 p. 17
"The Bible is a myth" and "evolution is true". -- W75 7/15 p. 443; W71 1/15 p. 48; G70 4/22 p. 3
"The theory of evolution is true". -- The Origin of Life—Five Questions Worth Asking (2010) p. 9

By day I am TrueTomHarley. But by night I am the educated Dr. Wisus Maximus, instructing dumbbells in the ways of science. I am so successful that my most brilliant student, @AlanF, has surpassed me. It makes me mad! Ah well - we geniuses must be magnanimous.
Hark - here is a letter in my in-box from a plebeian now:
Dear Dr Maximus: You're nuts when you say DNA could happen in 3.5 billion years. It is too complex. If I gave you all the chemicals you needed to build a piece of bamboo and I gave you eternity will you be able to build it? How will you do it?
Dear Mr. Doof: I would simply add a few more zeroes tailing the 3.5 billion years. Surely it could happen in 3.5 trillion years, if billion does not satisfy you. Sheesh! I think billion is enough, but I will go trillion if I have to to placate the skeptics. And because I am "wisus exceptimus" (it is Latin; it means 'smart,' pal- I look it up) I happen to know that there are numbers even bigger that trillion!
All that remains is for the billions of mutations to add on to each other! Piece of cake!
It is like a pile of snow when you put more snow on it. What happens? It gets bigger!!! There's your proof!!

"In 1987, I came to the United States to pursue doctorate studies at Texas A&M University. I was aware that in America, many people believe in God and read the Bible. Also, I had heard that the Bible contains a lot of practical wisdom, so I thought I should read it."
It was no more complicated than that. Later, a Witness visited Dr. Fan Yu. and offered a Bible Study, which he and later his wife accepted. He tells his story in the Awake magazine, #3, 2017.
He was a mathematician. When he reexamined evolution, which he had absorbed because from an early age people told him to absorb it, he dismissed it on the basis of probability alone. That's what you do. You find some essential component of evolution, the odds of which could happen accidentally are greater than the number of atoms of the universe, and proceed from there.

By Bible Speaks
Origin of the Universe:
Gen. 1:1: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
Astronomer Robert Jastrow wrote: “Now we see how the astronomical evidence leads to a biblical view of the origin of the world. The details differ, but the essential elements in the astronomical and biblical accounts of Genesis are the same: the chain of events leading to man commenced suddenly and sharply at a definite moment in time, in a flash of light and energy.”—God and the Astronomers (New York, 1978), p. 14.

Is it infinitely unlikely that we would share stuff like endogenous retroviruses which randomly insert into the host's genome, why we would share seven of the exact same retroviruses with chimps, bonobos etc.., inserted into the exact same location in the genome, out of 3 billion base pairs, if we didn't share a common ancestor?
There are also random mutations (redundant pseudogenes) that we share with chimps as well such as both having the GLO gene(which syntheses its own vitamin C) switched off which is why we have to ingest it.
Some would say the evidence for evolution is overwhelming for those who want to actually look for it.

Soyons reconnaissant devant toutes ses oeuvres· 0 replies
Le Dieu des dieux, Jéhovah, parle ;
il convoque la terre
depuis le soleil levant jusqu’au soleil couchant.
De Sion, la perfection de la beauté, Dieu rayonne.
Notre Dieu viendra et ne pourra pas garder le silence.
Il y a un feu dévorant devant lui,
et une violente tempête fait rage autour de lui.
Il convoque les cieux et la terre
pour juger son peuple :
« Rassemblez auprès de moi mes fidèles,
ceux qui concluent une alliance avec moi par un sacrifice. »
Les cieux proclament sa justice,
car Dieu lui-même est Juge. (Sèla.)
« Écoute, ô mon peuple, je vais parler ;
ô Israël, je vais témoigner contre toi.
Je suis Dieu, ton Dieu.
Ce n’est pas pour tes sacrifices que je te réprimande,
ni pour tes holocaustes, qui sont constamment devant moi.
Je n’ai pas besoin de prendre un taureau de ta maison
ni des boucs de tes enclos.
Car tous les animaux sauvages de la forêt m’appartiennent,
même les bêtes sur mille montagnes.
Je connais tous les oiseaux des montagnes;
les innombrables animaux des champs sont à moi.
Si j’avais faim, je ne te le dirais pas,
car le sol productif m’appartient, avec tout ce qui s’y trouve.
Vais-je manger la viande des taureaux
et boire le sang des boucs?
Offre en sacrifice à Dieu ta reconnaissance
et acquitte-toi des vœux que tu as faits au Très-Haut;
appelle-moi en temps de détresse.
Je te secourrai, et tu me glorifieras. »
Mais Dieu dira au méchant :
« De quel droit récites-tu mes prescriptions
ou parles-tu de mon alliance?
Car tu détestes la discipline,
et sans cesse tu tournes le dos à mes paroles.
Quand tu vois un voleur, tu l’approuves,
et tu fréquentes les personnes adultères.
Avec ta bouche, tu répands le mal,
et tu attaches la tromperie à ta langue.
Tu t’assieds et tu parles contre ton frère;
tu révèles les défauts du fils de ta propre mère.
Quand tu faisais ces choses, je gardais le silence,
alors tu t’es dit que j’étais comme toi.
Mais, à présent, je vais te réprimander
et exposer ce que j’ai contre toi.
Réfléchissez à ceci, s’il vous plaît, vous qui oubliez Dieu,
sinon je vous déchirerai et il n’y aura personne pour vous secourir.
Celui qui offre en sacrifice sa reconnaissance me glorifie ;
et à celui qui est déterminé à bien agir
je ferai voir le salut de Dieu. »

Dieu aime les prières et la sincérité de ses serviteurs humbles· 0 replies
Dieu aime la bonté de coeur envers autrui et non aux sacrifices et holocaustes d'animaux sauvages et domistiques.
Dans ton amour fidèle, accorde-moi ta faveur, ô Dieu.
Dans ta grande miséricorde, efface mes transgressions.
Lave-moi complètement de ma faute
et purifie-moi de mon péché.
Car je suis bien conscient de mes transgressions,
et mon péché est constamment devant moi.
C’est contre toi que j'ai failli, oui j'ai fait le mal
devant tes yeux.
Ainsi, tu es juste quand tu parles,
tu es droit quand tu juges.
Vois ! Je suis né coupable
et, depuis l’instant où ma mère m’a conçu, je suis pécheur.
Vois ! Tu prends plaisir à la vérité dans le fond du cœur;
enseigne-moi la vraie sagesse, au plus profond de moi.
Purifie-moi de mon péché avec l’hysope, pour que je sois pur;
lave-moi, pour que je sois plus blanc que la neige.
Fais-moi entendre le son de l’allégresse et de la joie,
pour que les os que tu as broyés se réjouissent.
Détourne ton visage de mes péchés
et efface toutes mes fautes.
Crée en moi un cœur pur, ô Dieu,
et mets en moi un esprit nouveau, ferme.
Ne me chasse pas de ta présence ;
ne m’enlève pas ton esprit saint.
Redonne-moi la joie d’être sauvé par toi;
éveille en moi la volonté de t’obéir.
Je veux enseigner tes chemins aux transgresseurs,
pour que les pécheurs reviennent à toi.
Libère-moi de la culpabilité de meurtre, ô Dieu, mon Dieu sauveur,
pour que ma langue puisse proclamer joyeusement ta justice.
Ô Jéhovah, ouvre mes lèvres
pour que ma bouche proclame ta louange.
Car tu ne veux pas de sacrifices — autrement, j’en donnerais ;
tu ne prends pas plaisir aux holocaustes.
Le sacrifice qui plaît à Dieu, c’est un esprit brisé ;
un cœur brisé et broyé, ô Dieu, tu ne le rejetteras pas.
Dans ta bienveillance, agis pour le bien de Sion ;
bâtis les murailles de Jérusalem.
Alors tu prendras plaisir aux sacrifices de justice,
aux holocaustes et aux offrandes totales ;
alors on offrira des taureaux sur ton autel.

Hello to all my Spiritual Brothers and Sisters! I haven't been on here in a while, because as of August 17, 2021, I moved to Commerce, Texas! I was on the Commerce Housing Authority Waiting list since 2019! I was selected to receive my one bedroom apartment, with my Chihuahua, with my precious Babyboy, who is now 16 years old! and I signed my lease on August 5, 2021, and had my gas turned on! We have a very small Congregation of 71 publishers, including me! I haven't been to our beautiful Kingdomhall yet, but I did take some photos of the outside of it! I'm praying that we are one of the Congregations, chosen to start attending in person, our pilot meetings that many countries are now attending! Puerto Rico, Chile, and Australia are a few chosen right now! There's three Shirley's in my Congregation! Two elderly sisters, one is white, she's No.1 , and another elderly sister who is black, she's No.2, and I'm ShirleyL3! One sister lovingly named me that! I feel special now! I haven't been given an assignment yet, but soon I will! I really enjoyed our "POWERFUL by FAITH" Regional Convention so much! We needed all the Spiritual Encouragement which focused on all of us! Also, all those beautiful videos, and the real life experiences! July 29, 1972, was my baptism date! 49 years now, serving Jehovah! I was 15 when I dedicated my life to serve Jehovah! I'm 64 years young now, and still faithfully serving Jehovah! I do telephone witnessing now! Which lots of people hang up on me, but I'm used to it now! All that matters is that I'm giving Jehovah my best! I'm so excited about our Special Campaign now! Only Jehovah reads hearts! Hopefully lots of people will show some interest! This year 2021 is almost over! I received both doses of Moderna, and have to wait till I turn 65 in May, to receive my Booster shot! We lost over 17, 000 brothers and sisters to Covid-19! My prayers are with them and their families! Soon, as Jehovah has promised, they will welcome their loved ones back in their lives, during the resurrection! I love it here so much, everyone is very friendly! I just love my Congregation too! I hope everyone makes their personal decision to get vaccinated! Also I hope everyone has a great rest of 2021! Let's see what Jehovah has in store for us in 2022! Were having our Circuit Assembly on November 27, 2021! Take care of yourselves, be safe, and always trust in Jehovah!!! Have a great weekend everybody, agape love, Sister Shirley Ann Lowery!· 1 reply
