OP,thanks for the info but one thing i noticed is that you explained why most of those assertions you listed are wrong except the one on Human evolution. Can you please tell us how Charles Darwin got it wrong on his postulation? |

I always know that the worlds history especially the one whites has monopoly on are always full of fictions rather than unquestionable facts ,for instance mungo park ,aa it was told discovered river niger meanwhile our fore bears has been swimming and irrigating their farms with solvent from river niger . Most of the facts lecturers present in class instantly disprove them within me but for the sake of passing exams i pour them out like that to secure my grade. The main thing is the truth is already there . Let me end it this way ,until the lions tell their tale the story of the hunt will always glorify the hunter . 1 Like |

Noneroone: The Bible also says this : Isaiah 11:12 12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH . (KJV) Revelation 7:1 1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH , holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. (KJV) Job 38:13 13 That it might take hold of the ENDS OF THE EARTH , that the wicked might be shaken out of it? (KJV) Jeremiah 16:19 19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ENDS OF THE EARTH, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. (KJV) Daniel 4:11 11 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the ENDS OF ALL THE EARTH : (KJV) Matthew 4:8 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; (KJV) Astronomical bodies are spherical, and you cannot see the entire exterior surface from any place. The kingdoms of Egypt, China, Greece, Crete, sections of Asia Minor, India, Maya (in Mexico), Carthage (North Africa), Rome (Italy), Korea, and other settlements from these kingdoms of the world were widely distributed. The flat Earth is established and can never move?! The Sun hurries back to where it rises?! The Psalm 104:5 and Ecclesiastes 1:5 verses from the Bible in this section say: "He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved. "The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises. he Earth has pillars?! "He shakes the earth from its place and makes its pillars tremble. (From the NIV Bible, Job 9:6)" "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand. (From the NIV Bible, Job 38:4)" The Earth has Edges?! "that it might take the earth by the edges and shake the wicked out of it? (From the NIV Bible, Job 38:13)" "He unleashes his lightning beneath the whole heaven and sends it to the ends of the earth. (From the NIV Bible, Job 37:3)" "for he views the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens. (From the NIV Bible, Job 28:24)" "Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea. (From the NIV Bible, Job 11:9)" It is quite clear that the above Biblical Verses suggest and claim that the Earth is flat, has Edges, has Four Corners, has Pillars, and has Foundations. No unbiased person would deny the straight forward quotes above. Only the desperate biased Jews and Christians would. Let us look at what the Verse says: "He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in. (From the NIV Bible, Isaiah 40:22)" First of all, a circle is not a ball or sphere or an egg-shaped object. A circle is a flat round surface, similar to flat rectangular, or square, or triangular surfaces. So if the Bible claims that the Earth is a circle, then this is still bogus because the earth is obviously not a flat surface. We have two conditions here: 1- Isaiah 40:22 is claiming that the Earth is a flat circle. 2- Isaiah 40:22 is claiming that the Earth has a circle above it. If we were to take condition #1, then we are left with a clear and irrefutable contradiction between Isaiah 40:22 and some of the Bible's verses that I mentioned above in the article, because a flat circle doesn't have "four corners", and ironically in either case, we still have a scientifically false claim about the Earth's shape. IF we were to take condition #2, then it doesn't prove that the Earth is an egg-shaped figure, and Isaiah 40:22 surely becomes irrelevant to this subject. One thing is for sure clear, and that is Isaiah 40:22 is obviously ambiguous and not clear if we wish to prove from it that the Earth is not flat and is egg-shaped. If we look at what the entire Bible says (as presented above by all the Verses) about the shape of the Earth as the Roman Catholic Church did in the past, then we would reach the same conclusion they reached, and that is: The Earth is Flat! Certainly, when Christopher Columbus thought that he could reach India by going west in the Atlantic ocean instead of east as it was traditionally done, the Church in Europe was afraid that he will eventually reach the "end of the earth" and the "Edges of the earth" as the Bible clearly says above, and fall off into the space and die. After he was able to convince the Queen that the adventure was worth the try, Christopher Columbus had survived several assassination attempts while he and his people were sailing in the ocean, because his Christian Church-believing mates were afraid and wanted to go back. When he finally found America, he thought he reached India. That's why the North American Continent was called "India", and the Native Americans were called "Red Indians".

Noneroone: [size=38pt]THe BOLDED IS A LIE![/size] [size=18pt]Members of the same tribe would NEVER sell their own kinsmen into slavery, unless they were criminals (as in the Long Juju Shrine in Igboland) . The slaves sold were Always captured from OTHER ethnic groups through war and raids. There was slavery in Africa before the whites came, but the African concept of slavery was different from the european one. Slaves would be inducted into the tribal caste system and would join apprenticeships and even rise into higher posititions. There was no concept of whipping, torture and forced conversion of slaves, etc. Slaves also stood chance of being manumitted or even become KINGS! (E.g., Jaja of Opobo)[/size] |

One of the reason why I dropped Christianity. How can my god and personal saviour be taken away to Egypt due to persecution by King Herold? My God should be the Most powerful. So he couldn't protect his parents? and how do I state that my lord has parents? So much confusion in Christianity. Someone will come up with a theory that it's the son,what about the father and holy spirit? Trinity is the greatest scam in human history. 2 Likes |

PAGAN9JA:Bros, its been a while. How do you do? tunshe: Indeed the Trinity lie is the greatest scam Aside from the trinity scam, the worthless idea that someone, an ignorant at that can be sacrificed on my behalf, without my consent, to atone for some made up "sin" which I had no part in committing and for which I was "condemned" without my side of the story before I was born, is utterly repugnant to me.... How about the confusion the christianity entirely which led to about 41000sects teaching different doctrines? One will wonder weather the bible God is an author of confusion, but if you ask them this particular question they will tell you he is not an author of confusion.... . so many loopholes, so many unanswered questions, so many lies, and so many contradictions. 1 Like |

Mcbussy: While I agree with most of your post, I have an issue with you making a categorical statements like "Memory and perception cannot be passed by genes." How can anyone be sure of that? Even the best scientists are still tring to make sense of the world. You say memories and perceptions cannot be passed on, whereas it is possible to pass on cognitive capabilities and patterns? Capabilitiies and patterns and other abilities and proclivities, dysfunctions annd diseased that are passed on are still some form of memories aren't they? The brain 'remembers' the habit/pattern/capability, even though it's mostly subconscious, right? To me that's memory. Same thing with perception, if we 'remember' then what is remembered affects how we perceive things (perception) and what we believe and ultimately our behaviour. Also, if memory, perception and beliefs cannot be passed on then what is the essence of heredity? Is it not to help the succeeding generation survive and thrive and learn from their ancestors? I have no doubt that they are transferable, even though there are still many grey areas in our knowlegde of the process and modalities of what is 'remembered' and what is not. My 2cents. |

Mcbussy: I quiet disagree with you on this. The human mind is not completely tabular raza at birth. There are some innate knowledge for varying individual at birth. Some of it develop to become a talent. For example, when a new born heard a shout, or something fearful, they shout, cry or do something to react to that strange occurence. If you take a new born child away from his or her mother, he or she will show disapprval either by crying or otherwise. That is the knowledge available to them at that instant and there is no experience that cos them to realise something is wrong somewhere. |

bollify: You are talking about insticts that are locked in the DNA of different species. That is still not what John Locke was talking about. Infants don't learn to cry, suck on brëasts or objects,they just do because it has been programmed in the DNA of the specie. Those are the basic coping instincts u see in every mammal. I'm sure other animal classes have their own version of inborn instincts too. Those are instincts and not the experience, memory and perception that the "tabula rasa" theory talks about. 1 Like |

DeeMain: Okay,I get ur point...nobody can be too sure,but so far,nobody has ever come out to prove he has his parents memories. No scientific finding has proven it. If there's any,then u can please share d link cos I would love to learn new things. I have never seen and recognised my parents childhood friends without an introduction from my parents. I have never had flashbacks of events that happened to my parents b4 I was born. I don't know about u,but for me,I didn't inherit my parents memory. Well,I don't think u can relate cognitive functioning to memory. Its more like a processing power, its more like intelligence,and its quite different from memory. The exact memory "tabula rasa" is about is the child's own experience. Not the ability to reason very critically or the fast thinking that's usually passed from intelligent parents to their offsprings. |
