malvisguy212:highest of heavens is situated in heaven. If i say deepest of earth, am i moving away from the earth? Rather, i am only trying to specify an extreme of a particular entity. Why is it only in case like these you guys want to turn things upside down but tomorrow you will say you will go to heaven and not third heaven or heaven of heavens. And then heaven will not become space any longer 1 Like |

malvisguy212: Yes, I'm an illogical atheist. I don't have time and energy to express logic on what is illogical. So i copy the theist approach. For what can be asserted without logic or proof, can be dismissed without logic or proof. SIMPLE! P.S: I am not perturbed when you say atheist are confused or illogical, cos i am copying the theist method so i know who you are indirectly referring to 1 Like |

KingEbukasBlog:the universe is indeterminate, hence we can use the word eternal or infinite. |

malvisguy212:the universe have a beginning which is indeterminate. Thus, if the beginning is indeterminate, we can say the universe is eternal or infinite. There is no god to start with, else he would be speaking for himself to prove his existence like the universe is doing instead of have you and others speaking and fighting to bring him into existence 1 Like |

chemystery: Abeg carry your wahala go jare You keep saying the saying the universe is eternal without proof when observational data and physics let us understand that the universe has a beginning .

KingEbukasBlog:why will anyone be bothered about who created what is not existing? science is trying hard like religion to explain how we came into existence. There is no concreate answer yet from either side. Both theories are premature |
Re: Gen. 1 Vs 1: Where Was God Before Creating HEAVEN And Earth? by chemystery: 10:17am On Jun 06, 2017 |
KingEbukasBlog:There are many scientific theories on that. So which are you opting for? The universe have a beginning which is indeterminate. where have you proved god is eternal? |

KingEbukasBlog:don't confuse yourself because you want to win an argument. Are you in support of biblical beginning of the universe of less than 10,000 years or the scientific beginning of millions of years? If you go with the bible, then you have to dismiss scientific theories. If you go with science, then you have to falsify the bible. you see say na you get the wahala? |
Re: Gen. 1 Vs 1: Where Was God Before Creating HEAVEN And Earth? by KingEbukasBlog(m): 10:46am On Jun 06, 2017 |
chemystery:Win arguments ? I've abandoned so many arguments because most times they are a waste of time . Just like I'll do now if you continue making assertions without backing them up with logic or science . Are in support of biblical beginning of the universe of less than 10,000 years or the scientifi beginning of millions of years? Bro , there are so many interpretations of the biblical account of creation . There is old-earth creationism and young earth creationism . There is theistic evolution - the belief God orchestrated evolution . Some Christians interpret the creation story literally while others do so allegorically . Even before science came with evidence of 4.5 billion year old earth , ancient and medieval Christians and Jewish philosophers interpreted the bible's creation story allegorically . 1 Like 1 Share |

KingEbukasBlog:Yes for what is asserted without proof or logic - like existence of god, does not need proof or logic to dismiss. When you start rolling out proofs and logic, you will surely see me in action. But for now, i can't waste such energy cos arguing in faith like you are doing, expells little or no energy unlike arguing with logic and proofs. So i will be losing.... Tell me, are you going for the scientific theory or biblical theory of the beginning of the universe? When you said many interpretation of biblical account of creation, i laughed. Is this not evident the bible brews confusion? Is this not evident the bible is man made tool to explain how we came into existence? Tell me the interpretation you go with and what it said about how many years ago the earth began if you are going with the bible's account of less than 10,000 years. Or you can manufacture an intepretation that matches with science's billion years |

chemystery: This! and to drive further nail into the rubbish Kingebukasblog spilled, they claim to have this invisible holy spirit that their Yahweh/Jesus/both (depending on which Christian sect you ask) sent to them and this holy spirit reveals the truth to them, I'm guessing "truth" needs to vary here and there just watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLBDFe3mDtk 1 Like |

chemystery: Pooh Pooh fallacy . I gave you two logical reasons the other the day to acknowledge the existence of God and you could not refute them . You just hold tightly to your illogical assertions and claims even when they have been debunked so easily - that's delusion . Tell me, are you going for the scientific theory or biblical theory of the beginning of the universe? I just told you that ancient and medieval Jewish and Christian philosophers interpreted the bible allegorically before science came with evidence of a 4.5 billion year old year earth . And you still went ahead to say that interpretations were done to match science's evidence . Haba ! And the scientific discoveries were still made by Christians ! Ancient atheists from the Charvaka materialist school believed that everything is made up of fire , water , air and earth . Or you don't know that ancient atheists made so many daft claims ?

KingEbukasBlog:lemme see the logical reason. Maybe you typed and send but still hanging in the air... and he finally came with his own theory to match with science... I repeat again, are you going with the bible's chronological proof of <10,000 years ago, or the scientific theory of 4.5billion years? Or you no longer believe in the bible just because of this particular argument? Never knew i can make you deny the bible |

chemystery: Bro , I'm not sure why you are not getting this . The chronology is just a way some Christians determine the age of the earth . The Christians who don't use the chronology are not denying the bible , they are simply using a different interpretation . Simple . A metaphorical view of the creation story is not denying the bible or trying to harmonize the bible with scientific evidence . The metaphorical interpretation is as old as the literal view . How else do you want me to explain ? 1 Like |

KingEbukasBlog: Gonna need some citations for that load of rubbish. What evidence is there within the early church or proto-semitic religious communities that their creation myths were seen as metaphorical, and what gives credence to this metaphor to begin with? Last I checked the creation beliefs of Abrahamic traditions, in a time where there was no study of cosmology and before people knew of fossilisation, evolution, nuclear science or Carbon-14 emission dating, were strictly literal, and you were punished for claiming otherwise. |
