That is a sin!. You should apologize or go to hell. spikes C:Pathetic! unattested says atheists believe in a supernatural god?? Surely you are a kid to write hidden on the computer. Go do your homework, and do not opines on major issues! |

noetic16: 1) We all know that people dream. A dream coming true is either a self-fulfilling prophecy, a false awakening or a coincidence, nothing spiritual. 2) De ja vus happen. Just because it is complex, subjective and strange doesnt mean that it is spiritual. There are drugs that can increase the chances of De ja vu and also theories regarding de ja vu. There is no mention of de ja vu in the bible or quran or talmud It is funny how religionists jump at anything that is hard to explain as "spiritual" 3) Evolution. Heard of it? As for the first life forms, evolution does not explain how they came about but evolution explains how other organisms evolved into humans. Just because we dont know some things about the origin of life doesnt mean that we should lump it up to god. God of the gaps 4) MacDaddy01: 5) MacDaddy01: |

mkmyers45: I cant help but wonder if you intentionally mixed it up or if u just truly did not understand my point. I wasnt talking about dreaming about an event that happened, I'm talking about dreaming about something u knew nothing about only for it to come to reality sometimes in the future. At such a time it may then hit you like 'waooo I dreamed of exactly this sometimes back'. Pls how do you explain this away if you dont believe in the spiritual realm? The dream thing simply points to the fact that there is more to us and to life than just the physical. 1 Like |

FXKing2012: Does this happen to you? Do you have record of this dreams? Did they re-occur exactly? But i still maintain that the human mind is fully under the spell of subconscious and sometimes you do,say and even be right in the middle of things without remembering... |

FXKing2012: It should first be noted that atheism was imported to Africa, our forefathers were very religious so atheism was never our thing. I had to clear this out because of the atheists in this forum who keep shouting about how Christianity and Islam were imported to Africa as if atheism was not. If you can't explain it, therefore its GoD!! #godofgaps |

How is a dream connected to the Spiritual realm?? |

Kay 17: How is a dream connected to the Spiritual realm?? There are only 2 realms: physical and spiritual. Everything that happens; everything we experience is either physical or metaphysical. Now, if something aint physical or cant be explained scientifically, then common sense tells us it has to be spiritual or simply beyond physical. Now, question is do u believe when your dream comes to fruition in reality it is beyond physical? 1 Like |

FXKing2012:what makes you think there are just 2 realms?what evidence do you have to prove there are just 2 realms?besides you are yet to respond to the earlier question regarding the acclaimed "spirit" of adam.the bible potrays a scenario in which adam required the breath of life to be a living thing.he required that breath to move,eat,see and do every other thing a living thing does.now a goat also has all the characteristics of a living thing.it moves,eats,reproduces etc.the only difference between a goat and man is that a goat behaves as it goat and a man behaves as a man.it could be argued that a man is not superior to a goat but thats talk for another day |

Delafruita: Already told u that the breath of life which God breathed into Adam was the infusion of God's spirit into man, which makes us spirit beings. And that is why we are way superior to animals. God gave life to animals just the way He gave life to plants and microbes. And if u say man is not superior to a goat, pls make it clear that u are speaking for yourself cos I know my own value. |
Re: The 5 Arguments That Killed Atheism. by Delafruita(m): 10:00am On Jul 10, 2012 |
FXKing2012:what characteristic does this spirit bring to man that is absent in other animals? when i say a man is not superior to a goat,i mean in the aminal realm,man and goat are simply different specie of animals.they both ehibit the same characteristics albeit on different scales.in the world of a goat,a goat is its own king.same as a dog,lion,zebra or even a porcupine.in their respective habitats,they exhibit the traits a human exhibits.in essence,what xtic does this spirit confer that gives us a distinct difference from these animals |

MacDaddy01: You shot yourself in the foot. If a dream is a self-fulfilling prophecy does that not connote spiritualism or a realm outside of the material? For a fact we know that the brain is incapable of graphically describing future events as done in dreams. Hence, meaningfully-prophesying dreams are from a different realm. 2) De ja vus happen. Just because it is complex, subjective and strange doesnt mean that it is spiritual. There are drugs that can increase the chances of De ja vu and also theories regarding de ja vu. There is no mention of de ja vu in the bible or quran or talmud It is funny how religionists jump at anything that is hard to explain as "spiritual"Whats your point? Do you actually know what Deja vu means? 3) Evolution. Heard of it? As for the first life forms, evolution does not explain how they came about but evolution explains how other organisms evolved into humans. Just because we dont know some things about the origin of life doesnt mean that we should lump it up to god. God of the gapsEvolution does not explain the origin of life. What are the components of the first chemical reaction as claimed by evolution? What are the chemical components of the big-bang? Perhaps you refer to biogenesis, even that does a very bad job at explaining the origin of life. 4. Your assertion assumes that there was a point in time where NOTHING existed. What is the basis of this assumption? |

Wow, though. Those arguments really murdered atheism oh. I mean, there's no wiggle room at all. Anything we cannot explain at the moment is ergo supernatural. And anything supernatural leads to the irrefutable conclusion that there is God. I'm not an atheist but I always maintain that the most reasonable position one can ever take in matters of religion is atheism or if you don't wanna go nihilist, perhaps agnosticism. I'm deist. But the reason for me being so is for me alone. I don't expect it to make sense to anyone. If you say you dream dreams that come true, that by no means is not a phenomenon that everyone experiences. Most deja vu feelings come from dreams that we remember and are similar. It's when someone comes to me and says I dreamt that a meteorite will fall on the White House on October 4th and that indeed happens, that I'll believe in dreams' power. Nobody remembers that he dreamt a thing until that thing has already happened. Let's be honest with orselves |

Those particles are organisms( unicellular organisms living). So can u see that animate can develop from inanimate? |
Re: The 5 Arguments That Killed Atheism. by MacDaddy01: 11:49am On Jul 10, 2012 |
noetic16: Dumbazz, do you know what a self-fulfilling prophecy is? There is nothing spiritual about it. It just means that it is a prophecy that comes true only because one acted on it. Self-fulfilling prophecies can be avoided. You are really ignorant. If I tell someone that he will be rich and he believes this and he works hard to be rich, that is a self-fulfilling prophecy. He could have been poor by not doing anything noetic16:De ja vu is memory based. Nothing spiritual. If there are drugs that can increase chances of experiencing de ja vu, it is not spiritual. noetic16: I already said that evolution does not explain how the first organisms came. Just because we dont fully know everything about the origin of life deosnt meant that we should attribute it to God. If scientists thought like this, we would still be believing that the sun moves around the earth from the bible. noetic16: Big Bang? |
