Yes they are. Why? Because they assume things about me WHICH ARE INCORRECT, something you would've seen if you had actually read the op instead of coming here to litter the thread with memes in your trademark style.
Tell me about it. Stupid vaccines and electricity and airplanes and computers and cell phones. There actually is no 'science' behind them, only very good juju.
The Science community is not the same as atheist community you know.
You're a fraud. Why did you edit the post again? Am I offended by your questions? No, I'm offended by your stupidity! You're so wrapped up in your crusade against atheism that you did not even read the topic of the thread, not to all of the opening post before asking your 'questions'. Its like someone just said 'I eat beans without palm oil' and then youncome in and ask 'why do you hate beans?'. That's how stupid you looked.

AnonyNymous: Ok, if you opened this thread I'm assuming you want to see what I'm on about, well this is just my 'journey' towards the truth/finding out what really is out there. I don't claim to have absolute knowledge and never have. Feel free to scrutinize and ask questions, and please use your head. Please. Thanks.
I'm going to be writing it as if I'm interviewing myself, so without further ado let's begin:
Do you believe in god? Hmm, tricky question. It depends on whatyou call god. If you're referring to some telepathic sky daddy with human emotions like anger, jealousy, regret, and so on, I can tell you that I'm absolutely convinced that that thing doesn't exist. The word 'god' has been bastardized to a joke, so I try to distance myself from that word. There are, however, some things that I'd classify as 'god'.
Interesting. Things like what? Well first off, the evolution theory makes perfect sense, and science has been able to date when it started. But how, remains a big question. There are so many different theories, I've read about 13. The modern abiogenesis theory refers to the synthesizing of living cells from chemicals, to put it simply. That sounds a bit sketchy to me. I feel that nature is, in a way alive. Mathematically, if humans (we) have free will, then nature does too. I think I'm going off point here. But let's just say I feel like there's an immaterial entity existing, and that nature/the universe is just an extension of that entity. I call it 'Primary Conciousness' like Dr. Edward Close. Its amazing to think that the mere act of watching a non living thing could alter the course of the universe (butterfly effect). Because quantum particles behave differently when they are observed and when they aren't. I'm ranting now. Lol. If I didn't make much sense to you watch this video to understand the experiment that was carried out. Its put in simple terms with a cartoon illustration to make it easy to understand:
So then, any thoughts as to why you reject traditional creation stories? Haha . . . yeah. I think those things were cooked up by ancient people with a limited view and understanding of the universe. To say the least, its unlikely that the cause of the universe would come down to Earth to mould sand and breathe life into it. Earth. It sounds ridiculous. To put it in perspective, Earth, compared to the rest of the universe is like a grain of sand on a beach. Its highly unlikely that out of the billions of solar systems in the universe, he specifically chose ours, and then proceeded to choose Earth, out of all the planets, to send his only son to die to save us from him. Its quite amusing to think that You try saying that to yourself in a mirror and look at how crazy you sound if you really believe that.
Do you believe in an afterlife? Once again, I don't know. But studies suggest that consciousness could be separate from the physical body. Although in basic biology we can liken the way the brain works to electric signals transmitted in transistor circuits, that speed isn't just fast enough to account for the speed of thought, among others. Computer models are many orders of magnitude slower than needed to account for the speed of thought. A Neurologist has calculated that if the brain was a standard serial or a parallel computer, it would take more time than the age of the universe to perform all the necessary calculations associated with just one perceptual event. But if the brain were a quantum computer, it would try out all the various possible combinations of data arrangement at once, and thus, unify its experience. So, in essence, the brain operates very similar to how science theorizes a quantum computer to work even though quantum computers do not yet exist. So, try to fit this in with what we learned about quantum particles and see where I'm getting at. That consciousness could be said to exist separately from the body. That would perfectly explain the strange phenomena observed in verified cases of 'reincarnation'.

A lot of Christians say the old testament is just a metaphorical book. That the main guidelines are found in the new testament. What do you think? First off, its good to hear that some people are aware of that and are refusing the bloody, warmongering lifestyle of Yahweh. I wouldn't want to be around a person who followed that book word for word. In fact, anyone that tried that would be in jail. As for the new testament, the letters of Paul are trash. Most of them have been proven to be written in the medieval ages when the bible was being compiled. Apart from the analysis of the books, even the lingo used in the original text suggest a writing style of a more modern time than Paul. Is it any wonder why the Roman Catholic church destroyed all 'evidence' of the bible? What are they hiding? That aside, I kind of like that Jesus dude. Apart from the fact that he talks to trees and expects them to answer him among other crazy sh*t they claim he did, he has a very nice personality. As a humanist, he gives some good lifestyle examples. So apart from magic, if you being a Christian means you're trying to be like that guy then I have no problem with you. Remember I said APART FROM MAGIC. Please. The magic they claimed he performed is not real. 'Do not try this at home'. You cannot raise a dead body. Biologically it makes no sense. Stop asking church members to drink bleach. AND STOP BEING SO FUCKING ANNOYING. Get your sh*t out of politics. Get a noise permit for vigils, and the consent of the immediate neighborhood. Stop the 5am megaphone sh*t. Its annoying af. You should get what I mean.
So what is your moral framework? What do you live by? As explained by PastorAIO , morality is a part of us, as with all other social animals. Ants don't have the fear of hell yet they coexist together. All social animals do whatever is best for the continuation of their species and the guidelines for that are found in the UN Human Rights declarations. Our morality evolves. Some things we perceive as moral are also unique to our society. In a gerontocratic society like Nigeria, respecting you elders is seen as normal. So 'when in Rome'. Don't break the law, and be a humanist. Look out for your fellow man.
So why do you call yourself a Deist? Simply put, deism refers to a god that exists separate from this universe and doesn't directly interfere. If god interfered and you're thanking him for helping get to a meeting on time, or winning a football match, then I wonder what his priorities are when there are starving, dying people everywhere. Sometimes in my speech I tend to sound like an atheist, because I don't even think 'god' is demanding worship. If he was he'd have said so a long time ago. The god of most religions disappeared/went into hiding after the invention of the camera phone.
I've run out of questions to ask myself. Lol. You can ask me your questions and I'll answer with what I think. Peace.
Brother trust me forget Christianity follow Islamic channels on YouTube channels like talk Islam(I recommend you search purpose of life Islamic version), The merciful servant,N Noreeaga, Anonymous, Islam the ultimate peace etc. to make things easier ill just paste some links: WHO IS GOD
Are you, sane? Normal? Did you read the op? My opening statement says that this directed at people who are interested in knowing. If you were not then why the f*ck did you open this thread?? You people have problems, honestly.
d day u will have sense is when u understand and abide to dat last sentence i made in the previous post

I saw yo definition of god and reconciled it with your agenda against theists. Buh Why u mad bruh

You're also a liar. You didn't see my definition. You didn't even see anything. You just rushed to comment. If you did you wouldn't have posted the meme asking a question with the premise 'if life comes from from dead material', when I explicitly stated that I don't believe in that in the op. Also, I have no 'agenda' against theists. I only exposes contradictions and illogicality when I see it. If anything, I'm against theists that use their religion to hinder the progress of society.

Relax bruh You could save yo'self the stress by simply answering my first question then.
Contradictions and illogicalities that dont support your world views?
Do we have deeply religious societies that have progressed.

What was your equally stupid first question? How it feels to be talking about god all the time? I can't even imagine how out of the millions of chromosomes that exist, you happened to end up with the ones that leave you mentally retarded. Even in this religion section, people hardly talk about god. It's either you theists or crusading against atheism, or some atheist is raising up awareness about another contradiction found in your so called infallible book of life. Talk about god? I for one, am a deist and an agnostic one, so the few times I talk about god are when I'm actually watching for answers, or sharing what I've learned, as I did here, before you came to sh*t all over it with your raving madness. When I say contradictions I guess I have to further explain to you that I'm talking of contradicting statements within one book, which you call your Bible, which have nothing to do with my personal beliefs. Have you not assumed that I was an atheist before? Why? Because I never made mention of my personal beliefs. But your brain has been programmed to think that anyone that doesn't believe in your fairytales is an atheist.
Thank you for being the first person to come forward with something reasonable. First of all, I want to make you aware that new studies show that space is confined to three dimensions as proposed in classical Newtonian physics. Therefore it'll be unfair to completely analyses the relationship between consciousness and the brain based on only the physical brain which is a three dimensional object. *** Now, the mode of operation of the brain when observed is exactly like the transistor circuits in a computer. But, when a parallel computer was constructed based on the observed format of the brains observation, it was far too slow to account for things like the speed of thought. It was on par with the brain with physical actions like reflexes, physical movement, and so on, but the time taken to calculate just one perceptual event would take more than the age of the universe! There are scientifically verified OBE, such as these: http://www.newdualism.org/nde-papers/OBE-verifications.html and you can easily do a google search of the ones tested by actual scientists. A lot are fake, due to religious people misusuing this actual phenomenon to their advantage to claim they 'saw' this that validate their religion, but there are actual ones recorded in science journals. THIS would support the hypotheses that suggest that consciousness could account for the 'gap' in the human brain, and that it is a separate entity from the brain and not confined to the limits of Newtonian three dimensional space.
There is one thing we have to fully understand, we don't fully understand the brain yet. There are still things we don't get about the brain. So making a computer about our half baked knowledge of the brain could be problematic. And imploring an unknown and unproven factor to account for these gaps is also chaotic as it is not the true scientific method. ***** Let me now tell you why I think consciousness is a very physical phenomenon found both in humans and lower animals. What is consciousness the ability to be aware. We have 5 major senses that makes us aware and the brain interprets data from these senses. Our senses has been modified by natural selection to make us more fit to survive. But in lower animals, these senses are quite primitive. Take amoeba for example, if an amoeba is in an isotonic solution, it flourish but when it swims towards a hypertonic solution, the sensors at the pseudopodia sends a signal to the nucleaus (which is the brain of the cell) and alarms it that it is about to enter a danger zone. Making it AWARE of it's environment. But nature has a beautiful way of modifying us to be more fit for survival.
[quote author=UyiIredia post=49774585]I don't even believe the timescales[/qoute] There are trees in the world that are older than the reported age of the earth according to creationists. Watch the Bill Nye / Ken Ham debate.
but then even if it were true. The evidence clearly shows that organisms conserve their form.
Thousands of years of recorded history involving animals and observational evidence shows that organisms maintain their form. Even fossils of various organisms lime sharks, mosquitoes etc that are supposedly millions of years old are no different from their modern day counterparts. This shows organisms don't evolve. They maintain their form as encoded in their DNA.
And during your studies, where did u find the theory wanting
Poor mechanisms especially. Random mutations cannot make new organ systems or add meaningful new information to the DNA. Natural selection as a differential survival of better adapted species is overhyped.
