frosbel: I start with mine :

1. Using logic, reason and scientific evidence, kindly trace back to the beginning , the origin of MAN.

2. In your own words, describe how you think human reproductive organs evolved into what it is today

3. If we came from monkeys , how come we still have monkeys around today


Thanks,

Stalwert: Interesting,

Mine is why is it that there is almost total absent of intermediate species? Or fossils of intermediate species during the process of evolution?

[quote author=Logicboy03]

This shows how daft you and Goshen truly are. What kind of foolish questions are these?

1) Go and read evolution and the big bang. 5 years of nairaland with atheists you still ask this silly question? What does it cost you to read? Do you want us to spoon feed you hundreds of pages on evolution and the big bang in one comment?

2) Simple, we had hominid ancestors who had a similar reproductive system and some years and mutations later, we have a more complex reproductive system. This is the short story. If you want a longer story- GO AND READ AND RESEARCH YOURSELF

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18046752

3) Foolish question. We have a common ancestor with monkeys, not that we came from monkeys as such. Speciation. We split apart from this common ancestor as different species.

"LOVE YOUR ENEMIES"


INTRODUCTION

1. One of the more challenging commands given by Jesus is to love your
enemies...
a. Given in His sermon on the mount - Mt 5:43-44
b. Again in His sermon on the plain - Lk 6:27-28,35

2. Yet when taken to heart and applied properly, loving your enemies
can..
a. Bless and transform your own life
b. Truly make this world a better place

[Let's examine Jesus' command to love your enemies more closely by first
asking...]

I. WHO IS YOUR ENEMY?

A. ANYONE WHO CURSES YOU...
1. Who speaks ill about you or to you - Mt 5:44; Lk 6:28
2. Like Shimei did to David - cf. 2Sa 16:5-8,13

B. ANYONE WHO HATES YOU...
1. Who for some reason despises you - Mt 5:44; Lk 6:27
2. For either racial, political, religious, or personal reasons
- e.g., Jn 15:18-19

C. ANYONE WHO SPITEFULLY USES YOU...
1. Who abuses, treats despitefully, falsely accuses you - Mt 5:44;
Lk 6:28
2. To mistreat you in any way, like they did Jesus - Mt 27:27-30

D. ANYONE WHO PERSECUTES YOU...
1. Who prosecutes and pursues with repeated acts of enmity
(WordStudy) - Mt 5:44
2. Like Saul of Tarsus (Paul) did the Christians - Ac 8:3; 9:1-2;
22:4; 26:9-11; Ga 1:13

[Our enemy can be a family member, neighbor, co-worker, fellow-citizen,
or government representative (local or foreign). In other words, just
about anyone who does not like us. Now let's ask...]

II. WHY LOVE YOUR ENEMY?

A. TO BE LIKE GOD...
1. To be sons of our Father in heaven - Mt 5:45,48
2. Who is kind to evil and unthankful men - Lk 6:35-36; cf. Ro
5:8,10; Col 1:21

B. TO BE UNLIKE SINNERS...
1. Who love those who love them - Mt 5:46-47; Lk 6:32-33
2. Which is human nature, but we are to be partakers of divine
nature - cf. 2Pe 1:4; Ep 5:1-2

C. TO OVERCOME EVIL...
1. Not letting evil overcome you - Ro 12:20-21
a. "I will never let another man ruin my life by making me hate
him." - George Washington Carver
b. "Those who hate you don't win unless you hate them - and
then you destroy yourself." - Richard Nixon
2. Overcoming evil by doing good - Ro 12:20-21
a. "Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of
them?" - Abraham Lincoln
b. "Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy
into friend." - Martin L. King, Jr.

[The ultimate goal should be to transform our enemies into brethren (cf.
Ro 10:1). Is that not what God did with us? So let us now ask...]

III. HOW TO LOVE YOUR ENEMY?

A. BY BLESSING THEM...
1. As commanded by Jesus, Paul, and Peter - Mt 5:44; Ro 12:14; 1Pe
3:9
2. The word "bless" here means to "speak well of" or "speak well
to" - Barnes

B. BY DOING GOOD TO THEM...
1. As taught in both Covenants - Exo 23:4-5; Mt 5:44; Lk 6:27; Ga
6:10
2. Which has the potential of transforming our enemies - Pro
25:21-22; e.g., 2Ki 6:22-23

C. BY PRAYING FOR THEM...
1. As Jesus taught - Mt 5:44; Lk 6:28
2. As Jesus and His disciples exemplified - Lk 23:34; Ac 7:60; Ro
10:1

D. WITH ACTIVE GOOD WILL...
1. Which is the meaning of the word "love" (Gr., agape)
2. Beautifully defined by Paul - 1Co 13:4-8 (imagine treating
enemies like this!)

CONCLUSION

1. We are not commanded to love our enemies with affection in our
hearts...
a. Experienced in families (Gr., storge)
b. Expressed among friends (Gr., phileo)
c. Especially with brethren (Gr., philadelphia)

2. We are commanded to love our enemies with an act of the will...
a. Displaying active good will toward them (Gr., agape)
b. Blessing them, doing to good them, praying for them

However, where agape love is consistently shown it is not unusual for
phileo love to gradually develop. Even if not, we still have the duty
and privilege to be "sons of the Most High"...

For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived,
serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy,
hateful and hating one another. But when the kindness and the
love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of
righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He
saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of
the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through
Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His
grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal
life. -Titus 3:3-7

Logicboy03: @ Frosbel.

Evolution has not stopped. All animals evolve

Logicboy03: Furthermore, macroevolution takes a long time to occur- thousands of years.

frosbel:

how convenient.

admit it, you have no answers, no evidence, no facts, just wishes and dreams.

inspiredbyGOD:.:
Isn't evolution supposed to be accompanied by physical changes?
@logicboy, if animals are still evolving, some of their known features should be changing or should have changed by now right?
Dogs, cats, rats, lions, monkeys, zebras, hippos, cheetahs etc still look the same way they were thousands of years ago. Tell me, why is this so? Or are they exempted from evolution?

frosbel:

they actually found the missing link a few years ago called the Nebraska MAN.



It was eventually discovered to be a fraud , especially because , this missing link was constructed from a single tooth

so no, no missing link yet, they are still looking, lol.

Logicboy03:




If you are talking about a missing link then you are foolish. This has been addressed many times but creatards like you bring it up numerous times.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitional_fossil#Missing_links


One thing you would have to realise is that there are numerous human transitional fossils. Every living thing is a transitional fossil because we all evolve.

Stalwert:

Paleontologist Donald
Prothero noted that this is illustrated by
the fact that the number of species
known through the fossil record was less
than 5% of the number of known living
species, suggesting that the number of
species known through fossils must be
far less than 1% of all the species that
have ever lived.

- wikipedia

Maybe in your ignorance only men evolve but evolution speaks of all organism yet hardly 1% of such organism actually have intermediate fossil records, the bible know who the fool is between me and you!

Logicboy03: @ Frosbel.

Evolution has not stopped. [size=20pt]All animals evolve[/size]

Goshen360:

#Hand Raised up, Question signals#

Sir, please sorry for interruption. So how come animals that still evolves has not evolved into human beings if humans actually evolved from animals. How come we don't see that still happening anymore?

I do not mean to derail. You know I'm in the front sit still with my pop corn and my legs crossed.

Logicboy03: Furthermore, macroevolution takes a long time to occur- thousands of years.

Seriously? You were watching and you still asked this question?

frosbel:


Mate, we are waiting for proper , scientific and reasonable explanations to the questions asked.

Opt out answers, tantrums and insults are not recognized as valid answers.

If you are ignorant on how to respond , just stop embarrassing yourself and let others have a go !

Logicboy03:

Seriously? You were watching and you still asked this question?

[quote author=Logicboy03]


And what was scientifically wrong with my answers?

You ask foolish questions and when you are corrected, you ask them again. Some of you christians/muslims should be banned from asking questions on evolution unless yo guys have read about it and have a basic idea.

Imagine me asking twisted questions saying that Jesus is false without reading the bible. What would you response be? Read the bible, you hertic!

plaetton:
Besides,evolution is not an article of faith for atheists. We accept the theory of evolution simply because it makes a lot more sense to a rational mind than your seven days of creation,talking snake and forbidden apple fairy tales.
