cyrexx:I don't remember plaetton asking me any questions. By the way I wonder what counts as an absurdity to you if you are quite comfortable with the clear logical incoherency of something coming from nothing. |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by Nobody: 3:26pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
plaetton: I am not one to run away from debates or questions within reason, but the purpose of this thread was to ask you and your atheist cohorts questions for the benefit of all and sundry. This is not a Christian answer and question article, raise a new one for this purpose if you may. In the mean time, it appears the questions asked so far have not received satisfactory answers from your so called expert atheist scientists. You keep referring us to web sites and other sources other than your own knowledge, is this not because you are all void of the required information needed to defend your shaky and fanciful ideas ? If you are so certain and confident of your stance , based on the information you have , why cower in the face of our demands that you explain some simple concepts which are alternatives to the story of creation. Alas, you cannot , you all have failed big time , and I dare say I speak on behalf of others , when I say we are quite disappointed. |

And this is creationism that anony, frosbel are rationalising and believing over modern scientific discoveries.
|
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by Nobody: 3:30pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
frosbel: lol......of course, we all fail gladly when dubious questions are asked. I accept this failure, Frosbel. A creationist marking evolution papers? |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by plaetton: 3:37pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
frosbel:First, i have not heard anyone on this forum describe themselves as atheist-scientist. You hate atheists and you dont understand sceience. That is your problem. So this is a surrender? I hope everyone is taking note. Frosbel has been publicly flogged. He does not know and does not have the humility to admit so. Ndo o. |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by Nobody: 3:45pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
plaetton: First off , I return your Ndo to sender If you do not know science , the least you can do is to have a grip on the main issues and possess a foundational knowledge required to support and even defend your position. You have to admit that you practice blind faith , because you are yet to provide us theists with any factual evidence required to convert us to your school of thought. Just to reiterate you cannot support a position , and not be able to defend it, even a child understands this basic logic. |

Can I just ask any atheist here to explain the irrationality of religion in ONE sentence... Not a long essay, just sum up your opinion on religion. Thank you. |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by plaetton: 4:07pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
frosbel: Convert? isn't that a religious word? You still dont get it, do you? I doubt that anyone is out here to convert you. Atheism is a rejection of fairy tales by the simple application of common sense. We do not need to write a scientific or cosmological treatise to justify unbelief in things that are contradictory and absurd. Here are some of my reasons for my common sense (not scientific treatise) atheistic viewpoints. 1. The universe was not, and could not have been created in 7 days 2. Scientific dating, fossil and geological evidence evidence point the fact that the earth is 4.7 billion yrs old. 3. Same evidence as above point to the fact that humans, modern humans , have been on earth for about 250,000 yrs. 4. same evidence point to the fact that similar species of humans, e.g Neantherthals, preceded or co-existed with modern humans in the remote past. 5. That there exists no evidence to speculate or suggest that snakes might have been able to talk at any time history. 6. No one has ever seen, heard or recorded god. there is no puppet master controlling the affairs of the universe. the universe is swinging along fine on its own as far everyone can see. 7. As far we know so far, it appears that the universe evolved from primordial electromagnetic energy(if you wanna call it god, suit yourself). How, when and why? We are still trying to find out. 8.The belief and worship of god by ancient man is quite understandable. They knew nothing about anything. The belief and worship of god by modern man, is just a cop out, a laziness and refusal to exercise their mind to investigate. It is now your turn to debunk all 8 points and show me how foolish I am. |

Plaetteon I must admit, your argument is quite rational... ...however one of your statements caught my eye. plaetton: Do you know this from personally carried out experiments and lab work? Or is this statement born of study of other peoples work - literature, web resources, e.t.c.... ? 1 Like |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by Nobody: 4:18pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
Chedarking: Plaetteon I must admit, your argument is quite rational... fair question |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by Nobody: 4:18pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
Chedarking: Plaetteon I must admit, your argument is quite rational... waiting for his answer ! |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by plaetton: 4:22pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
Chedarking: Plaetteon I must admit, your argument is quite rational... That is what is scientifically accepted. Meaning the tests and experiments have been carried out, peer reviewed, duplicated, and then accepted as genuine. Now if in the future, someone, perhaps you, come out with a better dating method and new age for the earth, it would go through the same scientific process before it is accepted. Science has the beauty of upgrading itself . If I might add, that there is nothing holy sacred or special about science and scientist. Anyone, you or I or Frosbel, if we have the tools and the knowhow, can dublicate the experiments and get the same results. No divine revelation involved or required. |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by plaetton: 4:25pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
frosbel: Unlike You Frosbel, i do not run away from questons. The worst that can happen is to say that I do not know simply because I have no god to defend.. |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by Chedarking: 4:26pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
plaetton: Agreed. But perhaps you did not understand my question. Have YOU personally done any tests that have been peer reviewed, duplicated, and accepted as genuine? Or did you make your assertion on the back of what other researchers have pronounced genuine? |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by Nobody: 4:29pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
[quote author=plaetton] hmm not according to the hypocrite called Richard Dawkins. You still dont get it, do you? The Mlitant atheists are , no ? I have evidence , but will wait for your lie before I respond. Atheism is a rejection of fairy tales by the simple application of common sense. What can be more absurd than believing in unproven theories ? Atheists are not able to agree on various principles and ideas, in fact some atheists bastardize the concept of atheism by believing in an intelligent designer, even Richard Dawkins your prophet has refused to discount this possibility, talk less of his common clueless followers Here are some of my reasons for my common sense (not scientific treatise) atheistic viewpoints. Why ? Submit your reasons fully backed with evidence. 3. Same evidence as above point to the fact that humans, modern humans , have been on earth for about 250,000 yrs. proof please ! 4. same evidence point to the fact that similar species of humans, e.g Neantherthals, preceded or co-existed with modern humans in the remote past. co-existed with modern humans ? That's a new one. By the way what evidence do you posses that will prove beyond reasonable doubt that Neantherthals existed ? 5. That there exists no evidence to speculate or suggest that snakes might have been able to talk at any time history. I am sure that was the only ONE snake that talked since time immemorial The snake must have talked by diabolical possession , in other words the snake did not actually talk, the snake was a medium used by another higher force for expression. 6. No one has ever seen, heard or recorded god. there is no puppet master controlling the affairs of the universe. the universe is swinging along fine on its own as far everyone can see. I have personally heard GOD speak to me , that debunks the nonsense your just spouted above. 7. As far we know so far, it appears that the universe evolved from primordial electromagnetic energy(if you wanna call it god, suit yourself). How, when and why? We are still trying to find out. How did evolution begin, what was the initiator of this process ? 8.The belief and worship of god by ancient man is quite understandable. They knew nothing about anything. The belief and worship of god by modern man, is just a cop out, a laziness and refusal to exercise their mind to investigate. Why should we exercise our minds to believe in your fantasy ? |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by Nobody: 4:31pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
Chedarking: Why would someone need to do lab results or research when such work has been done, replicated, scrutinized and explained in detail? This is the same foolish question you asked me and then ran away. |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by plaetton: 4:32pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
Chedarking: I think You know the answer to that question before you asked it. No, I have not done that particular experiment. I have no need to. i have absolute confidence in the Scientific Method. As a science student, I performed many scientific experiments in the lab to arrive at same conclusions as other scientists. |

Logicboy03:am guessing there wasnt africans too. Kai! |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by Nobody: 4:36pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
plaetton: What a deceived fellow, how can you have absolute confidence in a scientific method that has proven nothing ? Instead this bogus scientific method of yours has raised more questions than answers . Why are we no nearer to the truth with all the research , scientific analysis and investigations carried out by thousands of scientists ? Why should we continue to live a meaningless life while waiting for these clueless ones to tell us why we are here, how we came to be and where we are going. The answer is simple, they do not have the answers and never will. |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by Chedarking: 4:37pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
plaetton: If you haven't conducted the experiment yourself, how do you know that the proponents of this theory ARE NOT ALL LYING? Mind, I'm not saying that the esteemed astrophysicists and their papers are false... I'm just asking...how do you know they're not? |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by plaetton: 4:39pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
Frosbel has really gone koo koo this new year. For some reason, I never realized that you were so infantile in your reasoning. No wonder you are all over the place. If god is talking to you, well, according to modern psychiatry, you have a common neurosis. The good news is that there is a medication for that. |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by Nobody: 4:40pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
BĂ©lla3: am guessing there wasnt africans too. Kai! dafuq? |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by Nobody: 4:42pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
plaetton: Frosbel has really gone koo koo this new year. well for one I do not hear voices I perceive the same small still gentle, kind and loving voice from within my heart , that millions of Christians have also witnessed. Remember GOD does not talk to FOOLs. So why do you want to discount my experience, is that not arrogance ? |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by plaetton: 4:43pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
Chedarking: I will not condenscend to that level with you. There is something called the scientific method, have you heard of it? My favourite saying is this, " The pre-eminence of any system , or process, can be measured by the quality of its output". The scientific method has proven itself over the past 300 yrs or so. Every thing that you enjoy today is testimony of the pre-eminence of the scientific method. Need I say more? |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by Nobody: 4:44pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
frosbel: your spiritual experience is personal and subjective.....can not be taken as a valid objective piece of evidence |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by Nobody: 4:45pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
Logicboy03: But this has been experienced by millions of other Christians, what do you think Sir. LogicBoy. |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by Nobody: 4:48pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
It has not gone without my notice , that all the hot air been blown by plaetton has exhausted it's supply , for he has refused to respond to some of the more difficult questions posed to him in previous comments. Could he be hiding ignorance ? |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by Nobody: 4:48pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
frosbel: What does God/Jesus look like...would you and milllions of other christians give me the same answser? |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by Bella3(f): 4:49pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
frosbel:LOL... the name sounds nice! |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by Chedarking: 4:52pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
plaetton: Plaetton... I beg your indulgence... I am fully aware of the scientific method... I just ask...How do you know that the scientific method was followed in this case? Afterall, many so called scientific theories have been proven to be false... How do you know that this is not the case here? |
Re: Place all your difficult questions for Nairaland atheists here by plaetton: 4:54pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
frosbel: It has not gone without my notice , that all the hot air been blown by plaetton has exhausted it's supply , for he has refused to respond to some of the more difficult questions posed to him in previous comments. I dont know what questions you are referring to. You are the Hussain Bolt of this forum. lol I have no shame in being ignorant about something. Here is another of my favourite sayings: "He knows not who knows that he knows not, is a child, teach him. But he knows not, who knows not that he knows not, is a fool, scorn him". |
