Logicboy03:death is also a paradox then. It doesn't apply to living things. |

I think God would agree with Logicboy, Mr. Troll, doraox, and others with like thoughts on the space program funding issue. IMO. |

Mr Troll: Okay. Is this theory some kind of joke that doesn't exist? I looked on Mazaje's profile. I didn't fine it. I did a search. Nothing but people talking about it. Are you sending me on a snipe hunt here? If it exists, post a link please. |

Mr Troll: Yes I know how to browse. I did. Anyway, thank you for the link. I would tell you why OLADEGBUU and Jesoul are both correct, but you would only say that I have simply SPAGed. |

Deep Sight: Mr dear friend, You grossly underestimate the power of mockery. But if you read my posts very well, you should notice that I do not mock just for the fun of it. For, lo and behold, Within my mocking works are embedded deep questions and lessons on existentialism. There is no reason why I should have to define my worldview on your terms, or your preferred nomenclature, since, we all know, that I could never be a match for your loquacious bombasity. You seem to design and create your universe with fancy words, and I dismantle your creation with meatballs and Santa Claus . So, what's the big deal? lol All I am saying is that if your proposition is right that an agent outside of the universe was the first caused of the big bang, then fine. Just be open minded enough to consider that it could have been anything, including and most likely a spaghetti meatball. If you dispute that, then be prepared to show proof that it was not a meatball that caused the big bang. 1 Like |

Deep Sight: And thank you for the history lesson on the origin and evolution of Santa Claus. I hope it did not escape your brilliant mind, the glaring lesson embedded in the Santa Claus story, Vis a vis, How the tales an individual that may or may not have lived, evolved over time, became conflated with mythical gods, mythical god-like attributes, and then became accepted as real by the feeble-minded and child-like multitudes. So, rightly said, the evolution of Santa Claus mirror the evolution of God, all gods and all mythical figures. Aside from the fact that one set is for adults and the other set is for children, what is the difference? The bible says that " a fool sayeth in his heart there is no God". But also, " A fool sayeth in his heart there is no Santa Claus". |

^^^ Oh my Lawd. I really expected much better. Quit hanging around Mr. Troll and LB. It's really telling on you. Help yourself - (4) you are trying to say that any attribute can be attributed to a mythical character (in which case you both avoid the fundamental question of existence and non-existence, as well as the fact that both "mythical" characters are well defined with specific "mythical" attributes. Just as surely as the "mythical Sango" is very well delineated from the "mythical Yemanja".) Oh, and pay attention to the bold. Santa, Sango, Zeus, Allah, Yahweh and Yemanja, regardless: the question in bold remains for eternity. That question, is what is to be discussed, and not trivia such as the attributes of Santa. BTW: Just a note: you will never convince any serious person that you are even remotely serious if you carry on with your tattle about meatballs, flying spaghetti monsters, and the like. Frankly, seriously, and with every respect: they are the most puerile, juvenile non-starters, and only communicate to your co-discussant that you are not ready for anything serious or worthwhile. Like - seriously. You are however, of course free to turn yourself into LB or Mr. Troll. A sad loss of a fine mind it would be, but stranger things have been known to happen. GET SERIOUS. 2 Likes 1 Share |

^^^ C'mon Depardo, lol, look around this forum and tell me who is here to contemplate the deeper meanings of existence. Is it the tithe tithe merchants, the trinitarians( buy one god and get two free) , the apocalyptics, the prophets, the hell returnees or the rapture-ready( waiting for spaceship Jesus) ? Stop kidding yourself. This is the religilous section, where important questions about demonic possessions, demonic text messages, the money-loving devourers, and angry gods take front page. No one here cares about your deeper existential questions. That is too hard, like calculus. Besides, the bible has long settled that issue for homo religilous. |

Back to the Topic. To many of you, let me say that a Space Program does not carry an opportunity cost. Aside from being a magnet for innovative thinking, it fosters and ignites the infinite potentials of the human imagination. This may sound funny, but it is exactly the kind of social re-engineering that our country needs, a country most of you know, that is presently populated by potential geniuses who have been sold the bogey that the earth and the life on earth are useless, and who daily look onto the sky for a magical/spiritual spaceship to beam them into an unknown place in the sky. A space program with a dream would certainly give Nigerians, not all, but the young, undoubtably the most important Nigerians, a chance to dream, to imagine, to calibrate their thoughts and minds towards an exciting and adventurous future of possibilities. To say that this or that should be our priority is lazy. For 52 yrs , Nigeria has had all the money and all the opportunity to defeat poverty and ignorance, and there is no guarantee that we might ever make a reasonable headway in the near future. whilst we continue to vigorously fight that particular fight, we must also push on other fronts. I repeat, USA, Russia, the EU and other newly minted space faring nations are not going to space to take pictures. They are laying the foundations for the next frontiers of human existence. The sooner we realize this , the sooner we wake up and carve our own destiny, otherwise, we will remain the left-behind people, and it's going to be De Ja Vu all over again. |

plaetton: Back to the Topic.What you just said is wishful thinking. You seem to be ignoring the problem of corruption that has been the bane of Nigeria's existence. There is not a parastatal in Nigeria that is not a conduit for siphoning public funds,adding a government run space program to the list of government parastatals would just be viewed by those in charge as one more way to reward themselves. Unlike NEPA, Water Board, Ministry of Works, etc which offer tangible services that are critical to the welfare of the majority of Nigerians, a space program offers no tangible service neither is it critical to the welfare of the general population. So if you consider NEPA and co to have failed despite the pressure from the public to improve, what makes you think that a space program would fare better with no pressure from the public and no way of judging its performance? The fact that it is for science does not exclude it from the Nigerian factor. |

@plaetton, if we don't address the issue of corruption, everything we do, especially ones that involve a lot of money will be like pouring water inside a basket. Also, we need to have a coherent vision and purpose in Nigeria. Do we have a Nigerian dream? |
