More often than not, there is a negative correlation between intelligence and religiousity.

Though I wince to do so, I have to agree with u.

Amberon11:
Nonreligious people are almost always classified as atheists. And no Mark said he was never atheist and was even raised Jewish.

Not true. Many comventionally non-religious people actually state emphatically that they are/were not atheists, including Eistein.
You can be raised anything your parents are. All those years I never saw him refute.being.called an atheist.

adepeter2027:
lol. I don't tag myself atheist. In fact, if you ask if I'mpaerucult, I will say big NO


Publicly declaring one's disbelief could cos wahala in future.

I have to say I agree with u. I heavily suspect that's the case with Zuckerburg - I suspect his religiousity is political.
I mean when people have such sudden religious awackening they usually become fanatic adherents to.paticular religion - ala new islamic converts who become jihadists.

Amberon11:
Thrash!

Its obvious you're the one with the problem. Didn't I mention earlier that even Seun himself created the thread because he was hurt and in disbelief of Mark's very own words? Does the fact you saw another thread by different person negate Seun's thread?

Mark Zukerberg posted it on his Facebook account when asked so quit this senseless talk and stop making reference to my personal life , you don't know me.

This is my last response to you. I won't read nor reply you any further.

Instead of getting angry, why not simply enlighten us. I read all those earlier years Mark being refered to as atheist - not once all those years do I recall.him refuting.it.

Amberon11:
Lied because of who? Lol, you're just all butthurt that your demigod denounced being atheist. Heck, even Seun vented out his frustrations that day, I recall vividly.

Fact is Mark is NOT atheist and he made that clear so don't try to assume what's not.

Mark saying he is not an atheist is not same as Mark saying he was NEVER an atheist. All those years he never denied being an atheist when refered to as one.

Seems Mark Zukerberg's religious affiliation gives y'all migraines.

I recommend Aspirin tho.

... but they are seeking eternal life by pumping money into eternality research ...so what do you think is

Back in 1988, Rod Stewart belted it out at the top of his lungs: "Forever young, forever young!"

So did the lesser known German synthpop band Alphaville, singing: "Forever young, I want to be forever young. Do you really want to live forever? Forever, and ever."

Here's the music video, but don't watch too much of it or your mind will start to age dramatically:



Those songs aren't just a throwback to the awesome 80's. "Forever Young" appears to have become the personal quest for a number of Silicon Valley billionaires and other elites who are pumping big bucks into efforts to live forever.

Their collective dream is a powerful reminder of the deep ache for eternity that resides in the heart of every person.

I would argue that ache is actual proof of an afterlife, that every human spir[b][/b]it innately knows there should be something more.

Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page must be feeling it. They spent more than a billion dollars to create Calico Labs to research ways to battle the inevitable.

Oracle's Larry Ellison is also on a quest for man-made eternal life, reportedly spending $430M on immortality research.

And Amazon's billionaire businessman Jeff Bezos is funneling millions into Unity Biotechnology, a company on a mission to find ways "to slow - or stop - the aging process or enable immortality."

Meanwhile, PayPal founder Peter Thiel has also given cash to Unity, as well as Alcor, a cryogenic company which freezes people's bodies in the hopes that one day a cure can be found for death.

"Last fall, Unity raised a hundred and sixteen million dollars from such investors as Jeff Bezos and Peter Thiel, billionaires eager to stretch our lives, or at least their own, to a span that Thiel has pinpointed as 'forever,'" the New Yorker reports.



According to numerous media reports, Thiel is also very interested in the possibility that injecting blood from young people into older people could be part of an anti-aging solution.

"That practice is known as parabiosis, and, according to Thiel, it's a potential biological Fountain of Youth--the closest thing science has discovered to an anti-aging panacea," Inc.com reports.

It's not just the Silicon Valley billionaire crowd who are hoping to achieve man-made eternal life.

The New Yorker reports about a gathering which included Hollywood elites like Goldie Hawn, in Norman Lear's living room, speaking to a Nobel Prize winner about a powerful antioxidant nicknamed the "God Molecule."

No need to go on and on and on. You get the picture.

Sure, I get what these people are after. If I didn't have anything to look forward to beyond this world, my dozens of dollars would be right there with those billionaires' big bucks.

And maybe in the midst of this quest for man-made eternal life, some good research will actually help find cures for diseases. But I know one thing for sure. No matter how much science advances, everyone will have to face death at some point. What comes after that is up to you.

"People are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment. So Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many," Hebrews 11:27-28 says.

Of course, death and eternal life are at the crux of Christianity, and the Bible cuts right to the heart of the matter on many occasions.

So how can we have eternal life, with or without a billion dollars?

Jesus said in John 17:3, "This is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent."

And Jesus boldly declared in John 11:25, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die."

There it is. The cure for death.

Jesus also said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me." He didn't say He was "a way" or "one of many truths" or "one possible source of life." He said THE way, THE truth, THE life.

No one is guaranteed tomorrow. But everyone is

Wrong! Those scholars you quoted were not religious and most not radical if they belong to some sect.

Most of the ancient scholars pledge their outward belief to religion to evade consequences of going against it (a case study of Galileo Galilee who was punished for going against the church).

Same thing is still applicable in our world especially in Nigeria. Most often than not, we that doesn't belong to any religion sect were always labeled bad and deprived of some civic benefits and responsibilities, therefore we always change coat to suit our society as need be (that doesn't mean we belief).

Don't be surprised to see most of these professed atheist online as pastors in real world (they are only scared of their society).

d reason wy almost all tech giants are nonreligious is actualy quite simpu and here goes:
religion necesarily entail d beliv in a superhuman being/deity that has d power to influenc one's life and solv one's problems. consequently, a religios person makes less use of his intelectual ability and critical thinking skil to take charge of his life and solv whateva problem he/she is besieged with; he merely prays to a god/godes 4 solutn 2 a problem he cud actualy solv himsef.
on d other hand, an irreligious person fundamentaly doesn't rely on any sky dady or water mumy or ancestral spirit to solve his problems. henc, he is forced to maximaly utilize d most valuable tool in his posesion (his intelectual power) to figure out solutions to his problems ; and this has proved to be far more efficacious than praying to a deity.
i'm yet to see a technological invention or innovation, or any practica solution to a problem, that was born out of praying to a god!!!
