I forgot to add your bwahahaha and LMFAO.
Those are meaningless and pointless.

Nobel prize controversy you read in a hurry and picked out what you WANTED TO SEE despite the article showing you severally what transpired. Keep deluding yourself.

Obviously you don’t know why you are godless.
Obviously science did not make you godless.
Obviously science said nothing about God and the supernatural.

Therefore your objections to Christianity must be plain emotional.

Maybe I will also need 5 scientists to assist you.

LMAO! Yes the 5 scientists you need to name who say science has disproved god. What's the matter? Can't find some badly written article on the Web that you can twist? Bwahahahahaha!

I say you speak first and read later.
It’s up to you to read and make up your mind on what transpired in the controversy surrounding Einstein’s Nobel prize. And to say you didn’t even know the technicalities in the delay by 1 year is amazing.

I won’t comment on the arbitrariness and subjectivity of the panelists.

“There were a bunch of reasons why Einstein was never given a Nobel Prize. Being Jewish and pacifist were big ones. The Nobel committee didn’t want to honor someone who was so outside the mainstream. The biggest reason, however, was that he was a theoretical physicist. The prize had, up until this point, primarily been given to people who proved things through experimentation.

In 1919, evidence for the General Theory of Relativity was finally found during a solar eclipse when British astronomer Arthur Stanley Eddington detected light from stars which was bent by the gravity of the sun.

Everyone figured that 1920 would be the year when Einstein finally won his Nobel Prize. Instead, the award was given to Charles Edouard Guillaume “in recognition of the service he has rendered to precision measurements in Physics by his discovery of anomalies in nickel steel alloys”.

Yeah, Guillaume was just as surprised as everyone else that he won.

Well, OK. Maybe there wasn’t enough time for the result to sink in. Surely, 1921 would be the year that Einstien would win, right?

In 1921, they gave the Nobel Prize in Physics to no one. Yeah, they decided to give it to no one, rather than give it to Einstein.

The attitude of the Nobel committee was summed up by one Allvar Gullstrand, a Swedish ophthalmologist who sat on the physics committee. In his diaries, found long after his death, he wrote of the 1921 physics prize, “Einstein must never receive a Nobel Prize, even if the whole world demands it.”

By 1922, the Nobel Committee was looking ridiculous in the eyes of the world and in the eyes of the physics community for not giving Einstein a prize.

The rules of the prize stipulate that if no one were given an award in the sciences, it would roll over to the next year. So in 1922, they could retroactively give the 1921 prize.

The committee determined that they had to give the award to Einstein to maintain their respectability in the scientific world. It was just a matter of what they were going to give it to him for. This was probably the only time in the history of the Nobel when the winner was determined before the reason for the award.

In 1922 the nominations poured in again, and again there were dozens of nominations for Einstein and the General Theory of Relativity. However, there was one nomination for Einstein which wasn’t for relativity. Carl Wilhelm Oseen, a Swedish physicist, nominated Einstein for his work in discovering the photoelectric effect.

The committee decided to give Einstein the 1921 award, which wasn’t given out the previous year and give the 1922 award to Niels Bohr who developed the theory of the atom. By giving an award to Einstein and Bohr at the same time, it eliminated having to give one to Einstein by himself.

So Einstein won his Nobel Prize, but it explicitly was not for relativity. In fact, when he was notified by the Nobel Committee they stated:

… the Royal Academy of Sciences has decided to award you last year’s Nobel Prize for physics, in consideration of your work in theoretical physics and in particular your discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect, but without taking into account the value which will be accorded your relativity and gravitation theories after these are confirmed in the future.

They left the door open for a future prize, but none was ever given.

Einstein didn’t really care much about the prize. He didn’t attend the prize ceremony because he was lecturing in Japan. All the money he won went to his ex-wife in a previous divorce settlement. Later in his life when he was asked which honors he was more proud of, he put the German Physical Society’s Max Planck Medal first and didn’t mention the Nobel Prize at all.

Something you talked about for over 3 days is what you deny now?

Wow! That’s a damn hard record you break each time with lies and falsehood.

I am surprised we didn’t need 5 scientists to help you respond to this.

“They argued two very different positions regarding the observations of electrons behaving as a particle in some experiments and a wave in others, even though an electron shouldn’t be able to be both...

Even with their opposing theories, both were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922: Bohr for his atomic model, and Einstein for his work on the photoelectric effect (instead of his then-controversial theory of relativity). So how did the two physicists receive prizes for the same thing in the same year? Einstein was actually awarded the 1921 prize a year late, due to a technicality.“

I said severally that sometimes you write much but miss the point. I repeatedly pointed out my points in our discourse. Possibly we were saying same thing in different ways.

If we are saying the same thing in different ways we ought to be intelligent enough to recognise it, right?

There is good science and bad science because there are good scientists and bad scientists just as there are good and bad pastors and humans. And just as it is silly to judge God by pastors, good or bad, or humans by the few bad, so is it stupid to judge science by the bad scientists. It would also be false to claim there are more bad scientist and pastors and humans than the numerous good ones plodding away at their professions.

Science, is the use of one's senses, and in the West at least it can't really be separated from religion which fostered it despite the few Giordano Brunos who might have been burnt at the stake. There's a reason many will like to migrate there instead of remain in Nigeria

What gets me with this topic is the failure of many to realise that religions teach use your senses science, and I am saying this despite the numerous antiscience verses that instead promote belief. Contradiction, no? Just as not many will read a story about the tortoise and the rabbit and miss the lesson taught but believe the tortoise and rabbit, so should religious text readers not merely believe, but ask and knock and see in order to understand. In Islam, the senses are even washed 5 times a day to remind one to use them properly, but in our ignorance its like we try to clean them with mud and thereby make our senses unusable and consequently ourselves stupid and ignorant and we tremble like Adams instead of evolving into Eves.

We as a nation can't "Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and all the living things that move on the earth", unless we use our senses to do science. And only by using our senses will we be blessed. One just need go check out the technological advancements of the nation that God is said to have favoured most to see what Science has helped them achieve.

When we stop fearing we'd die if we eat the fruits of trees of knowledge, greater things will we do.

We aren’t discussing good and bad science or good and bad religion or good and bad philosophy. Those exist. After all all professions are drawn from frail humans.

The human elements of subjectivity in sciences have been established.

I don’t understand what anti-science verses mean if you claim science is seek,knock and find. Isn’t everyone seeking and knocking and finding in the universe?

There is a big difference in disobeying God ( moral failure) in eating a forbidden fruit and in taking a big leap to dominate the earth by trial and error or efforts.

I wouldn’t know whether you advocate for disobedience to God in a bid to explore. That’s what led to Adam and Eve’s sin. God already commanded them to dominate. They could have achieved domination of their natural habitat without eating the fruit.

Humans are subjective by nature. You should laugh at my ignorance if I claim to be objective. I can try of course, but do not believe I can completely remove my subjective self that attempts to be objective.

That's why there's the scientific method. No science develops subjectively. If it could, the Comforter would be sent to an objective few instead of to the entire subjective human race.

First, it wouldn't be disobeying God, but disobeying what some wrote in a book and claimed God said. I am a scientist so expect me to ask and knock and seek with the senses I have been given.

Second, if a God places buda naked in a Garden of Eden and tells buda not to eat the fruits of knowledge, buda will ask why not.

"Is it so I can remain an ignorant slave in your garden, God, instead of 'Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and all the living things that move on the earth'" ?

I guess I can recognise the difference between a poxy tiny garden, and the earth I am supposed to subdue.

Go see how almanjeris are created. It might help you understand my very subjective understanding, as opposed to believing what some claim is objective.

As I said, disobedience to what some have written in a book. And note how you say, "bid to explore" instead of "ask and seek and knock" that we have been using all along. Are you trying to avoid the obvious contradiction between the Garden of Eden God, and Christ of the Gospels, I wonder.

No God tells buda to work in a poxy garden after being told to rule over the entire universe! And if I do not surely die on the day I decide to seek knowledge, the God who lied to me can not be buda's God because I just can't do the wuruwuru to convince myself that people who went on to live another 800 or so years died on the day that they ate what they were told would kill them.

Please know that I am in no way attempting to force my subjective understanding on you, as you have accused me of doing. I fully recognise that you have your own subjective understanding too, and I would not want you to burn in hell with buda if that is buda's reward for what you call "disobedience to God".

That’s not true. The illustration is incongruous with what I said.

These below happened before the fall. They didn’t need to sin first before fulfilling the command to take charge and take dominion.
You misinterpret the Bible.

“And God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it [using all its vast resources in the service of God and man]; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth. And God said, See, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the land and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food. And to all the animals on the earth and to every bird of the air and to everything that creeps on the ground–to everything in which there is the breath of life–I have given every green plant for food. And it was so.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:28-30‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

“And out of the ground the Lord God formed every [wild] beast and living creature of the field and every bird of the air and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them; and whatever Adam called every living creature, that was its name. And Adam gave names to all the livestock and to the birds of the air and to every [wild] beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found a helper meet (suitable, adapted, complementary) for him.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2:19-20‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

A proof of pointlessness

You are always confused. Why is that?

Humans are subjective by nature. You should laugh at my ignorance if I claim to be objective. I can try of course, but do not believe I can completely remove my subjective self that attempts to be objective.

That's why there's the scientific method. No science develops subjectively. If it could, the Comforter would be sent to an objective few instead of to the entire subjective human race.


Everyone is not "seeking and knocking and finding in the universe". Many merely believe, and thereby tremble.


First, it wouldn't be disobeying God, but disobeying what some wrote in a book and claimed God said. I am a scientist so expect me to ask and knock and seek with the senses I have been given.

Second, if a God places buda naked in a Garden of Eden and tells buda not to eat the fruits of knowledge, buda will ask why not.

"Is it so I can remain an ignorant slave in your garden, God, instead of 'Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and all the living things that move on the earth'" ?

I guess I can recognise the difference between a poxy tiny garden, and the earth I am supposed to subdue.

Go see how almanjeris are created. It might help you understand my very subjective understanding, as opposed to believing what some claim is objective.


As I said, disobedience to what some have written in a book. And note how you say, "bid to explore" instead of "ask and seek and knock" that we have been using all along. Are you trying to avoid the obvious contradiction between the Garden of Eden God, and Christ of the Gospels, I wonder.

No God tells buda to work in a poxy garden after being told to rule over the entire universe! And if I do not surely die on the day I decide to seek knowledge, the God who lied to me can not be buda's God because I just can't do the wuruwuru to convince myself that people who went on to live another 800 or so years died on the day that they ate what they were told would kill them.

Please know that I am in no way attempting to force my subjective understanding on you, as you have accused me of doing. I fully recognise that you have your own subjective understanding too, and I would not want you to burn in hell with buda if that is buda's reward for what you call "disobedience to God".

Entertaining piece.

I appreciate the fact that these are your personal subjective thoughts on what the Christians should be doing.
It is not. We believe the Bible completely as the word of God and will obey the commands of God in the Bible. We have questions just like any human has but have learnt from experience that some answers might come now while some we will never know at this side of the divide until we meet our savior Jesus Christ when he will come to judge the quick and the dead.

That’s what we believe.

Religious beliefs are different from scientific methods where subjective humans try to apply empirical data to describe the nature around them in the way they think they understand. The scientific understanding changes as the natural conditions change. However eternal truths from the Bible are eternal and unchangeable.

If you want to bad religion and bad science, then mix religion and science.
