LordReed:As pa, the padi of the universe na. Whether they universe cares or not, how e take concern me. If the universe like make e get heart. I have stated the obvious which only a fool can deny. The universe is an intelligent design, meaning it has a designer. One who stops when it achieves a purposes. Okay according to you, the universe is soo mindless, yet it doesn't consistently repeat the same actions that brought about the so called created and evolution. I mean I would love to see human evolve from the dirt, seas, or pigs, like I see trees grow out of the ground. I mean it is just a simple mindless system that goes on forever, right? Who knows 20million years from now, pigs will be lecturing, (P.S not saying they don't currently) |

Tetehjewels:There are some people you don't waste spit arguing with. Just because they have a little change they are lulled into a false sense of bravado. I watched a youtube short video of elon musk recently... Even he did not come out to claim that God doesn't exist when asked in an interview e con be one local champion for nairaland. The fool has said in his heart that there is no God. That's what the bible said so go figure. As a parent, I was super impressed that you know your 7yr old and spend time with him enough to know his favorite cartoon. Pls keep up the good work. Do not let the foul spirit of this world sneak up and get hold of that fine young man. Cheers. 1 Like |

Matthew 5:45 “He makes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust,” That's a benevolent one. Jesus in that chapter was talking about loving your enemies and people. So we see how he relates the love of God to those who are not his too. God blesses the just and unjust. BlueAngel444: |

Tetehjewels: I know some of the responses are shocking.... I know... this is Nairaland. But think again, the scales are falling off the eyes of African youths. An improvement in African economy might be the death knell to these religions as you know them. If I might suggest, seek spirituality and quit religion. Use Christianity as the means to explore your inner energies. Be objective enough to sieve out the rubbish that don't align with common sense and natural laws. Let the Jewish, the Muslim, ye Buddhists, the traditionalist seek his spirituality his way..... these are are all means to experiencing our inner energies and truly none is superior. Love one another, help the poor, best way to recieve is to give, do not offend others, do not cheat or kill or harm another. These are natural laws not tied to any religion and our consciences align on these across human existence. Organised religion has ambiguities all over it that you cannot explain it away without sounding stupid 5 Likes |

BlueAngel444: Why do you think the only processes the universe has going on must repeat? And even if it does repeat your lifetime may be too small to witness a repeat. You are asking for a magic trick. Not anything I have said or alluded to. We don't know what kind of creatures will have evolved in 20 million years unfortunately we won't be around to see it. That is the nature of the universe. 1 Like |

StJohnofChrist:God already made the sun to rise and set na So when God sends a drought, has He stopped being benevolent or when in the "last days" the sun doesn't give it's light. Has someone taken His throne and over threw Him God loves because He is love. And because of that He destroys the wicked and saves the good. Because He is good. He gives the wicked opportunity to repent, because He is merciful. But He will still destroy evil, because He is just and judge of all. So whether the sun rises or rain falls, whether the wicked wake up tomorrow or He falls, how does that change God. The wicked will still perish, simple. 1 Like |

StJohnofChrist:Consequently one must choice between an infinite personal God who has always existed or lifeless impersonal matter. then one must assume that something material has existed from all eternity. This material would have come about without a cause. Therefore our choice is between an intelligent being who is self-existent and lifeless matter This is from the link you put, I like that the author is objective enough to entertain the other side of the argument but he never gave a valid reason as to why he picked God over lifeless matter. He only mentioned the bible and implied that it is better a personal God than impersonal matter. Again the latter is playing on emotions rather than facts But what if people don't mind it being impersonal matter. A poster above, I think havertz10 said something about entropy which really made sense. About the bible, is there anyway else you can prove or explain this outside the bible? Cos the Bible is not objective 1 Like |

LordReed:so cute and so amusing. Yet in the generational record of men, there is no such record. You could also say there was never such obversation. Besides I never asked u for magic nor so I care for tricks, but if you do allocate such existence of a mindless universe as a trick, I may as well agree with. Lol, being around is not where all this nonsense came from. But the obvious lack of evidence, trace to support this mindless theories. But it's not the first time men have made fatansies theories, and call it a possible way of looking at the world. With the obvious aim of overlooking the one thing they fear, the possibility of being punished for fvcking the earth up. Like whether God exists or not shouldn't bother anybody, except there is something worth being afraid of. Here is the fear, if the universe has a way to punish anyone for all they have done wrong. But that's absurd isn't it. It's not possible. Wait, do the same fools who disbelieve in God's existence also believe in the existence of higher forms of intelligence or extraterrestrials. Or do we believe that some how in the vast universe we are the only intelligent life form that exists. Lol, so we are the best evolution could cook up. Isn't that so sad |
