Very possible.

Bayern lost the match. More or less a friendly game. But Tuchel needs to work on the team fast and achieve a better performance this season.

Workch:
Who's a kid?
Lol, I may be old enough to be your father with the way you insult people ate every opportunity. The only matured atheist here is LordReed, you and manynman are acting like babies.

LordReed is one of the very few atheists here that visit the religion section regularly at this period I'm always willing to engage because he demonstrates high intelligence on a range of issues and doesn't he force things showing his maturity.

Interacting with such people adds to one's knowledge.

Those m.orons you've been engaging want to win any arguments at all cost showing their intelligence level is low.

They sleep and wake up on Nairaland forum every day, and engaging in silly debates on Nairaland is their daily job.

I know they'll start bombarding me with mentions now. I've not even opened their silly mentions of yesterday.

When I'm less busy, na to bin them all.

Unnecessary mentions binned. Keep wasting wasting away your youth in my mentions.

Some morons keep mentioning me unnecessarily. I no get work like you now, so I'll be sleeping and waking on Nairaland just to engage in silly arguments.

The highly intelligent ones that really have something upstairs hardly post on Nairaland. It's those with empty brains going from one thread to the other to post nonsense all day.

Make una build house for Nairaland and be discussing all sorts of "isms". Mere waste of time

Workch:
Pure atheism is the most unreasonable. It's the ultimate sciolism.

Sciolism is worse than ignorance

Well said.

jaephoenix:
Nah. Those dudes are theists or deists. Its a spectrum. The OP lies on the theist side of that spectrum while Workch, Wilgrea, Triplechoice,A001 are spread out with Wilgrea tilting towards the most athestic extreme.
Agnostism is a joke of a word

The issue of whether God exists or not is settled for me. So, I don't see the point in all these debates on Nairaland.

For now and in the foreseeable future, agnosticism is the most reasonable path as far as I'm concerned whether it tilts toward theism, deism or atheism.

Pure atheism is an ignorant position, just like theism. Both are the same sides of the same coin.

But deism is still reasonable.

This Sri Lankan man is not far from the truth. The world is never balance. The rich keep oppressing the poor.

This is what France's State own Areva is doing in Niger.

The speaker made salient points. But the problem of Africa is actually deeper and it all boils down to one thing: The continent has dumb people in the highest concentration of all the other regions in the world.

For at least the next 50 years or thereabouts, Africa will remain under the whites and Arabs as slaves until many Africans stop worshipping Yahweh or Allah. When, as an African, you worship Allah or Yahweh, the ancestors of the Arabs and whites respectively, you're merely worshipping and bowing down to the whites and Arabs.

How will you be worshipping and bowing down to a people and still want to be considered as equals to them?

Abrahamic religions will never allow Africa to grow and develop. As long as the majority of Africans follow Christianity or Islam, the continent will remain the slaves of this world and underdeveloped.

No people grow and develop when they're cut off from their roots, which are the pagan gods.

One dense poster here dey abuse Otem yesterday. I just read the comment and laughed. There are too many unintelligent people in this part of the world.

Only the most foolish Africans abuse Otem because this is a guy that delivered key messages from the founding figures of Africa (those pagan gods worshipped by the natives) in a book where he advised Africans to leave religion, shift their focus away from god or God, and embrace science and the use of the brain.

The guy urges Africans to embrace critical thinking, philosophy, and science in place of religion because no God or god answers prayers, and religion won't allow Africa to grow and develop.

His book dwarfs the literature produced by the greatest philosophers of the West. His writings are on another level: When you compare Otem's works with the greatest classical philosophers of the West such as Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and any other great mind in Western Philosophy, it's like comparing an Emeritus professor with an undergraduate student.

That's not an exaggeration.

And some 'dense' people here will be making a fool of themselves by abusing Otem. I just read the posts and laughed at how stupid these people are.

Africa is backward because of this low IQ of the average African. Most Africans lack foresight and can't think deeply and critically about issues.

A short history of Ilorin:

Another audio project. Lols. I talk am dat time. Very soon now, we no go hear anything about this one again.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Happy Iseye day..

but no carry d celebration enter Ilorin.

The venue is Ilorin now, and some prominent Isese practitioners even visited the city and just returned to their bases recently.

"Ilorin" itself is a Yoruba name, and the town was founded by Yoruba people with specific Odu Ifa.

From its name and history, Ilorin is part of the Yoruba region whether the adherents of the violent religion and the Fulani land grabbers like it or not.

Which mod is hiding my posts here? I've made the post again; let the silly mod hide the post again and tell me the rule I broke.

I didnt mention your name not your handle noteven your triggering word Otem yet you catch your sub superbly.

Unfortunately, no one will hold you here, you are free to enter market.

Ode, you don run enter market before now so I know you're speaking from experience dolt

Make una sha hold una brother before he run enter market.

It seems you don run enter market before, lols, Nairaland with dumb people in high numbers

Leyqute:
Have you seen Everything Everywhere All At Once? It's the most apt adaptation of the multiverse for me yet. I'll give Gift a watch. Enjoyed Dark too.

Interesting take on reality and the time-space continuum. I think Morgan Freeman said something about this in Lucy: Time is the only true unit of measure. It gives proof to the existence of matter. Our body cells only have purpose because they move through time. So, without time, we wouldn't exist.

I haven't seen "Everything Everywhere All At Once". I just heard of it for the first time from you. I'd check it out later.

I've seen "Lucy" some years ago, and I was a religious zealot at that time and naive, so I didn't really appreciate it.

It was when I became an agnostic years later after reading lots of books and rewatched it that I really understood it deeply.

Time is an illusion. It's not real.

Those higher beings you, religious people, worship as God understand this deeply and are multidimensional travelers, meaning they travel through space-time naturally in any directions they choose, but we lower beings can only travel through time in one direction and ignorantly think time is linear.

But it's not linear and doesn't really exist. It's more correct to say that without space-time, we won't have a physical kind of existence.

The physical kind of existence is an illusion.

At its core, all that exists is just energy and consciousness, or simply Nothing, but the brain tricks us to see all sorts of shapes and forms, which are mere illusions or mental pictures.

The higher beings people worship as God don't have such limitations and see reality for what it's truly is: energy and consciousness.

We're energy and consciousness existing in all possible forms infinitely in all possible universes everywhere at once, but because of the illusion called time, we think we're only existing in our current realm.

When most see themselves in dreams doing all sorts of things, they won't know they're seeing their other forms in other realms existing simultaneously with their present form, yet those whose consciousness has evolved are aware of their several other forms of existence.

For instance, at this moment, some people might have died somewhere on Earth, but they're not really dead. Their consciousness has only gone on a journey into another realm which vibrates on different frequency bandwidth from that of our current realm.

But even before now, they're already existing in those other realms that they just became aware of when they died here.

The principles that underlie death, which is a phase transition or translation of consciousness, are coherence, superposition and interference of waves.

It's the same principles that will make some people experience realms they call heavens or hells, which are worlds the god they worship created.

If a person believes in heaven or hell, they'd experience one of them after death. It's one's beliefs that determine one's realities.

What you religious people call the spiritual realms actually exist but most don't understand these realms and give them all sorts of wrong interpretations.

Reality is multilayered existing at multiple levels. There are physical realms or worlds (for instance, Earth) and non-physical realms, which the religious call spiritual.

Non-physical realms exist below the Planck scale, and space-time and gravity do not have any meaning in these realms. All things happen all at once.

These are dimensions of nature hidden from most humans. The tiny percentage that are aware of them are what religious people call gods, seers, prophets, MOGs.

A few pastors also know them and get visions from them, and the naive praise them thinking it's Jesus at work. But it's just nature as some humans see farther and deeper than others.

The average human won't know why some names can never die on this planet. Ifa, Orunmila, Jesus, many scientists and philosophers: these names won't die on Earth for a long time.

These are humans with rare gifts that allowed them to tap into the hidden dimensions of nature.

These hidden dimensions are inner worlds existing within our brains, existing beyond what physicists call singularity at the very edge of space-time.

But only a tiny percentage of humans can tap into these dimensions and still lead a normal life here.

"The Gift" is a fascinating and intriguing TV series.

One key reason why I love it is that it explains the notion of parallel universes. This is an area of research in Theoretical Physics I find exciting.

This movie and "Dark" are the most exciting series I've seen so far this year, especially because they contain scenes demonstrating research areas I've been working on.

The notion is that any living system exists infinitely in infinitely possible forms in different realms or universes, which are infinite in number and existing all at once independently of one another.

Everyone exists in these realms at the same time.

In any space around us are multiple realms in existence.

We sometimes become aware of these parallel realms accidentally in dreams when our heartbeats vibrate out of the bandwidth of earthly frequencies and shift into the natural frequencies of another realm, connecting us with that realm via coherence of waves.

Even people that we think are dead are simply existing on other realms where their consciousness is hosted on a different bandwidth other than that of our current realm on planet Earth, where they've a new form or their old form, and when our heartbeat vibrates accidentally at a frequency of such realms, we connect with such dead people in what appears to us as lucid dreams.

I developed new physics to explain these ideas in recently published papers. These could become huge topics in the near future with a lot of interesting applications.

Time is an illusion and a mental construct: The past, present, and future exist all at once as a block.

It will not send any message. None of the countries in West Africa are doing well even the ones with so called stable democracy like Ghana is a complete mess right now and that's why coupists are thriving. Go and listen to IBB the grand daddy of coups telling you how and what makes coup successful and you see all these countries have it.

So long as you have unpopular civilian rulers and military that have not been sufficiently muzzled you will keep having coups.

It has and will never have anything to do with ECOWAS. They have had successful intervention in the past. What did it lead to apart from civil war and instability

What we are doing in West Africa especially is civil rule not democracy. The civilians themselves are more interested in building cult of personality ruling for 2 decades or more than building institutions that render the military redundant.

Do you hear of military in Botswana? South Africa?

Nice one. Many salient points raised.

Any streaming link that works?

I don't know why some people here are excited and advocating the use of force in Niger Republic, which can easily become a war. Maybe they think war is fought with posts and tweets on social media.

The security committee of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) comprising Military Chiefs of some West African countries, on Friday said they would give diplomacy a chance in the Republic of Niger over current activities of junta in the country.

Spy360:
The major problem with Africa is that we have our hearts in the US and Europe and our mouth in Africa.

We say what we hear.

Us And Europe will never mean good for Africa that will not guarantee their own interests. Are we that foolish?

Africa should sit down with themselves and find a solution to their problems without the influence of US and Europe.

That was the goal of Gadafi.

Christianity and Islam will never allow Africa to unite and fight a common enemy. Lols, Africa as a whole is simply under Europe and Arabia as slaves.

It all boils down to the average IQ of Africans as a whole, which is the lowest among the world's continents.

The few highly intelligent Africans don ditch Allah or Yahweh for their native god or commot mind for God matter altogether.

Those two foreign religions, Christianity and Islam, will never allow Africa to grow and be considered as equals among other continents of the world.

You can't develop or be prosperous as a people if you're not connected to your ancestors, your roots, which are the pagan gods the majority of Africans curse and demonize.

The whites know this simple fact; the Arabs also do, just like the Chinese, and these are the most intelligent and developed peoples on Earth.

A war is the last thing Nigeria needs right now. I don't support any form of military intervention in Niger. It won't end well.

Potter wasn't our coach by this time last season. We've been told we were worse off than by this time last season when your mcm was here.

Yea, that's why Potter is better than Tuchel. Keep living in dreamland

popizaino:
Graham Potter wasn't our coach by this time last season. Think again.

Tuchel, our greatest coach in modern times. Don't give yourself unnecessary headache; after all, we know Potter is a better coach than Tuchel as far as you're concerned.

By the way, where's Potter now?

Workch:
Science involves disciplines that use the scientific method to determine the most probable explanation for what we observe in the physical universe, and this method involves observation of the available evidence, experimentation, presenting results, peer review, further observation and experimentation, etc. Scientists examine the evidence before arriving at a conclusion. If new evidence is presented, scientists consider it and revise their views if warranted.

Thomas H. Huxley, who coined the term agnostic, was a scientist. He found it puzzling that many people spoke with certainty about things which could not be verified by any known methodology (this is what atheists and theists do) . Huxley believed that to claim to have "knowledge" (in Greek, gnosis) that a belief or claim is true or lie, one must have verifiable evidence to support to disprove the claim. To Huxley, to present a claim as certain without evidence was ethically wrong and intellectually dishonest. He stated that claims of certainty in any matter, whether science or religion, should be backed by evidence, and proposed the agnostic method to examine claims based on evidence. If there was no justifiable evidence, one was "without knowledge" of the certainty of the claim or belief, or agnostic. He called practice of using such a method agnosticism

Agnosticism is not about belief, it is about using a method to verify the probability that a claim is true or factual by examining the evidence. A person is free to believe or not believe the claim, and may choose to believe a claim without evidence, based on philosophical reasons or personal preference.

So, according to Huxley's definition of agnostic and agnosticism, those who practice the scientific method are indeed agnostic in the sense that they use a method to examine the evidence for a claim before determining the probability that the claim is true or factual.

In Huxley's words:
“Agnosticism is not a… creed of any kind, but the validity of a principle, which is as much ethical as intellectual. This principle may be stated in various ways, but they all amount to this: it is wrong for a man to say that he is certain of the objective truth of any proposition unless he can produce evidence which logically justifies that certainty.”
T. H. Huxley. Essays, Volume V, IX

Aptly put.

.....nah! Its about unraveling mystery.

Okay

.....horror film kinda series. Also, its a kind you and A001 gonna like, I guess.

Who told you I love horror movies?

This m.oron with an empty brain keeps mentioning me here unnecessarily. Wasting away your life on silly discussions online early in the morning when your mates are in their workplaces and getting involved in meaningful activities.

If you're so foolish that you don't know what the word 'god' means, then what's your dictionary there for?

Keep waking up and sleeping on Nairaland forum since you're jobless.
