plaetton: I went in some detail to show how these repeating processes [size=14pt]could[/size] have led to the first protolife and eventually to the first simple micro-organism.
But my friend Deepsight turns a deaf ear to that scientific information and is still asking for an explanation as to how life started.
It then became obvious to me that everyone, including the very intelligent among us, are seeking a magical explanation. The very complex and rigorous processes of biology, chemistry and physics is too much for most people to comprehend, let alone accept.
That is the problem.

The problem is you. You just stated a possibility but are actually trying to force people to believe unproven theories just because things in it are possible. The fact that a reapeating process could have led to the first protolife and eventually to the first simple micro-organism does not mean that a reapeating process led to the first protolife and eventually to the first simple micro-organism.

When explained properly, science is not that difficult to understand depite its rigours and complexities.

Deep Sight: nteresting how nobody is bothering to even attempt any of the several posers raised?

What exactly do you have against evolution? It's good to point out flaws and shortcomings but are you saying that because of these shortcomings, the whole theory should be put in the bin?

mkmyers45: I am asking just so to be clear and for clear scholastic purposes only.....Is there an explanation of life?

There must be. We are still searching. We may never find, but all ideas and theories and fairy tales advocated so far are either wanting or pure balooney.

striktlymi: I am not sure what you mean by the bold but if it is in line with the OP then it is not so because no sheep will ask God not to be eaten by a lion.

You said the bolded, remember? Stop dodging. Does your god intervene or not? I didn't know this question is that complicated even for a christian.

striktlymi: Not sure if I mentioned the bold but to answer the rest of your question: I do not know the circumstances that would necessitate God's intervening in the lives of animals.

Good. So your god does not as far as you are aware, intervene in the lives of animals?

Yes. Like prayer, nothing works.

ifeness: It is survivor of the fittest. If you are weak or show any sign of weakness you will be devoured. God resides on the inside of every plant,animal and human so it shows favour to no one.

So, if the lion eats the sheep, it is eating the resident god as well.

Just had god for breakfast then.

manmustwac: ^^^I have already done the first part of what you said & we're still working one second part.

Do you need help?

striktlymi: Depends on what you call 'animal affairs'.

I was anticipating a skid response like this, which is why I changed the form of the question.

Your quote about animals having fixed functions and different rules baffled me which is why I would like to know in what, if any, circumstances, your god would intervene in the lives of animals. Or does he not?

Stop dodging. Defend your god.

striktlymi: Sheep and lions are 'animals' and will be left alone...given that both animals perform the function God intends for them. With humans the rules are different.

So you are saying that god doesn't interfere where animals are concerned?

striktlymi: Is this a response to something I said previously?

Would god intervene in favour of the sheep or the lion. Or, because there is a natural order of things as you affirmed, do nothing?

Rossikk you are wasting your time expecting critical thinking from people whose brains are rotting as days go by. Thinking about these would make their universes come crashing down.

striktlymi: ...and if the 'grass' asks God to prevent the sheep from eaten it but the sheep also asks for its daily 'bread'...who then does God answer?

There is a natural order of things and God has made it such that lions need to feed on meat...to deprive any lion of this would be to sentence the lion to death but there is a catch...the lion must not eat more than is required hence the survival of both species is guaranteed.

If the sheep prays: "Lord let the lion not eat me"...what it prays for in effect is that God assures the survival of its species by allowing the lion eat only what is required; while the lion's prayer is that God make the sheep prosperous and multiply because the prosperity of the sheep is directly tied to its prosperity and survival.

Good. You now admit that your god doesn't intervene.

I think he'll answer the one that doesn't waste it's time praying but is either hunting or running away.

Prayer does nothing. Hard work pays.

There's leak in church roof. They may want to fix it before the water causes further damage. Or not. That's their problem.

Coming to think of it, are these people so brain dead stuupid that they resort to worshiping a consequence of bad work and falling building?

Anyway, the water stain shape looks more like a giant condom than anything else.

Manmustwac I think it's time you get married and have some children so you'll get real kids to discipline instead of getting worked up about 2 adults telling each other to shut up.

Yes

olivegirl: In every generation God uses something the world desired to entertain his generation, it used to be black and white tv, big tv now internet and 3ds, may another generation, he might decide to open the sky and earth livers will view themselves from it. He knows the generation needs to write so we use fb

The rot is deep.

frosbel: thanks

Care to answer my question or is it too hard for a godly brain?

STOP HIDING POSTS! We are adults. We can handle it.

To op, nice write-up. I agree with you except on the last paragraph where you attacked atheists.

I once started a thread about the absurdity of the Big Bang Theory and was attacked by the atheists here. I was going to start one on evolution but you did a great job here. There's still more to be added.

I once saw a program on the television about the human eye. I learnt that a few hours old baby's eye (with the brain)can in one second analyse data that would take all the computers in existence working together, thousands of years to analyse. It is really amazing.

However, they, evolution and big bang, no matter how absurd, explain things. A lot of things. Which is more than you can say about the notion of God which explains nothing.

frosbel: 1. But Abraham's bosom is supposed to be below and not above , hmmm, so how can heaven be Abraham's bosom, since Heaven is always above ?

2. What was this place called before Abraham ?

above what?

Excellent write-up. My only problem with it is that no God, or doG or whatever name one choses to call an ancient imagination, endowed me with any brain.

Know that the first thing religion attacks is the brain. So they just can't use it in the first place. Just look at this thread to see christians urging themselves not to use their brains: https://www.nairaland.com/1260566/permission-use-brains-o-man

olivegirl: . Saul was eager to market judaism to followers of jesus. He knows the only way is eradication, due to his eageRness christ visited him. I saw this eager in you , it must surely happened, it may taRry but definitely it must come

Saul didn't have internet.

Drummaboy, you can't cheat death. Pray and thank god all you want, but when the real death knocks on your door, you must answer.

striktlymi: Foreign affairs!

You said "here."

So maybe she abandoned foreign affairs but nothing was said about the religious section. You just assumed that she abandoned us as well.

Evil doers condemning other evil doers.

Please they should marry. Is that the only thing you people see as bad in this country? Na their religion. You must not offend them. If you don't like it, form your own country.

There's always an excuse. Throw him in jail whatever he says. Mumu people.

Islam-a-bad.

Tell him you are busy. To send his lazy son instead, or get off his ass for once.

vedaxcool: no please give me the honour to digress far off target -unlike ur dishonest "little" digression. can.we consider a god, whom rides on cherubs, who became his own son, so as to die for his own brothers. /sons.which he later.did by organizing his own murder /sacrifice, which made the father who is now his own son to accuse h himself as the father of forsaking himself - the father who is his own son. now after sacrificing /murdering. himself the father who iou is his own son now had to disguise himself initially. as a gardner then something. else. in order to hide from the same people he was suppose to save. so as for them not to kill him a second time, all this he did because he couldn't bring himself to forgive people,can we consider such a god rational?

Not really that different from the one that ordered you to kill people for making drawings of a dead arab murderer. The one that ordered you to face mecca and have your ass on air five times a day. The one that ordered you to starve yourselves every year. The one that ordered you to fight and kill yourselves while he does Bleep all to help. The one that ordered his messenger to marry a 6 year old girl. The one whose messenger was eyeing crawling baby girls and thinking of what he would do to them when they grow up. The one who speaks and is only spoken to in one language: arabic. The one that hates the sight of your women so much that he ordered you to cover them up from head to toe like masquerades.

Will god come as well?
