italo: To your two questions: Yes!

HAHAHAHA.. you see how you're shooting yourself in the foot

obadiah777: ITS AN ALLEGORICAL STORY. GOD WILL NOT ASK ANYONE TO KILL THEIR CHILDREN

Right, so how do we pick and choose which story is allegorical and which isnt? It seems the bible is made up entirely of similar stories


@topic.. God doesn't exist for me, so NO

turnstoner: you know, that's the thing:

So many people proud of their stupidity. Always ready to wave god in your face.

.......and even when it comes to natural disasters and other misfortunes they thank god for sparing them and couldn't careless about those who were unfortunate to be in harm's way

exactly, someone prays to god for promotion at work and when they get it they say "its the lords doing". Another helpless child in a warzone prays for food and shelter what does he get? more hunger and prolly his parents murdered and village burnt down. is that not the lords doing too?.

Religion makes me sick, and god even more so

seunayeni: like really? U're going to run ur mouth too...its alrite then I learnt something new, if it would stop u from ranting moreover I hope u read the the article before the pictures...does that not tell u I also believed the scientific explanation of it

You cant claim to believe both the scientific explanation as well as the "god" idea when your title clearly states "where two oceans meet and do not mix". Complete misrepresentation with that title and you know it. if only you bothered to understand the link I added you wouldn't make yourself look silly

musKeeto: Nice one. Hw body? Long time.

I'm aite mate, How you been yourself?.. been away for a while.. Was just passing through and saw that annoying post the OP opened up. He even still has the cheek to defend the nonsense he posted. What to do? I give up oh

2 mins on google and I found the explanation. When you never read or try to, you will believe everything they give you to swallow. even going as far as attributing it to what your holly books said.. seriously, are you dizzy or are you dumb?. I bet the guys that wrote the "holy" parts must have seen this sort of phenomenon occur somewhere before and they (like you just have done) attribute it to a "god"

I've taken the liberty to highlight the important bits of this article, and i hope it will enlighten you a little

A picture from the Gulf of Alaska that has been making the rounds on the Internet for the last few years -- though particularly in recent weeks -- shows a strange natural phenomenon that occurs when heavy, sediment-laden water from glacial valleys and rivers pours into the open ocean. There in the gulf, the two types of water run into each other, a light, almost electric blue merging with a darker slate-blue.


Informally dubbed “the place where two oceans meet,” the explanation for the photo is a simple one, though there are many misconceptions about it, including that catchy title. In particular on popular link-sharing website Reddit, where users have on multiple occasions erroneously attributed the photo’s location as “Where the Baltic and North Sea meet” and the two types of water as being completely incapable of ever mixing, instead perpetually butting against each other like a boundary on a map.

You also may have seen a variation on the photo featuring the same phenomenon, taken by photographer Kent Smith while on a July 2010 cruise in the Gulf of Alaska. That photo too has been circulating the web for some time, though the misconceptions about it seem to be less thanks to Smith's explanation of the photo on his Flickr page. That one has also been making the rounds on Reddit and social media for years, and had racked up more than 860,000 views by early 2013 on that one page alone, Smith said.

That original photo, however, originates from a 2007 research cruise of oceanographers studying the role that iron plays in the Gulf of Alaska, and how that iron reaches certain areas in the northern Pacific.

Ken Bruland, professor of ocean sciences at University of California-Santa Cruz, was on that cruise. In fact, he was the one who snapped the pic. He said the purpose of the cruise was to examine how huge eddies -- slow moving currents -- ranging into the hundreds of kilometers in diameter, swirl out from the Alaska coast into the Gulf of Alaska.

Those eddies often carry with them huge quantities of glacial sediment thanks to rivers like Alaska’s 286-mile-long Copper River, prized for its salmon and originating from the Copper Glacier far inland. It empties out east of Prince William Sound, carrying with it all that heavy clay and sediment. And with that sediment comes iron.

“Glacier rivers in the summertime are like buzzsaws eroding away the mountains there,” Bruland said. “In the process, they lift up all this material -- they call it glacial flour -- that can be carried out.”

Once these glacial rivers pour out into the larger body of water, they’re picked up by ocean currents, moving east to west, and begin to circulate there. This is one of the primary methods that iron -- found in the clay and sediment of the glacial runoff -- is transported to iron-deprived regions in the middle of the Gulf of Alaska.

As for that specific photo, Bruland said that it shows the plume of water pouring out from one of these sediment-rich rivers and meeting with the general ocean water. It’s also a falsehood that these two types of water don’t mix at all, he said.

“They do eventually mix, but you do come across these really strong gradients at these specific moments in time,” he said. Such borders are never static, he added, as they move around and disappear altogether, depending on the level of sediment and the whims of the water.

There is much study being conducted on how this iron influences marine productivity, in particular its effects on the growth of plankton, which Bruland referred to as “the base of the food chain.”

But rivers aren’t the only way that glacier sediment finds its way into the Gulf of Alaska -- occasionally strong winds can whip up enough silt to create a cloud of dust that’s visible even from space as its being carried out to sea.

So next time somebody shares a “really cool photo” of “the place where two oceans meet,” feel free to let them know the science behind the phenomenon. After all, in this Internet age, nothing spreads faster than misinformation.

Uyi Iredia: I see. So how do we go from excavations, DNA tests and carbon dating to 'Africans where the first humans (what's the line of reasoning) ? Assuming then Africans were the first humans, how do we account for Europeans, Chinese and other races ?

Migration + Evolution.

Never asked yourself, why are people different region to region?. Its all a result of differing climate and evolving to best fit.

No one can conclusively say that the earliest humans were black in color, all we know is that the paper trail leads us to Africa as the cradle of life

at least he doesnt sleep with his mouth open

he is god.. he can do whatever the fck he wants

FOLYKAZE: lol. lies for what purpose? Those are my findings. You can do your own research.

I only spent two minutes on the internet to find out that you have stretched the truth waaaay too much for comfort. Why? for your own personal gain?

One of your claims stand out as a blatant lie without even searching.

"j) Even today, visas are not granted to Muslim doctors, engineers or managers sent by foreign companies."
first of all, this contradicts "i".
This is clearly a lie as my friend from Iraq is in Japan as i type this. working as a field engineer.
WHY? do you knowingly misinform people?. With attitude like this, you are worse than the "evil" you are trying to make out of Japan


Granted, it is difficult to propagate Islam in Japan compared to European countries. But certainly not impossible or banned. There is a level of acceptance in every other society except Islam itself. So it is funny how everyone accepts their religion but they cannot accept anyone else's. Talk about eating your cake and having it

[quote author=Fifty-Fifty]Nice one but will they understand? Especially our Xtian brothers dt hardly read any historical facts to see dt Islam has no history of forceful conversion but unfortunately other religions have. We‘ve seen dt in Andalucia (Spain), India, Burma etc. Not to talk of numerous crusades.[/quote]lol.. are we reading the same history?

Back to the original post. You can come and claim religion of peace all you want. I dare say it is a religion of confusion at best.

You have only singled out what you want from the religion. The same terrorists can find backing from your holy books for what they are doing. So who is fooling who here?.

You can defend yourself by saying they misinterpret the religion. right! Next question is, how many highly placed clerics have come out to stand strongly against terrorism? How many of them have come out to forcefully make a change in how their religion is interpreted by its followers? It is not enough to sit at home and condemn an act of terror. Get up and make a difference, it is your religion after all and the duty of care is all yours

Image123: unbelief, pride, disobedience etc. You don't know God like me or more than me, do you?

wrong

God can do what ever d fck he wants. (at least following our feeble definition of such a being)

rapattorny: [Please read b4 you comment o"]

Just wondering you know the serpent deceived Eve in the Bible to eat the
fruit of life and death and when Adam came, he ate with her,God now cursed them later and they were
thrown out of Eden.

Now I'm just wondering what if Adam had not eaten and had reported to God that Eve had
given him the Fruit but He had refused to Eat to follow God's instruction,What do think God would have done TO EVE?

Would GOD have sent ONLY Eve away and left Adam or he would have created another Eve, what do you GUYS think

Nah.. It couldnt have happened any other way, He/she/it is omnipotent remember? He/she/it already knew it was gonna happen that way and i dare say that is what he/she/it even wanted. So Adam and eve pretty much had no choice. They were destined to eat the fruit and be cursed. Very loving indeed

Its all God's god's plan

musKeeto: Lol.

I tried to reply as well after laughing so hard.. I don't even know where to start. He has absolutely no idea what he is talking about but still has the balls to claim right; Ok watch this...


Errmmm.. OP, Can you please explain in very simple terms what you mean in points number 1, 7, and 8 and how they confirm evolution is false?

2nedo: Y the manlike apes no more in existense?reasonable answer pls

well, research has shown that we possibly killed off the Neanderthals. That's one explanation

wiegraf: Actually, I'm rather surprised you were able to decipher that. Was that in english abeg?

Indeed. Sometimes I read them over and over to try and make sense of the rubbish they are spewing

2nedo: @wiegraf'condition could possibly replicated in labs' well quoted,Any evolution in our time must be by human ie dogs.We are made to make things,that potential is deposited in us since inception.So if science really want to proof evolution they should search for apes that carry same gene with human nutured it till it become human.Law of cloning says'sheep from a sheep'cat from a cat' make dem clone man from chimpanzee na make we know ao far

You see the problem here? you do not understand evolution but still you want to have a say on it?

why would he bother to respond?

[quote author=barack_o_handso]I impregnated a virgin without sleeping with her. Who am I?

I went into the clouds to collect rules and regulations. Who am I?[/quote]1) that would be daddy big boss Yahweh. Aka Holy spirit, aka the baby that was eventually born, aka 'I'm jealous'

2) Moses?

Logicboy03: I sacrifice anything I am told to sacrifice if given the order from the oga on top, who am I?

Abraham? lol

Logicboy03: Elijah or is it Elisha?

Elijah.. but Elisha was the witness.

I went to heaven without having to die first. who am I?

Logicboy03: Unfortunately, not fast enough in middle east and Africa.....the same places with vast technological retardation...coincidence?

Nope.. makes perfect sense. Religion only thrives by keeping the masses ignorant. Until we Africans break free from this form of modern mental slavery, We will always be the last in everything

I doubt we have to wait that long for robots to come.

Religion is already dying a slow and agonizing death



On a side note: Have a look at Commander Chris Hadfield's rendition of David Bowie's Space Oddity. It is nothing short of breathtaking. It gave me a warm feeling of being part of an amazing phase of human history. Was 300,000 views when i checked it out last night. Now its over a million and a half views and climbing.

We don't need religion in anyway for great moments like this

^^

LOL! Poor!!.. very poor. You quote scientists from when the church had absolute power over everything.


Why not give us the same list but with 20th century scientists?


Albert was not religious for fck sake..

Max planck literally said in the later days of his life that he did not believe in a personal god let alone the christian one

rezzy: Scientists are liars

Scientists are liars

yet you use the internet

ooman: its better to start talking to a stone than this iddiot

no wonder you are getting banned.

He is clearly is the same boat as that strictly guy

I've promised myself to ignore the foolish ones.

Call me arrogant, but our IQ is far superior to theirs

kambo: theyre scientists who disagree about d theory of evolution. But d views of these opposg sects are never presentd in d popular textbooks. Except for d internt most of these knowledge wudnt b known ..

They are only found on the internet for a reason.
we also have Onion news on the internet. doesn't make it factual now does it?

If you wana carry out a scientific research, do you use only the internet? mumu

jayriginal: This is wrong. Nothing of the sort has been proven. Humans dont use only 10 percent of their brains.

I don't know where these guys get their figures from.. Even a vegetable in comma uses more than that lol

snthesis: common, 90 men armed with Guns were killed by mehn wielding cutlasses, that isnt logical, obviously some magic was involved, the question is how do u xplain this "magic"

Errmmm. you were there to witness this? Or "themsay"

@Muskeeto.

My intention was never to answer his question. I said I'll add one more thing to what has been said above me.


From the picture i posted, 1% difference will be about one volume there.

One thing we all seem to be mixing up here is that we have 1% difference from apes doesn't mean we are smarter than them by only 1%

striktlymi: Butthurt!!!

Have you ever noticed how I always ignore you?.. There's a reason for that. try and find out

kambo: ^^^
wow, "30 000 000 different combinations" of the dna makes man distinguishable from primates.
assuming,i'm not a scientist, the combination of these 30 million atg's or cells or watever,
is fixed for all mankind. i.e it is universal dna trait peculiar to humans,
then the possibility of selecting this combination from the 30 million possible combination
would be very small.
And the selector you say is - randomness. nature working its random picks.
the possible combinations wold be a very large number. 30 000 000!.
factorial of 30 000 000.
even a powerful hand calculator will tell give an error message if you try to generate the factorial of 100.
a wrong selection wuld have created beings probably worse than the chimps
but the choice selection , suprisingly made a wise pick...
ridiculous.
randomness doesnt possess such intuition.

I can see why you dont understand. reading and comprehension is not your strong suit. 30, million combinations? WTF mate?? where did I say that? DO you even know what 30 million combinations is? its even more than a googol.

30 million of the 3billion we have will be arranged differently with our ape cousins. Do you get it now?


I see someone clapping for you.. HAHAHAH sheep leading sheep.

You know what, get a book, read about evolution and understand it completely. You have managed mixed up every single thing you've seen on this forum just to reach your favoured conclusion. Amazing how you guys do it
