Ptolomeus: I do not think Eledumaré is below or above ... I think that that's a big mistake. That story was sold the settlers, and was happily purchased by Africans for hundreds of years ...No,no, Ptolomeus, you did not get what I meant. Eledumare is same as God but with many sub-gods(osha) working for him. These eledumare-representatives(osha) require human sacrifice( most)and when crossed,never forgives., Compare that to christian/islamic god whom are omnibenevolent. It was a matter of choosing between two evils, they went for the lesser evil. Mind you, not eledumare but his representatives.(Sango,obatala,ogun). In short the reasons- they were conquered. It is either accept or die(islam)/ostracised(christianity). I think I still remain a victim of that brainwashing. The stories they colonizers sold us I mean. You know in my school library, the go-to book on IFA divinity was written by a british! You can no longer distinguish between what's true and what they want you to know. In conclusion,The missionaries brought a CONCEPT of God that natives felt comfortable with than their sango,obatala and others. Let's say they brought the greek pantheon(zeus,hades), it won't have as much effect. They are basically same. |
@cyrexx U don dey ID the trolls. Nice. |
Lol. You know what, gather students with bang measuring 'instruments',eat that your soup and replicate the experience. We will call it science. |
davidylan: What a fool. I have over 14 published articles on pubmed (America's basic science journal repository) and a book chapter published by Elsevier in the UK.I hope they give you plenty awards in your science 'industry'. I sure do not want that awards. Interpret PST anyway you want, you can't influence anything. If(make sure to see this one) the experiment proves PST not to be the answer, the answer will be another natural cause. Or PST will be re-modified to accommodate new findings. This is how a scientist thinks. We do not look for unnatural causes. IF(again, don't miss this one) a supernatural cause can be scientifically proven(maybe in another billion years), I will be the first to believe in that cause. Ask me for evidence to prove a spirit only you and your kind can feel/sense/whatever? Why don't you prove your spirit for once? Don't tell me nonsense about personal revelations(it is unscientific) Basic science is what everybody can grasp. I m not a particle physicist for instance, so I cannot completely grasp the mathematical nitty-gritty of that field. The logical and sensible idea is enough as against the nonsense religions spew out. I hope you are not referring to 2good. He's expecting more evidence which thankfully we will soon get. And man, you seriously need to tone down the insults. This is a public forum where we are anonymous. Don't think you are taking advantage of it by throwing unnecessary insults. |
davidylan: my mother and brother are doctors so what have u done that is special? and they are serious conservative christians much smarter than you.Somehow, you managed to read ' superiority complex' in my answer to a question YOU asked? Just so you know, I have doctors in my family too, they are believers as far as I can see. It does not matter what you do except ofcourse you are a pastor or an imam. Latin. |
^the bastard is more of a businessman than a doctor. How dare him refer a patient to a native doctor? Not any of the advance diagnostic centers in the country or outside? Bloody quack. ![]() |
davidylan: and i guess you and logicboy are natural science majors? i laugh in greek.How many times will I tell you? Medical sciences(basic and clinical). And do you think blowing latin makes you any smarter? |
2good: Atheist are different from religious people because they don't believe in a god. Some Atheist however, are guilty of proposing the big bang theory as a replacement for creationism even though they cannot defend it just like the theist cannot defend the theory of creationism.This is true for some atheists. But please do not imply a similarity between a progressing research of cosmology and astrophysics with creationism. |
davidylan: Quite daft really. You can sit here anonymously challenging my work but you cant remove the pali and industry recognition i've gotten already so lets move away from the territory of idiocy.As usual,he uses insults to cover up his sad,illogical argument. How did he miss the 'if'? I m not expecting evidence against the primordial soup theory, I expect more evidence in SUPPORT of the theory. The conditions in pre historic earth cannot be easily replicated in lab. Once this can be done, PST will be conclusively proven. That I m even telling you this shows you are not in the hardcore/real sciences(biology,chemistry and physics). Ofcourse, the unprovable spirit God is not really sitting on top of the world but he's sitting on top of the world not as materially but as spiritual....nonsense, spin as much as you want. I m not the type to make the mistake of assigning wrong characteristics to a specific God. If you don't agree with big ba.ng, you will say you personally disagree with it. Islam agrees with it. Some one here was pasting scriptures 'proving' big ba.ng. Some christians here argues for the first cause i.e cause of big ba.ng. So saying 'we' is rather generalising on your part. YOU can also now say you disagree with gravity! |
logicboy: Wait, you reject big bang and evolution, yet you laim to be a scientist. This means that you are not into biology or physics. Are you a psychologist, into chemisty or some pseudoscientist? Even theists accept big bang!He may be a scientist....in the social science. |
davidylan: this is rehashed nonsense. Atheists are those who have the mental courage to challenge dogma? You mean "dogma" like the theory of evolution?Are you even a scientist like you claim? Do you even know the meaning of dogma? If tomorrow, the primordial soup theory is disproved by new evidence(by same scientists!), we will abandon it for what the evidence supports. That is not dogmatic. Compare it to religions. And he was throwing insults when I refuse to paste a link. Do your own research. Whatever I paste is not likely to convince someone reading this except he/she discovered it himself/herself. It is a way of pulling down the cognitive biases they naturally have before clicking the link. I don't have problem with those that paste links, we are different. This is what religions is all about. Claiming some esoteric specialised knowledge about God. Have you ever wondered why it is wherever our knowledge of things stopped momentarily is where God is? Few centuries ago, it was believed God was in heaven in the sky, telescopes disproved that. Then now, he is the cause of the big ba.ng. Once science disproves that, he will be whatever science is yet to discover. Your final line shows you are not remotely a scientist. Just wait, science WILL CREATE LIFE. As usual, I expect you to skip this and go right into the insults. |
There is nothing listening to your prayers. All the European countries have more or less abandoned religion. It has served its purpose(controlling the masses,slavery and exploiting the colonies). African people simply abandoned their Gods (eledumare) because it was inferior to the foreign concept of God. The 'advanced' technologies(blasted mirrors ) Of those foreigners did not help matters.And you still want people to return to that? Abolish all religions and let us think for ourselves. We must not wait for a non existent being to solve our problems for us. |
Kay 17: Oluface, bringing something out of nothing is a logically impossibility. If your God could do that, then it is valid to say he is logically impossible.Trust me, you cannot use a technical argument like this on him. He can't comprehend it. It is a waste of time. |
. |
Hahahahahahaha hahaahahahahaaaaaaahahahahahah LWKMD!!!! To think I once propounded arguments like these. ![]() Absolutely no understanding of science or anything like, for instance, LOGICAL!!! I said something about Islam here once. They do not even pretend to be science compliant. Take it or leave it. Take it= heaven/al jannah firdaus Leave it= well, we know am all too well. Most intellectual theist go for intelligent design of the universe not some uselessly fraudulent creation story |
It is so amusing that religionists here exhibit a willful ignorance of what evolution is. Evolution depend mainly on the environment. That is natural selection. Any species that cannot cope with a changing environment will die off(directional selection) until a stabilised environment happens.(Stabilizing selection). The key thing is efficiency. If dumbness/stupidity is required to survive a hostile environment, 20 generations later, everyone will be dumb. Any smart guy may not even live beyond infancy. This is an example, it is way more complicated with than that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=ijawkid]@logic boy... All what u said is sh**t..... I want u to evolve,dnt get old and die... Bypass old age and death,just keep evolving.... ..... My problem isn't monkey this ,monkey that,bing bang foolish theory... My main concern is how would we stop getting old? Let ur scientist stop old age and death... I bet ur gods have always asked that question until old age and death swept them all away.... ""Dust they were and dust they returned to"" U talk like d america or where ever u stay is a perfect place.... U talk like there's zero injustice in d western world because u now have atheists all over d place Racism still continues to destroy mankind..... what about pestilences ![]() Don't u fools over there suffer d same as we do ![]() Don't d westerners die?? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The hypocritical stance of religionists. What will you contribute to the scientific research on immortality? I was reading a thread about some russian guy investing and funding some kind of longevity/immortality research/experiments in america. The sort of responses I was seeing could depress Einstein. Mere hundred years ago, nobody could have guessed we will be this advanced. Few hundred years from now, people in that time will look at us as primitive( if Iran-Israel didn't wipe us out,another religious conflict). We can stop old age. Its a matter of time. We just need to somehow reduce/stop the shortening of telomeres during cell division(no easy task) and bang, we have immortality/no old age. Humans will continue to have problems. The point is we must strive to solve those problems, and not partake in a fairytale thinking that some perfect place exist when you die. Give up such thoughts and make this place your heaven! |
logicboy: Your main concern is immortality because of your stupid christian doctrine of life after death/everlasting life in heaven. Immortality is not perfect. Immortality means that you will not take life seriously. You will take life slowly because you have all the time in the world.I apologize for those folks for treating you like that. I hear nonsense like that is prevalent over there. As for that policeman debacle, it happens. It is so shameful. They believe anything white is automatically superior to them. Can't blame them really. The brainwashing was brutal. Religions plays the most damaging role. They have as their saviour, anything not black skinned. They proudly decorate their living rooms with the source of their own mental slavery. Anything foreign(including but not limited to religion) is regarded as authentic. Instead of us to reform our culture, expunge regressive aspects of tradition and make our life better. Sadly, they will believe poverty here is necessary for affluence after death. Whoever came up with the concept of religion did a really devastating destruction to our people. Its so sad. I feel so depressed right now. |
Logicboy. Thank you very much. If it were me arguing with those two posters, I would have given up. I mean WTF ![]() ![]() ! |
@cyrexx You dey vex oo. More power to your elbow ![]() |
Also the story you linked to is one of documented medical phenomenon. There are tons of medical cases where patient have been declared dead only to wake up again. Listen, if you know anything about medicine, you will know its very possible. Some drugs can induce you into a coma with signs of clinical death diagnosis. It will take a good doctor with lot of patience to detect any life. It can also happen normally. For instance, I still believe till today that my grand mother was not dead when the fucking doctor/quack declared her dead. Yes, granted she stopped breathing but because she was old, you think she's dead with no form of resuscitation carried out. |
joe4christ: Now let me debunk your deluded assertion which it's either you've been forming deaf ears to testimonies of people all over the world who have once been clinically declared dead and after some days in the mogue they came back to life without medical rescusitation and gave testimonies of what they saw and heard and their whole experiences while dead or you're just ignorant as usual.Let me tell you my own story. I m not joking its true. I was sick with high fever, I was no longer aware of my surrounding. Then it happened. I heard a voice(God) he told me ' do not touch it'. I remembered touching something and it broke. Then I heard a scream. And then a whiplash. A horrible voice then told me ' come here, I will punish you for disobeying me'. I was scared. As sick as I was, I scampered out of bed and fled. I rushed out into the neighbourhood. WITHOUT pants. I was at that age that you start to eye girls. It was at that point my love interest was passing by and my thing was flinging around like that. Its embarrassing now when I think about it. Sha, neighbours thought I had run mad. My mom came out begging me to come back in, I refused. I noticed a whip with my mother but she threw it away. So I followed her in fully convinced I just had an encounter with God. Now let me show you something It was later when I heard my brother's scream that the first doubt came. It sounded too strangely like the one I heard in the dream. I told him I saw him in hell. See drama. After arguments and insults, I discovered these some things happened during my hallucination. 1-my mother told my brother not to touch a bottle of fanta/coke. 2-my brother touched/tipped it and it broke. 3-my mother was livid and beat him with a whip hence the scream. 4-my brother being himself took to his heels hence my mother's 'come here, I will punish you for disobeying me'. My hallucination was a aggregate of everything that was happening around me that time. Due to my own fear of death/hell from ridiculous brainwashing , I managed to work hell into it. In short, people hallucinate all the time. Infact some hallucinogens are recreative drugs. I swear once I get my licence, I will prescribe you one, if you don't see God,money back guarantee go dey dia. |
logicboy: It will not. Such "miracles" will only lead people to their deaths. The woman was lucky. What about the other 75% that would die if they didnt listen to their doctors. |
fubbyy: I'v heard this a lot and never believed it till I witnessed it yesterday.It's just sad. When you are trying to prove there is nothing like a miracle and sheer chance kicks you in the balls. That woman had been brainwashed. The signs she gave was that there is no way she could have delivered normally. The next thing would be a caesarian operation. But after a psychological boost from the pastor( a sheer mind trick), she got more energy and was even more resolute to deliver. As a medical student, this things are common. They are not miracles. That's why most doctors will remain skeptical about this explainable 'miracles'. The doctor was probably angry because he was trying to prove them wrong and the weak woman decided to be strong enough to deliver. This just gave me an idea. Using mind tricks on pregnant women. Maybe it will even reduce maternal mortality. |
cyber999: honestly, its a liberating experience to be rid of this morbid fear of hell and afterlife, it can be psychologically damaging especially on children, since what they label as sin is what is already in our nature and nobody can do anything about it. ![]() |
jmoore: That's where all atheists keep getting it wrong. You can't prove heaven or hell scientifically. It is not physical but spiritual. The real you is your spirit, you may realize that by the time you are dead.I can't touch gravity but I won't go ahead and call it spiritual because its not physical either(in material sense). There is nothing like a spirit. Your body and your consciousness are a single entity. Billions of people have died. Me and you will also die someday. Out of all this billions, not one single person have gone and come back. How for goodness sake can anyone claim such things like heaven and hell exist? With no rational proof ? All the 'proof' came from con artists who lived thousands of years ago. |
PapaBrowne: Can you tell me how come you believe "the bones are fossils of men who lived in the early centuries"? Did you see them? Have you touched them?? Why do U [b]believe [/b]in something that could be discovered to be a fairy tale? Someone just thought up the idea of fossils and you [b]believe [/b]it just like that?? For someone that [b]believes [/b]only in things he has sensed, I'm really at a loss as to how you came about believing [/b]in Fossils. PapaBrowne: How do you know that people from ancient times were buried with ancient artifacts?? Please tell me how you came to that conclusion, because you weren't there when they claimed that happened. So how come you know for sure that people were buried with ancient artifacts? For all I care they could just be rock formations that looked like skeletons and it could all just be coincidental. I'm surprised you believed that- something you never sensed!!

I'm surprised you believed that- something you never sensed!!But logic, you must be an extremely patient man. I totally lost my cool yesterday. I refused to post. Chai, see ignorance. I won't even try to debunk them, you v done enough of that anyway. Anybody reading this and following that guy's reasoning is an intellectual lost case. And MR op, a little bit of knowledge on what you are debunking will do you well in the future. |
2good: Can you give me just one logical proof of the existence of heaven and hell besides all what you were brain washed with from childhood without quoting from the bible?He cannot! None of them can. I asked this simple question, absolutely nobody could give a empirical,logical, scientific and conclusive proof. This is why I'm just amazed when they go on and on about heaven,hell ,God....... |
brainpulse: I believe its a JokeOk. |
Btw, the evidence of spirituality can be debunked but its impossible to negate/debunk spirituality itself because it simply does not exist. |
brainpulse: @LogicboyWas this meant as a joke ![]() ![]() |
mkmyers45: Then what do you have to say about this: www.nairaland.com/937483/evidence-jujuI can't watch the video, seems not to stream properly. But it is basically magun. I think it does exist but not as a charm or nonsense like that .it can actually cause severe muscle contraction. If in the womanliness,its called vaginismus. We do know that some psychological problems may cause vaginismus. Plenty men use magun on their wives but it NEVER brings the expected results. Why, it based solely on the chance of a woman suffering severe vaginal muscle contraction during sexual intercourse. The appearance of the husband after the event somehow alleviates this psychological condition on the woman and she relaxes thereby freeing the penis. Just like everything, a chemical can activate this,this chemical I do not know,maybe its one of the muscle contraction hormones/enzymes/neurotoxin. Or some herbalist figured it out. Why I refuse to believe its spiritual is that a haitian juju man actually made zombies to work on sugarcane farms. But after thorough investigations, it was discovered he drugged people in to a deathly coma, then 'woke' them up with a mixture of alkaloids(from plants). These people have lost all feelings(zombies) and just wandering about. I know some herbalist have potent herbs( not magic or nonsense like that) but a DOCTOR can do exactly the same. |
alexleo: fools giving themselves for surrendering to satan and hell. Keep deceiving yourselves. By the time you die and face the same God you are rejecting now, it will be too late. That somebody decided not to see acid as deadly does not mean that if drinks acid he will not die. Keep deceiving yourselves.I normally ignore threatening posts like this........ Comparing God to a corrosive acid,are we? I touch acid, I feel effects,tangible ,physical effect. I touch God, wait, is that possible ![]() ?! |


) Of those foreigners did not help matters.
