solite3:
prove to me that atoms exist let me see it with my unaided eyes
To be honest with you, solite3, I can not understand why you are not bothering to prove to yourself whether atoms exist or not even if you needed aids to see if they exist or not, but to be so lazy as to request that someone show atoms to a wilfully blind person who has no desire whatsoever to put in any work to learn to use their eyes better and see, is taking the biscuit!

You will laugh one day, be assured.

Please explain to us how the bible condones homosexuality.
First, you explain what homosexuality has to do with this thread.

kkins25:
The time of the bible is passed. Its now time we bundle our scientific work nd replace the genesis to revelations with BIOGENESIS(birth of life) ND STARDEATH(end of times) .
That's like saying, forget everything you can learn from the early development of the human race and replace it with the same themes, "birth of life", "end of times", those who wrote the Bible tried to explain.

Thankfully, we do do what you ask should be done, as in bundle our efforts into bettering our earthly existence.

Just that some bundle quicker than others.

What you just posted is evidence that she is an epitome of incompetence and cluelessness. She is claiming she doesn't know about the policies that her own office is implementing and defending all over the courts? Then either she is a blatant liar or she must be incredibly inconmpetent and clueless. If she is claiming to be this clueless about what's going on in her office when she was only an Attorney General of one state, then how can people be confident that she can keep a tab on things if she's given the chance to oversee the entire nation?
I think you are after a perfect person. Thankfully, just as she augments Biden will she be augmented by the more competent and superior staff of the Federal Government of the United States so I'm sure she will do much better.

They just need to find something to do in order to become providers and not beggars!
So from this very moment you're hearing it let anyone listening know that it's a crime against God's holy spirit to go out begging for bread in the name of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Whoever does that is profaning the holy name of the Shepherd whose sheep must not starve!
Remember he created the Pharisees yet Jesus referred to them as the children of Satan! John 8:44
So it's not a matter of argument, you may not know but once you're aware of it please don't go out there to profane God's name! undecided
I dislike people begging. When people here send me sob emails, I tell them I do not respond to sobs and have added it to my profile in fact but will now go and delete it and send them a link to this thread instead.

Still when they do go out to beg, it is still one's duty to find a way to assist them with the understanding of the Power of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit for the Eternal Glory of Jehova Almighty God.

Note to beggar!
Make yourself useful and seek something to do!

Lol Bottas just isn't the dude to give Hamilton any sorts of problems. Rosberg at least never went quietly despite being the inferior driver. I knew he would pass and it was only a matter of when
Later in the season, we shall find out if Bottas' contract includes accepting any strategy the team decides or if he has the right to call tyres.

That's what Lewis has on him. A decisive role in shaping his own strategy, and its what makes him a 6 time world champion.

I am very grateful for your response. It made me have to use my mind and that I appreciate.
Thanks for educating us, Ehiscotch.

Ehiscotch:
He is expressing different thoughts.

One is saying if we are to go by scientific atheistic world view our minds are made of atoms and molecules that are made or determined to work in a certain direction therefore he cannot trust the rationality of his mind because it's a by-product of biomolecular reactions.
It would be funny if he said that. I doubt even atheists on here would say that their "minds are made of atoms and molecules that are made or determined to work in a certain direction" therefore....! But let us ask them. The intelligent one's amongst them, at least.

Question to atheists!

Is your mind made or determined to work in a certain direction?

Elaborations appreciated.

Ref: Scientific atheistic

Ehiscotch:
Even Steve Hawkins even attributed to this, that if we are to take the assumptions of scientific materialism then we are pre-determined to do or think certain ways and not actually out of volition or will.
Oh, sorry. I see you already seen the error of Lewis, though, I wonder if its not your's.

Scientific materialism is a philosophical stance that posits a definition of consciousness that is observable and subject to the scientific method. The term is used as a pejorative by proponents of creationism and intelligent design. The stance has been attributed to philosopher George Santayana.

No one says they are scientific materialists, is the point of the above, and "pre-determined" is so unscientific and theistic no atheist would go near such a word with a thousand foot pole. But we must not assume, so:

Atheist, please use the word "pre-determined" in a sentence.

And:

"Scientific Materialists" please stand up.

Ehiscotch:
So this very post I made was as a result of different molecules in my brain manufacturing a thought and whatever your response to this would be is a result not of your will but a metabolic process in your mind.
That's very comforting that my response to this would be as "a result not of my will but a metabolic process in my mind" because my willfully determined response to this part of your post having read your entire post like 4 times and considered it a lot and increased in knowledge tgerefore for which I am forever in gratitude to you is, Ehiscotch! You are respectfully full of shit!.

How can you be allowing molecules to put words in to your mouth? And why the heck would you assume that buda would be like you and allow molecules to dictate the buda word?

Ehiscotch:
Then he goes on to make a case for the gospel as being impossible to be fiction. Who better than a man with literary experience, mm?
Sounds like his literary experience impresses his opinion on you, but I have a problem!

Is this post you made as a result of different molecules in your brain manufacturing a thought, or did you actually write out of volition or will or both?

The response does kinda sorta let me measure the pinches of salt I need to take your word for it.

See, my understanding is that Lewis is writing about a certain sort of person, mostly Christians, in fact, who take a materialistic attitude to God. His Screwtapes, rather than being a school for devils as is often perceived, is actually a parody of the church and Christians, though not viewed by many as such, it seems.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Screwtape_Letters?wprov=sfla1

Ehiscotch:
Even Lee Strobel who was also an atheist sought to disprove this eventually became Christian....
Anyone who fully understands the Word of God according to the Holy Bible will become 'a Christian'.

"What 'a Christian' is", is the question to ponder.

Hey guys, I just wrote something about the Bible and Science. Please let me know what you feel

This quest between The Bible and Science has been an age long topic. Everyone, either professional scientist or not,does observe, classify, describe and conduct experiment. These activities result in the identification of many scientific principles. From Genesis 1:1, the earliest information about heavens and earth is revealed. It's a very long write up and it's in series. You might want to check up the rest here The Bible And Science (Part 1):https://solomonatanda.com/2020/06/04/the-bible-and-science-part-1/

EMILO2STAY:
science is nice and wonderful when you go into it with an honest mind. It opens your eye to the fact that there is a creator who designed these things.

The difference between the creation of God and man is that the creation Of God reveal more complexity and beauty and intelligent design the more you look deeper into it, while that of man reveals flaws and imperfection as you probe deeper. how ever many things we were taught in schools are not close to what any would call science but rather a big fat lie and dirty propaganda.

Why would they teach us about Hitler killing jews but don't teach is about king Leopold, mao zadong etc.

Why would they teach us about man coming from ape even when there is no single evidence of man transitioning from monkeys or fish or lemur or amoeba.

Why would they tell is the earth came from a big bang 14 billion years ago when it cannot be verified.

Why would they tell is the earth is curved 8inches/m squad when in reality it is not.

Why would they tell us the earth is an open system next a vacuum but turn around to teach is that the law of thermo dynamics which deals with enthropy states that gasses will always move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration next to it. Yet the case is not the same for the ball earth that spins and turns and tilts all this while still chasing the sun to no were in space.

It is time for people to open there eyes to these lies.
They teach you those things so that you can say, "what are those things", "are those things as they teach they are", and "how are things" etc so you bother to learn to use your God given sanctified senses to seek deeper so the complexity and beauty and intelligent design is revealed more to you so you can understand that you must open your eyes and mind to separate the lies from the truth and know the Glory of God. Hence, do humans do science, as imperfect as we are. Instead of just covering our senses and merely believing a thing has no value because one can not be bothered to invest one's time to bother to look at it, scientists will remove the hand that covers their eyes and test with all their God given senses to the Glory of God or whatnot.

aadoiza, take some of your time to watch any of NASA videos and check if they are relevant.

Everyone, I compel you post NASA videos quote cc aadoiza can't say no one showed aadoiza NASA videos relevance.

"The Most Reluctant Convert in all of England": Why Former Atheist C.S. Lewis Became a Christian
By James Bishop - May 30, 2017

By James Bishop| Lewis is perhaps one of the most well-known converts from the 20th century. There is much more about him that just his conversion. For example, he too proved to be a prolific writer as well as a gifted intellectual (1).

He held academic positions at both Oxford and Cambridge and is widely known for his fictional works, perhaps most famously being his book The Chronicles of Narnia which has been popularized on stage, TV, radio, and cinema.

He also penned other popular fictional works of the likes of The Screwtape Letters, and The Space Trilogy. Subsequent to his conversion from atheism he also became a Christian apologist and penned the popular works of Mere Christianity, Miracles, and The Problem of Pain.

He was also a close friend of the famous author J.R. Tolkien as they both served on the English faculty at Oxford University. Tolkien and Lewis would often debate religion and philosophy in each others company. Lewis’s works have since been translated into more than 30 languages and have sold millions of copies.

No, that's my way of getting back to them. What about the foool that said openly about my children dying before me. You are a father and how will you feel about that?
I will laugh at the foool for thinking the foool that doesn't understand what has happened thinks the foool could possibly know what could happen and shake my head sadly at the stupidity of the foool and the ignorance of the foool and decide to quote the foool the ridiculous words of the foool so the foool can sort of perceive the foool in a mirror for the foool that the foool is, because, often, the foool is really really far too ignorant the foool to possibly think of knowing that the foool is the foool with the foool's conspiracy is this and the foool's conspiracy is that, so the foool can not possibly know what could possibly happen to sweet wonderful beautiful children that I nurture and protect with all my might and my strengths and energys and my forces and my powers from the foool like the foool.

That permit carry thing? I shoot modafuqa the foool with superior understanding, that's my way of getting back to the foool, while you kinda sorta like square bigger diq with the foool.

And how many people are registered to the health care insurance? Probably, not up to 10 percent of the population. The percentage of women registered is even worse. The second research journal said over 97% are not registered on the scheme.

I don't understand what parents, grand and great grand parents have got to do with the state of Nigeria though. Were these parents thieving politicians too or corrupt military men?

https://noi-polls.com/fourteen-years-after-the-establishment-of-nhis-about-90-percent-of-nigerians-still-do-not-have-health-insurance-cover/

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6326643/
It sounds to me from the links you posted that the opportunity to register for health care insurance is there but many do not take advantage of it especially amongst the uneducated and those in the informal sector, and while I'd admit that people should be sensitized to pay the premium, I'd still hold the people responsible for not bothering to educate themselves about it, and not the incompetent sort of government we are able to currently run for ourselves. What we see today is the best we can do with our abysmal level of knowing how to do things, and I'm certain if we were more able, nay, when we become more able, we will do better, Isha Allah Amen.

Parents, grand and great grand parents and we their children have a lot to do with corruption in Nigeria. Those who you refer to as "corrupt politicians" are afterall from amongst those parents, grand and great grand parents and we their children, all Nigerians the lot of us, and unless you want to claim corrupt politicians come from Mars, there is no way Nigerians does not include me myself and I, is how responsible me sees it. If I do not like the way my country is, I should get off my ass and do something about for it is I who will suffer when Martians rule, as we clearly see by our letting Martian trump rule America which we are here responsibly trying really really hard to amend and end.

I'll tell just so I can be held to account. If trump wins - and I have to honestly confess he just might with his bribing and lying and manipulating those low intelligent basket of deplorables - me and sniper might be in a battle I can only pray I win.
