vooks:Formamide could have formed RNA naturally in early earth's harsh environment. vooks:Calling the geological a myth is straight-up falsehood. Also to say there is no particular order is another falsehood. The geological column has a definite order. This does not mean that it is complete in every given area (due to faulting, erosion, and the fact that fossilization does not occur every time) though, it is, rather incomplete. The earth is not an onion that has every layer clearly defined. The geological column is a puzzle pieced together through research. |

vooks:There's no dilemma here, research that is incomplete is incomplete. Scientists would not attribute it to magic just because hey don't know yet. Second, I don't think what you defined above is the meaning of circular reasoning. By the way, RNA can be formed by self-assembling amides in the right conditions. vooks:This is another thing you've gotten wrong, evolution and chemical evolution are not the same theory. Evolution deals with heredity while chemical evolution deals with chemicals. I don't know the books you've been reading but please make sure they are not biased and also, make sure you understand them fully. vooks:I will like nothing more than to hear your views for a change. ![]() |
vooks:Calm down, let's not get agitated here. Recent studies have shown that viruses came before bacteria. So they must have evolved their dependency later on. More research would shed more light on this in due time. Evolution has nothing to do with abiogenesis, so don't redefine it to suit your argument. So don't avoid the question Why do we have more primitive organisms in lower and older strata and more complex ones in recent layers? |
vooks:Most viruses have few genes, the Ebola virus, for example, has only 7. Reasearch is still going on. Where would your 'god of the gaps' be if we find out exactly how life came to be. The fact that research has not come to a conclusive end doesn't automatically mean that God did it. Now, I gave my point on evolution. Don't ignore it. |
achinaboy:[whisper]Because they are african mythology. Don't tell people that though, you might blow their minds.[/whisper] |
Dear OP, please post pictures of your own phone to give your story more credibility. |
Richirich713:Harming others is wrong because we are intelligent creatures with brains that are complex enough to give us emotion. One of such emotions is know as empathy. Empathy is necessary for social creatures like man to help those in need and for us to not cause harm to our fellow humans. But you're missing point. I'm saying that homosexuality causes no harm and I'm asking you to show me why it is wrong. PS: Sometimes the victims of paedophilia do not know they are being harmed until they are mature enough to understand the emotional damage that they have being carrying. |
vooks:Every living organism can be broken up into amino acids. Amino acids are the building block of life. Although research is still far from complete, scientists believe that the atmospheric conditions of the earth before life would have been able to produce these amino acids. How these acids made the jump to become living organisms is still unknown. But there is an organism which possesses some characteristics of living things and some of non-living things, they are called viruses. |
KingEbukasBlog:You obviously know nothing about biology. |
Richirich713:I don't see how it does, maybe you can enlighten me? There's no 'to each his own' when it comes to harming other in my opinion. Richirich713:Haven't you been listening? Paedophilia and rape and wrong because they are not consensual and are both physically and emotionally damaging to the victims. |
Richirich713:My morality is objective. You hurt someone, you're bad. You do good, then you're good. Richirich713:If 100% of humans were gay then we won't be here. It's as simple as that. But we've since moved on from sole reliance on natural selection because we are intelligent social animals. For example, gay couples can adopt orphans or use surrogates and sperm donors to have children. Furthermore, if you feel that a man must be with a woman, what exactly is that going to accomplish? Who is that law protecting? I'll really like to know why. Also, biologically speaking, homosexuality is a great feature for a specie in order to prevent its population from exploding beyond what the ecosystem can accomodate. |
cold:This sounds sooo wrong. |
Scholar8200:This would have been fine, but then you guys started making laws with it, killing because of it, and justifying slavery with it. |
Richirich713:Rape is bad. Rapists are bad. They should go to prison for a long time. Let me tell you about my moral compass. It's not long and it doesn't have arbitrary rules. It goes something like: Do not harm another individual physically, mentally, emotionally, or socially. Also, do not harm people indirectly by polluting the environment, messing up the ecosystem, cheating in examinations, etc Do not cause unnecessary harm to animals. The rules above are not absolute, there are exceptions such as things like self-defense. Homosexuality doesn't transgress against other peoples' rights, does it? |
vooks:Let's start with evolution. For evolution to be true some conditions have to be met, one of such is that the fossils of organisms will become more primitive the deeper we go into the earth' crust, with the most primitive species at the deepest layers and the most recent at the topmost layers. |
Richirich713:Let's set this straight (no pun intended ):1. Homosexuality: Consensual sex between consenting parties who are of the same sex. This, I'm ok with. 2. Paedophilia: Sexual attraction by an adult to prepubescent individuals. This, I'm not ok with because one party is too physically and emotionally immature to give consent. 3. Hebephilia: Sexual attraction to pubescent minors. This, I'm not ok with because one party is too emotionally immature to give consent. 4. Bestiality: Sexual attraction to animals. This is not ok because animals are too neurologically impaired to give consent. So there it is. I hope you can see why I distinguish homosexuality from perversion. Because as long as it is consensual, then nobody (or animal) is getting abused physically or emotionally. |
vooks:*sigh* I have evidence. I'm not using a 2000 year old book. Science is the same everywhere. Your 'truth' would have been different if your parents had thought you otherwise before you were old enough to detect bovine faeces. But I guess it's easier to scam a person than to convince a person that he/she has been scammed. |
vooks:You can't refute my evidence or bring your own evidence so now you're just trolling. I've won this argument. |
Politicos:He probably found out through some Whatsapp chainmail. |
Richirich713:You were the one who said that you didn't see it in nature. I see homosexuals like left-handed people, they may be in minority but are in no way abnormal. But look at how nigerians treat left-handed people, or twins were treated in Calabar; you'll find that people irrationally hate what they don't understand, especially when some arbitrary rules support their hatred. |
vooks:-Some people are born gay, deal with it. -The theory of evolution has been backed up thousands of times with hard evidence (fossil records, genetic information etc) -The earth is actually about 4 billion years old, this has been backed up by carbon radioisotope dating, try to read a book. -The best answer someone can give is I don't think so. The question is if you're saying there is God bring evidence, like you know, the evidence of evolution, 4 billion year-old planet, and homosexuality in nature. |
Richirich713:Well, it's observed in nature. Paedophilia on the other hand, not so much. |
mollie12:You're talking about an orphanage owned by a giant worldwide organization with tons of money at its disposal. Abortion is still the better option in some cases because a lot of these children would end up without a future. But no, some people call themselves 'pro life' but let me ask: do you 'pro lifers' ever donate to orphanages? Do you thinks that the world is a bed of roses? Well I'll tell you that sometimes we have to make morally grey decisions for the good of all. Another thing, if a woman really doesn't want to have a baby she will still find other unsafe ways to terminate the pregnancy. |
Ayy 5318008!! EDIT: 3 before 1. |
finofaya:Chances are, OP is just a troll posing as a muslim. |
When will this happen? If Nigeria gets it's act together and becomes a great nation in 150 years, are we going to say his prophecy came to pass? Because I can say 'a nigerian will go to space' and chances are it will happen. If he truly has any power then he should give a time frame. |
Show us pictures!... For science! |
RexKexMilann:Children are treated like crap at orphanages due to inadequate funding and insufficient staff. Abortion is done when contraceptives fail. |
saint047:I see what you did there. |
analice107:You've said a lot of things here that make you seem very angry and immature. So chill out. A Satanist cannot be a witch because they don't believe in higher powers; also, nobody is fighting a war against your imaginary friend. I'm not sure how literate you are but if you actually read that comic, you'll see that no atheist is depressed because there is no afterlife. On the contrary, we live to enjoy life to the fullest and make our mark on the world because we don't have evidence of an afterlife. Were not just waiting to die. PS: If you're waiting for Jesus to return, you're probably just wasting your time because he said in Matthew 24:20-34 that he'll return before the passing of the generation. Here's the kicker: that generation passed away 2000 years ago! |
