Does God exist?

I used to believe that God does not exist, until one day. That day, I read an article which opened my eyes.

That article was about the design in nature. It explains that behind the simless ways our body function and the organs interact with each other, there is an entity that programmed the operation.

Let's look at the digestive system alone. When. You want to eat, the mouth is designed to salivate. Something triggers the body to secret the hormones or enzymes necessary for digestion. Then you start putting the food in your mouth. The mouth is designed by that person to function like a grinding machine, with different types if teeth and your saliva functioning as liquid to mix the food.

Right there in the mouth, some enzymes will also be secreted to aid the breaking down of the food in your body. From the mouth, the entity that designed it has made a conduit - the lungs- to carry the food from the mouth to the intestines. Some food will go through the small intestine, some, will go to the large intestine. Yet, the food does not miss road. They engineering made by someone in our body to takes care of that.

Lest I forget, remember that there are two passages from the mouth area to the internal organs, yet the food knows which passage is its own. It doesn't take the passage meant for oxygen.

The food goes down through our intestines, and the maker has kept some enzymes inside there to further digest that food. After doing that, the engineer who made the body has made some sieves or organs like foam in the body to absorb the nutrients the body will use, and sieve away unwanted food substances.

The way the body absorbs and converts nutrients from food into useful forms is another highly technical process, that cannot happen by accident. Someone or something arranged it to function seamlessly.

Then, the body transports the rejected food waste through some organs ( I'm not a scientist, so don't mind my layman explanation) that will lead it to the anus.

At this stage, the person's brain is made by the maker to make the person feel tht he wants to pass out on the food waste - faeces. The person looks for a nearby restroom and pours out the food materials rejected by the body.

Hence, the body has successfully taken the energy it needs to stay alive from food, and has removed the rest from the body, so that it doesn't cause problem inside the body.

This is just one of the many highly complex arrangements somebody put in our body for it to work well. You may choose to call that somebody creator, or any name you like. But it is clear that someone somewhere made this human body and arranged how it will work.

Looooooool....

The all too familiar "argument from design" and "God of the gap" fallacy.

Same argument from design that has been defeated and refuted time and again with reliable evidences?


Come on now! You God believers should do better.

kingxsamz:


You're delusional if you think that same ideology doesn't apply to the creator.
The creator too must have a creator also because the creator couldn't have created itself...

Do you mind them?

Unless of course they love to hug the fallacy of special pleading in trying to make a case and defend this Creator of theirs that supposedly had no beginning and end.

LLcoolJAY123:
I actually asked this question because he doesn't answer my prayers. Ever since I have been praying, none of my prayers has been answered. Some people claim he answers them. Why is my own case different. Does he love some and hate some?

Could be true, I was 9 when a 7 years old lure me.

They were the only ones with TV in the compound. The father had some adult movies and she watched it when they were not at home. Started when nepa took light and the father forgot to remove the cassette from the player.

She watched it and looked for someone to practice with, the innocent looking, 2 years older IT was her choice

SMH.

Upon all these, you still begin your sentence with "My girlfriend"

noakchukibadan:
Hello,

Please no ethnic banters. One of us is from Ekiti, and the other is from Benue. I am married for 8 years with 2 kids. It has been one problem to another.

I must be very frank, before marriage, my wife had many very questionable characters, but unfortunately we did the marriage counseling in a church were the pastor happened to be her family member. Many of the issues would have been resolved, but when I raised those issues about her character the pastor promised me that everything will be fine after the marriage.
Although this is not an excuse, but looking back now I would have been more patient and taken my decision myself instead of rushing into the marriage. For this I HOLD MYSELF ACCOUNTABLE

There is hardly nothing we do not quarrel about, I have always been the one to initiate settlement. The only way I ensure that there is peace in the house is for me not to complain about anything. Even at that, there is always trouble. If the children do anything wrong, she always says those characters the children are exhibiting are not from her and that she is not surprised that they inherited such characters from me.

She can go for months without talking to me, even if I tried to, I have done all I could do, I have begged, cried prayed. I just feel tired and exhausted from trying to make the marriage work or have peace in the home, the sad part is that she often reminds me every time there is misunderstanding that I should remember that she can stay on her own without talking to any body. Just to add, she is very prayerful.

OTHER INFORMATION.
1. I can say conveniently that there is no money problem at home. Finance is okay.
2. I went to see her father 2 years ago, the man said unfortunately he can not do anything. This is true because she was raised away from her Father, she has no contact with any of her fathers family and her father has a zero say in her life.
3. she has 5 elders ones, non of them is in communication with her because of many unresolved issues. Of her 3 younger ones she only maintains a relationship with the last boy who is just 14 years. .
4. Her mum can not talk to her because she simply dares not. However, behind, her mother use to beg me and she kept saying she understands her daughter's character and that she is doing her best by praying and doing deliverance for her.
5. She is not in contact with her maternal uncles and aunt because she said they supported her elder ones when she had problem with them.

So I am stuck with no one to help call the both of us and resolve the issue.

Every year for 5 straight years, she always forgets my birthday, last year, she forgot also, three days later, she bought me a present and I refused to collect the present and I asked her why does she keep forgetting my birthday, year after year for 5 years. She just said sorry, but I left the present in the room, she never bothered to bring the present to me. Another birthday was gone yesterday 2nd May, and as I write, no happy birthday yet.

I literally cook for myself, and all domestic things I do for myself.

I will end this by saying that in fairness to her, her character was not too different before the marriage and courtship, sincerely only once, that was like one year before the marriage I broke up with her, she came to apologize and promised that she will change. Her mother also came to apologize to me also.

This woman has refused to change or allow peace to hold sway, she is right every time, while everybody around is wrong. Sincerely, I do not know what to do anymore.

I am tired and exhausted. I do not know what to do anymore. I am 42, I was diagnosed of high blood pressure 2 years ago.

Na wa ooo!

Be like say them just package her give you make you marry and take her off their hands, despite knowing her character.

Na this one them go call "for better, for worst" too?

I keep wondering whether this man is the same Adesina of The Sun newspaper, whose articles I used to enjoy like ewedu and amala those years...

Nigeria politics can really turn an angel into a demon.

Or maybe he was camouflaging those years...

Now we are seeing his true self.

Honestly, no be only you. I don't even recognize this Femi Adesina again. A far cry from the columnist I used to love reading in the Sun newspaper.

It's not about wearing beautiful masks around ooo! It's about how strong the mask can protect your mouth and nose from the virus.

i am not an atheist but i have noticed people tend to lean towards our emotions when trying to defend god. For example, i was having a discussion with some friends of mine and one guy brought up a point that "it is because i have not suffered that is why i am questioning god"

Logodwhiz!

Don't generalise. Not every guy has the time and patience for "playing hard to get" or the usual claptrap of "thrill in the chase".

Please God, do not let it happen, even though millions of people in other countries have prayed, yet they still got infected and died.
Please do not allow this virus to kill people in Nigeria, even though you're watching over 1000 people die daily from the virus in USA.
God please protect us from this virus, because we're more special than those who have died or still infected. In Jesus name, amen.

I wonder why people keep praising him. He's too rigid for my liking.

@bolded, agreed.

Too rigid and uncharismatic.

I miss the James Bond of Pierce Brosnan, Roger Moore and Tim Dalton.

jaxxy:


Assumptions! And what makes u think the West don't pray?

Religion has always helped developed countries grow. Even the Israel, us and Europe. Modern Christianity has brought man closer to God bt drifted into materialism and mammon. They are closer bt still not potent as shud be. Man issues

At the end of the day God is the Greatest. Science can testify.

Testify to what exactly?

sotall:


Delete this rubbish you wrote!

One major pillar in christianity is healing. This is the right time for pastors to come out and show to the world they are connected with God. How many of them have come out to tell the government they have the power to heal coronavirus patients?

Must the healing be in church?

Let the pastors go to the hospitals with the coronavirus patients and heal them .

Have you forgotten in bible times, even handkerchiefs blessed by the apostles healed whoever touched it?

Science doesn't have the solution to all medical problems of humans , but science has obvious proofs of big problems they have solved.

So many killer diseases of humans have been cured by science. What about religion?

@bolded, nothing. Religion has done little to nothing other than to take the glory of science under the laughable claims that "it's God that gives wisdom".

Xisnin:

You apparently don't understand religion and science.
You are also conflating a scientists personal belief with the society enforcement of religious doctrines.

"Highly religious" scientists will be too little and too few and we can predict that majority of them
will be below average. There is a clear difference between belief and religiosity. Moreover, science works regardless of faith or lack of it, so a scientist being religious is irrelevant.

However, there is a wide difference between a religious society and a secular one that has scientists
who happen to be theists. The first would respond with "It is not my portion and god is in control" in case of a new problem and the other will ask "what are the causes and how do we stop it".

Religious society are correlated with poverty and poor education. Even within a secular and advanced society, the most religious parts are the poorest.
Look at the US for example, the bottom of the poverty table are filled with highly religious states. It is not a coincidence.

Awesome!

Moventist:


Who told you they are prayerless westerners ?

[bMany of these scientists are Christians with the firm believe in Christ[/b] . They are not only prayerful but they pray with actions unlike Africans that only pray without action

Lol @bolded.

And you know this how?
Christians? Religious? Prayerful?

Science and religions don't go hand in hand, face it!

honeyB2018:





Domdva

I don't know why people like you, love to take a swipe at the pastors, when they have not been given opportunity to demonstrates their God given power over Covid 19.
Pastors were asked to close down their churches, those who dare to open them are, harassed, arrested, taken to courts and are fined. So why blame and castigate them?
By the way, are there not medical conditions, that are beyond science, technology medication, that God by these lampooned pastors have healed in the past?

Lol...

The brainwashing and indoctrination software that was used on you is really topnotch.

So you mean these scammers and fraudsters called pastors can't pray and send their healings to wherever you're, unless their churches is opened and you attend? Really?

But God is said to be everywhere, an omnipresent being. And he's the healer. All your pastors need to do is to beseeth God for his healing power to touch those infected wherever they may be at anytime without needing physical closeness.

Your generations will parish in darkness and your mind will always be closed to the light of the gospel of Christ Jesus.
