Done I tried sha

PROOF
If you started punching walls today your hands would pain you but after a period of time the walls would start to feel like rubber... this proves you can change if you really want to.

If your children grandchildren can carry it on you'll produce a DNA of good boxers (even the girls too)


But the question is "why would you start punching walls in the first place?" and the answer is protection Food, water, shelter, Sex which is exactly what natural selection is all about

You don't need a big guy sitting on a throne somewhere farway in the Star war galaxy to tell you what to do, you can live a better life if you really choose to.

BIRTH OF CHRISTIANITY
You need to understand that ideas are like living organisms and just like all organisms they have their mode of reproduction communication they also evolve too.. Christianity is a good example take this "Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
Exodus:20:3, ••"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last."
Revelation:22:13 How did this God transform from being a God to the God?
Now in the times of the old testament the gods of those on the other side were not myths they were just as real as yours this explains the change, the Idea of one God was good it was better than worshipping hundreds of gods you won't even know who handles your afterlife, now the God would avenge against all your enemies in the afterlife, later Christianity evolved once more, anyone who didn't worship 'The God' would burn in an everlasting fire for all eternity (Chai)
The Romans and Greeks worshipped demi-gods now observe Jesus transformed from, King of Jews--> son of God--> God himself, which boosted this ideology and even better people could just convert by believing, a lot better than the old method which include killing all the men and raping the women, thanks to this the Christians spread their ideologies far and wide
note: the real people of God(Jews) were not interested in converting believers infact they tried very hard to prevent it... the Catholic church (the oldest church) still have statues of the gods and goddess to prove the myth of Christianity.

ANOTHER EVIL GENIUS THE BIRTH OF RELIGION
As I said the stinginess of the farmers was problematic until one guy came along he had a brilliant idea "Let's tell them their crops will stop coming if they don't pay to the king" now this conmen played it so well they deceived the people they were sent by the crop god. The people now gave their crops willingly... Of course the King-Thug loved the idea all it cost was a fraction of what the people gave him besides now he could ask for double... Win Win Win The conmen later created more 'gods' to fool the people
This is how religion was created this also explains why most Kings were usually (and still) regarded as gods they evolved from the Thug-King to the God-king.

FROM ZERO TO HERO
One day an evil genius came up with an idea "Why don't we offer to protect the farmers from the other hunters?" This idea was wonderful the farmers agreed after all it just cost a small fraction of their food much better than losing the whole.... So now the thugs fought against other thugs except now they were paid to do it Win Win....Like it or not this is how Kings were created

PEOPLE BECAME STINGY
Things were going well for the farmers that they became stingy they would hide some of their food when the Thug-King asked them for it, they would lie that the weather is not good no crops were produced this was causing very serious problems for the rulers and then came their saviour.

Now as we all know energy can neither be created nor destroyed this is the one problem with creationist, which came first the chicken or the egg?
The Big Bang
At one point in the universe some gases mixed together to cause a cataclysmic explosion which set a series of chain reactions that produced the world we live in today.
But creationist ask "how can nothing produce something?", people who use this line of argument already committed religious suicide.... Most religions teach the big bang theory, in Greek mythology in the beginning there was chaos and chaos somehow produced Uranus (Sky) Gaia (Earth)
In the Egyptian mythology in the beginning there was dark disorder called (Nun) and then Atum or Atom produced himself by will (sounds familiar) so why can't most creationist accept the Big Bang fact?

HOW THE FIRST GOVERNMENT WAS CREATED
History points that the earliest jobs man performed were Agriculture and Hunting, some hunters were simply lazy and so they started stealing from farmers the farmers didn't have the training to fight off the hunters....but just as we see in present day gangs clashing with gangs over who sells cocaine so back then hunters clashed with hunters over who robs the farmers it was very problematic until a genius provided a solution

Let me go first

I Challenge you to think of your worst enemy (if I could use that word) on nairaland....

Are you done yet? Try promoting his/her belief system for a change take the persons perspective (be convincing)


Let's see which faith has the highest amount of ignorant believers.

hopefulLandlord:
I doubt you went through the link cuz the page explains why your question is an invalid one


anyways, even if your question were valid it still doesn't follow that evolution is not a scientific claim

I read it a second time "Thinking that a species evolves in order to survive is to put the cart before the horse." Why else do species evolve? Isn't that what natural selection is all about?

joseph1013:
I don't like discussions that waste my time. This juxtaposition of Harry Potter and the Bible is obfuscating.

So let me ask you, do you believe we should teach kids from the Bible that they need salvation and that they are born sinners, and that they are damned without Christ?

Don't use that line, my point is Harry Potter is boosting Wicca religion they are not banning all religions they are banning some religions, given that there's nothing wrong with promoting Christianity in schools... The End

https://www.livescience.com/32503-why-havent-all-primates-evolved-into-humans.html

Look I could answer the question I asked, that link is pure nonsense they didn't give any answer they explained evolution as pure luck read it very well

joseph1013:
You don't mind us reading the Bible as the ridiculous book of stories that it is? You mean, we are free to take out the horrific parts and tell stories like that of the Good Samaritan to teach ethics and merits of good deeds to kids?

Sure isn't that what Harry Potter is all about Good witches vs Bad witches besides, Harry Potter has many horrific scenes

We need Guns

joseph1013:
Yes, it's read as a story that it is. Fiction. Same way some of us were fortunate to be told stories of the tortoise and its tricks under a big tree. Remember tales-by-moonlight?

Wicca is a religious movement like other religious movements. It is not taught in American schools to American school kids.

Good why don't they read books about a boy who became a Christian that's just fiction, even the Bible is considered fiction by them why don't they read David and Goliath to the children it's just fiction those things are banned but Harry Potter isn't

hopefulLandlord:
what makes you hold that view? what's "unscientific" about evolution theory?

I'll just make it simple, why are there still apes if we evolved from them?

joseph1013:
Yes. Evolution theory deserves to be taught, just like Germ theory, Cell theory, Particulate Inheritance theory, or Dual Inheritance theory. They are all in the same category according to science.

No. Flying Spaghetti Monster does not deserve to be taught in school. It's in the category of Harry Potter series.

Do you know that Harry Potter is read to children in American public schools? I hope you know Harry Potter promotes the religion called 'Wicca'

hopefulLandlord:
your point is?

From my view evolution theory is 100% unscientific

hopefulLandlord:
rightly so


Evolution theory? absolutely! Evolution is a SCIENTIFIC CLAIM, its on par with teaching them physics and biology

FSM? NO!

Depends on your idea of 'scientific claim' besides science is limited it's very slow in progress although efficient

So, I saw a video that got me infuriated.

A young female school teacher posted a Facebook video showing herself leading her student in praise and worship session, right in the classroom.

Questions:

1. Who gave her the right and permission to post such a video of people’s children?
2. What makes her think she has the right to indoctrinate other people’s children with her religion?
3. Are all the children in that class Christians?
4. “Did the teacher get approval from all the parents before taking this spiritual trip with these babies, not to talk of videoing them and putting it on social media?” So Phie

The average Nigerian religious person is a religious zombie.

There’s this compulsive urge for many religious Nigerians to want to shove their religions down people’s throats. Just like a deeper life teacher in a Federal University in Eastern Nigeria told the female students to stop wearing trousers, that they should all wear below the knees skirts or dresses, and she also asked the male students to stop wearing jeans. And just like a Muslim lecturer in a Federal University in Northern Nigeria asked all the female students to start covering their heads to his class.

This is ridiculous.

You are a teacher/lecturer. You don’t have the right to force your religious doctrines on your students. In saner countries, that would earn you a sack. You are using your position of trust to infringe on the rights of your students to choose a religion or none, practice a religious doctrine or not. This is actually a FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHT you people infringe on.

If I want my children to do praise and worship, I will take them to church. If I pay tuition fees, I’m paying for them to learn academically. I don’t want any teacher indoctrinating my children with her religion.

What many of you Nigerian Christians and Muslims need to understand is that not everyone gives a Bleep about your religion. Not everyone gives a Bleep about your Bible or Quran.

Your right to indoctrinate people into your religion ends with your children and your church and mosque members.

I do NOT want my children to grow up as Christians. I don’t want any Christian teacher to make them do praise and worship at school, where I would pay through my ass to get them to learn.

My right to decide that I don’t want my children to be Christians (especially the Nigerian brand) is as valid as your right to decide that you want your children to grow up as Christians.

Practice what you want on your children. But you haven’t got the right to practice such on other people’s children.

A school teacher is paid to teach academically. Not to indoctrinate people’s children into his or her religion.

Nigerian Christians need to understand boundaries.

Not everyone wants to be Christians. Not everyone cares about whatever has been written in your Bible. Stop shoving your Christianity down people’s throats. Leave other people’s children out of your shits.

Despite how religious you all claim to be, your country is still in a rotten state. A vast majority of Nigerians are religious, including all your thieving political office holders, employers who sleep with potential employees, lecturers who sleep with students to give them due or undue marks, bribe givers and collectors, you are all mainly Christians and Muslims.

*-*

This issue of Christian and Muslim school is one of the worst disasters happening on earth today.

Most of these Islamic brainwashed kids who volunteer to kill people, or even sacrifice their lives as suicide bombers were bred in many of these Islamic schools.

Let school for children be a place to learn academically.

Leave religious institutions like churches and mosques to handle spirituality.

You are a Christian teacher, practice your Christianity in your church and at home with your family. Don’t force my child to pray with you.

This religious madness has got to stop.

Just want to ask a question you said schools don't have the right to indoctrinate someone with their religion

Do schools have the right to teach children evolution theory and flying spaghetti monster?

Op Nigerians are stupid face it

Iykmann:
Do you believe in God?

Yes

.

And who promised you immortality on earth? I agree with freeze prosperity doctrine is from the pits of hell

I am 99.9999999999999999% sure you didn't read this, this is your fellow Igbo

Okay

More importantly why are there still apes in the first place, is it only some that evolved?

tamethem:
na today? you think deleting it will make them stop insulting Religion. NO!

Good point

budaatum:
Nigerian politicians are mostly not atheists!

In fact, do you know what atheism is at all? Your post above makes me wonder!

Your signature says it all "Religion is regarded by the common folk as true, by the educated as false, and by the rulers as useful."

Lol your first point some dogs do eat it's puppies http://dogcare.dailypuppy.com/reasons-mother-dog-would-eat-her-young-2686.html
