leadzeal:okay... I will rephrase your question better so we will not be too hasty to make ourselves judge. Are two humans alike? The answer is No. From DNA configuration to blood group or facial representation. At least none is found yet.Fair enough You are so quick to classify whether a thing is subjective or objective. Where you priveledged to the evidence or you were thought it was a fact back in school. I don't want go down that road now but know this, an objective observation was once subjective. I can carefully state here that "anger of the gods" was an objective term in premodial times.How could "anger of the gods" be objective when that very term is ambiguous for anyone to insert his/her god/gods as being the one that is angry? ![]() You just misconstrue my usage of hate in its context. Your connotation to my idealogy is really flawed here. And I am very disappointed to be honest. Hate when channeled to a bad habit so as to stop that habit is encouraged but when use for murderous intent then it is a no no. Try to understand my usage in the context, i am not perfect, but i believe you should understand the nature of hate used here.Please post where i said hate used in killing is good...i'll quote myself again Hate is inevitable as a normal social human being....we hate things to give ourselves a justification for our actions,to give ourselves limits and to distinct what we consider to be good or bad... I believe I should use more of my apostrophes for words I believe my reader would comprehend its meaning both in context and out of context. I could has well use a mosque here, not need for redifining.Okay so a rehabilitation centre is a church then... ![]() |
FOLYKAZE:Good Gods and spirit is a term use in spirituality and not science but they tend to explain the samething.Didn't you say "It is supernatural when there is no explanation"....so how can something that's not an explanation be an explanation ![]() Sango in Yoruba is the samething as Thunder. Ogun is Iron. The allegory of Ogun moulding bone is expressed in science which says calcium produces bone. These are few correlation i know.The difference is that these terms bring things to mind...when you see the term lightning do you attribute it to a guy in the sky throwing thunderbolts?....what of sango? Rain makers here are not scientist and there practise are not documented.It doesn't take a scientist to document things...Besides during harmattan season they'd be a highly dependable profession and thus we'd have lists of reliable "rain makers" in each state... ![]() Where did I say charm is above science?Not charm,supernatural.... FOLYKAZE: |
FOLYKAZE:Are you sure? For example, rain falling was attributed to gods or some spirit been behind it. But today we alk know that this spirit and gods are some forces.@bolded....I don't recall geography ever calling atmospheric pressure,wind,humidity,etc that causes rain under certain conditions as "spirits and gods" ![]() And today, have some people that can stop rain or make rain. They acquire this skill from somewhere. They know what they are doing but do not have scientific explanation for it.Please can you list a person that is heavily documented to have done this? When science come into an event, gods and spirit are repkaced with force and energy. So to ne, this isnt about ignorance but bringing one stuff to the age of scienceBut didn't you say it's "above science",how can you now bring it to science? ![]() |
leadzeal:Are two humanists alike? If all other groups aren't free from nihilism then what exactly is your point in the first place by stating you're not a solipsist because you believe some to be nihilists? You said "pathogens" and went further to state that they were the cause of the diseases.I know it's a name-tag and it is one objectively drawn from evidence and observation..."anger of the gods" is a subjective term owed to preference of the "supernatural" Humans change with time and no human is alike or think alike. Being part of group has put in hate in me and ofcourse prejudice in time past.Hate is inevitable as a normal social human being....we hate things to give ourselves a justification for our actions,to give ourselves limits and to distinct what we consider to be good or bad... I won't be surprise if we have a church for agnostic or atheist in the future. Why this if i may ask?If the term church is redefined outside religious affiliations and broaden any organization would fit the term church'....maybe a group of ants could be a church with enough redefinitions ![]() |
FOLYKAZE:no problem.. Supernatural is a manifestation or event attributed to some force beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature.If it's above scientific understanding(which routinely employs logic) and the laws of nature(which we can understand) then how would we detect or attribute it to anything when those are the bars we use to attribute or understand things?.... For instance,using terms like "force" is an understanding of a phenomenon that has an attractive or repulsive effect on objects ....this knowledge is derived from an understanding of nature .... if the "supernatural" is above nature you won't even know what it is ...let alone be able to label it a force because nature is the ground where we pull our understanding from and terms...so how could a force be out of nature if indeed it's a force? ![]() It is supernatural when there is no explanation and mostly attributed to some forces or energy. At the point when there is exolanation, it cease been supernaturalThen the term is an argument from ignorance....everything once ceased an explanation to humans and now that we've had an understanding of them they cease to be "supernatural"....can you affirm that this trend won't go on in the far future for the things you consider "supernatural" right now? ![]() |
MizJanet has really crushed so many believers here... ![]() |
leadzeal:Not exactly or necessarily Now to your question. Note that I am not trying to down play it but we all know the answer as a lot to with the popular phrase of "the gods must be angry" with the inflicted person or tribe or nation. Explain coherently please.... |
FOLYKAZE:One very basic thing i don't get about supposed "supernatural" phenomenon is that,can we still call it "supernatural" when it manifests in nature or perceptible reality? For instance we could say a person believes someone with two heads is "supernatural" but when it comes down to it...it's a natural occurence due to mutations....can naturalistic explanations ever be separated to really conclude something to be "supernatural" or "above nature"? |
leadzeal:A simple question.....what caused diseases before any pathogen was discovered? Or how could those diseases exist since the cause was non-existent till investigation?.... Are you a solipsist? |
UyiIredia:How can i exclude "god" when the very premise of it's existence is not upon me to prove? ![]() |
Joshthefirst:I admit to have been fooling around with creationists here but lets get serious(who knows,your answers may make me a creationist )With that definition would it be safe to say everything in the universe has a purpose? |
This takes me back to my days of being a conspiracy theorist...my icon was a crazy nutty called alex jones...good thing i broke free from such nonsense ![]() |
How is it your problem if two people decide to start dating? ![]() |
freecocoa:He's been indoctrinated thoroughly... His mind is basically gay=pedophile.. feminism=men hating skanks.. atheist=demon.. believer who disagrees=atheist,that's the usual thought of the flock |
Oselumhe:Has she mentioned any theories? |
frosbel:It's not like there's a choice... unbelief=hell...that's the ideology isn't it.. |
NO |
davidylan:I'd rather try to find out than accept just any explanation...seems the intellectually honest way to go... |
davidylan:Yep and in all else you'd say a wizard is sufficient to explain the origin of everything... ![]() |
KingEbukasBlog:When someone points out you've made an illogical fallacy and you respond he didn't refute you... stupidi.ty levels are well past beyond breaking points here.. ![]() |
davidylan:The difference is KEB's quote is there for all to see....all you can do is say random off-hand comments over and over again ... ![]() |
davidylan:About the guy that says it's science but can't list one experiment ever done to attest to any of it's claims....like where said designer/designers came from... Instead you put together responses like the human dna can fit in a pin point therefore ID lol!.. |
KingEbukasBlog:So your logic is since the same materials for soil are also found in your body therefore ground=body your stupidi.ty levels are rising i can see.... and a nice equivocation fallacy ![]() |
davidylan:It addresses the "statistical improbability" of events which you claim makes life impossible therefore 2+2= god and why such arguements fail fundamentally because the odds of finding anything a particular way is astronomical.... |
davidylan:How life began is not known..how species originate by diverging and inheritance of traits is evolution... |
davidylan:[url] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKPrBV_PCKs [/url] |
davidylan:And isn't evolution about the origin of species? In one article an hypothesis was verified... http://www.nature.com/news/mystery-of-darwin-s-strange-animals-solved-1.17138 |
davidylan:okay then,here's some nature articles http://www.nature.com/news/new-species-of-early-human-discovered-near-fossil-of-lucy-1.17644 http://www.nature.com/news/ancient-wolf-genome-pushes-back-dawn-of-the-dog-1.17607 http://www.nature.com/news/dino-chickens-reveal-how-the-beak-was-born-1.17507 http://www.nature.com/news/homo-erectus-footprints-hint-at-ancient-hunting-party-1.17346 http://www.nature.com/news/mystery-of-darwin-s-strange-animals-solved-1.17138 let me guess,someone paid them? ![]() |
davidylan:Did i claim every proponent of ID is a christian or you mixed up the context as usual... |
KingEbukasBlog:dust or dead organic matter... try using dust as a fertilizer! ![]() |
davidylan:wow...so nothing else credible exists outside those...i can see an argument from authority here.. ![]() |
