Christianity Etc › Re: What's The Difference Between Living By Faith And Living By Sight? by davien(m): 4:11pm On Apr 18, 2015
efficiencie:
Now that's the thing! Faith is not necesarily the failure to use the senses.

king Amaziah, went for a battle and conquered the people he went against but oddly enough he took the gods of the people he conquered and worshipped them and the Lord God told king Amaziah:

[b] 2Chronicles 25:15...Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand?


This was a clear case of God saying: why can't you use your head

That's why i'm probing, scripturally the concept of FAITH...Faith clearly is not an excuse to be so mo.ro.nic that one can't use one's head!
doesn't the bible define it for you in Hebrews as "hope" in things not seen?

So why not have hope that by closing your eyes and neglecting traffic you can arrive safely to your destination everyday...

If you want to live by faith why not close both eyes and cross the road everyday?
Christianity Etc › Re: Opinions Are Not Facts by davien(m):
chinedu202000:
No sir, it is an inspiration of God. 2 Timothy 3:15-17 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
An inspiration is still an expressed opinion....whether you quote genesis to revelations it'll still be a claim...

If I quote Harry potter all day it wouldn't make Hogward's a real place...

Thats basic biology....higher population sizes have more genetic diversity and it's maintained by reproduction outside siblings and close relatives...
Science/Technology › Re: What Is The Argument Against Evolution? by davien(m):
KingEbukasBlog:
44 views with no reply at 4: 00 ... you and the theory are so dumb that even people who follow you and viewed it ignored you ... evolved ape ( you shouldn't find this offensive tho cool
First off,I know you're trolling(as always)...

Your response alone shows that your comment is driven not by any sort of intellectual basis but by your preference and ignorance on the subject....

Anyways lemme think of one
Let's see

1 Why did man evolve into super intelligent beings while the other animals were left far far behind.
intelligence isn't the goal of evolution....it's survival...homo sapiens and other species used whatever they could to survive...

So with opposable thumbs,a bipedal skeletal structure and a host of other changes, we made use of those changes the only way they could be used....to manipulate the environment...

2. If animals evolve to adapt to their environment and survive in it .
You could say that but more accurately...

Animals are shaped by environmental pressures(natural selection)...those that can't adapt die or are less likely to procure offspring, those that do...pass on those traits that were necessary for survival...

a. why do fishes living in the same aquatic habitat [b] look vastly different with [b] distinct features , sea creatures too . n/b they experience the same atmospheric conditions (same with other animals) Since evolutionis modification of physical features.
Did you ever study Agriculture in school?... Well if you did you should have known that fishes don't all live in the same aquatic habitat (fresh water/salt water habitats with estuarine habitats I think)...

Also not all sea creatures are fishes, some are mammals....

And to say that being exposed to the same "atmospheric conditions"(this is laughable because an "atmospheric condition" is constricted to land and/or gas bodies)

That said,environmental conditions do not produce homologous structures because each organism has to respond to those conditions differently....

An easy example is this, twins may be exposed to the same environmental conditions but their physical, mental and/or emotional response would differ sufficiently for you to determine that they're distinct in little but noticeable ways....let those changes go through the years and you have a wide distinction with which to recognize them apart...

b. why do life forms die naturally . Hasn't the aim of evolution failed
And what aim might that be?....to survive doesn't equate to immortality...this is a straw man fallacy...

c. pathogens like viruses , fungi came from that one single cell right. Why did nature evolve pathogens that prevent the survival of its life forms
Viruses don't originate from cells....they merely are non-living crystallized pieces of genetic code that hijack living cells to reproduce...their reproduction may interfere with the organism or may simply integrate itself into it's dna causing no effect and may even be useful....note this study that demonstrated that http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v516/n7529/full/nature13960.html )

Furthermore it doesn't matter if viruses and other pathogens help, harm or are indifferent to you because "nature" is not an anthropomorphic entity that should express any opinion towards you...

3. how sensible does this sound to you . A single cell evolving into super -complex species , organs , systems with specified complex functions
What's sensible or not is of no use to tell the truth of things..evidence and inquiry have often made the things we comforted not sensible to be sensible today....(primitives once thought it's not sensible to think the earth isn't flat)

And most embarrassingly ignorant of you is that, single cells really do form organs, systems,etc by mitosis....or have you forgotten basic biology? undecided

4. Why do single cells presumably involved in evolution , still exist today
You can't have life without cells-basic biology...

Life evolves and to do that it needs it's building blocks-cells...

And evolution works with the most adaptable structure....so what's more adaptable than a cell that would be sufficient enough to cause cells to be selected against?

5. Do you accept the "fact" that in two billion years time , single cells could evolve into new creatures ; man with new physical features
Evolution is simply defined as "change over time" or biologically speaking the descent of reproductive populations through change...

That being said you should know that all life changes(evolves)....And every creature is basically a new unique one that's still under a parent genera..


6. Looking at cosmic evolution , explain the nature of forces and why do they exist fully on earth . Simply m how come these forces are felt differently
So in a topic of biological evolution you jump to astronomy?

Like I said earlier evolution means "change over time", so many fields(biology, meteorology, geology, etc) would have a comprehensive study of the evolution(again, change over time) of one thing or the other...

If you like to see the explanation of forces and why forces act then open a physics textbook....nobody owes you one....you can either stay willfully ignorant or get the education...

Nobody also owes you a "why things exist" just as nobody owes you "why things don't exist"....so you could either investigate that which you can or develop that inquiry into a testable hypothesis...

7. Where did the first cell come from
How is the location of "the first cell" a consideration in disproving evolution?...

Even still I put quotes on that(first cell) because at no point in time did a cell become "the first cell" because there were still precursors to cells then and even today our mitochondria dna in our cells have been traced to a recent(recent in years relative to mankind)population..


Your post is just founded in ignorance of basic knowledge and a mix of fallacies(mainly equivocation, straw-man and arguments from ignorance)....I'd be ashamed of your intelligence if I didn't already know you to be a troll.....

Right now you might have probably just ignored the bulk of my posts and scrolled down to continue trolling so that you'd have an audience for your blunt ignorance....

If such the organisms involved contain much genetic diversity it is possible.
You've shot yourself in the foot here...how much genetic diversity can two individuals possess to not produce inbred offspring?... undecided
Can you see the problem now? grin

For two organisms to produce genetically diverse offspring they have to be reproducing outside their offspring and close relatives... grin

Bonetoy:
This does not disprove anything. Incest happened to populate the world. It was not looked down upon in that day because it was necessary. Later God gave new laws against incest in Leviticus 18:6, as he tells Moses his new laws, "None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their unclothedness:"



There was obviously no research done for this claim. Even science points to all humans descending from one mother. Research Mitochondrial Eve.



I usually leave the images out, but this one here shows that, again, there was no research done to validate this claim.
Genesis 5 3-4
"And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth:"
"And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:"
lol this has got to be the most ridiculous comment I've seen so far today....inbreeding populated the world?
How's about you go learn how that's biologically impossible ....

http://helorimer.people.ysu.edu/inbred.html


Here's a simple example....When you have two rabbits, get them to mate and produce offspring....and have those offspring mate within themselves.....it reaches a time when the 3rd generation and above are either sterile mutants, sickly mutants or dead...

It chases away(or more accurately irritates) most arthropods though...scorpions, spiders,etc can't stand crude oil and it's derivatives....

Wait! shocked Doesn't that mean scorpions and the likes are spirits? grin

Superstitions often lead to the wrong conclusion....is someone mad or possessed, is someone having epilepsy or being attacked by spirits, is someone having malaria or bad blood.....

mjustcurious
This is a good question...many people are born with mental diseases and disorders that alter personality and perception...some mildly and some to the extreme, which makes them commit unthinkable crimes....Where will they spend "eternity"?

Or what about non-viable embryos...do they count as people?

A normal human judge doesn't charge the criminally insane on the fact of mental insanity.....Yahweh the "just/merciful judge" does?... undecided

Bros Davien please don't be wise pass your self the head wey u dey use think All this "logic" it's still God that gave you the brain power. Trying to use "logic" to describe or understand God is fruitless and leads u to more confusing. That's y Christianity is not about us really understanding everything it's just about you believing what your told because you believe and have faith that's what is counted as righteousness. [/b]You believe God, sometimes he might not give u the proofs u want cos he has no obligation to satisfy your selfish, self centered curiosity. [b] God no be ur mate. Be careful. If u don't believe him it best u keep shut. Don't argue what u can't understand.
No "god/gods" gave me my knowledge...I attained it myself...

And believing what you're told is what led to mass suicides of a lot of people because they believed they were doing the righteous thing...

I won't keep shut because you feel offended by my questions...either answer intelligently our ignore it...

God created the world by Word, there by HE created from nothing using something. If you believe nothing can come out of nothing, then you should be a theist, because Something which created nothing and something must be God.
I don't know if nothing can come from nothing because in no point in time did anyone observe a "nothing" to begin with...

And since when do things create nothing?...

What something can you prove produces a nothing? grin

No it's not....a conclusion is not based on a proof of non-existence....otherwise you'd mean a super-god above your "god" is real because it has no disprove....can you disprove super-god?

Can you even tell me one deity that's been disproven?

Is the promise of heaven which is a future event provable? We can only hope for it due to the precedent of THAT which has promised.
So it's blind faith then..

You actually don't have a valid point here because Faith (substance of things hoped for, evidence of things not seen) is not needed here, the only place we need Faith as Christians is in the promise of heaven and favours from God.
