Rubbish science...this earth is perfect and built by a wise God... God will not be heartless and foolish to create a world and also create another things to crash in anytime...

You can think and talk this way yet you will send your children to school to learn how things work.

I'm sorry for for you

How about what every Christian Arabian youth should avoid?

Mysticwebb:
Is it after they have done some clean up?
I no trust them, why deny them access initially. Then took some hours to follow backyard do some clean up.

No matter the conclusions we can conclude that the investigation is inconclusive.

Petty mosquito brained children

Ibo owns 90% of Lagos, how come the people killed are only Yoruba?

Imbeciles everywhere

THE CABLE

Don't mind the imbeciles shouting tinubu up and down

I respect tinubu's patience, he's not the one directing the army. Buhari did that.

Eeyah, I remembered when I walked out of the office because I was not ok with what my boss gave me to do. I got fired for it and I tried blaming it on church denominations.
Now looking back I knew if my subordinates do the same I will sack them immediately.

Madam, your insubordination and unprofessional behavior sacked you, not bourdillon.

MansoryMX:
What if as time goes humans are able to travel with the speed of light to one these earth like planet, what will be come of religion??

Nothing will come of religion, those who believes what they believe will still believe it, except for those who believes in ignorance. Physical and spiritual are two different things scientists work in the physical realm and they are producing results, this is different from spiritual realm

RedBlood01:
why is everybody quoting Righteousness89, i still don't see anything wrong with his comment please you people should leave him alone. Righteousness89 continue the good works of God, he that have ear let him hear. ear were no gree hear the day them go cut head, them go cut both head and ear. onye nwere nti ya nuru

Bros, there's everything wrong with his comment.
First the Bible talks mostly about spiritual heaven and these scientists are researching and talking physical bodies which does not correlate. This shows he's very ignorant even about the things he preaches. There are things to talk about when you know and there are things you keep silent when you don't know.

demmie1:
How about the third presupposition that God created a system that triggers life to come into being and set this system in different places to flourish with different laws working with the system? Pls don't be shallow.

Does anyone have fourth and fifth presupposition?

Pelecius:
It all starts with a presupposition.

If one believes the Bible and that God created the universe, yet made earth a dwelling place for life, then we are alone.

The other (reigning) hypothesis is to believe that God did not create life but life arose from chemicals who assembled themselves just by chance (against all odds), then one can believe that we are not alone and with same believe, chemicals on other 'earth like' planets must have assembled themselves to create (without any intelligence involved)

The question now is that how can you prove that one who has the first presupposition needs help as you claim?
How is the second believe better than the first believe?

How about the third presupposition that God created a system that triggers life to come into being and set this system in different places to flourish with different laws working with the system? Pls don't be shallow.

Righteousness89:
The Word of GOD is the Hand Book and Manual that Guides the Universe..
In the Beginning, GOD Created the Heaven and Earth. That is Final

The Only Place Suitable for Life outside Earth is HEAVEN.
HEAVEN is a Place Specially Created by God For All who Accept the Free Gift of Salvation Given by JESUS Christ ..

Heaven is a Place where all Tears, Pains and Worries will be Wiped away..

Heaven is the Consolation of the Righteous..

The Next Place Humans will be is Hell Fire!
It's for all who Reject God's Free Gift of Salvation..
It's a Place for all who see no need to be Saved..

Whatever any mere Human says that does not Tally with the Word of God is Mere talks..

Keep up the ignorance. All the best.

What oshoba said was right, obasanjo threw enormous sum of money out for his third term bid and a lot of lawmakers took it especially in the East and the middle belt, they were the ones that kept quiet mostly about it, not that other regions did not collect it, and where did the money come from? Investigate the $8 billion they wasted on power and you will know. After failing to achieve it, he came down hard on those who opposed him; atiku, tinubu's Lagos, ladoke and many more using federal might.

ENIGMATIC2023:
See a psychiatrist asap

The same way they told copernicus to see a psychiatrist in his time when he told the Christian leaders the earth goes round the sun and not the other way round. Oh sorry, they tried to kill for refuting their ignorance.

DeusXmachina:
The flood myth is one of such examples.
This is the flood story according to the epic of Gilgamesh. The Babylonian/Mesopotamian story that is, the Sumerian one is slightly different, but the table is heavily fragmented.
This is based on the nearly completed tables found.

Ea leaks the secret plan
Utnapishtim tells Gilgamesh a secret story that begins in the old city of Shuruppak on the banks of the Euphrates River.
The "great gods" Anu, Enlil, Ninurta, Ennugi, and Ea were sworn to secrecy about their plan to cause the flood.
But the god Ea (Sumerian god Enki) repeated the plan to Utnapishtim through a reed wall in a reed house.
Ea commanded Utnapishtim to demolish his house and build a boat, regardless of the cost, to keep living beings alive.
The boat must have equal dimensions with corresponding width and length and be covered over like Apsu boats.
Utnapishtim promised to do what Ea commanded.
He asked Ea what he should say to the city elders and the population.
Ea tells him to say that Enlil has rejected him and he can no longer reside in the city or set foot in Enlil's territory.
He should also say that he will go down to the Apsu "to live with my lord Ea".
Note: 'Apsu' can refer to a fresh water marsh near the temple of Ea/Enki at the city of Eridu.

Building and launching the boat
Carpenters, reed workers, and other people assembled one morning.
[missing lines]
Five days later, Utnapishtim laid out the exterior walls of the boat of 120 cubits.
The sides of the superstructure had equal lengths of 120 cubits. He also made a drawing of the interior structure.
The boat had six decks divided into seven and nine compartments.
Water plugs were driven into the middle part.
Punting poles and other necessary things were laid in.
Three times 3,600 units of raw bitumen were melted in a kiln and three times 3,600 units of oil were used in addition to two times 3,600 units of oil that were stored in the boat.
Oxen and sheep were slaughtered and ale, beer, oil, and wine were distributed to the workmen, like at a new year's festival.
When the boat was finished, the launch was very difficult. A runway of poles was used to slide the boat into the water.
Two-thirds of the boat was in the water.
Utnapishtim loaded his silver and gold into the boat.
He loaded "all the living beings that I had."
His relatives and craftsmen, and "all the beasts and animals of the field" boarded the boat.
The time arrived, as stated by the god Shamash, to seal the entry door.

The storm
Early in the morning at dawn a black cloud arose from the horizon.
The weather was frightful.
Utnapishtim boarded the boat and entrusted the boat and its contents to his boatmaster Puzurammurri who sealed the entry.
The thunder god Adad rumbled in the cloud and storm gods Shullar and Hanish went over mountains and land.
Erragal pulled out the mooring poles and the dikes overflowed.
The Annunnaki gods lit up the land with their lightning.
There was stunned shock at Adad's deeds which turned everything to blackness. The land was shattered like a pot.
All day long the south wind blew rapidly and the water overwhelmed the people like an attack.
No one could see his fellows. They could not recognize each other in the torrent.
The gods were frightened by the flood, and retreated up to the Anu heaven. They cowered like dogs lying by the outer wall.
Ishtar shrieked like a woman in childbirth.
The Mistress of the gods wailed that the old days had turned to clay because "I said evil things in the Assembly of the Gods, ordering a catastrophe to destroy my people who fill the sea like fish."
The other gods were weeping with her and sat sobbing with grief, their lips burning, parched with thirst.
The flood and wind lasted six days and six nights, flattening the land.
On the seventh day, the storm was pounding [intermittently?] like a woman in labor.

Calm after the storm
The sea calmed and the whirlwind and flood stopped. All day long there was quiet. All humans had turned to clay.
The terrain was as flat as a roof top. Utnapishtim opened a window and felt fresh air on his face.
He fell to his knees and sat weeping, tears streaming down his face. He looked for coastlines at the horizon and saw a region of land.
The boat lodged firmly on mount Nimush which held the boat for several days, allowing no swaying.
On the seventh day he released a dove that flew away, but came back to him. He released a swallow, but it also came back to him.
He released a raven which was able to eat and scratch, and did not circle back to the boat.
He then sent his livestock out in various directions.

The sacrifice

He sacrificed a sheep and offered incense at a mountainous ziggurat where he placed 14 sacrificial vessels and poured reeds, cedar, and myrtle into the fire.
The gods smelled the sweet odor of the sacrificial animal and gathered like flies over the sacrifice.
Then the great goddess arrived, lifted up her flies (beads), and said
"Ye gods, as surely as I shall not forget this lapis lazuli [amulet] around my neck, I shall be mindful of these days and never forget them! The gods may come to the sacrificial offering. But Enlil may not come, because he brought about the flood and annihilated my people without considering [the consequences]."
When Enlil arrived, he saw the boat and became furious at the Igigi gods. He said "Where did a living being escape? No man was to survive the annihilation!"
Ninurta spoke to Enlil saying "Who else but Ea could do such a thing? It is Ea who knew all of our plans."
Ea spoke to Enlil saying "It was you, the Sage of the Gods. How could you bring about a flood without consideration?"
Ea then accuses Enlil of sending a disproportionate punishment, and reminds him of the need for compassion.
Ea denies leaking the god's secret plan to Atrahasis (= Utnapishtim), admitting only sending him a dream and deflecting Enlil's attention to the flood hero.

The flood hero and his wife are granted
immortality and transported far away

Enlil then boards a boat and grasping Utnapishtim's hand, helps him and his wife aboard where they kneel. Standing between Utnapishtim and his wife, he touches their foreheads and blesses them. "Formerly Utnapishtim was a human being, but now he and his wife have become gods like us. Let Utnapishtim reside far away, at the mouth of the rivers."
Utnapishtim and his wife are transported and settled at the "mouth of the rivers".

And lo and behold, the first Hebrew was a Sumerian or descended from Sumerian = Abraham

kingxsamz:
It's not rocket science.
Certain stories/names in the bible were adapted from somewhere or events that actually happened. Same way the Spider-Man movie is based in a real location, (New York) but we can't conclude that a man who shoots spider webs and flies in the air exists.
But I don't expect much from folks who won't read the article but jump into conclusions that a donkey once talked simply because an inscription which contained a name was found.
It's only a brain dead mofo that'll believe a snake and donkey talked simply because a 2000 year old book said so.
But you'll call these same archeologists liars when they show you 'alleged' bone fossils of Dinosaurs. Who is fooling who?

Take a kiss, mmmmua!

In America, they are called motivational speakers, here in Nigeria you will hear, pastor, prophet, man of God ...and them dey do bad bad bad bad things

So far, it's Mike Bamiloye that responded to freeze in the more Christlike way, a subtle quote from the Bible the rest of you take a pick

Superpower:
why did you stop the story there.why didn't you tell us how Jesus corrected the disciple.He did not encourage his behavior

He wouldn't, cos it's the kind of doctrine he gets in his church

[color=#000000][/color]

Timi141:
Encouraging people to think is leading them astray?

Black man wake up ooooo. The people that brought you this religion have long moved on from it.

The people that used it to enslave our hearts and minds have left and we are now using it to enslave each other.

You can say things like this supporting foolish ideologies and you then act shocked when Boko Haram attacks or the Sharia court beheads someone for singing.

Think oo, think

donvoice:
But bible says the fools should be answered according to his own folly least he thinks he is wise

In the case you quoted, it's the other way around, lest you look like fool

GarangDeMabior:
They are comfortable where they are. The letter is just a mere academic exercise.

What do you enjoy in making yourself look foolish?

tamdun:
A nation is, a group of people with the same language, culture and in same geographical locations.okun people don taya
Okun people really messed up, when they were in kwara, they dominated almost all the ministry, suddenly the likes of smart adeyemi started fighting for separation and their wish was granted, now they want to come back when gara people don show them shege

See the dilemma, when they were in kwara everybody see themselves as Yoruba and no qualms about who gets what, now they moved to kogi where they believed they would get more, then there are other two ethnic groups who wanted the same. So they get nothing, the only way they will get anything is if they have a state which is not forthcoming.

It's up to Christian's to study the Bible by and for themselves, salvation does not come from following any one about be it daddy freeze or daddy GO, salvation comes from personal relationship with God.

Righteousness89:
Mr. Freeze my Advice and Admonishment to you is to leave this Grammar and Completely Surrender to JESUS Christ..

You are leading innocent Souls to Destruction and you will give Account of these Souls..

God is not Man!
God's Word does not Change because of the Changing World..

When you Make yourself an Enemy of God ! You Make a Mockery of yourself..

Quote a Bible verse he misquoted or lied abot

CodeTemplar:
Frozen brained mumu..... after sheeplelizing many folks into darkness. What he needs to do is to return to the fold of Christ the flocks he has scattered.

You mean he should go back to following manipulations?

daddytime:
I don't understand jack here.

This is a classic case of bleating from every corner of the mouth.

Tell me a politician that doesn't do that?

Ulysses71:
No qualms with what u wrote up there except you stating that america is a generic race.
while i do not know the whole history of america i know some states in america were not originally american.
california and texas(and florida too, i believe) were mexican b4 america did its thing. likewise hawaii, tho it was a seperate island b4 america, you know.

No, he doesn't know. He's a nairalander, hand faster than brain

It took them long enough, soon pdp will win the presidency back - maybe in another 20yrs - and they will shift enmass, these people never care for ideals, only money
