I hereby challenge the CENTRAL BANK of NIGERIA'S governor and the members of the monetary policy committee to a debate on their monetary and exchange rate policies which I believe to be careless and reckless and are causing devastation on the health of the economy.

Hi nairalanders,

I believe that I have finally found the girl I would love to spend the rest of my live with. Prayed and one night i saw a girl in my dreams. I dont know her....., that week was standing in from of my estate gate when one of the two girls walking into the estate approached me and invited me to a church program that week sunday..., I obliged as she was unrelenting in persuasion. On Saturday before the sunday I received a phone call from another lady to confirm if i ll honour the invitation which I said yes. On the sunday when i got to the church the lady that called me was the one in front door welcome people...guess what, she looks exactly like the girl I saw in my dream...., is this for real, is she the one? I keep asking myself. Cus it is too much of a coincidence. So after church, i didnt see her again, but have her number as she already called my the day before. So whatapped her to tell her i enjoyed the service and thanked her for the invitation.

So i kept in touch with her every now and then just to build familiarity and later I asked her if we can be friends. Of which she said that we are already friends that we are not enemies. When a lady uses this line you all can read between the lines right. I have tried countless times to ask her out ....she do agree but always cancels when the date is close. So I gave up asking her out ....i started thinking about a new strategy....I remembered a friend saying that the fastest way to a lady's heart is through gifts...., so i got her a very nice gown, and have to think of a very good excuse for getting her a gown....so i told her i went shopping and i happened to see the gown on a mannequin and saw that the gown would be so perfect on her, so i got it. That i would feel so bad if i walked pass. She paused for a while, never said a word, for about 15min, later she said why did I get her a gift without first letting her know..., i told her it was meant to be a surprise...she refused to accept it. Disaster.

I apologise and let it go. Kept the gift at home. So with time i engaged her in conversation and asked her if i could come visit her. She agreed, so in the evening i drove down to her place about 5min drive. I got there. We chatted for a while and i left. The next two days i asked her again if i could come, she agreed this time i got her fruit juice and priggles...she accepted ...we are finally gradually becoming good friends....the next time i was visiting i reminded her that i still have the gown, that i dont know what to do with it. Begged her to please accept...she said its ok that i can bring along...she accpeted....never happier....right now she is the one that wznts me to come visit....

So my problem now which i really need help from you guys is that i want to break it to her that I want to spend the rest of my live with her. But dont know how to go about it. A friend said i should try and get to speak to her mum, while doing that, i should do everything i can not to let her father set eyes on me....that fathers are overly protective of their girl children.

How do i get to speak to her mum, she does not live in the same town. She lives in a different state. How do i get her to let me speak to her mum...that would be very weird to her as i have not made my intentions known to her.

Should i tell her my intentions now cus i think it might be too early....so her attitude would not change as i am just getting to know her. Want to be friends or court her for like 6 months before marrying her.

Please whats the best way to go about it.

She stays with her elder sister her....have not met her yet..., as my friends told me to go through the mum....so what do you guys advise?

I guess you guys would heard the the airtel unlimited 10, 15, and 20. Well, I went to airtel shop yesterday to enquire and buy it.

There is a promo on their internet wifi, moderm, and dongles. The one I paid for was the unlimited 10. But if you pay for 2 months, which is 20k they will give you a free wifi device (pic attached), and three months subscription of that package. Which i think is the best currently on the market.

You can't get any deal better than this. Although there idea of unlimited is greatly flawed. I don't know why no one in this country Nigeria is truthful. It is not truely unlimited in any ramifications you might want to consider it.

What they have done is that if you buy the unlimited 10, 15 0r 20, they will give you a certain amount of data. There is actually a limit. Infact there are two limits. Take the unlimited 10, which i went for. They gave me 40GB, unthrottled. But if i exhaust this 40GB, then the data throttling will kick in.

They will throttle the data and i will not use more than 60GB. So therefore I have a maximum of 40GB, unthrottled, then another 60GB throttled. Altogether 100GB in one month. But i will not exceed this 100GB in a month. if I happend to exhaust it before the months runs out my network will stop functioning. It is truly not unlimited, but it is the best in the market I would think. The same goes for the unlimited 15 and 20, the difference between each is that you'd get a higher data limits.

The reason why I say it is still the best is that for the unlimited 10 for instance, if you pay for two months, you get a free WiFi device, and an option of a 3 months unlimted data (it is not unlimted as i explained above, they just called it that) which is like 100GB of data each month. Totalling 300GB.

Nairalanders. .. I feel compelled to share this strange experience I just had with a colleage. And In need of your advice.

Just for a brief introduction, am presently a serving corper, posted to nasarawa in one of the interior villages after Akwanga. Batch B 2015, stream 2. Our session started last year, to round off this year September. I am just an average corper, just that I had the opportunity to work a little before coming for service, by God's grace I was able to get for myself a Nissan Murano Suv which I took with me to my Place of primary Assignment. Because of accommodation issues I was not steady. It was this April that I was able to get something reasonable. Before now, I have already acquainted myself with a colleague, a female corper, lets call her Shiela . Not that I am not acquainted to others, just that we talk a little bit more than the rest, and she gives me heads up on any activity pertaining to our ppa. When I came back this april I was now hearing gist about her going out with me and it has kind of created some sort of faces off between her and some other female corpers. I dont know details and I just dont want to know.

Fast ward to the real issue. Since I now have a good and relatively decent accommodation am now more stable. My accomodation even has a split unit air condition and we happen to have relatively constant power suppy, some few friends do come to cool off on a very hot day. And this accommodation is just one thousand naira per month. It has toilet and bath inside and I know what you are thinking, it is a village. Thats why it is that cheap and the land lords are not greedy. In this accommodation I happen to live with three other female corpers, they have their separate rooms. Last week one of them callled me out and told me to be very careful with shiela. She even had to be specific and told me never to eat whatever she gives me or cook. To be honest. I was surprise to hear this and I became I little scared. I didnt ask further question I just thanked her for that information and she left. I couldn't just stop thinking about what she just told me. What could be more scary than what I just heard. It completely changed my perception about her. The next time I saw her out side I contemplated what to do, should I walk the other way or pretend I didnt see her, while in my contemplative mode I saw her walking towards my direction. When she got close I had to say hello and she responded. From my interactions with her, even before now, she seems to be a very nice lady. But sometimes her disposition do change from all happy to a sudden sadness at a moment notice. I have now started to notice. I even asked why she does that, she said its nothing. Within me I just decided that we can just be friends but would never have picnic together. Last sunday was the general market day for that village. The villagers do bring their freshly harvested organic farm products to the market. On the Saturday before the market day I stupidly told her why we are having conversation that I will be going to the market on sunday to get cooking stuffs cus I want to preparing some soup. So on sunday I went to the market, got everything that I needed for the soup but I didn't get meat. They only have one meat seller in the whole market and he wasn’t at the market at the time I was there. So I went home hoping to come back later that same day to check if the meat seller is in. While I was at home cooling off in the afternoon my phone rang, it was shiela, she told me that she will come to help me cook the soup. It was like a nightmare coming true. What have I gotten myself into, how can I gently tell her I dont want her help without her getting upset. I was lucky I didn't get the meat, so I told her that I wouldn't be able to cook cus I could not get any meat from the market. She now suggested that I should go for fish instead since there is no meat. I responded that I can't go back to the market, that I won't be able to cook again that day. She now said I shouldn't worry that tomorrow that she will accompany me to the cold room to buy fish. It now seems that there is no way of avioding it, so I decided within myself that I will give just her this opportunity to help me cook, but I must be present to also help and monitor what goes into the cooking. So on monday, my phone rang, it was her. She is ready and waiting for me. So I dressed up and left to get her from her house. On getting to house her, she was already all dressed and sitted on the pavement close to her door. When I got close, we greeted and I want to sit by her side for while as I was a liitle tired from the walk. It happens that there was something in a black lylon bag at the spot I want to sit. So I picked it up to sit. Immediately I picked it up, she rushed and grabbed it from my hand. I asked her why she had to grab it, she could have asked me to give it to her. She apologised. I asked her whats in the bag anyway. She said its nothing. I became curious and wanted to really know. That was when she told me its Maggie (spice for cooking). I told her if I could take a look, she decline and refused. I kept insisting in a joking manner. At last, she gave it to me, when I looked inside, there was Maggie and one other grinded stuffs that is brownish in colour. I dont know what it is, so I asked her what that is, she told me its a local Maggie. I thought to myself why she would behave like that just because of Maggie. Well, the reason is best known to her, and since I have nothing to do with the Maggi I didnt really mind if it's local Maggie or not. We got up and started heading to the cold room, as she got up, she took the bag and I was thinking she will go into her room to drop it off, but she didn't. She is bringing it along with us. Well, on our way to the cold room, all I could do was contemplate on why she would bring that with us. And given the way she behaved when I took it bothered me alot that she is bringing it along, knowing that we would be going to my house from there, and I don't want that local Maggi any where close to my house. I couldnt help but to ask her why she is bringing the bag along. She now told me that she will use it to cook for me. Inside of me I scream "what? Did I just hear her. When I became my normal self, I gently told her that she should please not use the one she called local Maggie in the soup. Why would you even thinking about bringing Maggie to cook. It is something any body wanting to cook must have in this side of town. She agreed not to use it. So I was relieved.


We got the fish and went to my house. So I brought out all that we needed for the soup. After which, she gently asked me to give her chance to prepared the meal. That she wants to prepare it alone. Honestly, I love helping out in the kitchen and even if I wanted to leave her alone, now I wouldnt because I really want to be sure that she didn't put that local maggie in the meal. She insisted I leave, I told her That I really don't mind helping. And I refused to leave. All through the cooking my eyes are on that bag that contained the local Maggie and she keeps moving it from one point to the next and mixing it with other food ingredients. That got me really pissed because it has become clear to me she really wants to put it in the meal. I have now lost trace of where that bag is as a result of her moving it around cus there are a hand full of same bag lying around. So I asked that I want to smell that local maggie that if it smells nice to me I will let her use it.She refused, I sweet talked her into finally bringing it out to give to me. Was careful when I took it close to my nose. It wasn't a pleasant smell, and I told her not to use it that I dont like the smell. She agreed. It was getting dark and we are almost done with the meal when she told me she want to go to the back yard to another corper to get Garri (grinded and fried cassava). When she left, I used that opportunity to properly take a look at that local maggie, the bag it is in is a little lose, so I tighten it so hard that to take even a little you will have to destroy the bag, this is so that she wouldn't even pinch to put in the meal, and secondly if she now opens it I will know cus she will have to destroy the bag. When she came back, she went straight to the bag that has the local Maggie, she has now moved it closer to the cooking pot. The bag also contain my own Maggie cube, the one I bought. While I was busy cutting the vegetables and observing what she was doing without her knowing, she took out of some of the maggie cube, pill off the wrapper and she now took the local maggie stealthily and tear off the bag and mix it with the maggie, carry it to the pot and added it to the soup. At first, I couldn't just believe what I just saw, I really have to check and be sure. So I went and asked her to put a little of that local maggie in the soup. She said no, that since I don't want it that she will not. Of course, I already know she has put it in the soup. So I went straight to the bag and looked for the local maggie, lo and behold, it has been torn and without content. The local maggie was in a white lylon bag which is place inside the black lylon bag. I can only see that same bag I tightened, but this time, torn and without its content. I pick up the white lylon bag raise it up so she could see it and asked her what she did with the local maggie. She responded be saying she threw away its content. I looked at her for a few seconds without saying any other word before walking outside. On my way out, she asked where I am going, I told her that am going to get some fresh air. While outside, I went nought temporary. What has she done? Why would she do this to me. Why did she just wasted my meal and all the effort and money becuase I will not eat it. Why would she want me to forcefully eat what I dont intend to eat. All these rhistorical questions I asked aloud while outside by myself but no answers. I know sometimes we have friends that will intentionally put something you don't like in your meal, so that they'll have a laugh at you later when you mistakenly eat and realised it. We are not even in such terms, I even bearly know her. But yet what ever the case might I dont believe she wants or intend to seriouly harm me. My fear is that I dont want to become anyone's puppy. She is not even my type of person in that sense. I know there some girls God took time to create that are out there that you would even pray to become their puppy. But not this one, or at least, not to me.

When I came back she is getting ready to prepare the garri that goes with the soup. Knowing that I wouldnt eat whatever she is now preparing I didnt stop her. I let her waste her strength and time preparing it. After all, she has caused me more pain and I will not only have go to bed hungry, I will also have to wait till sunday the market day to cook again. What kind of wickedness is this. It gets me angry each time I think about it. I am even angry now that I am talking about it to you. So while she was making the garri, the corper she went to get the garri from came in, he is my friend also. So I told her to make for him as well. When done, she told us she will like to eat at her home, so she took hers and left. The dilemma now is, since am not eating, should I allow my corper friend to eat this soup or not? If I don't want him to eat it I will have to tell him why, because the soup is already place in front of him. Well, I starting be telling him that I am hungry, but am not eating that soup. He looked at me like I was joking. I now asked him to leave the soup where it is and come with me. We went outside the compound and I told him everything. He was shocked to hear it. And refused to eat. So we both took our portions to the fence, we looked at selves, looked at the soup, I can see that the aroma from the soup is beginning to take hold on him from the way he was sniffing in the air around the soup. I told him to stop sniffing or else our effort will be furtile assuming that the soup is really spiked. At last we angrily threw the soup and garri over the fence with reckless abandonment.


We came back in to gists, I can see he feels sorry for me because I will have to throw away a whole pot of freshly made soup. He offered to me the remainder of his Egesi soup he prepared before now. I thank him, and refused because I was still angry at the whole thing.

Please Nairalanders if you were in my shoes what will you do. Should I pretend like it never happened but keep my distance? I don't think keeping of distance will work, cus if I do keep distance she will close it my still coming around. I dont know to gently tell her to stay away. What should I do please guys.

Letter to the sun

by jessica hyndman

It’s pretty clear by now that Kim Kardashian has a profound impact on men, but an artist from Denmark has just taken things to a whole new level.

Uwe Max Jensen, a 44-year-old Danish performance artist, actually painted a portrait of Kim’s now-infamous Paper magazine spread with his penis. As in, he used his penis as a brush.

“I have my penis in one hand and the canvas in the other,” he told the Daily Dot. “I have a very skilled penis, art-wise.”

Indeed.

The artist says he was inspired by Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe prints, labeling Kim K “a sort of Marilyn Monroe of this decade.”

The painting measures 30 by 40 centimeters and uses acrylic paint as the medium of choice. Jensen said it took about 8-10 hours to complete the piece, using his natural gift to produce the delicate details.

“If one is ill-equipped, it is difficult to reproduce the small details,” he told the Copenhagen Post. “But if one is well-endowed, it is easier to produce a better painting.”

Good to know.

Despite the difficult trek from paint to paper, the artist is completely satisfied with his instrument.

“My penis is an organ. I need it to reproduce, and for sex and joy,” Jensen said. “But I can also use it in my art, and that’s joyful for me on more levels.”

Funny things babies do with status

THE COSMIC EVOLUTION
I am going to begin with the cosmic evolution. This is because cosmic evolution is the first in the line of the evolutionary theories. Followed by biological evolution. I will like to point out that they do not follow in that order, it is just the order i wish to discuss them.

It is imperative at juncture that i point out false dichotomous views regarding religion, science and atheist. It is very obvious that religion is not science, Neither is atheism. Science is science thats if i can put it that way. Science is neutral, and can be used by anyone to prove or disprove material or physical things. Atheist can use science to prove a point, same goes for religious people. And there are limitations to what science can prove. Like the existence of God, science can neither prove nor disprove it. It is often said that the God question is beyond the realms of science.

It goes without saying that the most problematic explanation of the cosmos and subsequently life, is the explanation of the first cause. Of course, as for the cosmos, this explanation must be such that has nothing to with matter, energy, space, time or physical and naturally occurring things, the universe.
At this point, one of the the most important question to ask is; what is a universe? Some define the universe as all of observable reality, all that can be seen and detected. All of nature, everything natural.

When it comes to the universe, only one of the following is true.
Either the universe created itself, or
it is uncreated or
it was created by a transcendent being.

It can only be one of the above. But since we now know not only through the discovery of the "radiation after glow" and "the red shift" that the universe was created at a particular time in the past, the question and option of the universe being uncreated goes out the window faster than it was suggested. so with the universe being uncreated out of the way, we will now be left with only just two possibilities. So, either the universe was created by a transcendent being or it created itself. It can only be one of the above.

Now, lets consider the possibility of the universe creating itself. I will like to remind the readers that at this point or before the universe came into being there was "nothing", no matter, no laws of nature, no energy, no time, no space. Or according to one famous astrophysicist, "no nothing" ( of course, thats a grammatical blunder). I understand that when it comes to the issues of contemplating and assesing the ramifications of theories pertaining to creation, and the first cause, ones way of expressions begins to deteriorate. Words cannot be adequately put to good use. Back to the point. It goes without saying that the question of the universe creating itself literally makes no logic sense because we can't possibly conceive how this could have happened when nothing existed. For "all things" all of nature, all laws" was created when the universe was created. So if "everything" was created during or subsequently after the big bang, the big question now will be with what did the universe created itself? Because prior to the universe coming into existence, nothing existed. Not only do scientists believe that nothing existed prior to the big bang, they believe if something existed before the big bang it must be unnatural, must not have any physical or material property . This is because everything natural was created during the big bang. So therefore, there is no possible naturalistic explanations of the origins of the universe. This is the single most reason why honest scientists will say they don't know what caused the big bang.

I aware of some scientists theorising that laws of quantum mechanics might be what created the universe. Now for the laws of quantum mechanics to be able to create the universe, it must first not be in the universe it sorts to create. In other words the laws will transcend the universe and be outside the universe. I should bring to our attention that there is no way we could be able to know what existed before the big bang, not even the laws of quantum mechanics. So for those scientist that believe in this law, how is this different from someone who believe there is an intelligent mind before the universe was created? Since atheist and evolutionist liked someone's who believe in an intelligent mind (God) as hallucination, or as a delusion, as Richard Dawkin often potray, trying to convince anyone that the universe might or is created by the laws of quantum mechanics is like curing someone that believed in a creator God from delusion and hallucination just to give him/her a different set of delusional or hallucinogenic pills to continue on the path of delusion.

But for the sake of clarity, Lets just entertain the idea that the universe really created itself. The options at this point is that, the universe will either created itself from something thats already in existence or it created itself out of something that is not in existence (does that sound weird to your ears). It can only be one of the above, anyone that has a third option should please let me know. But before we consider any of the two possibilities, I will like to make something clear. The words "created itself" presupposes a kind of consciousness of the universe. If the universe created itself, did it do it knowing what it was doing? Scientist have made it clear that the universe was not self aware so if it created itself it must be through a freak accident. For all intent and purpose, the universe might not even know it is existing.

Lets consider the first option. If the universe really created itself from something thats already in existence, it will make logical sense to abandon the question of how the universe was created, to the question of how the thing that created the universe was created. Suppose still that this thing that created our universe was yet created by another thing, it will make logical sense to abandon the question of how the thing that created our universe was created to the question of how the thing that created the thing that created our universe was created. While we will keep going in this direction, someone mighty actually go mad, another mighty suggest that we skip to the first cause in these line of causes. If we can establish this first cause, thats all that matters. Then it will make sense to abandon the series of causes for the scientists to study and understand. If you read to this point you might have notice that I left out that the first cause must in itself be uncaused or esle we will keep going on for infinite. I left this out deliberately so I won't be accused of assuming purpose, or knowing an answer before asking a question. And that the first cause is God.

The second option in the universe creating itself, was that it created itself from something that is not in existence (in other words "created itself from nothing". As for me, honestly, I wouldn't give this a second thought before discarding it. But I will demonstrate with logic and reason that some desperate alternatives looking atheists and evolutionists in the likes of physicist Lawrences Krauss and the famous British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins are actually entertaining this idea. That the universe created itself from "nothing". The question that comes to mind according to a famous philosopher Gottfried Leibniz is that "Why would there want to be something out of nothing" For we know out of nothing, nothing comes. Unless it is not "nothing" in the sense of how we use the word.

After reading Lawrence Krauss book "a universe from nothing" even an slowpoke would be able to tell that what lawrence is referring as "nothing" is not "nothing, but a deliberate equivocation with intent to misslead gullible individuals. At one point, he would say that it is likely given what we know, that the universe is created by (or from) nothing through the laws of nature. At this point, understanding english language to the letters becomes very imperative. The word "by" and "from", assumes there be something through which the universe is created and this something is called "nothing". This is very clear in lawrence's description of the nothing that created the universe when he said this nothing is "unstable", and is the absence of something. I think we should be reminded that the word "nothing" in english is a universal negation, meaning "not anything" and should not be used to mean "somthing". Not to mention, Lawrence krauss is an america, his first language or mother tongue is english. One might begin to wander why he has decided to use English language in this manner. I have come to realise that there are two reasons why he might want to use English Language in this manner.

The first is that he may be attempting to solve the unsolvable problem regarding question of the first cause without the need for a transcendent being, through bait and switch. For example, if you are told the universe was created by ( or from) something, the next question would be how or what created that something? We can keep regressing the prior causes for infinite which does not make any sense. But If you are told that the universe was created by (or from) nothing, and knowing what nothing generally mean in english language you would not go ahead to asked how this "nothing" is created, that would now be a stupid question. The second reason is that he is trying to be the charles dawin of cosmology, of the origin of the universe.

Therefore to summarise the above points; for the issues of the universe creating itself. We know nothing existed before the universe was created. So therefore, technically there should be nothing for the universe to created itself with . Scientists understand this. Thats one of the reasons why Lawrence Krauss twisted the meaning of "nothing" to mean the absence of something in order to show that the universe was created from nothing. This is because the universe logically should be created from "nothing" if truly nothing existed prior to its creation. This is one area that gave credit to creationists (people that believe in a creator God who created the universe from nothing). For a beginner all these might sound really confusing and senseless. And I wound say it sounds senseless because it is really senseless.

According to creationists and the bible, the universe was created ex nihilo (from absolutely nothing) by divine command from creator God. In the book of genesis which is contained in the Torah( the first five books of the old testament written over two thousand years ago) we are meant to understand that God created the universe from absolutely nothing. At first, evolutionist and Atheist never believed the universe was created from nothing, they believed in a static and uncreated universe. According to them the universe was eternal and therefore no need for a creator God. But with the advancement of science since its inception over five hundred years ago, we now know that the universe was created at a particular time in the past through the big bang. As a result all scientific effort was geared towards finding what caused this big bang. At the end, it was believed that whatever caused the big bang is unnatural as already explained above. Because prior to the big bang, nothing existed. So therefore, the universe has to be created from nothing. This is exactly what the bible ( written over two thousand years ago) said in the beginning, that a creator God created the universe ex nihilo ( from absolutely nothing). At the moment, given the overwhelming evidence evolutionist and Atheist had to believe that the universe was created ex nihilo, but reject the idea that it was created by a creator God. But rather believe that it was created by nothing by the laws of quantum mechanics. And one of those militant atheist is Lawrence Krauss as portrayed in his book "a universe from nothing, why there is something rather than nothing".

In conclusion, I would say that it is much more rational and logical to believe that there is an intelligent mind behind the creation of the universe that existence prior to the universe than to believe in quantum fluctuation that may or may not exist. On the origin of life, I will be addressing that in my next article.

The big question: How did the universe came to be?

Now, This is going to be my personal reflections on what I think about the creation of the universe. This reflection is going to be based on reason only, with no intention to appeal to the scripture or revelations. while doing so I will like to keep an open mind, as one writer rightly said, but not so open that my brain would fall out. In other words, the use of reasoning, logic and common sense is all that matter. This leaves rooms for sceptic altitude towards what I will be reflecting on.

It is undoubted that the universe is a marvel to behold. The sheer majesty of the universe are mind boggling. Saying the universe is an ever incomprehensible wonder is an understatement. Earth is the most luxurious place for life, it is known to be the only place to support life. The ingredient necessary for life to flourish can not only be found on earth but also in space. Without the sun to give its energy there will be no life. Without the oxygen, aside for respiration, there will be no ozone layer to protect life from the constant bombardment of the earths atmosphere by deadly cosmic rays. Without the rotation of the earth on its axis there will be no life. Without gravity, people would probably be flying off the surface of the earth into space. This same gravity that gave human a sense of right side up. In space where there is little or no gravity there is no right side up. There is no up or down, so to speak. I can go on and on to the point of almost infinite on the wonders of the universe.

For those that don't believe in an intelligent mind behind the creation of the universe They are faced with an ever insurmountable problem about where matter, energy, time and space came from. For matter to be created, that means it was never in extistence, therefore what ever created matter must in it self not be matter. Same goes for time, space and energy. If they are created, that means they were never in existence before they where created, therefore, whatever created them must be outside of time and space. Some evolutionist might argue that they dont speak of the universe as being created rather it evolved. But regardless, there must be that first step. Who or what took that first step? The universe has been scientifically proven to have begun at a point in the past through the discovery of the "radiation after glow" and the "second law of thermodynamics".

There was this one time I was driving home from work in the evening. The receding sun was already on the horizon and was graciously splattering its rays through the golden cumulus clouds and on to the golden leaved trees. The scenery was just too pleasant to the eyes. I had to crave the indulgence of my friends in the car with me. After a few minuts drive, we got to the airport. Not that we are going to the airport, we were just driving through the airport when I noticed a distant plane making its way to the landing and pointed it out to my friends. On seeing the distant approaching plane, one of my friends asked me why do I look up to the skies almost all the time to the point of noticing a distant approaching plane even while driving. Well, I didnt know he noticed because I am really obessed with looking up to the skies not for anything less than wonderment.

Given my little knowledge about the universe, I am amazed and humbled by The sheer majesty of the universe. And its intricacies are mind boggling to say the least. The stars, planets, galaxies, matter, space, time, laws; everything working together to sustain the universe and sustain us humans. Each time I look up to the skies several questions come flooding to my mind. The most important and overbearing of all the questions is: How can all these come from "Nothing" with no purpose, just a random coincidence, without the help of an intelligent being?

There are several questions that can be asked when am intelligent being is taken out of the picture. And one such questions that gets me shaking is the realisation that the earth is hurtling around the sun at the speed of 67 thousand miles per hour with no one in control. Just stop reading and imagine the earth travelling at such an incredible speed around the sun with no one in control. And the sun happens to be 1.3million times the size of earth. The delicate part is that to maintain the earth's proximate location to the sun the force pulling the earth away from the sun must be exactly the same amount of the force of gravity pulling the earth to the sun. That means just one mistake, the earth could spiral out of control into the lonely, colder and darkest part of the universe where human civilization will be subjected to a farely slow and miserable cold death or worse still the earth could fall into the sun. And the effects will be like throwing a stone into a small lake. I said one mistake because nothing is certain when no one is in control. Any thing can happen at any given moment. But then scientists will say the laws of gravity and nature would not allow the earth to spiral out of control or fall into the sun. On this point, I have come to realise that the laws of nature or gravity are just extrapolations from the description and observations of how things are, and not how things must be. In other words, it is not the laws that makes earth orbit the sun, but rather, the laws are the observation of how the earth moves around the sun. But no one knows why.

Now, haven considered the debates and evidence for cosmic beginning and the theory of spontaneous generation of life as propagated by atheist and evolutionist, I would confidently say that for those who believe in these theories either do not have full understanding of the theory or are not willing to accept the alternative theory that the cosmos and everything in it, including life is created by God even if it is true. Coming from a moderate religious background, I was astonished the very first time I heard about these theories. That not only did time, space and matter was created by the cosmic big bang, that it was created from "nothing" or without any transcendent cause . That life as we know it originated from non life without the need for a creator.

This gave me sleepless night as I pondered it day and night. My curiosity peaked as I began to think about the ramifications of these assertions. How could the universe be created without a creator? How could life spontaneously come into existence from non life without the need for a creator. If the universe was created without a creator, how can this be? Did it create itself? Because according to the laws of nature matter can not create matter, energy can not create energy, neither can space and time create themselves. And to complicate things, matter, time and space are all bed mates. In order words, they are inextricable linked and intertwined. That means, one can not have matter for instance without space and time. If one has just matter without space, where would you put it. Or if you have matter and space without time, when will you put it. So matter, time and space are thought to have come into existence simultaneously. Of all these, thinking about space is the most troubling to me. I don't seem to get me head around a situation where there is no space. I can think about situation where there are no matter, or even time. But not space.

The question of how life could have started without the need for a creator is a very important one also. And as I continue to enquire further with open mind how these could be, I came to realised two kinds of false propogators. The first kind are the evolutionary biologist and scientists who are atheist. This kind of false propagators are desperately looking for alternative explanation of origins without the need for a transcendent first cause or creator at all cost even if it contravenes obivious facts. I will point out how this is evident in their descrption of the orign of the universe caused by "Nothing". The second kind of propagators are college students, university students and those who fall outside of these groups that either do not fully understand these theories or are equally desperate for an alternative explanations at all cost. For the sake of clarity, I will take each in turns. That is cosmic evolution, followed by biological evolution.
