Some people have turned science to something else and civilization can't prove what has ever happened before wrong. If something hasn't happened to you or you havn't witness it doesn't mean is not real. Science is real! But scientists can't prove somethings beyond what they've not experienced i.e spirituality.

Have you ever witness where this ocultic people display their power e.g matchet themselves, shooting guns and it won't enter or where some villages doing their festival then you will know charms are real.

@op, pls try travel to any deep village and just find out about some things yourself.

May God in His infinite mercy continue to abide with us but is just unfortunate that majority of Christians today redicule the Holy Spirit.

God with US!

@op if you're reading Bible always ask for the dicernment of the Holy Spirit and try to quote verse(s) the way it is written.

"The Love of money is the root of all evil.."

Then define love in your own way.

I don't think people hate them as much. Somebody like me hate FIFA action on them thinking they are the best side in the world. Look at the massive performance of this German club side last year yet none of their player's name was found in FIFA's pro 11. They just show it to FIFA that football doesn't start in La Liga and end in La Liga.

My reason anyway.

If this is true then it will be another wasted effort...anyways, I believe that creation and evolution goes together. Creation explains how it all began while evolution explains how it developed over the ages.

Christianity Etc › Literal Genesis Trial Proposed To Put Evolution Vs. Creationism Before A Judge by Emusan(op): 8:51am On Apr 24, 2013
One creationist plans to put his money where his Bible is for a " Literal Genesis Trial ," a$20,000 contest of his creation. The winner must prove or discredit a literal interpretation of the biblical book of Genesis, the Guardian reports.
Dr. Joseph Mastropaolo, who holds a PhD in kinesiology and who taught biomechanics and physiology at California State University, Long Beach, for 26 years , is one of a few scientists who endorses creationism; but he'spart of the 46 percent of Americans who, according to a 2012 Gallup poll, believe that humanity was created as Genesis describes.

Mastropaolo intends to argue for the creationists, and proposes that each side put $10,000 on the line, winner take all. But it's possible that Mastropaolo won't find a counterpart. In a Huffington Post blog published Wednesday, Dr. Michael Zimmerman, founder of the Clergy Letter Project and an evolutionary biologist by training, mocked the trial, saying Mastropaolo actively hunts publicity and peddles "anti-intellectual demagoguery."
An earlier version of Mastropaolo’s concept had intrigued Zimmerman. As Yahoo! News reported, Mastropaolo was behind a similar previous effort , the "Life Science Prize," whichalso challenged evolutionists to a minitrial. Zimmerman said that his attempts to engage Mastropaolo resulted in the latter suggesting he was "psychotic."

According to the Christian Post , an advertisement featured on the Creation Science Hall of Fame's website , an organization that publishes Mastropaolo's articles and plans to help with the project, called on evolution supporters, saying, "This is your chance to shine. Are you willing to participate in a contest to prove your point that the Bible is wrong and that we evolved?"

The Literal Genesis Trial would legally bind the participating parties with regard to the prize, but would have no effect on the discussion inthe five states where creationism bills have been passed.
Oklahoma's Common Education Committee passed a bill in late February that would"permit teachers, schools and students to explore alternative theories [to evolution] without repercussions."
The National Center for Science Education notes that Montana, Arizona, Missouri and Indiana are considering similar legislation . Earlier, Colorado indefinitely suspended an"academic freedom bill" in committee, a movethat effectively killed it.

ooman: Your ignorance is not an excuse for the existence of god. everything that happens in nature has a natural explanation. god becomes useless.
You don't know about boolean's algebra and you claim you're a scientist.

I can see your pains not yet converting any christian on this site to an atheist.

Everything that happens in nature has nature explaination but no valid concluding answers.

At the point of "singularity" cosmologist said the universe for no reason begins to expand itself which violate the very first law of Newton's "Every object remain in its stationary position unless external force act on it".

So the external force that acted on it came from where?

I know there are many truth post/comment you've ignored on this post or anytime an issue like this came up but just allow your personal ego to remain.

Why earthquake, diseases e.tc? If God decided to wipe out everything He has created who dare to question Him and all happen for a purpose. Remember all these have been prophesied even the one that yet to be discover. Ask youself how can I escape all these, then you need to move closer to God through Jesus. I know you're once a Christian but His grace and Mercy is still sufficient for you now act fast when there will be no more Grace & Mercy.
God still loves you.

Kay 17: Did you note his point about time? If time begins with big bang, then there can't be a time reference of before Big Bang. Hence the most appropriate time for God to create the universe is at the immediate instant of Big Bang. Which would imply no cause for Big Bang.

As to the Faith claims for Science. I think Faith means blindness
You've answered yourself correctly.

you believe in one messiah and disbelieve the others,
me i disbelieve all. somehow we are all non believers.
Yes in one way or the other we are all unbelievers mind you Christianity is not a religion is a life eternal (life after death) and the right way to be with God. What other religions claim in their life after death?

You might have wondered about things that's going on in Christendom today, yes it will surely happen because people are not seeking for salvation anymore but the earthly things. I can assure you that only 2-3% that are true christian why others seek for vain things.

Kay 17: Science definitely undermines the belief in God. That's a truth. Because it is laughable to believe lightning strikes have a sentient purpose, that lightning is considered with what's good and bad. It is extremely difficult to be a Christian and be aware of advanced scientific achievements and philosophical postions.

People who understand black holes, the power of stars and outer space distances can't be caught finding pots and broomsticks inside trees. Or expecting a short man add up a few inches in a few minutes.

Most comments here are pathetic, it can be summed up that to be a Christian, one must be a dunce
Listen to what Stephen Hawking said I do believe you know him
Stephen Hawking: Existence [prior to the Big b.ang] can be ignored because it would have no observational consequences. One may say that time had a beginning at the big b.ang, in the sense that earlier times simply would not be defined...One could still imagine that God created the universe at the instant of the big b.ang, or even afterwards in just such a way as to make it look as though there had been a big b.ang, but it would be meaningless to suppose that it was created before the big b.ang. An expanding universe does not preclude a creator..."
So what does it mean if the modern origin myth, unlike almost every other in the past, is not based upon the action of a Divine being? Has modern man lost all ability and desire to have faith? Must he believe things based solely upon reason, that is, what can be proved with rational thought and scientific proof? At first, it may appear so. Many people like to imagine that science and reason are incompatible with faith. In fact, many people simply like to imagine that modern man has deteriorated in his capability for irrationality and imagination. However, these modern theories, like the big b.ang/cosmos theory, are incredible works of imagination! Surely, they find their value in their correspondence to experential fact, by what science can prove, by what it can predict, but it came from one man's mind! These theories do not explain everything! In fact, some of them open up more mysteries than they solve.
It is upon faith which theories like the big b.ang rest. We have faith in the matthemtical systems which derived it; we have faith in the observations which confirmed it; we have faith in the laws of science which supported it. In the end, we have faith in ourselves, in our own capabilites of reasoning and imagining. We have faith in the human being. The big b.ang theory, while it differs in the fact that it is a stated theory (that is, open to debate and change) rather than a myth (like ancient lores, which were accepted as truth), is very similar to ancient cosmologies of the origin of the universe. Indeed, they all appear fantastical when we reflect upon them.
i know truth do hurt. God really exist!
Christianity Etc › Re: Reasons A Former Pastor Became An Atheist by Emusan(m): 3:57pm On Apr 18, 2013
Rexyl: The truth of all matter is that man exists in body, soul/mind and spirit. What makes us different from animals is even beyond our reasoning ability which many people are trained to believe. If the spiritual aspect has not been there we could not have reasoned and design beyond what our mind had been programmed to achieve going by the way of nature. In science a system works and delivers within the scope of its use, what is programmed to do. A radio set can not deliver the work of a refrigerator. Learning from what happened to the first man, he was originally living within the frame of his mind until the time the Spiritual aspects came in that he began to imagine a bigger picture about himself and beyond. Also, consider the animals they have not performed beyond the makes of their souls - their instincts even with all complex phases of evolution that might have incurred . You have not seen a group of one of the closest relatives of man: gorila, monkey or chipanzy as science makes man to believe, living their habitats in the wild and thinking of building luxuries to comfort their lives. Evolution is just a concept of physical phenomenon over the time, it is the spirit that makes man to diligently and intellectually fulfils purpose of creation. Man has been from time prone to forces of evil and good, and done some unreasonable things that science can not handle except there is a spiritual rebirth.
The truth that atheist has ever ignored!

You call it imagination! How would He/She explain when you people fail to believe in all sort of miracles that happaned here nad there.

MT 15:18 But those things which proceedout of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
MT 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evilthoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.
ROM=Heart component of a computer.

To understand Bible is not by carnal mind but by spiritual mind which some scientist failed to implore in their research.
Christianity Etc › Re: Science Confirms The Bible by Emusan(m): 11:47am On Apr 17, 2013
@ OLAADEGBU, well done. I believe atheists know the truth but decided streched it just because devil has blindfolded their mind.
II Cor 4:4 says "In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them". Even Bible prayed for them so that they can see the light.
I would like to quote Stephen Hawking here in one of his book.

Stephen Hawking: "Existence [prior to the Big b.ang] can be ignored because it would have no observational consequences. One may say that time had a beginning at the big b.ang, in the sense that earlier times simply would not be defined...One could still imagine that God created the universe at the instant of the big b.ang, or even afterwards in just such a way as to make it look as though there had been a big b.ang, but it would be meaningless to suppose that it was created before the big b.ang.

ooman: well, if those cells where arranged by someone, why then do they disarrange and cause madness and other diseases.
You didn't get me right, I said one can't base everything about spiritual on Bible you need to do some personal work. Just like someone that wanted to cast out demon and he was poiting the Bible without quoting any verse.

Is it only brain that can damage in humans body?

What I'm saying is this just like Intel processor, it contains more than millions of transistor just in a single 1mm square chip and is being arranged by human likewise somebody must be responsible for our brain too that contains billions of cells for you/scientist to reason well. Give God the glory for that.

so you're just going to church without having personal encounter with God. Anyway I can blame you because that's what most christians do this day.

Do you think is easy to be your brother's keeper without the help of God? Some armed robbers didn't claim there is no God yet they commit crime likewise some terrorist. I heard a testimony in which armed robbers were saying human being are wicked ohh of which they send them to harm that person. So my brother is not easy to do without God.

ooman: I thought I had personal encounter with god too, but your visions are delusions. they are not real.
You don't, and if truly you have had encounter with Him definitely all atheist claims is wrong.

the stories you share are not complete, they are your failed attempt of explaining natural disasters. because it hurts you then you think its the spirit of your mothers sister chasing you. such is the dumb reasoning of the religious.
I would have to observe such situations myself before I can offer explanations.
You call it natural distasters! Anyway, all miracles will always look somehow to atheist. Before it happen everybody know something is wrong and it was reveal by the spirit of God the excert causes of the problem (which is the Rock/Tree) what kind of natural distaster that didn't affect buildings that sorunded the Tree & the road that beside it. I wish you were there you will give God praise.

am glad you know the bible is basically useless but its more damage to rely on mental conditions called revelations.
When did I say so?

you need to be healed from all mental damage god has caused you.
If I may ask you do all scientist claim that there is no God and why all atheist always hide under the work of science to justified their personal hatered to God?

I want to ask you again. Human brain consists more than millions cell, who arranged those cell? Because if anything happen to a cell(s) it can cause brain malfuntion.

ooman: ^^^^you are in a state of great personality disorder.

You really think the spirit world exist based on what exactly? the bible?

You know what i believe is true? That it is Sango who causes thunder always because the book of Sango worshipers say so and no matter what i now know to cause thunder, that is just a lie, it is Sango that causes thunder always.

How does that logic sound to you?
Mr. Ooman thank God you know something sango and thunder, and you know what causes it.
Concerning the story I share with you other time, what force responsible for those stories? According to your research on thunder because the stories is not an ancient myths.

One cannot basically rely on what the Bible says to conclude the work of spiritual realm unless you carry out some personal work. I personally have encounter with God.

@kambo, more grace to your reasoning. You really gave my signature meaning.

pseudonomer: What about "Do you saw her?" Is it correct?
Absolutely wrong! You need to replace 'saw' with simple form of verb 'see'.

Emmyk: Hey bro. This is slightly different...What's the rule for verb usage in past tense questions?. Watch my two examples.
1. Did you SEE her?.
2. You SAW her?.
In your examples number one is the most corrected one because it contains both auxilary verb 'Did' and the main verb 'see', and also fall in the group of simple past tense 'question tag' whereas the other one is like a final statement or confirmation statement not a question tag. (That is you are very sure the action was carried out).

So the rule is this:
(question word)+did+subject+simple form of verb.

Question word may be included or not included.
E.g when did you see her last?

If the action have been performed use 'Did' then if the action is yet to be perform use 'Do'.

ooman: To begin with, i must tell you that your ignorance is not an excuse for the existence of God.

I quite agree that there are many phenomenons in Africa that dont have scientific explanation YET, due to shortage of evolutionary scientists in Africa. Geysers that occurs in northern hemisphere also have many spiritual explanations given by the natives, until scientists told us what causes those phenomenons.

I am certain that once God is off our community and evolutionary scientists become many, we will start to understand our land much more.

I am also certain that your explanation of spirits is just as a result of ancient myths.

Ask yourself, do you sound reasonable with such explanations? No, you dont
Allow my ignorance to be controlling me I like it that way.

Shortage of scientists in africa is the one pushing white man to africa and begin to buy africa culture (statute) millions of Naira. Beside you haven't told me what white man used all those statute for.

My stories are based on ancient myths. So you want to tell me you have never heard of thunder strike remember I said it happened in my present not story story. Ofcourse I know if scientist were there at that time they will find something to say just the way they doubt miracles today.

Science of a thing you read it either on books or internet sir, and atheist do believe that most christians were born with Bible. I'm a computer wizard and also a building engineer I have read many books about science because I so much love science but no man I repeat no ma can ever tell me there is no God. So my brother you're not the only one that is scientifically oriented.

ooman: ^^^It irritated me so much that i couldnt comment at first
especially this:
Is this all what you can say?

What can you say to these?
I'm a native of Oke-agbe Akoko in Ondo state of Nigeria, you can ask any atheist in Nigeria to find out these story for you especially residing in south west.

There was a road that link my village to another village called OYIN. When they are about to construct this road a rock fall along the route where the road suppose to passed. The white man that constructing the road said "if the rock is being blasted the whole of this village would be wipe out with water because the evil spirit inside it is a spirit of water. In this village we don't have big river, or close to sea or ocean even about 3km diameter no river near us. Up till now that particular point is full of pot holes, if you like bring the whole asphat in this world and place it there in the next two-three weeks it will spoil again.

Another one, in 1995 something great happened also in my village along that road I was talking about just like 1-2km away from that very point there was a rock beside the road, (not along the route but a little bit close to the road) at that very point accident usually occur almost every week. Traditional rulers, christians, muslims are complaining and it was revealed that there was an evil spirit inside the rock but who will confront it, Nobody? Churches, muslims they begin to pray, the tradition people they do their own too. 1995 was the year that God save us from that evil spirit, what happened? Around 4:00pm it seems rain wants to fall, breaze up & down and the rain begins to wet the ground not up to ten minutes a powerful thunder struck and behold it hit the rock and pieces it. I couldn't go there but the people that went there says there was splashing of bloods on those broken stones. But there was a place you can stand and you will see the path that the thunder created anything along that path was removed being trees or stones it looks as if bulldozer worked there. That is how accident cease from that road.

Another one happened also at the main market there was a big three in that market though it's not the only tree there. It was revealed to some churches that this particular tree is bewitched it was thunder that uprooted this same tree. Surprisingly, under the tree we (I saw it with my naked eyes) saw pot, stove, spoons, bloods e.t.c because the tree has hole inside and the hole did not link to outside.

I was told about stories of thunder in that village too.

All these happened in the day time not overnight so don't think maybe it is people's handiwork and nobody knows that rain with thunder will occur that day.

I want your say because you said nothing like evil spirit & God.
