What is the point of this test?

Freksy:
In fact, a man should be able to also apply lipstick, paint nails, color eyelids, wear eyelashes and bra etc. I think man will look good on the afore-listed too.

Hmmmm, evolution of man to woman!

Good. Very good.

Do your best and leave the rest for God. He will intervene if he can.

Maybe the OP is one of the computers he's referring to, given the quality of his posts.

A man should be able to adorn himself a little na. I think they look good on most guys I see them on.

This is what you call science?

OLAADEGBU:
So you believe there is a co pilot?

Yes. It's more plausible than the pilot skydiving at 10 km without an oxygen supply while travelling at a constant height beside and at the same speed as a plane travelling at >500km/h from which he just jumped.

I'd suggest "Letters From The Earth" by Mark Twain. It's about the creation of the earth by God, written from the perspective of Lucifer who decided to spend one of his periods of banishment from heaven on earth out of curiosity. It's full of humour and its maybe a little irreverent.

The Hitchhiker trilogy (The Hitchhikers' Guide To The Galaxy, Parts 1 - 5) by Douglas Adam is another good one too, especially part 1, followed by 2 and 3. It's hard to describe what it's exactly about but it's mostly about the adventures of two humans, two aliens and a robot across space and time. It's seriously funny, dabbles into philosophy a lot and toys with your belief in God. Here is an excerpt:

"The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves that You exist, and so therefore, by Your own arguments, You don't. QED"
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
"Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing."

You can also try "The Miracle Of Theism" by J. L. Mackie. It's sort of like The God Delusion but it's much earlier and written in a more balanced tone. It's also somewhat tedious and long, as the author tried to be exhaustive in examining the arguments for and against theism. There is even some maths involved, in weighing some arguments and in making others. Lol. It's a satisfying read.

My full weight (54kg) is behind the earlier mentioned Jim Holt's Why Does The World Exist too. You can't go wrong with that one. You can't go right either, as the book leaves its title question unanswered. The ride is worth it, however. As the author put it, it's an existential detective story, so it's very investigative but the case remains open.

"Anansi Boys" by Neil Gaiman is nice and puts a British twist on the Ghanaian trickster God, Anansi the spider. There is a massive plot twist too.

Then there is the FSM Gospel. Read at your own peril.

[size=18pt]Would u rather they dont wake u up ?[/size]

Of course not. So we're on the same page then? I should tell you about how I think religion might be weighing you down?

osile2012:
[size=18pt]Still boils down to time Sometimes a friend of yours might oversleep and might be getting late for a function. You have to wake them up right? Because if they show up late there are consequences . Imagine if u missed an exam because you over slept and your roommate who was going for the same exam did not wake you up and left. You ended up failing and had an extra year. How would you feel ? [/size]

So if I feel that a belief in God might have a negative effect on your decision making the proper thing would be to tell you about it?

Why don't you just believe in God in the privacy of your heart? Must you tell people about it? If you're so sure of your belief in God why do you keep discussing it?

If you're not catholic you're one of the derailers.

Thanking God is redundant.

OLAADEGBU:
Good question to ask either God or satan depending on where you land.

The Co pilot will land the plane?

It's the sort of odd headgear people wear in the name of religion. Just look at this other one wearing a sieve. Smh.

This your title eh

Lol. How did the pilot jump from a plane that was not in a dive and still end up beside the plane? And he hasn't even deployed the parachute! Is he an angel?

If you can't understand the word without first being possessed by the spirit, are you actually the one doing the understanding or is it the spirit?

sonOfLucifer:
Its better to receive head.

Hence the demand. Lol.

The OP dug herself into this one sha. I endorse your truce.

McSterling:
Obviously, a dick wrote the epistle. I mean, who else can give a better answer to the subject of this thread than a dick? No one, right?

Lol. The same thought crossed my mind. If mine wrote this sort of thing tho I'd demand for its head.

sonOfLucifer:
John needs a helping hand.

. And all these nice Christians won't lend theirs.

nseke:
Science is ever evolving, given that many things we once used as approved by science have been outlawed,eg nolvagen a brand of pain killer is long stopped from circulation- i therefore, ask should science in five,ten etc years accepts the existence of heaven or hell,what would you do? For its uterly unthinkable that the so called learned(not lawyers only) are depending on an ever evolving,never creating but finding already created things, which science does for eternity,phony

Science cannot prove anything. In order for scientific acceptance to happen though, heaven and hell will have to become the subject of scientific investigation and experimentation. We will be able to measure heaven and run tests on it. Unless your heaven is physical I don't see this happening. Still, if it happens, kudos to mankind. Won't be long before we figure out what to do with His Majesty.

How exactly is it a problem that scientific knowledge is subject to revision?

Whose John Thomas is this a blessing for?

Ideally, religion would be taught under social studies.

I no go lie you. Dem worwor

Oh. More power to them.

It is not an either/or situation. You can have both evolution and a belief that God created life as the two are compatible. There are aspects of life that are better explained by evolution, such as heredity or the development of drug resistance in bacteria, among many others. If you ever bother you try to explain why these things obtain, you'd realise that God is not directly involved in the process. You could say that he has set the process in motion and is now watching it play out. Maybe you don't agree with the specifics of the theory of evolution but it is undeniable that there is some intermediate process at work between God and his creation. To deny this leads to the implication that God (if any) is still creating life anytime you see a creature that has recently experienced some form of genetic variation.

The choir in this church beside my house couldn't sing a right note to save her life

Lol. If you go check now you go see fine girls for the choir. It hurts me to see fine people croaking like that.

macof:
but why eat bread and fantsize about it being flesh

i remember one acclaimed miracle in a catholic church that the bread turned to real flesh and the wine to real blood...they didnt eat and drink them tho

Lol. I went to church last Sunday for a new yam festival thanks giving mass and the priest began to compare Jesus to yam. According to him Jesus is like yam because we also eat Jesus. There was a noticeable loss of enthusiasm in the congregation at that. I think the imagery was not symbolic enough for them, just like the real flesh and blood you referred to. Too realistic for comfort.

Unbridled misogyny. You must hate gum chewing too. Lol. What if the gum is sugar free?

Strangely the foetuses know what delivery is without knowing that it does not entail dying. Isn't that very convenient for you, OP?

[quote author=KingEbukasBlog post=38612996][/quote]I've heard of it but I haven't seen it. Dunno what it's about. What is the supposed mission of the aliens/set of aliens?

byteHead:
.

I think Tyson is a bit wrong here in assuming that intelligent life forms are only interested in other intelligent life forms. I'm interested in many animals, especially house cats, and I believe I'm smarter than they are. I would be very interested in any extraterrestrial life, whether it is intelligent or not. Even NASA is looking for evidence of any life on Mars, not just intelligent life. I don't see why Tyson's aliens should be any different.
