I'm not here to debate with type of maggot like u.
you're a cretin, did I say I want to argue with you before? or you're madman too. Did I quote you at anytime that might have given you an inkling that I want to argue with you?

This is an eyewitness account. Argue with the Kardashians.
don't you get it? that a mad man is calm doesn't mean he's healed. He needs a psychiatric examination by a doctor and monitoring for a while before he can be declared healed. There are cases of "healed" mad men going back to their madness. Madness is not always aggressive. Some can even have normal conversation sometimes.

Watch the video now, are you that deprived of data and yet can't keep your mouth?

The person taking the shot said he himself doesn't believe before. They all know the mad man
You are a clod. Did you just want to twaddle? The guy that said that is a doctor or what? Or you performed psychiatric test on the man to know that he is healed? That he is calm to take a bath doesn't mean he is healed, he can still enter market tomorrow.

Christianity EtcRe: CHRISTIANITY EXPOSED: If Adam & Eve Were Created, Explain This by Funaki: 1:16pm On Jun 03, 2019
Ihedinobi3:
This is still, to use your word, "surmising" on your part.

The ultimate origin of human beings, according to the Bible, is a single human couple. Can this be proved? Probably not. Why do Christians believe it? Because God said so.

I get that you don't care what God says, but that is entirely your choice. And I am neither responsible nor interested in it. It is of course possible to claim that there were multiple original human progenitors, or that human beings evolved from this or that species etc, or that different "races" of human beings evolved from different branches in the evolutionary tree. But you would be in quite a bind if you tried to prove that any of these "guesses" is what actually happened. It is impossible to prove human origins. All we can do is choose what to believe.

Some things make sense to believe, and others don't. For Christians, it makes sense to us to believe that there was an original human couple from whom all humankind derives, because God said so. Our logic is simply that God must know, since He created everything including that couple Himself. If God cannot be believed, who can be?
I'm not surmising, nobody uses that word for genealogical DNA testing. You just called the combined works of international government bodies a "guess work". grin grin

Ihedinobi3:
I would imagine that there isn't a single human being alive today who does not have two biological progenitors. So, of course, all living human beings today have more than one ancestor.

What I am wondering about is how you can go from that to the conclusion that there is "no singular source of human beings"? How is this not surmising on your part even if we were to accept that mine is any kind of surmising?
There is no singular source of human beings. We only have most recent common ancestors in the male and the female line. That doesn't mean only one singular couple are the source of all humans alive. The common male and female aren't fixed humans, they change after their line have been truncated. And the two didn't live at the same time.

Imagine if my paternal cousins and my siblings and I are the only population on earth. We share common ancestors (my paternal grand parents) but they are not the singular source for us. I have a mother, and my cousins too have parents from other grandparents that we don't have in common.

Ihedinobi3:
I am not sure it is possible to explain to anyone who says the above how a human being who is the source of other human beings would possess the genetic information that defines its offspring's physical qualities.
you are only surmising, you're very good at that. Most humans genome contain tiny snippets of DNA from many ancestors. There's no singular source of human beings.

Ihedinobi3:
I think you didn't pay good attention to what you read. I did not say at any point that the umbilical cord is not a genetic structure. I said that it is not merely a cosmetic feature. Every human fetus, regardless what their other features may be, possesses an umbilical cord, or else it would not be viable. Of course, if the genes do not have the information, there would be no umbilical cord. But the umbilical cord is a critical function. It is useless unless a fetus is needing it to receive nourishment from an incubating parent.

Therefore, Adam's and Eve's lack of an umbilical cord would have absolutely no impact on their offspring, genetically speaking. The genes that they passed down to their children could still possess information for an umbilical cord even if they themselves lacked one, simply because without it it would be impossible to incubate human fetuses. All that was necessary was for Adam and Eve to possess the perfect blueprint of all human genetic information, in order for their offspring to possess features contained in any part of the genetic sequence that they inherit. Not for them to have all human features.
did the holy spirit tell you Adam had umbilical cord genes, or you just inferred? What else did he have? milk teeth genes and nipple genes? grin grin grin. It doesn't really make sense to be arguing about Jewish mythology. Adam could have navel or not, it is what you want to have that he will have. Someone once said his own Adam was black another argued his own was brown. It depends on what you think not a set of fact.

Ihedinobi3:
Well then. Why does simple biology not also teach you and the poster that if Adam and Eve were never in a womb, they never needed an umbilical cord, and that an umbilical cord is a far more critical feature than, say, skin color, so that it is not just some cosmetic feature passed down by the genes, but a critical structure for the production of human children?
who is this one? umbilical cord is not a genetic structure? clap for yourself.

The umbilical cord is physiologically and genetically part of the fetus

Christianity EtcRe: Share Something Nasty You Have Heard From Religious People Recently by Funaki: 11:30am On May 28, 2019
OtemAtum:
Mine goes like this(it happened to me today)
As usual, I was on my tour to know more about people's opinions on religions, God, human origin, etc. A fat woman's money dropped at the Bus Stop. She was too far to bend down immediately and the bus she came down from was ready to move. She was pointing to it. I was close to it. I picked it up immediately and gave it to her. People around me began to say all manner of things. "Why did you help her pick it?" "She should have picked it by herself. It's ritual she wants to use you for. Go and fast and pray as soon as you get home."

When I kept smiling without replying them, someone began to plead the blood of Jesus on my behalf.

"I cover you with the blood of Jesus!"

The scene wasn't funny o. See what religion and superstitions has done to the brains of my fellow Africans. undecided

Now let's assume that I am a Christian and something bad now happens to me a week after, I will link that bad incidence to this event and then start running up and down for prayers. In the end, many pastors will scam me and use my money + monies of thousands of victims like me to buy private jet. Religion is bad!

If your argument is correct, then it is evolution if we are taller or shorter than our parents, look different in any respect from them, or in fact are different at all in any respect from them. That would be incredibly absurd because it would mean that offspring ought only to be clones of their parents, wouldn't it?
That's simple biology, it can easily be explained. It is dominant and recessive genes undecided undecided undecided

Now I get it! I finally got it!

D & .D has once again proven their genius, these men deserve every accolade they have ever gotten. Imagine the brilliance! The wisdom and level of wits these men possess.

No one could have ever seen this coming, I repeat no one. I had to laugh and throw my fist in the air when I figured it out. The backlash, the petitions... It was all for nothing. I can't believe the fans never saw it; being a community that prides itself with paying attention to details and all.

What am I blabbing about? The last episode of course!

When all that craziness happened, I thought to myself (this can't be! Our queen can't do such!) I'm not here to defend her actions but to point out an obvious misunderstanding.

It wasn't Dany, it wasn't her. Remember how we don't see her again after the bell tolled and she took off with drogon and torched the city. Well apparently, the moment drogon ascended into the sky, our beloved queen lost her balance and fell off the dragon's back.

All that torching was the sole handwork of drogon, Dany had no hand in it. There is even the possibility that she might have hit her head during the fall and therefore died off screen but that's a theory.

Now everyone has labeled her a mad queen, calling her out for committing mass murder and so forth. I on the hand would like to take this opportunity to clear the air concerning these allegations and defend our queen. It is true the city burned due to her arrival, but it wasn't her intention, her intentions were good; it was that beast! The winged shadow... Acting out of fury for loosing both his brothers in this strange land, totally neglecting the feelings of it's mother and acting out of sentiment and pure rage.

And in case you want to see prove. Here it is.

in the context of this narrative, it is a relatively safe bet to assume that cersei would do that if she could because i believe you'd agree with me that the people didn't booby trap their residences with wildfire but probably there's a better explanation
Aerys planted wildfire during Robert's rebellion at random places in the city. The wildfire I saw was insignificant compared to the dragon fire. The major defense of Cercie was the scorpion and the golden company. That's why she had to leave after they were destroyed.
