Phones / Re: ***** Infinix Discussion Thread ***** by FunFact: 9:21am On Sep 12, 2021
I just bought hot 7 it seems good but when I play high end games it starts hanging, and the graphics are very poor. I was recently using hot 5 and it plays everything properly without lag even though both are 2gb ram. I don't really understand why, I was thinking of switching to a hot 6 pro or does it have similar issues? Pls which of the cost free infinix is better for high end gaming

Thanks man. I work online so I'm not bothered about jobs.
Osogbo and jos were my 2 top opinions last year but I made the mistake of choosing jos. Jos has unstable security due to unpredictable crisis.
I don't understand yoruba. Will language be a problem in osogbo?
Language wouldn't be much of a problem. Most people speak and understand English or Pidgen at least.

Osun Osogbo perfectly fits the description. Electricity is almost 24hrs/day, the population is very low, cost of living is very low, crime rate is very low and the people are very welcoming, also not as loud or social as people from other states.. You can get a nice one bed room apartment in the Government residential areas for as low as 120- 150k. GRA has the most developed areas with good roads and best security. In other parts you can get the One bed room for as low as 60-80k. The only problem in the state is the lack of jobs. Assuming you're only searching for residential purposes, Oshogbo is perfect. You can do more research on the city your self.

Pelecius:


Humans did not evolve from any species of apes that currently exist.We did not evolve from chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, orangutans, or gibbons. Instead, we evolved from a “common ancestor”
with chimpanzees and bonobos.

You are right that he misrepresented the evolutionary story of one ape (say gorilla, turning to human) but the question can be modified that why is it that we don’t see evolution (increasing complexity) happening.

Evolution does not work the way you reason it does. One species can diverge into several different species and, over time, these species can grow further and further apart.

This is not really an argument for evolution but for creation fall model. It was predicted that organisms should diversify from their BARAMIN (created kind) as the scripture said: “…reproduce according to their kinds”. This is possible by sorting and loss of information in the organism’s genome. Hence, we should expect from complex to less complex. But evolution on the other hand tells us that organisms increased in complexity – from simple to complex

Since dogs all came from one specie of wolfs why don’t all the other dogs change to German Shepherd, or rot willers”
The bolded claim begs the question. What is the prove that dogs came from wolf? Then your question is a false analogy. Since German Shepherd is a dog, we can’t say that all DOGS should turn to German Shepherd (which is a DOG in the first place)

There is no reason why non-human apes should have evolved into humans. They have adapted to their environments in their own ways, which just happen to be different from the ways in which humans have adapted to our environments over the course of our evolutionary history. There is no more a reason why a gorilla should have evolved into a human than there is a reason why a human should have evolved into a gorilla.
Begging the question yet. This assumes that humans share a common ancestor with some of those apes and can not be proven. The questions you asked later were good but MUST NOT ONLY be interpreted as shared ancestry. The problem is that the alternative is dismissed

To throw you off your balance can you explain to me how Neanderthals who share the same amount of chromosome with us modern humans, breed with us? Although there species have been wiped out, a small percent of their DNA can be found in most Caucasians.
That is the problem again. Many studies show that they are fully human. In fact, the creation model explains that they are likely those group of people who emigrated from Babel but may not have been able to go with the technology (since not everyone would be technologically inclined. Some groups may be tasked with getting raw materials like straw). It is only an evolutionary bias that is portraying them as not humans and by the way, the narrative has been changing. A book: The Neanderthals Discovered documents them.
So it is the evolutionary propaganda that believed that they were not humans but studies is turning that believe upside down

Can you also explain why humans and chimps have almost the same number of chromosomes?
Can you explain why upon gorillas and chimps are more aesthetically similar, chimps are more genetically related to humans than they are to gorillas?
Can you explain why diseases found in our DNA existing a long time ago can also be found in that of chimps?
Can you explain why chimps share 98% of our DNA?

All these questions have a simple answer from a Biblical believer point of view. God is the creator who creates however he wish. Using analogy of a Designer, he can produced different stuff with almost the same materials. The difference between the stuff could be accounted for with the amount of materials used and the amount of ‘foreign’ materials used.
A common designer for a military chopper and fighter jet could use same materials for the production of these two products. In fact, he could produce variants of chopper and variants of fighter jet so that one fighter jet is enhanced than another, though, they were produced with same materials and run on almost the same software.

but the question can be modified that why is it that we don’t see evolution (increasing complexity) happening.
It appears you have not studied much about evolution either. Evolution takes place over a VERY long time thousands if not millions for larger beings like us. Except you could exceptionally live for a million years else you wouldn't really observe evolution happen with us.
But then again it does happen everyday. People of the Turkanna people of east africa have totally adapted to a diet that has milk in it (they digest lactose well). Other nearby tribes are lactose intolerant and they can't live on the same diet as the Turkanna. I think that the estimates are that for a human population to adapt to a diet containing lactose, you need about 3000 years for this genetic ability to dominate a population. In the Turkanna, their life is spent so close to the edge of survival, that anyone that was lactose intolerant would simply die. The evolution of a gene like "adult ability to digest lactose" should be able to happen in a very short period of time if the choice is "digest lactose" or die from lack of calories.

Evolution also quickly happens in things that live the shortest lives and reproduce hyper fast. Bacteria have adapted (evolved) to cope with our anti-biotics so quickly, that you probably don't want to go to a hospital unless you would die if you stayed at home. It was amazing how effective some "very gross and poorly produced penacillin" was at killing infections when first introduced. Today many organism's just shrug off penacillin's effects like it wasn't there.

There are lots of cases of seeing evolution right before our eyes

You're not entirely correct about this. I'll edit and explain why later.

The bolded claim begs the question. What is the prove that dogs came from wolf? Then your question is a false analogy. Since German Shepherd is a dog, we can’t say that all DOGS should turn to German Shepherd (which is a DOG in the first place)
There are tons of proof about this. Dogs are a diverged specie of wolves who followed humans, you can look it up. This wasn't a question it was more of a comparison, read my op where I made the statement and you would understand why I used it. Dogs make up different species just as apes make up different species, humans are apes by definition (tailless primate).

That is the problem again. Many studies show that they are fully human. In fact, the creation model explains that they are likely those group of people who emigrated from Babel but may not have been able to go with the technology (since not everyone would be technologically inclined. Some groups may be tasked with getting raw materials like straw). It is only an evolutionary bias that is portraying them as not humans and by the way, the narrative has been changing. A book: The Neanderthals Discovered documents them.
Why are you stating completely incorrect facts? Why are you creating this false ideologies to defend your religion.

The Neanderthals were human but a different species. Your creation model story is nonsense. It states that only one man and woman were created (I have always wondered seeing as Adam and Eve had 2 sons, where did the rest of humanity come from?)
Also, It is physically, biologically, and genetically impossible for just 2 individuals belonging to a complex, multicellular, sexually reproducing animal species to give rise to, and maintain a genetically healthy population consisting of billions of descendants without eventually going extinct caused by detrimental inbreeding.

Neanderthals also have DNA distinct from modem humans, so we are not the same tribe.
People of European descent have around 2% Neanderthal DNA indicating that they interbred with them at some point.

Hundreds of Neanderthal skeletons have now been recovered since the first discovery in Belgium in 1829. They range from Spain to Belgium, Germany and across to south-west Asia and all existed before about 50,000 years ago.
50,000 years is a long time. Any story's about them would have been forgotten way before the bible was written. The writers of the bible had zero knowledge about their existence.
Neanderthal skulls are easily identified from those of modern humans because of the low forehead, protruding brow, non-projecting jaw, large nasal cavity and pronounced occipital bun at the back of the head. Neanderthals were shorter but immensely strong in comparison to modern humans, and had great muscle mass and thick bones.

According to the bible, the tribes who created these stories were from the middle east. If we were descended from ‘Adam and Eve’, everyone would have Middle Eastern DNA - but we don’t.

If you believe the biblical time line, Adam and Eve were created ‘ about 5000–10,000 years ago, depending on how you interpret it.
Aborigines have been in Australia for 65,000 years.
Humans have been on Earth for more than 350,000 years.
Our ancestors for millions of years before that.
The tribes that invented the Adam and Eve myth didn’t even exist until around 900–1100 BCE.

SmartMugu:

No mind these scientists. They said we used to be apes until we suddenly became humans, shouldnt we still see apes that suddenly become humans everyday? What changed and stopped today's apes from metamorphosis to humans? How many gorillas have graduated to humans since we were born?Lies everywhere.
You're either ignorant about how evolution works or you’re just dumb as hell... Humans did not evolve from any species of apes that currently exist.We did not evolve from chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, orangutans, or gibbons. Instead, we evolved from a “common ancestor”
with chimpanzees and bonobos. Going even further back, a“ common ancestor”of gorillas and then further back a “common ancestor” of orangutans. Meaning, at some point in the very distant past, there was a species of ape that no longer exists and, eventually, all extant species of ape, including humans, evolved from that species. The other species of apes that currently exist are not our ancestors; instead, they are more like our cousins.

Evolution does not work the way you reason it does. One species can diverge into several different species and, over time, these species can grow further and further apart.

What you said is just like saying “Since dogs all came from one specie of wolfs why don’t all the other dogs change to German Shepherd, or rot willers”or “ since I came from my grandfather , why do my cousins exist?”.

There is no reason why non-human apes should have evolved into humans. They have adapted to their environments in their own ways, which just happen to be different from the ways in which humans have adapted to our environments over the course of our evolutionary history. There is no more a reason why a gorilla should have evolved into a human than there is a reason why a human should have evolved into a gorilla.
I’m sure the gorilla is better equipped to survive in the jungle than we are. Your statement is like a gorilla saying: “Why havent’t these humans evolved to be strong and brutal like me”.

To throw you off your balance can you explain to me how Neanderthals who share the same amount of chromosome with us modern humans, breed with us? Although there species have been wiped out, a small percent of their DNA can be found in most Caucasians.

Can you also explain why humans and chimps have almost the same number of chromosomes?

Can you explain why upon gorillas and chimps are more aesthetically similar, chimps are more genetically related to humans than they are to gorillas?

Can you explain why diseases found in our DNA existing a long time ago can also be found in that of chimps?

Can you explain why chimps share 98% of our DNA?

Ignore the clowns quoting you. Religion has prevented them from being reasonable.
There is Literally no evidence at all of an old man carrying carrying animals to the middle East from Australia, the Amazon and countless Polynesian Islands then brought them back again. How would that even be possible? How did he preserve and replant all the freshwater plants that flooding by seawater would have killed (or the sea life that freshwater would have killed.
Also,their are evidences that the Egyptian and chinese empire had continued to flourish during the time the Noah's flood is said to had happened. The Australian Aborigines have lived in Australia for 60,000years cut off from the rest of the world, yet they survived. Only fools still believe in that kind of story upon the evidences that prove how false it is.

Mrpsly247:

Yet every civilization that has ever existed has the myth of a great flood .
Partly true bc at the height of the last ice age,there was so much glacier ice stranded on top of continents that sea level was 120 meters lower than today worldwide. When those glaciers melted at the end of the last ice age, between 12,000 and 8,000 years ago, sea level rose and flooded seacoast villages around the world.In a few places, there is a shallow shelf separating a basin from the world ocean. The Bosporus in Turkey is one such place. When sea level was low, the Black Sea was cut off from the world ocean and evaporation dropped sea level far below the lip of the ledge. When the world ocean rose to overtop that lip, the Black Sea basin would have flooded almost instantly…a legendary story that would be passed down for millenia. There may even have been a wise man who watched the Mediterranean Sea encroach upon the spillpoint and realized what was about to happen. I know I would have put it together and seen it coming. Then formed a story about it claiming it was magical. sure.

Then again, Anthropologists point out that Australian aborigines have lived on their continent for around 60,000 years, cut off from the rest of the world, yet they survived. There is ample evidence that Noah’s flood never occurred.
Also, Historians point out that civilisations such as in Egypt and China continued to prosper right through the time attributed to the biblical flood, entirely unaware that they were supposed to be drowning.

Which of the hell are you talking about man??

The Ancient Greek Hades?

The Ancient Egyptian hell?

Judaism Sheol?

Islam Jahannam?

Buddhism Naraka?

Sikhism hells?

Jainism Naraka?

Hinduism hell?

Their are 4000+ religions in the world and most have some sort of realm or afterlife where evil people(based on that religions ethics) go to after death. You as a Christian are a billion times likely to go to hell in someone else's religion, even in yours bc you’re most likely a sinner in one way or the other (you also sinned right now by judging non-believers in your comment). If hell does exist, we’re all going there anyway, might as well just have fun along the way.

Man shut up already. Can you please stop trying to shove your belief on everyone else. Fücking please!! Historically, the only reason your religion teaches against Homosexuality, masturbation or having any other sexual activities not leading to reproduction is because your religions origins in the bronze age so they codify late bronze age morality. In those times the only way a tribe could have triumphed over it’s neighbors is if it’s population grew faster, so men not having sex with women, women not having sex with men, masturbation, birth control anything to hinder population growth were all discriminated against in those tribes. The ideal problem now is with you people who have refused to evolve past this barbaric practice in the 21st century.

Noah's Flood is a Myth as how Then you say the story waa stolen and it predates Christianity, lol grin, was Noah a Christian or a Judaismic Jew, was there anything like Christianity in the world then..... smiley? I can already pick many holes in your theory. Try to research more but with an open mind, not a mind that already has some preset prejudices or bias. But for a start, marine archeologists have already discovered evidence that supports the occurrence of a great flood that happened in the world. But due to the nature of science, they just don't or can't specifically say it was Noah's flood. But the timing matches Noah's era, so whether or not they fully acknowledge it as Noah's flood doesn't matter, the flood happened.
https://www.theguardian.com/science/2000/sep/14/internationalnews.archaeology
Then as for your theory of global flooding, your idea is fundamentally flawed and that is why you missed it and mixed things up. Let me explain to you. Human beings did not originally appear in all the different zones or continents in this world from the beginning of our existence. Even science knows this. Human beings originated from a fixed position or point on Earth, then we migrated to other parts of the world gradually as our population began to expand. At a point in our existence, we had not populated all the regions in this world. And such was the situation in the time of Noah. At this period, humans were not "global" yet. We were yet to span the entire Earth. So when the Bible talks about the world being flooded, it was not the entire geographical world in actual sense. It was the world of humanity. The flood covered the geographical location that the human population had expanded to, and so it was actually some part of the world that experienced the flooding, not the entire world. Then your idea about the rain measurements for rising water levels is also flawed. You see, science tells us that about 2/3 of the planet is made of water. So basically, you don't really need an ocean of rain to cause a catastrophic flood. You just need some steady and consistent heavy rainfall and it will trigger the flooding. Because the flooding isn't going to come from the rain water. NO! The flooding will come from the rising ocean/ sea water levels. The ocean / sea water levels in this planet has a tipping point where if reached, then the world is in serious trouble and capable to be sank underneath. Science tells us this and that's one of the major reasons they keep shouting and raising alarm about global warming. Because the hotter the planet gets, the more the polar ice caps of the world melts and the more they melt, the more the ocean / sea water level rises that if left unchecked can cause a catastrophic global flooding that can destroy the world. Hence, science is pushing us towards green energy to reduce the ozone depletion and other man-made pollution that increases global warming. And speaking of polar ice caps, the planet has a huge concentration of ice at the poles, hence called caps, these ice caps are directly connected to the ocean / sea water levels. If they melt indiscriminately, they can cause rising water levels that can cause catastrophic flooding. And this was what happened in Noah's world, or the world of man during Noah era, or the part of the world that humans had migrated to and had covered. The constant rain wasn't the source of the flooding, the constant rain TRIGGERED the flooding. Do you know that there's a part of the ice glaciers in the world called DOOMSDAY Glaciers? Because if it melts, then you can expect that there's going to be a catastrophic global flooding that will sink many places under the ocean, places like Lagos will be buried under the ocean forever, islands like Indonesia, and many other countries will be gone forever.

You just wrote a long paragraph that didn’t debunk anything I said at all.
First; If you read properly you would see where I said the Israelites stole the story.

Second; Your bible implied all of life forms and Noah's settlement took place in the middle East. Don’t even try to justify with Science, as science notes it all began in Africa. There are no evidence of an old man carrying animals to the middle East from Australia, the Amazon and countless Polynesian Islands then brought them back again. How would that even be possible? use your common sense here. How did he preserve and replant all the freshwater plants that flooding by seawater would have killed (or the sea life that freshwater would have killed…can’t have it both ways.
Also,there are evidences that the Egyptian empire had continued to flourish during the time the Noah's flood is said to had happened. The Middle East and Isreal share the Mediterranean with Egypt, so if the flood did happen I believe Egypt would have been affected.

Third; The “Ark Encounter” in Kentucky is pretty good evidence against it, at least, the boat part, as it had to be built with heavy equipment by hundreds of people, is only standing because of a steel and concrete foundation, and needs major air conditioning just to keep its visitors from overheating/sufficating, something ten million+ animals would need even more…and none of which was available thousands of years ago.


Fourth; On the other hand, geologists overwhelmingly insist there was never a great worldwide flood at any time in human history. They point out that there is not enough water to create a worldwide flood like that portrayed in the Bible or in the earlier Epic of Gilgamesh. Historians point out that civilisations such as in Egypt and China continued to prosper right through the time attributed to the biblical flood, entirely unaware that they were supposed to be drowning. Anthropologists point out that Australian aborigines have lived on their continent for around 60,000 years, cut off from the rest of the world, yet they survived. There is ample evidence that Noah’s flood never occurred.

Fifth; You’re only proving my point. With the amount of water contained on earth, no global flooding could possibly to rise 1000ft above sea level. There are plenty of hills that are 1000ft above sea levels and people at that time would easily migrate to these hills making them 100 times safer than some one on a wooden boat.

Sixth; Partly true, at the height of the last ice age, there was so much glacier ice stranded on top of continents that sea level was 120 meters lower than today worldwide. When those glaciers melted at the end of the last ice age, between 12,000 and 8,000 years ago, sea level rose and flooded seacoast villages around the world. In a few places, there is a shallow shelf separating a basin from the world ocean. The Bosporus in Turkey is one such place. When sea level was low, the Black Sea was cut off from the world ocean and evaporation dropped sea level far below the lip of the ledge. When the world ocean rose to overtop that lip, the Black Sea basin would have flooded almost instantly…a legendary story that would be passed down for millenia. There may even have been a wise man who watched the Mediterranean Sea encroach upon the spillpoint and realized what was about to happen. I know I would have put it together and seen it coming. Then formed a story about it claiming it was magical. Sure.

I could go on and on. For every “supporting fact” for the Great Flood there is a far superior everyday physically plausible explanation.
In summary, science does not disprove magical stories. Science needs only prove that magic is unnecessary to explain the facts. Common sense takes us the rest of the way.

Quite funny... Where in the Bible was it stated that the Earth is flat or that the moon produces it's own light

The Bible talks about God making two great lights;
The Greater Light to rule by day and the lesser light to rule by night
Ref: Genesis 1:16

This does not in anyway imply that the moon produces its light

When you look up at the sky in the night and you see the moon, what do you see? Do you not see a light?

This Bible you say was written by Ancient Herders who knew no better, this same Bible has accurately showed man his past, present and future.

Just a little example, the Bible talks about the flood of Noah, archeologists had found this to be true, and the exact spot where the Bible says the Ark rested, they found it there. And there are so many more proofs!

There are other verses in the bible stating that the moon produces light:

“Isaiah 30:26, NIV: "The moon will shine like the sun, and the sunlight will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven full days, when the LORD binds up the bruises of his people and heals the wounds he inflicted."
Ezekiel 32:7; And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
Mark 13:24, NIV: "But in those days, following that distress, ''the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;”

You’re only proving my point when you said this: “When you look up at the sky in the night and you see the moon, what do you see? Do you not see a light?”
Without any scientific research what so ever any human being in the past would assume the moon produces light simply because it displays light at night. However, if God did create the earth as he claimed this wouldn’t be an assumption. You’re only proving to me that the bible infact was written by herders who didn’t know any better.


Also, I hope you know the myth of Noah's Flood was a plagarized Sumerian tale. Many cultures existing thousands of years before Christainity already had a story of a worldwide flood. The Israelites stole the story from the Mesopotamians; we’ve found their version of the tale that predates the Bible’s account. The Mesopotamians did live in a land that depended on flooding for the fertility of the land; they were highly dependent on this destructive force and it played a large part in their folklore.And the Babylonian version.

The great flood Babylonian version:https://www.livius.org/articles/misc/great-flood/flood3/

https://earth.usc.edu/~stott/Catalina/Mediterranean.html/Mediterranean.html

There’s no scientific evidence for a global flood ever happening.
There is no geological proof & no biological proof whatsoever to support this, instead there are evidence against this ever happening.

1.other ancient civilizations around at the time didn’t notice

2.nowhere for the water to come from or go to after

3. animals somehow traveled from Australia and the Americas to the Middle East

animals somehow traveled back without leaving any record

4.no evidence of human cities being destroyed

5. no evidence of a massive plant or animal die off
6.no evidence of modern sea creatures left on land
7.no massive and universal silt deposit or erosion events in rock strata
8.no evidence of human and animal genetic bottlenecks, especially not any occurring simultaneously across all species
9.insufficient room to house animals on the ark
logistics for feeding animals impossible, especially carnivorous animals

10.With maths;The most rainfall recorded was 12 inches for an hour in Holt, Missouri.
12 (inches of rain per hour) X 24 (hours in a day) X 40 (days) = 11,520 inches divided by 12 gives you 960 feet.
there are plenty of places located above 960 feet above sea level. There was no need for an ark as all the animals and humans who lived in, or could evacuate to, a small hill would have survived this flooding. And that's assuming there was no evaporation, water leveling or water run-off during the whole ordeal.

There was no water added to this planet to create that flood (we have the exact same amount of land mass today that we had before the "flood"wink, and the water used would have to take away from water sources in the ground. So bodies of water would have given up a lot of their levels in order to create the clouds which would cause such drastic rainfall on a global scale.
Plus, such rainstorms would have been more of a hazard to anyone on ships or arks out at sea as opposed to people who are just getting very wet on these hills.

Kenny9857:

I no wan comment before but I have to reply this your comment man
Can you state all the chapters and verses you got all these yeye theory from in the Bible ??
I am not in support of either the Bible or the scientist sir.
I want more knowledge....

Here are some of the things stated in the bible signifying a flat earth:

“Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. - Matthew 5:8
Seeing all the kingdoms from a high mountain top is not possible on a spherical Earth.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. - Genesis 1:6
Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass? - Job 37:18
Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain. - Psalms 104:2
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. - Psalms 148:4
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water. - 2 Peter 3:5
Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously. - Psalms 96:10
Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. - Psalms 104:5
Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land. - Ezekiel 7:2
The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth. - Daniel 4:11
And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. - Revelation 7:1
And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. - Revelation 20:8”




Here are verses from the bible signifying the sun revolves around the earth:

“[Joshua 10:13] And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
In 2 Kings 20:8–11 king Hezekiah asked for a sign from the Prophet Isaiah that he would be healed. The sign was that the sun’s shadow would retreat 10 steps/intervals from where it had been previously. The same sign is repeated in Isaiah 38:7–8.
Isaiah 38:8 Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.
Malachi 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

This has been debated for years, if I read the bible as it stands it says the sun is in motion not the earth:
Job 26:7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.”




Here are verses of the bible signifying the moon produces it’s light:

“Genesis 1:16: "And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars.

Isaiah 30:26, NIV: "The moon will shine like the sun, and the sunlight will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven full days, when the LORD binds up the bruises of his people and heals the wounds he inflicted."

Ezekiel 32:7; And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.

Mark 13:24, NIV: "But in those days, following that distress, ''the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;"

How does this make the Bible untrue?
If for anything it's one more among the barrage of proofs in our physical world in support of the Bible

Except you don't know the Bible, the Bible talks about a pre Adamite world that was filled with creatures but was destroyed and then recreated to what we see today
For References see Isaiah 14 and 2 Peter 3

You mean the same bible that states the earth is flat?
The sun revolves around the earth?
The moon produces it’s own light?
Stop being a clown, your fairy tale book was written by ignorant ancient herders who didn’t know any better.

Una never find even one for Africa ni?
Dinosaurs originated around 230 million years ago when all land on earth was in a single united continent, called Pangea, and dinosaurs spread to all parts of the continent, so when it eventually broke up, they were on every continent, and fossils have also been found on every continent, including
Antarctica.

Furthermore, many people would argue that birds are technically modern dinosaurs, and since there are species of birds on all continents, one could argue that dinosaurs are still on every continent.

I hope you know you are a man and not a woman?

Do you know what that anti-testosterone drug is for? It's to reduce your testosterone levels. Reducing your testosterone levels is bad for a man, you start having side effects like developing man boobs, your semen production and male fertility is adversely affected etc.

Please don't take any drug not prescribed by a medical professional.
I was just laughing when I saw his comment. Anti-testosterone pills are for trans -women or queer men, or just men who want to be feminine. Also testosterone has alot to do with a person's drive, drive to work, drive to succeed including drive for sex. The op had already stated that he didn’t have any drive for sex at all bc of excess masturbation which means he is already having a decline in testosterone. The guy still went ahead to prescribe pills that will kill his drive even more, making him masturbate more for the rest of his life. He just provided a way to improve the problem instead of solving it.

Hmm this explains why most children in the West are fatherless and the whole family system is fccked up, raising dysfunctional children in society causing menace. Although I agree with co-operation but it seems the traditional style works better for raising healthy children.

The founder?

shocked

Don't tell me I'm discussing with a secondary school dropout?

Yes the founder of the “church of Satan ”
Anton Szandor LaVey

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_LaVey

Peter H. Gilmore describes its members as "skeptical
atheists", embracing the Hebrew root of the word " Satan" as "adversary".


The Church does not espouse a belief in Satan as an entity who literally exists,[11] and LaVey did not encourage the worship of Satan as a deity. [12] High Priest Peter H. Gilmore has stated "My real feeling is that anybody who believes in supernatural entities on some level is insane.

Gilmore describes Satanism as beginning with atheism, and taking the view that the universe is indifferent: "There's no God, there's no Devil. No one cares!" [13] LaVey sought to cement his belief system within the secularist world-view that derived from natural science , thus providing him with an anti-theistic basis with which to criticize Christianity and other supernaturalist beliefs. [14] He legitimized his religion by highlighting what he claimed was its rational nature, contrasting this with what he saw as the supernaturalist irrationality of established religions.

Shut up.


Since the 19th century, various small religious groups have emerged that identify as Satanists or use Satanic iconography. Satanist groups that appeared after the 1960s are widely diverse, but two major trends are theistic Satanism and atheistic Satanism. Theistic Satanists venerate Satan as a supernatural deity, viewing him not as omnipotent but rather as a patriarch. In contrast, atheistic Satanists regard Satan as merely a symbol of certain human traits.[1]

Contemporary religious Satanism is predominantly an American phenomenon, the ideas spreading elsewhere with the effects of globalization and the Internet.[2] The Internet spreads awareness of other Satanists, and is also the main battleground for Satanist disputes.[2] Satanism started to reach Central and Eastern Europe in the 1990s, in time with the fall of the Soviet Union, and most noticeably in Poland and Lithuania, predominantly Roman Catholic countries.[3][4

no, how about you shut up!!
Satanism is fictional just like every other religion. The entire idea of “satanism” was invented in the past in order for Christianity to have opposition to pit itself against.
The modern day “Church of Satan” is a joke. It started off specifically to cheese off religious fanatics/zealots who attempted to insert their religion (mainly Americhristianity) into society, government, schools, etc.

The founder of the Church of Satan has even said, “There is no Satan.” and it’s members say the same thing.
But of course there’s the small dark and broody branch of people who think it’s all real just as there are stupid christain bigots who believe in shoving their religion on society, govt and schools, to the point where they’ll blatantly ridicule non-believers and also people of other religions unknowingly becoming a parody of themselves.
Which is what the Church of Satan is trying to enlighten people to.

Also, we all have equal rights to practice of belief so why do you feel to prosecute other beliefs? Hypocrite!!
