This thread is interesting, if only for the fact that people haven't started insulting each other! long may that continue. i'll just like to point out the evidence for common ancestry is so staggering you won't even know where to start. Phylogenetic studies seem to be the strongest evidence we have so far. Simply if organisms have a common ancestor, they should all have genetic imprint common in all organisms. Studies into ribosomal RNA (rRNA) especially the 16S rRNA by Carl Woese and many others shows its existence in all organisms. rRNA has the remarkable ability of preserving itself intact no matter how many times it is replicated. Similarities in the rRNA sequences of all living organisms point to common ancestry. Now, there are so many other proofs like all eyes sharing a similar set of light sensing proteins called opsins (puts paid to the idea of irreducibility complexity of the human eye) or the homoebox set of genes present in all vertebrates. Google is ur friend. |
Jews face jerusalem when they pray. Muslims initially faced jerusalem because Mohammed wanted the Jews to join him. when they refuse, he told all muslims to face mecca |
Dexema:for Ucl matches you pay 9k+. don't u just love DsThieVes... |
OmaniPadmeHum:I understand your point about the stewardess, but ignoring racism when it's blatantly manifested is a no. How do you think 'driving while black' and the shootings that provoked BLM started? Stereotyping. All blacks are drug dealers, pimps and always carry guns which they use to shoot each other, or just shoot anyone they see, cos you see, they 've got no sense. So police officers always switch to the default stereotype mode when they see a black man. They don't instinctively hate black people. They just shoot first because their stereotyping had sunk into their subconscious and they won't want to get shot first. That's why it's important to fight the thoughts and words of racism because they become actions. Eg if Buhari says most Nigerians abroad are drug dealers and criminals, which sane country would want to give visas to drug dealers and criminals? it's important to present a counter narrative to racial stereotyping. |
She said we 've got big balls n dicks. that's a compliment. And we loooveee beef. No argument there. |
monlawal:it is. polymer component was added in the build to make it safer. plays no part in the core battery itself |
If it's a sin, over 95% of all men gleefully commit it. A psychologist said on an online forum I read sometime ago he's more concerned about men who DON'T masturbate. In case you are wondering, 95% includes all the religious people forming holy holy here including ScienceWatch ![]() |
ScienceWatch:Have you read the book? Just curious. |
get homtom ht50. got it for wifey on jumia for 35k or so and she's enjoying it. Good camera ( not the best around sha), plenty space 32gb and 3gb ram. it supports mtn 4G. battery 100-60% in 12 hours moderate use. heavy gaming and browsing should take 6 hours or so. good phone for the price. |
ScienceWatch:lol, if I could call for tithes and registration too, I would. it's not the exclusive right of someone who attended a 6 month theology program. And if God comes down today, I would ask him why he left so little evidence of his existence. |
ScienceWatch:lol, typical. I was just waiting for you to resort to insults and innuendo. This just confirms my argument. You want me to believe in God just because Prof Collins says so. Nobody doubts Prof Collins pedigree as one of the foremost scientists of our time. I just said his argument for God was weak based on what I garnered from his book. |
probably not his daughter. nicca scared of investing in a lost cause ![]() |
ScienceWatch:I've actually read Prof Collins book, the language of God. I encourage all atheists to read it and follow your link or whatever. i'm where I am today because I've examined both arguments for and against God and the arguments for God come up way short. Collins' reason for believing in God are pretty daft. The summary of what convinced him is this: CS Lewis' argument that christianity and Christ must be speaking the truth because they make a very audacious claim. 2. DNA is so well developed it must have come from God. now, in the same book, he urged against using the 'God of the gaps' argument, showing the argument for irreducible complexity has been trounced again and again. he then goes ahead to use 'the God of the gaps ' argument for the existence of DNA! He then goes ahead to mention the presence of a conscience in all human beings as evidence for God's existence. He however failed to explain how this conscience manifests itself in the different ways people perceive right or wrong eg a pakistani muslim may be 100% convinced the right thing to is to kill his sister who left her husband's house, or an extremist may feel the best moral option open to him is to blow some people up, or a Catholic is convinced he is a terrible sinner if he doesn't eat a wafer on sunday. You tactics seem to be ' Prof Collins believes in God. Who are you not to?' |
lol, I just knew it was heading towards marriage... |
you mean I should believe in God because Prof Collins does whatever his reason? is that not how we ended up with thousands of religions? |
mbjsuki:Baba that contested for 12 years+ before winning had no ulterior motive abi? A time comes when you life makes no meaning apart from purpose. Atiku feels his purpose in this life of to affect life at the national level positively as president. Everyone is entitled to his own purpose that gives his life meaning. |
ExInferis:Trace Atiku's wealth. it's from a company he founded after retiring from the Customs service known as INTELS. Atiku retired during Buhari's military regime, when people were jailed left right and centre for corruption. Buhari begged him to stay on, but he refused. he formed Intels after seeing the short comings of the Customs in providing adequate services to port users. Intels is the no 1 oil servicing firm in terms of import/ export logistics. it's business extends to other port users. Such a company rakes in billions of naira yearly. The American University is small change compared to Intels. Intels control all other ports apart from Lagos. Atiku has always been the beautiful bride in politics because he has money to burn. He has used his wealth to establish a wide national network. There is no politician that is not scared of his wealth, that is why he is constantly defamed as corrupt to make him bad goods and take him out of the competition. As VP, OBJ was always fighting him so he didn't emerge as president. OBJ investigated up and down and couldn't come up with any evidence of corruption. if he did, Atiku would still be rotting in jail. Atiku has issued a challenge no one could attempt till today. he said all those with evidence of his corruption from his custom days till today should provide such evidence. All those shouting Atiku is corrupt haven't been able to do this. OBJ tried oyibo tactics to link him with the Halliburton scandal. As at November, 2016, the US department of Justice have said he wasn't under any criminal investigation. |
wow, nice. so long as you don't change your tune when your best arguments get trumped.. |
Evaberry:if it was so easy, the teacher should have taught it in class. This trend of giving impossibly long and difficult assignments to children is just ludicrous. If parents had the time and energy to do every assignment for their wards, won't they home school their kids instead of paying a substantial amount of their income as school fees? |
Do we even have marriage counsellors in Nigeria? or even psychologists you can both see. Because if e enter family members level, all they will tell you is 'endure. you are not the first'. pastors' own 'is pray and be patient'. I suggest you talk things over with him first. communication does wonders. if you want a child, study and use billings method. Discuss it with your husband as it takes 2 to succeed. most catholic churches have a billings method training program. ask around. |
juliola:lol some people are panicking already... |
no doubt Eedris is just looking for relevance, but the story that 2face forgot Blackface is false. People close to both of them will tell you how 2face has been picking his bills running to millions until recently when he got tired and decided to cut the deadweight. That was when threats of suing 2face for piracy started. Blackface would go to clubs in lagos with his crew and spend serious money and call 2baba to offset the bill. that's aside from different money problems he has helped him out of. After a while, 2baba got tired. |
please quickly go to an Imam or an islamic scholar for your dose of blue pill. there is no going back from the red pill of atheism. you just can't unsee the truth. |
bloodofthelamb:you first have to prove God exists before we talk about a 'beginning point' |
Victornezzar:ohhhh boyyyyy. That means dstv is dead o. Can't wait! |
Omololu007:you must heard of the long running battle between the basque separatist movement ETA and Spanish govt forces and the losses incurred on both sides before fighting stopped. Also, the central Spanish govt has threatened to withdraw catalonia's budget if they go ahead with a referendum. Fighting for succession is hard, bitter business. No nation will allow itself be torn aprart without fighting back. To start a succession, you should be prepared for very strong repercussions. |
Victornezzar:please will they show premier league and champions league? |
NLOwner:heavy usage, say 8-10 hrs, 100-0 |
NLOwner:cam is ok, nothing spectacular though. it's a nice phone for its price. haven't tried heavy games on it yet, just subway surfers, but so far it's doing a good job. browsing is fast and it doesn't hang. display is ok. sound is ok. again, nothing spectacular. |
If she wants to use her degree for anything, she should go back and hustle year one admission. Build up her gp to at least 2.1 level. Shouldn't be too hard with her experience. Saying she's no slay mama doesn't exonerate her. An average student in a nigerian university will graduate with a 2.2. Anybody with 10 carryovers is an unserious student, to say the least. You must have just refused to study or you were not available to due to too much hustling which you didn't balance with small reading. If she doesn't want to start over, she can graduate with her pass degree, dump it and start different hustling. |
