Guy just start making your own honest trailer videos

rastarman: from history Christopher Columbus 1886 is when the view of the world was spherical was publicly accepted to some persons. the ancient Egypt astronomers knew that the earth was spherical. the Sanskrit of Hinduism did not say the Earth was flat. it was the church father's who were discussing and arguing about the flat earth..... till Christopher Columbus using ship navigation was able to prove to them the earth is spherical. NB The European people always love to define their environment as the world, which is not so.... there are people in China and America and other parts of the world with different believes.

The book of Job spoke of the earth being spherical and hanging on nothing.

macof: My ancestors passed education to me.

Religious men have yes! It was a priest who initiated the big bang theory.

But then let's talk about christianity in mediaeval times. How the church killed and jailed philosophers and scientist for practising, saying any knowledge outside the Bible is from the devil bla bla bla.

How many text from early scientist were destroyed and some rewritten over to hide their original notes

Evolution theory has helped improve biology, medicine and even chemistry
It is also generally a Great step in understanding our universe

Please be specific, i need to know what good its contribution to those subjects has done to save a life or to make life easy

macof: You believe in supernatural? santa is the king of the supernaturals

Give me answers and stop blabbing about santa

macof: Are you mad? When did religion do all this?
education is the reason for literacy, creativity and art is the reason for clothes not religion.
Sacrificed by who?? Damned dummy evolution theory has helped improve human understanding of the universe, both in biology and other branches

Who brought education to you. Religious men made major discoveries in science.
Apart from brainwashing your kind tell me what good evolution has done to science

Where are the scientific
breakthroughs due to
evolution? Dr Marc
Kirschner, chair of the
Department of Systems
Biology, Harvard Medical
School, stated: “In fact, over
the last 100 years, almost all
of biology has proceeded
independent of evolution,
except evolutionary biology
itself. Molecular biology,
biochemistry, physiology,
have not taken evolution
into account at all.”9 Dr Skell
wrote, “It is our knowledge
of how these organisms
actually operate, not
speculations about how
they may have arisen
millions of years ago, that is
essential to doctors,
veterinarians, farmers
… .”10 Evolution actually
hinders medical
discovery.11 Then why do
schools and universities
teach evolution so
dogmatically, stealing
time from experimental
biology that so benefits
humankind?

macof: What ancients?? the poor gullible people or the actual priests and philosophers who established personifications around various forms of energy?

discoveries made weren't on religious background, religion discovers nothing it is stagnant on it's founding dogmas, the religious only follow what they are told.
Knowledge of planets as the ancient Greek and Roman pagans knew were not religion but spirituality.
Get the difference between religion and spirituality

You say religion is stagnant. You lie.
*Religion is the reason you call yourself literate
*Religion is the reason why you are not wearing leaves right now
*Religion is the reason you 've not been sacrificed to a tree or a rock.
Apart from taking people's heart from God, evolution has added nothing to science

EMILO2STAY: stop blabing and give one proof or evolution.

You should stop arguing with this Macof guy, he explains nothing but throws insults at people. Liekiller is intelligent, he is worthy of your time

EMILO2STAY: stop blabing and give one proof or evolution.

You should stop arguing with this Macof guy, he explains nothing but throws insults at people. Liekiller is intelligent, thats the guy we should face.

EMILO2STAY: am simply open minded, if u present a theory of evolution that makes sense i will accept, but what u guys have been doing is pouring abuses instead rebuting.

Thank you

Could you guys just give me the answers to the 5 questions i asked.
My post never said anything about me believing in santa claus or fairies. I don't believe they exist but i strongly believe in the supernatural, because i have seen things science can't explain

Liekiller: Apparently you are reading about "intelligent design" instead of evolution. That is NOT science but religious pseudoscience. Don't let yourself be fooled by the various smart words being used in that text. I suggest again that you read the links I gave you earlier as they answer these questions based on today's scientific knowledge. I would also like to point out that the origin of life is not the same thing as evolution. There are various ideas about this in science, but it is not known for sure how it happened. Remember that it happened about 3 billion years ago. Many factors are still unknown and will maybe never be fully understood.

I read one of them, learnt some things about the similarities among animals. I'm sorry i still keep naming evolution as the origin of life. Why do you still accept the theory when you can't fully understand it

Q. 5
Science involves
experimenting to figure
out how things work; how
they operate. Why is
evolution, a theory about
history, taught as if it is
the same as this
operational science? You
cannot do experiments, or
even observe what
happened, in the past.
Asked if evolution has been
observed, Richard Dawkins
said, “Evolution has been
observed. It’s just that it
hasn’t been observed while
it’s happening.”

Q. 4
How did sex originate?
Asexual reproduction gives
up to twice as much
reproductive success
(‘fitness’) for the same
resources as sexual
reproduction, so how could
the latter ever gain enough
advantage to be selected?
And how could mere
physics and chemistry
invent the complementary
apparatuses needed at the
same time (non-intelligent
processes cannot plan for
future coordination of male
and female organs).

Q. 3
How did multi-cellular life
originate? How did cells
adapted to individual
survival ‘learn’ to cooperate
and specialize (including
undergoing programmed
cell death) to create
complex plants and
animals?

Q. 2
How could mutations—
accidental copying mistakes
(DNA ‘letters’ exchanged,
deleted or added, genes
duplicated, chromosome
inversions, etc.)—create the
huge volumes of
information in the DNA of
living things? How could
such errors create 3 billion
letters of DNA information
to change a microbe into a
microbiologist? There is
information for how to
make proteins but also for
controlling their use—much
like a cookbook contains
the ingredients as well as
the instructions for how
and when to use them. One
without the other is useless.
See: Meta-information: An
impossible conundrum for
evolution
. Mutations are known for
their destructive effects,
including over 1,000 human
diseases such as
hemophilia. Rarely are they
even helpful. But how can
scrambling existing DNA
information create a new
biochemical pathway or
nano-machines with many
components, to make ‘goo-
to-you’ evolution possible?
E.g., How did a 32-
component rotary motor
like ATP synthase (which
produces the energy
currency, ATP, for all life), or
robots like kinesin (a
‘postman’ delivering parcels
inside cells) originate?

Liekiller: ask a specific questions when they arise

1. How did life originate?
Evolutionist Professor Paul
Davies admitted, “Nobody
knows how a mixture of
lifeless chemicals
spontaneously organized
themselves into the first
living cell.”1 Andrew Knoll,
professor of biology,
Harvard, said, “we don’t
really know how life
originated on this planet”.2
A minimal cell needs several
hundred proteins. Even if
every atom in the universe
were an experiment with all
the correct amino acids
present for every possible
molecular vibration in the
supposed evolutionary age
of the universe, not even
one average-sized
functional protein would
form. So how did life with
hundreds of proteins
originate just by chemistry
without intelligent design?

Ghost01: @OP - Take a look into the Boeing - focusing more on the technological advancements that defines each aircraft model in the series. That's evolution! We are creatures of nature; we also embodies it - create things that follows the NATURAL pattern. Again, consider the changes that human beings undergo from the formation of the foetus to old age. If that's not evolution, I don't know what is.

Were the airplanes not designed? Did they get advanced by the law of nature?

plaetton: You don't want to be linked to any site, but you want to be educated here on Nairaland the same way they teach you in church.

Now we know that you are a lazy learner.

Unwilling to teach in your own words. Aren't you the lazy teacher

macof: illiterate, you just displaying how education in Nigeria is a failure as religion seems to be the only thing worth the nations attention

Abiogenesis is the theory of the origin of life and not Biogenesis as you earlier stated.

Instead of insulting me, why not enlighten me. If it seems to you that i know nothing about evolution, why not tutor me. And please don't links me to any site. Thank you

May i ask how you all came to accept evolution. It seems you all just accepted it because you can't accept creationism and not because you 've seen evolution at work. You 've never witnessed an animal growing longer necks for stretching to eat something beyond its reach neither have you seen a Snake transforming into an alligator, you just accept it because scientists (who can't even physically prove it) say it is so.

plaetton: No scientists believed that the world was flat.
The dark ages meant an era where scientific enquiry was subdued and church dictated what was true or false.
So t was churchmen that held that the earth was flat.

How can church men call the Earth flat when the Bible had described the Earth as spherical and hanging on nothing

plaetton: From the all the above , it is obvious that you have no basic understanding of the mechanics of the universe.
Your write-up is much too juvenile to even warrant a rebuttal.
It is unfortunate that you are celebrating your ignorance in public.

The important thing is that you very free to believe in the invisible sky-fairy. It make no difference to the universe, as long as you don't pass that stone-age blindness to the young or any other person for that matter.

The theory of evolution is accepted by more 90% of the world's leading scientists. It is a theory that has not been scientifically refuted in over 150yrs since it was put together, rather, every modern branch of science such as genetics has confirmed the theory proposed 150yrs ago.

Therefore, the ignorant opinions of semi-primitive people that are beholden to stone-age superstitions on the topic of evolution are highly IRRELEVANT and hardly warrants a response.

90% of the World's scientists accepting it does not make it truth, there was a time when almost all philosphers, wise men and even scientists of the dark ages believed the earth was flat. To you God doesn't exist because you can't see him, feel him, or figure his origin, i can't either, but evolution has done nothing to explain the origin of Man whether 99% of the scientists in the World accept it. Feel free to prove my post wrong bit by bit without insulting me

macof: The theory of the origin of life is Biogenesis, change in biomechanics of an organism is evolution

Biogenesis talks about life generating from an already existing life.

striktlymi: That is wrong! Evolution is not an attempt to explain the origin of life and the Universe.

If you know of a different theory about life's origin, why not share it.

It is actually difficult to believe in a God whose origin i can't explain, but i find it even harder to believe that this complex beign (man) evolved from a unicellular organism.

Psylas: Evolution is the mechanism God used to create things

Could you please elaborate.

In much of the scientific and educational community today, evolution is the main view given for the origin of life and the universe. I want to believe this but can't due to the following reasons:
1. The teaching of evolution is not truly scientific. According to science, all conclusions must be based on indisputable evidence. The evidence must come from experiments that can be duplicated or repeated over and over with the same end results. However, no experiments could test and prove assumptions like the ''big bang'' theory, nor can it be proven that living things developed gradually from the simplest to the most complex forms( this point defies the second law of thermodynamics that describes how physical matter tends toward disorder-not higher order-as it changes.)
2. Change and development will occur within various species. For example, we occasionally see new developments or mutations within species. But there is no evidence, not even in earth history or fossil records which supports the theory that one kind of living thing ever evolved from another kind.
3. The order of the solar system cannot happen by chance. Lets say there's an explosion and out of it came the Sun, the Stars, the nine planets with their natural satelites (e.g. Moon). These planets decided on their own to revolve in elliptical orbit arround the Sun in anti-clockwise direction (except Neptune).
I can't consider these things and still believe in evolution, this is like having faith in human theory. I am a baby Christian who knows very little about his religion, but i would rather believe in a God i know nothing of than to believe i evolved from an Amoeba. Lets discuss this. Mod abeg frontpage

How about offering jobs to talented and well behaved College drop-outs?

Use Queen Elisabeth cocoa butter. Its hard to find but try checking in drug stores. Thank me later

My younger sis keeps telling me that i'm becoming fairer. The opposite effect of any other cocoa butter cream. Does this cream( queen elisabeth) secretly bleach its users?
