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?

THANK GOD FOR 2013

The blame goes to Adam. Eve ate and nothing happened, things began to change after Adam consumed the fruit. But God knows if it was me, the fruit would have served as juice after i have consumed the serpent.

A joint effort by the Nigerian
army and police earlier today
prevented the attempted
burning of St. Mary's Catholic
Church in Nyanya area of the
federal capital territory in
Abuja.
Sources at the church told
SaharaReporters that trouble
started when a Hausa-speaking
Muslim man in the area was
prevented from parking his car
too close to the church building.
The measure was put in place as
a way of preventing Islamist
militants from attacking
Christian places of worship on
Sundays.
The man, however, resisted the
police and soldiers guarding the
church. An argument ensued
leading to his arrest and
humiliation by the security
agents who told him to "frog-
jump" in front of the church.
After his release by the police,
the man reportedly went into
the community to mobilize some
people to attack the church and
burn it down.
Panicked church members left
the church leaving their cars
behind.
However, a swift intervention by
police and soldiers prevented
the man and his mob from
burning the church. The security
agents then started shooting in
the area leading more residents
to flee the immediate vicinity of
the crisis.
According to Saharareporters
the man arrested and tortured
by the soldiers died after he was
tortured. The events following
this was a protest by commercial
bike riders in the area to protest
his death at the hand of the
soldiers guarding the church.
There is still no official
confirmation at to what really
transpired in Nyanya. All church
members have been released
from the church to go home as
shooting the area has died
down.

[quote author=amir_99]Are we christians of paulstains... Cos all our arguement are centered around the letters of paul who funny enough never met christ.. The lords prayer is the template for all christian prayers and jesus never spoke in any Unintelligible language[/quote]Yeah he never did, but he mentioned it. The holy spirit manifested itself in Man after Christ's ascention
