1000 naira note changing to 100 naira note involves simple magic tricks. Google Richard Angle, Darren Brown and David Copperfield. They are the greatest magician alive. They perform tricks no pastor or babalawo can ever perform. They both say there there is nothing like supernatural power any where and all of them are atheist. James Randi is another world renowned magician who has dropped a million dollars for any body that can demonstrate the supernatural in action under controlled environment. Many people with so called supernatural abilities went and failed. The money is yet to be won. You just sit there in some remote part of Nigeria thinking you know or have experience anything. You are a funny fellow.

whats emotional here? u christians just get mad over nothing.

let me rephrase the bold so that u can there is no reason to think i meant to insult u...

are you not aware that specific areas of the brain have specific functions. Do u now get it?

frank317:


Does a dog or cat have awareness? Can you tell? If you can how did you know

If humans have lost awareness with functional brain, ti what extent can you say the brain is functional. Are you ignorant of the fact that specific areas of the brain has specific functions?

keenn:


I'll repeat myself again, he his a complex interactions of chemivals.

Life is the awareness of self, through the functioning of the higher centers,specifically the cerebrum...and this can be determined by presence of wave pattern on the encephalogram.

anything deviating from this has no live, even when reflexes are intact.

keenn:



Yes he is a living complex interaction of chemicals

The difference is because of a functional Medula oblongata, a component og the hind brain, this part controls all unconscious activity and muscles not attached to bone - bteathing, respiration, digestion, circulation ...

the absence of a functional cerebrum is the absence of conscious existence/life.

Why not answer questions with answers and not more questions..

keenn:
.


Nigga, what is ur profession?

Did u just say u do things without the involvement of ur brain?

I think we should understand what u mean by brain, if u mean brain as in cerebrum , I agree, but what the OP meant was the total brain, fore, mid and hind brain inclusive.

Where else can mind pick senses from?

You do things like?

There is nothing logical in asserting that life has no creator and ...

I was on the magic money thread and people narrated their experiences in the hands of the fraudulent magicians . I expected an atheist to explain the science of 1000 notes "mysteriously" changing to 10 or 100 naira notes after a period of time . So disappointed that no one showed up to explain how different people across different cities experienced the same kind of fraud and there was nothing enigmatic about their experiences .

Apparently , the atheists turn a blind eye to anything that beats their dumb logic .

So Weah96 , can you explain using logic and science why how 1000 naira notes could change to 100 naira notes inside a drawer

winner01:
Maybe you should tell us, afterall the dullard made the initial claim.

plaetton:


The point eludes you still.

So, let me try again.

Scientific studies are good only when it helps your arguments against atheism ?

But same scientific studies, when focused on religious superstitions, then become the work of rebellious non- believers or the devil.

I simply why you don't apply scientific studies , for example, in examining how a virgin can birth a child.

whats this? where is the mind located

dalaman:


Your statement:
The mind is the sum total of all the neurological activities that go on in the human brain. You can't reason or do anything without the brain. We all have brains and your own behavior can be altered when your brain is altered. The mind is the function of the brain, the brain can be seen and has been worked on in various ways with various results. Material substance like alcohol and drugs affect the brain and it's function so , you aren't asking a serious question that isn't known or hasn't been experimented with.

My Response:
Mind is not function of brain. The mind is more than the brain has capacity to operate.

Your Statement:
Please tell this God of yours which you are in a relationship with to tell you exactly when he created the universe, He should give you the exact time and date and tell you how many days he used in creating the universe. That shouldn't be difficult for you since you claims you are in a very serious relationship with this God idea of your.


My Response:
If he tells you what God spoke to him about that will you believe him?


Your Statement:
I have told you that God is a man made idea that is why there are many different Gods and may different religions.

My Response:
Does that mean that the existence of fakes is a proof that originals don't exist

Your Statement:
The religion you chose to follow is based purely by birth.


My Response:
Did you know him that much? You even know those who didn't change religion just by online interaction? This is part of the irrational stuffs I talked about but you are not using it rightly here.

Your Statement:
If you were born into a muslim family in Iran yo would have been a Shite muslim, if you were born into a Hindu family in Nepal you would have been a Hindu. You are a christian only because you were born into a christian family in Nigeria. Stop talking about God as if there is such a being out there that exist, there is no such thing, what exist is just the idea, the people that subscribe and believe those ideas and the system that was created based on the theology and doctrines based on that God idea.
Even within your religion there are different concepts of this God idea, the Catholics for example have a very different God idea compared to the Pentecostal word of faith movement or the Aladora/ cherubim and seraphim white garment wearing Christians. They might profess God but when you look deep inside you will see that they all have very different ideas of what this God is to them all.


My Response:
Maybe Pyrrho can now understand what I meant about the kind of atheists I said I've been meeting. You are making assertive statements over what you don't have prove for yet you say only evidence (better still, what YOU prefer to be the evidence) is required for God to exist.YOU ARE BEING UNFAIR TO YOUR BRAIN AND TO YOUR HUMANITY. Hope you are not offended? Just stating what I think about how you think.

plaetton:


Lol.

So. You're putting your faith in scientific studies only when it suits you ?

Big laugh.

dalaman:


What is the mind? Is the mind something that exist on it's own outside the function of the brain?

dalaman:


The mind is the sum total of all the neurological activities that go on in the human brain. You can't reason or do anything without the brain.

Nitefury:


I wouldn't exactly say she's insecure. But I think her growing up, past working career and bosses all played lots of roles in how she relates with her staff today. More like she's from an era where you are expected to be a yes man or something of that sort to your superiors.

She's a sweet boss actually and truly knows the job in truth.

But I just wish she'll hear me (and my colleagues) out once in a while.

onetrack:
Atheists are not robots. Humans are irrational by nature. No surprise that atheists can be irrational or emotional. But it does not mean that I believe in any god.

finofaya:
I don't concur with much of your OP but at least you agree that it is rational to consider the possibility that God does not exist. I don't think you would agree that it is rational to consider for example the possibility that the thing we call our Sun does not exist. I think this tells us something about the nature of the so called God.

Weah96:


Don't kill me with laff. Mind reading and atheism are two different things. Which kyn retail store dichotomy is dis one sef? Are you telling me that you will do business in a store where all the agents are either mute or slow?

Nitefury:
My boss needs to read this..

Always shouting down your opinions or whatever one has to say once it doesn't align with her thoughts. Quick to remind you of the fact that she got many merit awards in the civil service.

So I just got fed up with the "you know nothing", "I wonder the type of graduate you are" "You don't have a teachable spirit" etc. and decided to agree to everything she says or keep quiet.

Obviously she enjoys the drama of arguing and shouting people down when they try to state their case (perhaps only that way proves she's the boss to her), because the week that followed my withdrawal wasn't funny.

"You're angry", "You have girl issues. Leave girls and face your work", "At my age I know when a child is having grudges" etc are few of the things she said in a bid to break my shell.. I didn't even argue with her, but in my head I was I don tire to fight you madam

Pyrrho:

Many are agnostic-atheist, all God claims cannot be substantiated and should therefore be discarded as truth.

Pyrrho:
I disagree with you on this one.

Atheist are mostly sceptics, people who sought to understand more. They aren't willing to settle for some primitive write-ups of alien cultures as authoritative submissions.

Being religious is actually easier than being an atheist in this part of the world especially.

Accepting that no one has answers beyond this existence is a bitter pill to swallow.

I respect atheists. They are never as dogmatic as theists.
It isn't really a show of intelligence for agnostics like me to present our arguments, it is mostly to refute theistic claims.

It is not about being better, it isn't a matter of pride.

DipoDee:
The subjugation of women started right from the bible, the world just followed suit.

If God had treated women better, there wouldn't have been any need for feminism and whatnots now.

Pyrrho:
Every animal, intelligent or unintelligent, would do as you claim atheist do.

Even a dog would prefer someone who treats him better, baiting an animal is the oldest method of hunting.

Would you say a dog has faith because he expects milk in his plates?

Survival is a basic instinct in animals.

What is so special about your claim?
