[quote author=nNEOo post=48190669][/quote]It's just a metaphor. There is nothing like "worship" in science.

You seem to be living in 1997, 2 decades ago.

Here is an excerpt from 2014 interview of William gates

Just to set the records straight.


"Bill Gates is not only the world’s richest person, he’s also one of the most generous. His organization, The Gates Foundation, is dedicated to eradicating diseases and helping the world’s most poor, and he’s committed to giving away almost his entire fortune. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, he revealed that part of the inspiration for helping others is based on religious principles. He told the magazine (the questions about faith are on page five of the interview),

The moral systems of religion, I think, are superimportant. We've raised our kids in a religious way; they've gone to the Catholic church that Melinda goes to and I participate in. I've been very lucky, and therefore I owe it to try and reduce the inequity in the world. And that's kind of a religious belief. I mean, it's at least a moral belief."

Please try to always do current research

"

Current research??
Ok!

Am not talking about how he raised his children, his wife belief, but what am saying here is that the gate personality is a science genius and cannot analyze empirical observations and logical explanations by been religious.

I too intend to have an average religious wife like Malinda and raise up my children on how to make that fictional book a reality.

Am now getting it that you love utilizing opportunities in affiliating great men into your religious belief while isolating others.

Bill Gate is not a theist and that is final. I don't care if people call me agnostic, deist, a pantheist or a freethinker, all I care about is that I USE MY BRAIN AND NOT MENTALLY COLONIZED.

KingEbukaNaija:
Bill Gates is not an atheist of whatever type . Irreligiousity =! atheism . Having no religion does not make you an atheist . Bill Gate is most likely a deist . "It makes sense to believe in God" as he puts it .

Any theist that tag this man as a believer (a Christian) is a desperate Christian and not a friend of Jesus.
Don't just try to associate people to your religion because of their high social status (aristocracy).

He is an atheist just that he is trying to be a good Communist by not speaking his views about religion but better still, based on the above statements, he ain't a Christian at all (I don't care if he is an agnostic or what ever).

Offline, I am also like bill that doesn't give a damn at religion even when I was still a Christian. Even now, I don't use to engage in religious conversations cuz am not just motivated to do so. I still go to church when I feel like watching a live entertainment at my custody especially when am told that a drama will be holding and that the choreographers will be presenting their ministrations.
I love discussing about knowledge in general and including theology which is a branch of philosophy.

Based on this my offline status, am I a real Christian or a believer??

Religion is very good at making superstitious folklores. Using human emotions to demonstrate a written poet. Their quality over-moral standard, their loving and giving nature. To be honest, the society do have their own positive side effect. I love those men that organized those principles just that the main book (the Bible) needs a lot of editing to fit into an effective use in this 21st century.

There is only one thing that retain a rational mind in Christianity.
That simple thing is called "fear".

I just don't consider it sane to be detain in Christianity all because of fear. That is to tell you that every rational mind is an atheist just that some smart people among us are smart enough to boldly declare themselves as an atheist.

Assumptively, if there is really an intelligent designer for the universe, i would have adhere to the theory of Creators and not a single Creator.
Just be sane enough to know the meaning of power and restrict yourself from this abject misconception that a single personality keeps commanding the materialistic world into existence and reality. The theory of divinity is a more dangerous trash than religion herself.
That someone is powerful doesn't just mean that he will sit down and say "Let there be light" and the irrational mind who wasn't there coming into some silly conclusion by saying that "And there was light". That is purely fiction.

And tracing the existence of this Creator, you guys are yet to provide a convincing point of discuss. The last time I asked you guys, you intelligently deviated by instructing me to stop questioning the existence of the Creator. This typically imply that you people have no idea of how your Creator was created and became stagnant to the fallible theory that he wasn't created.
Since you can't explain the origin of your Creator, I as an homo sapient believe that I was likewise uncreated.
I think that it is high time I write on the God's Origin.
And beside, If anyone will prove to the world the existence of God and other mythological being, it should be the sane and genius scientists among us that are more exposed to the outside world (the universe) than us and not just some primitive men sitting their black ass in Africa and confidently telling the world the Creator that created the Cosmo.

In most cases, I don't have personal issues with religion, just that if there is a God, you don't have to be the medium to reveal his personality, characteristics and functionalities to the world through speech and writings. Let we the world patiently wait till he finally make his identity known to his creature. We are all human, so you don't have to be the one deciding for us if there is a Creator or not.
The way the entirety of religion was created clearly indicated that it is purely fiction, an emotional appeal and the works of primitive men like you and them.
The boldness to be publicly declaim as an atheist is what many people lacks. But that they've not yet declare themselves doesn't qualify them as a Christian either.
The weapon of religion is a deadly weapon that specifically target humans emotion and not the mind, knowing that if human are emotionally captured they cannot be mentally vibrant.

I didn't plan to become an atheist just that the day I started thinking in an erected position, I realized that the philosophy behind religion contradicted the law of reason. I thought that I was the only one thinking that way but decided to stumble on the study of the philosophy behind science and discovered that the theory of the supernatural is a decline concept in the framework of science and scientific theories. Science clearly discarded religious belief and superstitions to achieve success in their progressive explosion on knowledge, artificial creation and the universe.
Then I said Wow! I ain't the only one thinking this way, science does.

It just seems silly to see Africans waiting in suspense for the new earth when the west are already invading another planet successfully and colonizing the alien worlds.

I love Sanity!
I love Genius!
I love Science!
I love Reading!
I love Technology!
I love artificial creations!
I have a vast lust for knowledge!

nNEOo:
Wow are u a Christian,Muslim or ethiest

Am totally in support of her decision. I just wonder if religionists in Africa will be smart enough to start worshipping Google because it is more than a central hub for information repository, it is a deity.

Google is mankind saviour in the age of information. Most religious fanatics aren't happy about this intricate fact since they know that information will open the eyes of people and make them to know how they've been deeply scammed by religion.

Once again, Google is a saviour to mankind.

[size=20]Universal Windows 10 Apps[/size]

We knew that Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter were committed to "Universal Windows Platform Apps," but we got a news that more are coming: Starbucks is the big one. But you can also expect Uber, Vine, Bank of America, WWE, and a ton of games. Microsoft showed off a few graphical flourishes developers can now add to Windows apps, including a motion blur and highlight effect you can activate with trackpad gestures.

They also dove into some code that lets developers easily add Ink abilities into their apps. A virtual ruler was involved. Microsoft also showed off an "Electronic Flight Bag," which is basically a
Surface tablet that pilots can use to track all the information they need to fly. Boeing is going all in with it. But a bigger deal is that Microsoft is providing a desktop tool to developers so they can convert their current Windows apps to the new universal platform. Microsoft says it can work on 16 million current apps.

[size=20]Batch Integration[/size]

Users of Unix-style operating systems like Linux and OS X are probably familiar with the Bash shell — it rules your command-line life. Now, Microsoft has partnered with Canonical — the company that maintains Ubuntu — to bring the Bash shell to Windows. For developers, tweakers and people who use multiple platforms, this is huge. Now, you can use the same commands that you’re familiar with on OS X and Linux distros inside Windows, and that includes
everything from file management to app development and installation.

This also opens up fans of the command line to a whole host of new tricks that aren’t available in the DOS-style command line. Microsoft points out that this isn’t an emulator or virtualised app, but Bash is running natively directly in Windows.

[size=20]Cortana "The intelligent software agent"[/size]

In the newest Windows 10 update, you’ll be able
to use Cortana right from the login screen without logging in (minus the personalisation, of course).
Cortana is also getting smarter, integrating everything it knows about you across all of Microsoft’s products.

Cortana will more intelligently understand time, for
example. She can identify the PowerPoint you were working on last night, or the toy store you visited last year, and suggest calendar appointments based on emails and texts you receive.
Cortana can also work with third party apps
more deeply — developers can set up actions
that do things with their app.

[size=20] Windows Ink [/size]

Half the problem with styluses on computers is
the lack of software that supports them. In the
Anniversary Update, Windows 10 will get more
support for pen tools. Microsoft’s new Ink
Workspace will let you create sketches, write
sticky notes, annotate screenshots and find pen-
enabled apps.

Microsoft is also offering new APIs for
developers to add pen-related features to their
apps. One of the most interesting is a virtual
ruler that users can rotate and move around
freely to make drawing on-screen easier, and
some auto-alignment and adjustment tools to
make everything from highlighting text to drawing
charts fall into place neatly and tidily.
Any lines drawn along the edge of the ruler will be kept perfectly straight. Microsoft has already added
support for this tool to several apps including
Office, but developers can add it to their own
apps with just a couple of lines of code. This
should make stylus-friendly apps much easier to
come by.

More pictures of Microsoft HoloLens...

[size=30]Microsoft Hololens[/size]

Microsoft’s HoloLens, the virtual and
augmented reality headset that Microsoft
announced earlier this year, is to be
released in the new year.

[img]http://www.sns-it.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/microsoft-hololens-release-price.jpg[/img]

The first HoloLens app shown on stage was
Galaxy Explorer, which seemed to be
holograms of planets and galaxies you can
manipulate with gestures. Microsoft is
releasing both the app and the source code
today, giving HoloLens developers something
they can study and build from. And NASA
showed off a HoloLens called OnSight and
Destination Mars, which lets you view the red
planet through the perspective of the
agency’s scientists.

Some of the features available in it include:

1. The failure of Google Glass
probably isn’t relevant
The hype surrounding Google Glass
was so great that, let’s be serious, it
was going to be hard for any thing to
live up to it. Being a bit later to the
scene means that, on one hand,
HoloLens can meet with more realistic
expectations. But there are other
differences. Google Glass was meant
to be worn out in the world, where it
offered little more than what was
available on your smart phone but with
an ultimately distracting interface.

2. HoloLens will work with all the
softwares
Being a Microsoft product means that
HoloLens will easily incorporate all the
Windows 10 applications that make
your world go round. This is a big deal.

[size=24]Let's Build 2016 - By Microsoft[/size]

Let's build 2016 is an annual non-teleconferencing event initiated by Microsoft which hosted quite a number of developers across the United State and the world at large.
https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/t_original/xzqpdi7xk6jzsjznc9iz.jpg
The major objective for conducting this program by Microsoft (a software tech giant) is to showcase to the world the amazing and unrestricted power of modern technology.
Also in the course of the event, Microsoft promised the emergence of enormous amount of intelligent powerful gadgets which is a major theme in this concise and abridged article.


As we all know that Microsoft in particular is a Software company that developer software for various electronic devices. They always build some hardware part in amalgamation with top companies that specifies in the creation of electronic hardware components. Microsoft really has vast ambition for software which was altogether laid out at the build conference. In this year 2016, Microsoft have practically demonstrated this by presenting to people; the developer first and the rest of the world, the deployment of artificial intelligence and software agents in electronic devices.
This article is not putting into definition and explanation what a software is, what artificial intelligence is and what a software agent is but I will briefly provide their meaning in the next paragraph.


Software: [/i]Based on layman's definition, software are basically program. Program but simply consist of clearly stated and logically defined sequence of instructions projected into the computer system to emit an eminent accomplished results of a specified task.

[i]Artificial intelligence: [/i]Artificial intelligence are man-made scientifically designed intelligence embedded into a system, a machine and other complex system such as computer, smart phones, electronics e.t.c.
It is the branch of computer science concerned with making computers behave like humans while it's few implementations includes gaming, expert system, natural language & voice recognition, neural networks and robotics.

However, this to professionals in the field may still be a layman's definition while Wikipedia (world leading online encyclopedia) made expanse in the definition by clearly stating that:
" Artificial intelligence ( AI) is intelligence
exhibited by machines . In computer science ,
an ideal "intelligent" machine is a flexible
rational agent that perceives its environment
and takes actions that maximize its chance of
success at some goal. Colloquially, the
term "artificial intelligence" is applied when a
machine mimics "cognitive" functions that
humans associate with other human minds,
such as "learning" and "problem solving". "

[i]Software agents: [/i]I will not like to discuss this now but later in the post because it has to be implicitly discussed.

Oh! Sorry for deviating a little bit. Let's go back to the theme of the thread [i]"Let's Build 2016 By Microsoft" and fully unveil the hidden technological products as we explore them sequentially.

I could remember back then in secondary school when a teacher gave us an assignment array 20 business organizations in Nigeria, I had already listed 19 but didn't know what to write again then the inspiration just came and I remember church "the most successful business in the country".

Rich pastors....

Heaven is no more in the sky but now on earth.

Heaven on earth!

Mafizo:
pls keep ur atheism to urself. don't come and corrupt young Christian minds that no supreme being exists
stop recruiting people to ur atheist belief

We are not recruiting anybody but actually trying to create a sane world by evaluating the beliefs of primitive men.

winner01:
This is a religion section, why not tell seun to change it to an atheist section.

We will leave at once and never bother you with our preaching.

How can one be uncomfortable with christians preaching in a section where people are meant to share their belief in God?

What are you doin on a religion section, do you have problems understanding simple instructions?.

It is not religion that we are fighting but the ignorance of religious men and the delusion that religion accompanied.

kevoh:
It seems you guys are not smart enough to construct one or two sensible paragraphs to make convincing arguments other than uploading memes.

Memes might be funny at times, depending on the side of the argument you are, but multiple memes at a go are immature and a perfect way to kill an honest/serious discussion with its unnecessary troll-like jeers.

But feel free to do what you want,it's a forum afterall don't just expect any serious response.

You just kill it bro!
Infact, I have determined not to reply Winners01 and KingEbukas again bcuz those guys are just too ridiculous.

Trusting in the power of memes to bring out a reasonable and convincing argument about their belief when I can actually design one.

No reasonable person will use memes to defend his/her claim unless such individual is actually trolling.

Its in the Bible naw.

The Christians knows that it is the three children of Noah together with their respective wives that populated the earth.

That is a simple answer from the Christians novel.


Am sure those writers beat Isaac Asimov when it comes to writing fiction.

Amiano:
I was 16 den, d first tym was a quick one bt after den we kissed well n got beta @ it. She was so beautiful n lovely. I still miss her

@Bolded, is she dead??

kennyman2000:
Sir, what's the name of that browser you are using?

That browser also got my attention.

Why asking atheist such a question?
Why not generalizing the whole issue to all individuals?

Such an act deals with an individual character and not centered on there belief system.

Their are atheists that doesn't even marry cuz they consider sex as an injury for their brain and personality.

I will consider such an act immoral and not a sin.

Nevertheless, if a person who fall victim of that derive pleasure in it then I consider it good once it doesn't cause any harm on the social well-being of other individuals.

We are human and we are define by our choices, happiness and our characters.

After all, they are created with freewill as your superstition claims then why won't they do what makes them happy?

If I am the intelligent designer, I will not watch my creation(creature) going astray like this but will instead fix(solve) every problem that might have occur by intelligently redesigning them and not by sending someone to go and die for them.

I can't blame those victims of such act, I blame their creator.

Any Help

dollyjuke:
Me too i wan log in buh always error abi nairaland is not working with freebasics again?....Right now am using mb....

KvnqPrezo:
Bruh same ooo
It's really stressing me I just read only comment when usinq freebasics.

You get it all wrong. The whole thing is working perfectly just that in fews days it has started to malfunction.

Don't use the official FreeBasic App to Login but instead use browsers like Mozilla, Chrome and even operamini.

You can post with it, download pictures, convert post to pdf (in Mozilla only) or by using plugins.

felixomor:
Exactly, speechless at your poorly constructed arguments, both gramatically and logically.

"Science is an atheist" you said, says who?

And its like u also know the mind of God so well, when u said "God is not happy with Galileo Galeli", please how u take know? Abeg?

Then u spoke of ur "brother being angry with you", Bros Please your brother is not the "christian standard".

Please in the future, try to add references to your claims before generalizing, by making statements such as "science is an atheist".

Such statements can end careers.
I sincerely plead with you.

What about these??

I love this man. More grease to your elbow.

felixomor:
Lol,
Wahala dey o!

Abeg, who be this?

I thought you will have something relevant to say.

This is what happen when Africans like you are speechless.

smm...

The same way I was surprised when I saw the outcome of "Let Build 2016 by Microsoft"

Those inventions are so great, accommodated and highly appreciated.

To access Wikipedia, Nairaland and WikiHow for free is an autodidacts dream.

johnydon22:
I'm loving this new HCpaul, i'm wondering if getting free from religious and superstitious mumbo jumbo makes someone a bit smarter?

You still haven't replied my question bro, whats with the new atheistic stance?

Will definitely message you on that bro.
Just waiting for some materials so dat I can collect some intellectual resources from you.

Thanks bro!

felixomor:
Please go study history. Most scientific discoveries were made by religious people who believed in God. Dont make it look like both are on opposite sides of the table.

What an ignoramus homo sapient, a vacuous and ignominious hoity-toity. Inane and injudicious claim calibrated with a deadpan and ludicrous assertion.

I will advice you to go and study the philosophy of science and come back to decelerate your irregular and expressionless assertions.

According to science, a belief in a supernatural being is a personal issue and not a scientific approach.
I saw one of Winners01 post arraying enormous names of Christian scientists.

So you people think that your God is happy with Galileo Galilei who is an astronomer? And you are surkm that the guy is a real Christian? Confused Christians...

if you are not ignorant of the Book you are carrying, you will realize that the day you start looking up to the sky and putting the cosmic into imagination, you have just create for yourself barricades that will eternally disqualify you from been a Christian.
Science itself is an atheist while scientific theories are formulated atheism based.
A real pastor will always pray that some limitations should emerge in science.
One of my brother who is a seminarian wasn't happy when I told him that NASA will soon be launching people to Mars in some years to come as well as citing in his head the curiosity mars rover used for the exploration of living organisms on mars.
My brother face changed and he was unhappy for a moment. Knowing their chances of progress, my brother said "If they succeed, it is God; If they didn't, it is still God."
As a science student, I was able to identify the misconception of proposition and how a condition cannot be true and false at the same time, then I realized what religion has done to Africa. They are not just happy for scientific achievements while their pastors will keep preaching the limitations of science on the alter just to deceive the multitudes.

If not for scientific fields like philosophy and its subset (theology), did you think that religion like (Christianity) will still stand?

That a person have not declaim himself as an atheist doesn't imply that he is a Christian, and that a person make quotations on religions doesn't disqualify him for been an atheist.
Winners01 is a typical example of such person who keep making this silly mistake.

Sometimes, I do make quotes that seems to favour religionists but that doesn't qualify me as a Christian.

No scientists will spend 30 minutes in praying not to talk of hours, spending hours in reading the Bible (a single book) everyday till they eventually depart from the land of the living, Paying tithes and offerings when they have scientific projects to spend their money on, joining a service unit (drama, choir, instrumentalist, ushers) when they know within themselves that they just don't have the time, and to crown it all, going to church everyday (endlessly) just to consume their time spent on knowledge exploration.

How can people be spending their hours in church everyday and be expecting changes in the country??
Praying for blessing and expecting to be richer than Bill??
Just don't get it.

Those folks ain't Christian at all but an untitled freethinkers who are still incarcerated by the philosophy of religion and not its delusion.

Science can only be approached as an atheist.

We don't see a rainbow and start praising God like that my brother without knowing and not ready to know the conditions attached to such occurence.
We instead discovers the whys and the hows behind it.

I love Gate sha when he utterly declared that he often goes to church since he has a lot to do on a Sunday morning and he's busy on his allocation on time resources.
Yet, the guy have never declare himself as an atheist but is he a Christian based on the above statement?

Sincere answer please.

I just love this.

I love it when religious fanatics are trying to associate science with religion. All the rapid and progressive development achieved in science are part of evolution itself.
But did you know that Science is a superset of religion while religion is just an aspect of philosophy.

If you are not ignorant of what scientific theories entails, you will realize that beliefs and other religious theories are discarded.
You can't be a science genius and retain the standard of a real Christian. Science and Religion are two different things.

Africans are the only setback that the world has.
The whites presented us Education, Religion, Civilization, Science and Technology, but among all these, Nigerians only anticipated Religion so as to easily hide their ignorance and assumptions.
Everything about Africans have been lame, irrational and apparently not worthy of emulation.

Bro! We don't create value for our lives when we don't know and we are not ready to know.

We are the most religious but still unable to control our economy. What a religious jugi - jugi.

KingEbukaNaija:
God is eternal and infinite , this means that asking for his source of existence is an illogical question .

Ok o. But allocating a source for the existence of man is logical? let's stop deceiving ourselves and let's start facing reality. The survival of human race solely depends on the success of science. Ever since I was born into this earth, man have always been the administrator of their own world without any alien support.
