Jokers. As long as man has soul and spirit, he will continue to look for God or gods, like he continues to breathe oxygen.
Any evidence of the bolded?
By the way, just so you know, religion is gradually dying off. A simple research would help you. The atheist populations are ever increasing worldwide . Even religious strongholds are accepting scientific theories like evolution, Big Bang etc

Focus on the point.

That video talks about conception to birth as MIRACLES, DIVINITY and beyond any Human comprehension.

Is that how evolution works?
The video didn’t say conception to birth is a miracle. It just explains about the complexity involved in it. And to add to what the video says, this complex process can easily go wrong and give rise to a lot of aberrations from organ ageneses to fatalities. And who says humans don't understand the process of fetal formation? Ever heard of embryology? I studied it for 3 semesters back in school. Agreed there are some few things we don't understand (which will be understood as time goes on), we know what goes on there. I hope you know in-vitro fertilization and assisted fertility all comes from the knowledge we gathered from embryology. That's how babies can be formed even outside the womb by science. So if its a miracle how come babies can be formed by combining just one egg and sperm OUTSIDE THE WOMB IN AN IN-VITRO SETTINGS! Even science can form babies without sperm or egg but such research has been shut down due to ethical issues involved about creating humans that are stronger than the average.
See bro, if you don't understand stuff, simply ask questions

So there's Miracles and Divinity in evolution, isn't that wonderful? cheesy grin cheesy cheesy
Bro, the video was talking about the complexity of the human body. Evolution talks about how the complexity came about from more simpler organisms.
Again point me to where the video insinuates or hints that evolution is a lie. Please don't run

Well, the purpose of that video is that evolution is a lie.
Huh? shocked
Dafuq!
That video incorporated embrology and genetics, which take their knowledge from evolution. Wtf are you smoking?
What in the video points to evolution being a lie? shocked

Lol 😂 evolution na science myth and old wife's tales. How their father take know wetin happen millions of years ago.

He said something about DNA and I asked him how the DNA got there and who or what coded it, his brain went blank.
Whose father?
I answered your question. Just in case you have comprehension issues, the origin of DNA is debatable. So I'd say I don't know till more knowledge about it comes forth

You tell me how it's right. One point against evolution is the lack of transitional fossils. If evolution were true, there should be an abundance of fossils showing the gradual evolution of one species into another. However, there are very few fossils that could be considered true transitional forms. Instead, there are many "gaps" in the fossil record where there should be transitional forms, but none have been found. Another point against evolution is the Cambrian Explosion, when a large number of complex animals suddenly appeared in the fossil record without any simpler predecessors.
At last, someone with scientific knowledge I can engage with.
Transitional fossils exist very much. Take for instance the hominid Australopithecus afarensis, which represents an evolutionary transition between modern bipedal humans and their quadrupedal ape ancestors. A number of traits of the A. afarensis skeleton strongly reflect bipedalism
You can read up more on those fossils here where Darwin(as far back as then) documented them


https://darwin200.christs.cam.ac.uk/transitional-fossils#:~:text=This%20transition%20is%20documented%20by,was%20also%2018meters%20long!).

Now the Cambrian Explosion! The “Cambrian Explosion” refers to the appearance in the fossil record of most major animal body plans about 543 million years ago. The new fossils appear in an interval of 20 million years or less. On evolutionary time scales, 20 million years is a rapid burst that appears to be inconsistent with the gradual pace of evolutionary change. However, rapid changes like this appear at other times in the fossil record, often following times of major extinction. The Cambrian Explosion does present a number of interesting and important research questions. It does not, however, challenge the fundamental correctness of the central thesis of evolution. The animals of the Cambrian did not appear out of thin air. Animal fossils from before the Cambrian have been found. Roughly 575 million years ago, a strange group of animals known as Ediacarans lived in the oceans. Although, we don’t know much about the Ediacarans, the group may have included ancestors of the lineages that we identify from the Cambrian explosion.

Who's teachings has been undergoing Modification from time to time that even scientists including evolutionists could not even agree on the basis of his 'teachings'
Bro, many scientists laws have undergone several revisions over time. And if Darwin's views undergo such, its not a crime. Its how science works. Everything, every law is scrutinized. Unlike religion where scrutiny or questions isn't allowed

1. Christian kor? Ifa nii

2. If evolution is a scientific fact? Did they use the scientific approach?

3. Who proved him wrong? You think say human eye na toy gun grin grin grin

Even Alfred Wallace later gave credit to the intelligent 'mind'. Tell me I'm lying
1. His religion is captured in a screenshot below
2. This is the last time I'm gonna answer this question. Maybe I'll use caps locks to make it sink into your thick brain.
EVOLUTION IS A SCIENTIFIC FACT AND HAS BEEN BACKED BY SCIENTIFIC METHODS
Henceforth if you ask me if evolution is scientific, you will only meet silence from me.
3. Other scientists proved him wrong. I wonder where you're heading with this point

This is what Wallace believed in.
He stated that something in "the unseen universe of Spirit" had interceded at least three times in history: the creation of life from inorganic matter; the introduction of consciousness in the higher animals; and the generation of the higher mental faculties in humankind. He believed that the raison d'être of the universe was the development of the human spirit.

Does this translate into an intelligent mind?
Anyway, whatever it means, his fellow scientists didn't believe it cos he couldn't prove anything

1. And the same parents regulated that growth shey
2. Your penis na accident na
3. Civilization began in Africa. First humans kor? First humans nii. Using the evidence of civilization to assume that humans started there is nonsense
1. My parents don't need to regulate my growth actively. Its all coded in my genes. So they are indirectly responsible for my growth. For example, if short stature is encoded in my DNA, I'll get to be short no matter what I do. Even if my parents are long dead, their shortness DNA would be in me and be responsible for coding proteins for growth, so my growth hormones would be short-lived
2. No, my penis aren't by accident. All came up courtesy of DNA
3. Do you have ample evidence civilization didn’t start in Africa? Please do share

The mechanism to the reproduction and fusion of gametes and growth were regulated by that tree. Yes or No? If yes, was it conscious? Subconscious or unconscious?

Note that when we use the word create, I am not using it in the sense of producing something
Yes, the tree regulated it via their DNA, unconsciously.
Please what context do u use create?

Good point
Have you studied the DNA?
Scientist called it the 'book of life' cos if contains all the information about the organism
Which of your parent created the DNA?

Now answer this
The DNA is a marvel of design or mere chance?

As any geneticist that question, they cannot Yes confidently
It is far possible to see a skyscraper in a village built by no one than to think the DNA came by itself
That's where you atheists have no wisdom
I have answered this question.
We don't know how DNAs came up.
If you do, please educate me with evidence. Thank you

Iphones can be evolved?
Do they evolve by themselves?
Yes or No?
Lemme help you outta your misery.
I said iphones can be evolved. And not iPhones evolved(even if I said the later, I'm still correct theoretically)
IPhones can be evolved because their manufacturers(who are humans) change their designs, hardware, software etc, over time. That is the evolution

Oga
You are not making sense but diverting my question
The universality and diversity of religion amd worship among humans only gives evidence that there's no God right?
Olodo
It simply shows how the human mind work. The human mind(especially the illiterate mind) fixes god into the gaps of knowledge. They fixed it when there was nil knowledge about rain, thunder etc. Now we know how all those happened, you have fixed it into the origin of humankind. If science fixes that, it would be the biggest knowledge jump ever
So no, the diversity of religion only points to ignorance

I won't derail the thread any further. We could continue our discussion about how creation came to be in another thread later.

Here's a simple fact, "the universe and everything in it are not without a mastermind".

If you had not hastily jumped on budaatum's shit, you would have seen that the bold is what I was complaining of in my thread which budaatum raised for children have no farms or businesses so why force them to learn square roots and compound interest?

Is it not adults who own farms and businesses and if they had problems with their engagements they definitely would seek out a solution to it?

That is one of the points I was making in my thread which you have just restated.

So don't leap before you look!
Does it occur to you that learning square roots can make their work easier?

Oh I wasn't even aware of the thread's topic. I was emphasizing on whether the universe and life have an intelligent creator or not.

First, the word "God" is a common noun that could be used for anybody or thing. It's not a proper noun.

There are fake and real money in Nigeria and it only takes some few test to differentiate them.
That's why it's your responsibility to search for the real God if there's.

My main bone of contention is that can any sane person randomly conclude that the universe and life could have come by chance and not designed and created by a mastermind?

It's more logical to reason that someone planned everything Mr atheism smiley
So there is a 'real god'? Interesting….
So how did u arrive at the conclusion that
1) your god is the real deal
2) he/she/they in fact created the world

That is why I asked you the question
'How then do you praise Steve jobs as the creator of the iPhone instead of the unnamed workers who actually created it by your reasoning?"

So do you see how flawed and contradictory and unstable your reasoning is?
1. We don't know their specific names.
2. Since the phones come from Apple factories, and Jobs owns Apples, then automatically he bears any praise(or accusations) for Apple
Savvy?

Who does Elon Musk pay tithes to? Or Gates? Or Buffett?" Are these about God rewarding tiithers? No.

You guys shout logic here and there but you fail woefully to apply it when it comes to questions about life and creation and the universe.

I know that the universe and everything in it today couldn't have come from anything but the handiwork of an intelligent designer. It's a simple reasoning but atheism has blocked some portion of your brain not to see that.

So whether some people believe in ifa or Sango or Thor or Allah or Yahweh, it has absolutely nothing to do with what we are discussing.
The topic said God or Yahweh exists. Now if he exists that means the other gods like Allah ,Zeus etc don't exist. So your point in bold is irrelevant
