You have been warned. You will not say on that day you weren't told

Oga you n your god should park one side or better still waka go hell

ogolemati:
I don't want them to ban me,ok you are angry at what the op did .and the op should be happy with your reasoning. Stay your lane oga no body cares about what your thoughts pattern are keep them to yourself

Right. So you are not keeping your thoughts to yourself but you want others to keep theirs to themselves? Typical Christian tactics to subjugate others
Keep your thought pattern to yourself too

ogolemati:
you lack wisdom,what is your business if the doctors give thanks to God.ist your thanks stay one side na .Cho Cho every time

My business here is the op is attributing the success of the op to a god,which is a lie. Of course Christians love lies so I'm not surprised

SIRTee15:
Quran is known to cover details about embryology and fetal development. It confirms the process starts with a drop of semen becoming a lump (zygote) multiple times.

He created you (all) from a single Person: then created, of like nature, his mate; and he sent down for you eight head of cattle in pairs: He makes you, in the wombs of your mothers, in stages, one after another, in three veils of darkness. such is Allah, your Lord and Cherisher: to Him belongs (all) dominion. There is no god but He: then how are ye turned away (from your true Centre)?
Qur'an 39:6

O mankind! if ye have a doubt about the Resurrection, (consider) that We created you out of dust, then out of sperm, then out of a leech-like clot (alaqah), then out of a morsel of flesh (mudghah), partly formed and partly unformed, in order that We may manifest (our power) to you; and We cause whom We will to rest in the wombs for an appointed term, then do We bring you out as babes, then (foster you) that ye may reach your age of full strength; and some of you are called to die, and some are sent back to the feeblest old age, so that they know nothing after having known (much). And (further), thou seest the earth barren and lifeless, but when We pour down rain on it, it is stirred (to life), it swells, and it puts forth every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs).
Qur'an 22:5

Then We made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood (alaqah: clot of blood or leech) ; then of that clot We made a (foetus) lump (mudghah: chewed like substance/piece of meat); then we made out of that lump bones and clothed the bones with flesh; then we developed out of it another creature. So blessed be Allah, the best to create!
Qur'an 23:14


But what is alarmingly missing in the Quranic embryology lecture is the absence of the female egg called ovum. Quran never mentioned the ovary or the female egg in its entire embryology lecture.
This is not something that should be swept under the carpet but critically examined to know why such crucial detail is missing from a book written by an all knowing God.

A fetus is only formed when the sperm unites with the ovum- that is the beginning of Life and fetal formation. The sperm alone cannot achieve it. The koran assumes the only sperm initiates Life and begins the process of fetal development, this is definitely wrong.

This throws up the question does the author of the Quran has serious knowledge gap? Is he actually omniscient as Muslims claim.

Maybe the answer is not as difficult as we think. In the 7th century ancient world when the Quran was written, nobody knew anything about the ovary or ovum. Ancient physicians believe the sperm from the man is the only thing needed to form a fetus. The womb is only considered an incubator. They knew nothing about the female egg.

Maybe the author of the Quran didn't know because people around him didn't know too. Quran after all is simply a reflection of the obvious knowledge gap around it.

N.B- I do not consider this a reason to believe Islam a false religion, it only shows the author of the Quran is not all knowing.

I'm not a muslim,which you know. And I'm not an apologist.
The bible contains many scientific and historical errors so why are you picking on Islam when your own religion is a cesspit of confusion and misinformation
The bible talks about a global flood but there is no scientific evidence of it.
It says sun and moon stood still. No evidence
Says people resurrected en masse when Jesus died. No evidence
Leviticus 11:19 lists bats among birds ("flying creeping things", which conflicts with modern biological classification as mammals.Ruminant Designation for Hares and Conies: Leviticus 11:5–6 states that hares and rock badgers "chew the cud" but do not have divided hooves, though they are not actually ruminants.Four-Legged Insects: Leviticus 11:20–23 refers to flying insects that walk on all fours, ignoring the six-legged anatomy characteristic of insects (though some interpretations suggest a distinction for walking versus hopping limbs).
I can go on and on but I'm tired

triplechoice:
Africa is not hopeless. You're just seeing it through a colonial lens. There are Europeans and Americans who believe in witchcraft, in fiat earth and alien abductions. Does that make all of them hopeless. No. So why apply a different standard to Africa?

We have a higher percentage of cretards than those countries or regions

Who made all this things available and workable and learnable ?

Who made what possible? Neurosurgery? That is science. And please keep your idea that it was your god in your pocket. So your god created science which turns around to deny his existence? So your god created medical science and still his own people the Christians still have to pay good money to access this medical science? Tell me,which one is easier, telling a sick person to go to a hospital, book an appointment AND PAY HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY RUNNING TO MILLIONS, wait for us the doctors to turn up,arrange the theater and book the anesthetists and other professionals, get the gas ready,put the patient under anesthesia(which might kill the patient) and finally cut through the brain(which might end up making the patient blind,unable to walk or even dead) OR healing someone outright and instantly? I hope you know neurosurgical interventions are 50-50. We give you a form to sign preoperatively that you are responsible for anything that happens to you and that we are exonerated from any blames or lawsuits.
When I say u christians are something else,I get called out

TenQ:
I am a good example
My late uncle who was blind is another


We tell God about EVERYTHING!
The good , the bad and the ugly!!


It is neither God's duty to fix Nigeria
NOR
His duty to fix Nigerian hospitals.

We reap only what we have sown!

Do you cleanup your teenage children's room for them or you tell them to clean it up?



Agreed sight not perfect BUT they aren't blind!
That was why I used the cinematic camera as an example



But there was a time when there was no life but atoms amd molecules isn't it.

This is the frontier I wanted you to push towards.

1.You're an example of a miracle? How?
What about your blind late uncle? Telling me nebulous stories like this doesnt make sense. How are they miraculous?

2.You are misunderstanding me. The bible says we should pray for anything. ASK AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN TO YOU. THERE WERE NO TERMS AND CONDITIONS ATTACHED

3. Good. So its not God's duty to fix Nigeria. Lol 😆
So tell me who made this statement
◄ 2 Chronicles 7:14 ►
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

And also why do pastors and every Christian pray for Nigeria? I know you do pray for Nigeria.So are you saying you're wasting time since its not your God's problem? Lol 😆

4.If u noticed I used quotes in the word blind meaning its not completely blind. We see with our brains not eyes. If the eyes are okay but the brain isnt,then sight wont be complete

5. Tbh,no scientist knows what happened before big bang. All we have are speculations. But big bang itself can be proven

ogolemati:
ok why should you live and reason , what's the benefits

Is your god the reason I'm alive? No! Again,why should I give thanks
If you say he's the reason I'm alive then how come prayerful countries like Nigeria have the lowest life expectancy? Least Christian countries like Japan etc have higher life expectancy. So your god ignores those that pray to him and answers the prayers of those that ignore him? Make una dey think

RollinTNDA:
Number 2 is actually the poorest

Numbers 1,3,4 are richer than number 2

Slave mentality will not allow us see that even the richest white man does not move with a naked hand. Impossible

Yes they don't bling bling
But they always keep a reminder on their hands like a very expensive simple real gold ring or a simple patek watch
The patek watch will look like your grandma watch until you check price and see 2 millon

They keep it simple
Bill gates can wear boxers with singlet but his wrist must contain an extensive gold or watch

The 5 richest men in the world dont even have any rings in their fingers

TenQ:
Yes, because God heals!
But we know that God doesn't stop all deaths!




Mortality is high because God intended us to use herbs and technology for solving our problems and not just prayers!
AND
Nigeria is not only technically backward, it is corrupt!

Thus, we are reaping exactly what we have planted.




No, babies are not born blind. Healthy newborns can see at birth, but their vision is very blurry, limited in range, and mostly in black, white, and shades of gray.

The point is that the eyes and the brain seem to have EVERYTHING it needs for proper sight irrespective of if the eyes "mature" through use or not.

I think the babies eyes is like giving a Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K cinematic camera to a novice: the production would be disappointing!


You are not getting my point!

Evolution and big bang are not usually discussed in the same sentence. Evolution is discussed only AFTER the basic elementary DNA/RNA is set.

The theory of evolution traces life back to a last universal common ancestor with DNA/RNA-based genetics, a genetic code, ribosomes, and core metabolism that lived roughly about 2-4 billion years ago.

The theory assumes that the genetic codes continued to increase in size and complexity.

Atoms are the basic building block of everything. When did they combine enough with the right pattern to contain the right information we now call DNA/RNA/gene?


Every Useful Information must have these Five Parts
1. Information source : where the message originates.
2. An encoding of the message into some representational form,
3. A medium/platform to store or transmit that form,
4. A decoding mechanism that can reconstruct meaning, and
5. A target that can interpret and act on that meaning.

These definitely are not present in basic atoms or molecules however complex.
It is worse when you take it up to when no atom or molecule existed (just at big bang)







So, my question again:
How far can we project evolution?
Can we push it up to the atoms that make up molecules or to the big bang?

WHY?: It seems information written continuously continued to grow till the full DNA as we know it have grown.

1. Give me instances of those healings your god did
2. Yet same god says in the bible that WE SHOULD PRAY FOR ANYTHING
So despite all the prayers,Yhwh cannot fix Nigeria
Also you said your prayers work,yet hopsitals in Nigeria witness many deaths after operations where prayers are offered but advanced countries where surgeons rarely pray before ops have better outcomes. Make it make sense
3. Copying stuff from Google or chatgpt doesnt take the place of professionals. Read what I typed. I explained how their sight works. Their sights are not complete like when they are 3 or 4 months
And I wonder why you asked this question in the first place
4. Evolution simply talks about how humans change. It doesnt talk about atoms
There are many instances of evolution which happens in humans and animals
Example is our ppendix,tails,wisdom tooth etc. Those organs evolved

ogmask:
Your hatred for Trump has blinded you to the point where you can no longer function as a rational human being. This is exactly what happened when Barack Obama did the same thing to Fox News. CNN, CBS, and others threatened to boycott the White House. So this is nothing new, and you shouldn't act as if no other president has ever done it. Btw,, Biden removed more journalists from the White House than Obama and Trump combined.

When did Obama threaten the press and when did Biden remove journalists

StoryHaven:
Continued...

When the white man and his wife asked me when I would move in, I told them it would be after I come back from Dakar the next week, but I would bring my bags in few days. So, I went back to the Beach to stay for the night to travel the next day. An artist friend I met on my journey from Cotonou had told me on phone that there were some places in Dakar he would like to show me for sales. Dakar from the village I was takes two days journey. (I dont want to mention the name of the village because it is a very small place and anyone from there could come across this story and instantly know it's me) I wouldn't want to expose the evil woman because of her daughter, it would be a shame. The lady is a lovely soul. I've never seen a stranger so nice, and loving.

So, I went back to sleep at the beach. At my friend's shop. That night in the middle of the night at the spot I place my head, there was a strange cry of a strange animal or bird. I jumped up and started speaking in tongues. I cursed it. And the noise instantly stopped. I prayed and slept. I did not think it was from anyone. I suspected no one. I just thought it was one of those roaming demons. They can attack anyone.
The next day, I took my bags to the compound. In the compound were two buildings. A bungalow and a storey building. I had thought I would be given a room in the bungalow because that was where everyone in the compound stays. The storey building was built in such a way that it looked like it was not meant for living. May be for a factory or something. It has been plastered, roofed but no ceiling yet. So I climbed the stairs. Well tiled, with a small room that could serve as a small office and a very big hall and we'll furnished toilet and bathroom. Tiled from the base to the top.
I dropped my bags in the big hall and told the woman I am travelling to Dakar for business. She doesn't speak English. No one does except the white man. But I have managed to grab a few French from Cotonou and that's what I use (the type you can call wuruwuru to the answer)
So, I left for Dakar. I spent almost a week and I was back.
Before I arrived, Oyinbo and wife had prepared the small office-like room, put a small bed there put a wall fan there fixed the wire cable and it was as good as a small hotel-room.
That means I would be the only one sleeping in the whole upstairs. I loved the arrangement because I won't have anything to do with the other people in the compound than greetings and a few chats.

AND THE WAR STARTS..

I went downstairs to greet the woman and the laddies. In the compound there were like six to seven ladies per time. All living with the woman. They are her nieces.
As the in-law of Oyinbo, with a beautiful compound and constant stipends from her daughter's husband, she's seen as well to do and she has the money to take care of everyone staying with her.
Apart from the houses the white man built for her, he set her up in poultry business. The ground floor of the storey building is used for rearing chickens, and the big hall upstairs is meant for processing of the chicken. It has two big sinks with running water and three giant deep Freezers. (Why I mentioned all these is because they are involved and useful in the coming narration)

So, My first night in the compound. I prayed as usual.
My parents of blessed memories were serious Christians who brought us up to love God and trust only in him. Seeking spiritual power elsewhere beside from Jehovah in my family is a taboo. We grew up praying everyday, at 6am and 9pm every day. We never missed it. So, it has become a part of all of us the children.
So, I prayed the normal night prayer. browsed and slept. Normally, I sleep late. Apart from being an artist, I write songs, poems and love fiddling with music production apps, like NTrack, Voloco, Bandlab, etc. I have some gospel songs on all platforms Spotify, Apple Music, YouTub etc. Telling you my artist name will expose me
And everyone I have bantered on Nairaland would have more arsenal to banter me I am a lovely trouble maker.

That was by the way.
I usually sleep after 1am, 2am even 3am a times.
So, I was still on my phone around 11.30 when suddenly a very big bird landed on the rooftop. I knew the size by the landing force. The next thing was banging with it's beak or something, "gban gban, gban," the banging went on for like ten minutes and it stopped. I prayed quietly and continued music production. Everywhere was quiet until around 3am. Another heavy landing and another round of banging. After a while it stopped.
Then, I went to sleep.

In the morning, I went downstairs to greet everyone. The ladies were so nice, so friendly. The woman greeted me with all smiles, asking if I slept well. I said yes.
Of course, I did.

SEE GUYS, I AM NOT SCARED OF EVIL FORCES. I HAVE GROWN IN FAITH TO THE POINT THAT A DEMON OR WITCH APPEARING PHYSICALLY DOESNT MOVE ME. THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN IS DEATH. AND THAT IS IF MY GOD PERMITS IT. AND IF HE DOES, NO SHAKING. BY HIS GRACE HEAVEN IS SURE.

So, I bathed and went out on business. Usually to the beach.
Thats where the tourist are. There are lots of shops at the beach, Beer palours, Restaurants, Craft shops, Dance groups, etc. And already everyone knew me and liked me. Im a loveable guy.

Guys, it will get to a point you would think I made up some part of this narration. I dont have to. I would gaing nothing doing that. In fact, I am tired of typing at this point. But I have made up my mind to tell the story till the end of it. Many things happened that would make you question the authenticity of my story.

So, in the evening I returned to the compound. I ate out all the time. In the morning I tried to make tea or coffee. The national breakfast in Senegal is Cofee and Bread. I said "national" because that is what everyone eats, old and young.
You remember I mentioned poor hygiene?
I am very careful about food eating in Senegal. Their breads are not in nylon, and flies are everywhere. I mean green flies, the type you'll see in a latrine.
The people don't care about flies. They hold their food and four five flies are on it and they don't scare the flies away. And funny enough, they dont have cholera.
In fact, at a teashop, I told the guy not to allow flies on my bread. I kept chasing the flies away from the bread he placed on the table while he was trying to put potatoe and mayonnaise. The guy replied me with, "If you dont want flies on your food go to Europe. This is Africa,"
I gave up

So, because of this I went to the landlady for hot water and she told me to come back, for it. I went back to collect the water and made coffee. I did this for like three days and I started feeling bad that Im disturbing her, so I went out and bought an electric cup. I will post the photo of the cup. Im still having it.
So, I brought it home.
You know I live free of charge courtesy the white man. He took care of light bills and every bills in the compound. The man is a millionaire. He even built a standard school for the village and did many other things.
So, I used the cup to boil water and stopped going to the woman. I did not know how to go and tell her I bought the cup, not knowing what her reaction would be.
The perching of the big birds continued daily between 11pm and 12am and then around 3am. Every day.
Senegal is a country with 24hours power. If power goes off, within ten minutes it is back.
But one thing I've discovered is that every evening around 11pm, all lights in the compound must be off. Including security lights and lights in every room. In fact, the woman sent the ladies or any of the three children to come upstairs and off all lights.

It remains the iight in my room alone. But there was something I used to do. There was a bulb in front of my door. Once the children left, I went back to on it.
IF THEY LOVE DARKNESS. I DON'T.
But that shows that I am disobeying my landlady's orders.

The third day of using electric cup, I came back in the evening meeting my door left opened. I stood by the door confused, "I locked this door in the morning. What happened?"
Then, I entered and saw the electric cup I put under the bed by the bed side. Then, her grandson John entered, he looked at the cup and smiled. That showed me there must have been some talk on the cup. The perdon who opened my door did because of the cup. I kukuma took the cup and went downstairs. I got to her, and showed it to her, "madam, I bought this cup three days ago because coming to you for hot water every morning is not proper. But I was thinking on how to come and inform you," She smiled and said, "Its not a problem," So, I went back.

That night, after locking the main entrance door upstairs, I prepared to sleep. I heard footsteps by my door the moment I stood up to lock my door. It was a fast walk like someone running off the door thinking I was about to open the door. Remember I have locked the main door, so I am supposed to be only one upstairs.

I opened my window to look at the compound and I saw, that as usual all lights were off. The compound was in total darkness as always. I shook my head and I was about to lay on the bed when in the hall upstairs there was a smashing of a big metal tray. It was the food tray. (Senegalese eat in groups. They can be up to 9 or ten atimes) So, it was one of the big trays that was smashed on the floor. I did not go out until I needed to urinate. When I opened my door, to my surprise, the tray was at the center of the hall. The main door remained locked and no one in the hall. I checked every corner, smiled and went to urinate.

I entered my room and slept.

Several times I ate in dreams. That one no be new thing. If eating in dreams dey kill Christians I suppose to have died teytey. What I always told the food provider is, to never bring useless foods to me. Garnish it with better meat, turkey, chicken etc. If I must to eat free food, it should be well prepared.

That incident of tray smashing went and I did not tell anyone except a friend who doesn't live in Senegal and my brother in Nigeria.

The woman will laugh with me and ask how Im feeling all the time.

One day, I was home and left to go and eat in the restaurant as usual, she met me in the compound and asked, "Are you going to the beach?" I said No. Im going to the restaurant to eat. She said, anytime you are home you must eat lunch with us. And I replied "okay"
(It is a normal thing in Gambia and Senegal. If you live in a compound, you must eat lunch with the people if you don't want them to think you are a bad person.)
So, I understand her. And I agreed.

To be continued..
PHYSICAL ATTACK

So birds perching on rooftops at night is spiritual attack?
Whoever thought education would help Africa is wrong. We are just hopeless

MightySparrow:
Without the nigerian Christians, Saudi would be useless. Those days and even now, Nigerian doctors, nurses, other professionals troupe to these places because of bad economy by Muslim born - to - ruin military juntas. Even now, can you see what your Muslim brothers have turned Nigeria to? Can you compare the era of Jonathan and Matthew Obasanjo to what we had before or after? Even in the dark days of Buhari, the spell that Oshibajo did was different.
Islam ruined Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Sudan, Afghanistan, great peoples, great countries.

After WWII, Mustapha Kemal Artaturk refused to join league of Islamic nations and opted for Europe. Turkey today is different from other Islamic nations in development by their own citizens.

They refused unreasonable Islamic dogmas.

Go and get sense.
Al-quran is a text of destruction.

Pray tell,how did Christians or Christianity grow Saudi Arabia? Would like to know

ScarletBrace:
You’ve been a physician for 20 years and yet haven’t confronted realities that point to the fact that what sustains life within a person aren’t 100% physical?


Abeg trash that 20 years experience for waste bin.


Atheist fire.

So prove me wrong,sir. Show me the realities that there are other non physical entities. I'm waiting...

MightySparrow:
Good. I like to learn. Israel produced the most of Nobel Prizes in all fields 🏆then Christian world.
Just give me ten Muslim Nobel winners most especially in science. No, give in any field.


When it comes to maiming, beheading, stoning, banditry, Islam and Muslims are matchless.

I want you to know that huthis are marching on Saudi to capture the ka'aba.. The house of Allah being guarded by American soldiers.

Before you start foaming from your mouth,I'm not a muslim just an atheist that hates poorly knowledgeable Christians

Greenfusion:
God is not a respecter of anyone, he says i would bless who i say i would bless, he would show mercy to whomever he pleases...with or without prayer......Whether people die after prayers doesn't change who God is......HE IS.....whether u choose to believe or not.

Good. So if your god works wonders with or without prayers,why does he encourage you guys to pray to him?

themanderon:
Only a fool says in his heart there is no God.
With all the evidence that abounds around you everyday you still continue to live a lie? I pray the Lord has mercy on you so you can see the reality of his existence.

...and the wise man shouts out that there is no god.
So which evidence of your god are we talking about here

Iseddy:
Mr. Atheist can you create life? Can you raise the dead? Don't worry when you encounter the holy spirit you'll understand that truly there's a supreme being called God.

Yes I can create life with my sperm. I can raise the dead to an extent through my training as a doctor. Now show me proof your sky daddy can do any of those,Mr.Christian and please dont tell me its your god that created medical science cos that lie don cast. Doesn't work again. Think up of more reasonable lies

rightminds:
The truth is that, those who have been atheist centuries before you have died and gone but the God they rejected is still here and will forever be. God yesterday, today and forever more! When you cross to the other side, the reality will be done on you but it will be too late to regret.

If i ask you how you know, your god exists and proof of 'the other side',all I'll hear is nonsense

TenQ:
Everyone must die through one means or the other.

BUT THEN
Who told you that it is God's job to prevent people from dying?
Except by mercy, when its your time, you go: prayer or no prayer.


By the way, using your own argument:
Why are there daily mortalities in the most advanced hospitals in UK, USA. Germany, France, NZ and China?







As a digression, I have a question!
I saw a video of a newborn baby. He came out with eyes opened and looking about the delivery ward (the lights seem too bright for it).

Then I wondered:
How did the eyes got prepared in 9 months for what wasn't needed in the womb (sight) but needed outside.


So, my question :
How far can we project evolution?
Is it up to the atoms that make up molecules or to the big bang?

WHY?: It seems information written continuously continued to grow till the full DNA as we know it have grown.

So you have twisted the narration to Yhwh doesnt keep from dying? Don't you christians disturb us with 'testimonies' how your god saved your asses from death? Why turn it around now?

The mortality rates in Nigeria is far higher than those countries you listed,in every age group both under 5,maternal,fetal and geriatric mortalities. Dont even go there
Even the life expectancy of Nigeria is low compared to them. We have life expectancy of 54 years while they have up to 90 years.
So park well with your useless prayers

The human eye cannot comprehend visual impulses. Meaning that the brain isnt specialized enough to interprete visual cues even though the baby is 'seeing'. So in all intents and purposes, they are blind. There are many organs that start growing in the womb but are still 'useless' at birth like genitals etc. In fact the brain keeps on growing after birth to accommodate more visual cues
About evolution, its quite predictable up to a point. We cant 100% predict it
And evolution has nothing to do with big bang. I dont know what is your christians problem. Simply research basic concepts before engaging on them

kwubisjubis:
I have come to the realisation that to know who God really is, you need to be well educated, well traveled and have some experiences beyond your local environment. The case of Artemis 11 comes to mind. For those that attribute their successes to their abilities have really not gone beyond their localities.

And I pity them.🥹🥹

What about Artemis

eagleonearth:
Hello sir J, if not that being a born again child of God is a miracle that only God can work, I would have been surprised that any physician is not a child of God! Honestly I did not pay attention to life and how it worked as a teenager and even in my early years of adulthood. This is the reason I smoked like I was on an assignment to fry my lungs and brain. I drank like I had an approved proposal to melt my kidneys! I ate junks and was damaging a complex machine like the human body. However, I learnt early in life as a teenager to drink a lot of water especially first thing every morning. I guess that toned down the damaging effect of this harmful substances I kept ingesting. Smoking later dealt me a heavy blow in my campus days and I nearly died one night in my lodge when I found it hard to inhale after exhaling. I struggled to breathe!! I quickly made God a hasty promise to stop smoking if only he could allow me see the next morning. Of course he answered that prayer in the affirmative and that is why I'm here. I later broke that vow and smoked again! It may interest you to know that I was asthmatic growing up (my dad called it Bronchitis) and whenever I entered crisis period, I skipped school as a primary/basic pupil. In crisis period, I struggled to breathe all day and someone poles apart could hear the wheezing sound of my partially blocked airways. It was hell. I was banned from eating delicacies my siblings enjoyed like fried plantain, buns, etc. My dad spent thru his nose to get me healed even seeking the services of eminent physicians. I had a lunch bag of bitter pills and was given countless injections! The illness was adamant till I got miraculously healed by God. You know at some point I discarded my pills bag because some of those pills were so bitter and nauseating yet gave me no relief. I am sorry to bore you with a piece of my life sir J but I felt it necessary to do. Fast-forward to today after like 3 decades, I now have the healthiest life any man can have as I am no longer involved in smoking and heavy/binge-drinking. I now feed well and exercise to appreciate God for the good health he has restored to me. I take good care of my body now. When, as a layman, I think about the complexity of the human body: the neurones, the six senses, electric signals to cns/brain, the oxygenated blood carrying blood vessels, blood flow, marrows in the bone, every organ and cell on autopilot! the heart that has been beating for almost my 4 decades on earth (approximately 1.7 billion heartbeats so far), the memory that makes me remember events that took place when I was less than 10yrs and many others, I simply fall down flat on my face in my bedroom to worship this great Artist that made the human life possible! I research a lot and the more I research the more I appreciate this great Artist. Man is a masterpiece and life is a mystery. No wonder David screamed that he was fearfully and wonderfully made in psalm 139 vs 14. Those who are quick to claim lives cannot even manufacture a crayon! Devastating! So as an atheist sir, who do you think made this wonderful universe and the masterpiece called man? I mean, you physicians should be at the frontiers of appreciation to the great God. Those Christian team of surgeons were simply allowing God be God in the midst of a great task that can come out 50/50. Praises and appreciation to the great God who is the OEM should never cease. A great and unforgettable neurosurgeon like Benjamin Solomon Carson appreciates this great Artist and has pledged allegiance to Him forever, he even openly professed God's guidance in all feats he achieved as a neurosurgeon. Every physician should follow suit. My simple prayer for you is that this great God enables you to see who is behind this great work of art!

Shalom!

A painstakingly long read
So u had chronic bronchitis with asthma which resolved spontaneously even though you had been on meds? Do you know the amount of people that had spontaneous healing DESPITE NOT PRAYING TO ANY GOD?
Also about creation,we doctors know the amount of errors in the human body. Are you awsre your body is constantly making errors daily and these errors culminate in cancers?
Ok,let's talk about human design. Are you aware we are so poorly designed? Our food enters the same passage as air and any mistake can result in instant death,and millions have choked to death. Also the birth canal(vagina) is near to the anus. If u witness any birth,u will see many babies covered with poo. Your mom prolly pooped on you as he gave birth. Also some organs in the body are useless and cause problems for us,example is appendix.
Now let's talk about the earth. This piece of rock is mostly water,but only a tiny fraction is fit to drink. Natural disasters are happening daily.
I can go on but I'm not long winded like you
Long and short, the body is not a wonderful piece,neither is the earth wonderful.

Image123:
Music has an important connection with brain surgery, especially surgery involving areas responsible for language, movement, memory, and hearing.
It's possible for doctors to use it, it's not necessarily what you're thinking except it's stated.

There's no connection. Talk another lie

I just sent you a mail...

Unfortunately I can't access your email

TenQ:
It is understandable as an Atheist: gratefulness for divine help received may be alien to you.

Those who tap their emotional and spiritual support from above are grateful to their support and give thanks.

For you, lets even assume that God helped you in a particular surgery, you wouldn't see it as that. You will see it from the point of view central upon WHAT YOU DID CORRECTLY!

So with all you have said,why is morbidity and mortality higher in Nigeria, a prayerful country than less prayerful countries like UK,US,NZ etc?
I thought u r smart TenQ but then you're a Christian....

Dalohad:
I am a Medical scientist and there are certain things in medical science that actually confirm the existence of God and strengtens one's faith in God.

The universe is too organised and ordered that it cannot be without a divine existential organiser- God.

~ Dalohad

What did you see in medical science that confirm your god? I'm waiting

Typing:
You are a Muslim. Nothing wey you fit tell me. Claiming to be a physician just to proof a point on a faceless forum, don't make you right.

If u have read any of my posts and topics,u wont have made this kinda comment but then you're a Christian, critical thinking isnt your forte

NairaMaster1:
That's your business Mr atheist. Congratulations to you.

Follow your atheism.

Yeah,i have been following my atheism and have low morbidity and mortality, slightly better than my Christian colleagues
Think about this....in many advanced countries, they dont pray pre-op but have better patient outcome than Nigeria where most ops come with prayers.Can you answer why
