Science has made incredible advancements in understanding the universe, yet many mysteries remain, particularly regarding the origins of life.

After several years of study, scientists have still not been able to create life from non-life in a laboratory. This ongoing exploration invites us to consider the complexities of existence and the possibility of a higher power.

Actually scientists can create life from non-life in labs. This shows your ignorance na follow come

Krismas:
Atheists? They know only little part of the jigsaw.
Point is, evolution does not have all the answers. They have never been able to find the missing link and they will never. There was an evolutionary leap leading up to human, that is inexplicable with the laws of Natural selection.
Maybe we dwell on this for a bit, b4 i drop the next points?

So what has all the answers?

Electorate:
You mean I should read a book written by the same confused person like you? NEVER. My common sense which ironically isn't common is more than enough.

No wonder you are a dvmmy.
'Testable evidence' isn't a book
Lol 😆

Electorate:
The creator isn't created he is the force that breath life into existence, your thinking faculty cannot handle that fact reason you all sound dumb that God doesn't exist



I don't even know why you guys are all worked up on something or someone you think doesn't exist, actually this is proof it actually exist to confirm your confusions.

So what if the universe wasn't created, just like your god?
Also since you think we are worked up about your god(since we argue about him), we can safely assume you christians are worked up about Allah since you argue, create threads about him on Nairaland etc
Your logic works either way

Krismas:
In year 2000, Egypt celebrated their 7,000yrs of existence. Mummies may be 4,000yrs, thats no ground to assume different kinds of people existed in Egypt 7,000yrs ago. Their remains were just not preserved, dats all. If u have any proof that human brain has enlarged than it was 8000yrs ago, then present it. I have found no such indication.
Natural selection is same as the term 'survival of the fittest'
You will only make it, if you adapt to adverse environmental conditions, which may be already prevalent or chance upon u suddenly.
This is why the other types of man are extinct.
Flapping away insects is only necessary in creatures that have no hands.
Obviously, man has never needed that skill.
So, i presume its time to drop two additional points

1. The homo sapien is very different from other type of man. eg brain size, less hair more mobility, longer lifespan etc. And no other being, has been found. to have existed as any form of mid-link between the neandertal and the modern human. Which can justify such leap in evolutionary capabilities.

2. Homo Sapien did not evolve therefore. He was created.

Any evidence about the creation of H.Sapiens? Cos I know they evolved

Semaj77:
Have you ever heard of testable evidence

I actually doubt it but you can keep revelling in your ignorance

Theists don't usually give a fvck about evidence, or any form of it. If they do, they won't be theists in the first place

alobright17:
So all you Christians that prayed against Muslim Muslim are not the people of god ? All of you that prayed against Buhari and Tinubu aren’t humble to him ?


So it means you yeye Christians have not been praying against kidnapping, bad roads , bad governance rapping , e.t.c ? Why is your daddy in heaven doesn’t answer ?

I'm an atheist bro. I'm quoting the bible for the Christian, since he doesn't read it

occfx:
Life, health, Energy, Brain, sun, rain, magnetic protection from rays, jupiter for asteroid protection etc... However, the thanking is still not necessary. It does not benefit God in anyway it only gives you peace of mind to be thankful both for your fellow humans and your God. Remember, you didn't ask to be created. God is not interested in what you can offer. He made you for his own purpose, just cooperate or perish.

So does he provide this for his own people or everyone in the world?

Krismas:
I am unaware of any increase in the cranium capacity of humans over the last 8000yrs. People tend to believe humans have become more smarter, when infact they are getting more stupid.
10-20% variants in population is not a significant evolutional concern. And can be explained away. e.g, Palmaris Longus is more absent in females and that ofcourse, is not the only difference btw both sexes of human. Movement of ears is rather more for flapping away flies than for enhanced ocular capability. Human has been evolutionally stable for 8000yrs
Mummies 4,000yrs old unearthed in Egypt, are not different in any way from us

I don't think we have been evolutionary stable. There are subtle changes in angigraphy and osteology

budaatum:
jaephoenix, Oh my Gott! Et tu? Me I let the specialists at King's Hospital do their miracle, and voila. I must confess I prayed once though.

Ma came with the Mother's Union and I thought to myself, I'm not letting these women disturb the ward with their prayers, so I prayed, "Thank you lord for all you have done", and they all said amen and left.

Feedback I got was I was arrogant, lol.

Actually I'm a physician, and I believe the spinal injury self-inflicted due to my work routines and exercise. So in all, I knew what the problem was: some lumbar radiculopathy with sciatic affectation. I didn't do any spinal MRI, just some blind clinical diagnosis. Had some spasm and tingling of my left leg which lasted for 3 months and gradually ebbed off. I thank my Flying Spaghetti Monster for his noodly limbs of healings

Dtruthspeaker:
Have you read sources of evidence? No. If not you would have known that fact is confirmed by human experience.

Then the bold, see how you have put the blame on me when clearly, like even this thread shows, the slanders started with an atheist.



Have you seen an atheist in good terms with any Christian? Never
Clear proof that atheists hate God and everyone who subscribes to Him and as you have just done, you people always attack them first like Hamas does.



And that is why many of them will fall under the Mark for an acts done under threats and duress are never acceptable. Even man fake laws called legal pronounce this Law which God had set. Which is why God's standard is higher.

I don't usually wanna answer your retarded posts but just wanna tell you that I'm an atheist and I have good relationship with many Christians and Muslims, which include my wife, siblings and inlaws, some of which I cater for. I know your views aren't that of majority of Christians. You are simply a sick and stvpid man

Angelfrost:
Lol... I don't know what you are talking about, my good sir.

My team won yesterday.

Arsenal should be ashamed of themselves.

Truly failure has no friends or relations

You cannot know beyond how far you have gone. Believe it or not, people make money through fetish means. I have witnessed it first hand.

Explain how you witnessed it

For once, I agree with Junkie. U need a shrink asap

Biggeststar01:
Your view of atheists is an assumption. It is baseless as you cannot substantiate the claim that the atheists position is evil, while yours is moral.

I wrote this in my quiet time and i didn’t want to share it now but I think someone like you needs to read this.

“One thing society need to understand is that; God fearing does not equate to rectitude any more than godlessness equates to depravity. One can be God fearing and still be morally depraved. Likewise, one can be godless and morally upright.
In fact, it is statistically proven that the rate of self-declared atheists [godless individuals] in prisons and other correctional institutions is relatively minuscule [0.001% give or take] in juxtaposition with the rate of the God fearing. Further, countries and organizations that have high rates of godless folk (over 80 and 90% identifying as atheist) are by and large, relatively safer, less corrupt, and generally more prosperous than religiously predominated ones.
The prevailing religious outlook that portrays godless people as inherently flawed and unprincipled, having an incorrigible propensity for moral turpitude, while portraying God fearing individuals as morally superior, is baseless and anachronistic, I think Nigeria should serve as clear proof of that. As a person who lives in a largely religious society, the most nefarious, utterly sadistic and iniquitous set of people I know, are religious and “God fearing”.
Such stereotypes is what allows for illustrious individuals in religious hierarchical subsets to escape justice or even scrutiny apropos moral conduct, while godless folk are assumed to be evil by default because they fear no deity.
Speaking of fear, I opine that the practice of grounding your morality in the “fear of God” is insubstantial. That one’s moral compass is predicated on the idea of a god, doesn’t make one a good person. If the only reason you’re doing good deeds, is because you are afraid of what could happen to you if you do bad deeds, then you’re essentially a bad person who is being restrained from acting on your default. Basically a dog on a leash, and your morality is contingent.”

You have as much chance of having a cerebral discourse with DTruthSpeaker, as squeezing water from a rock
Good luck

Merry100:
But God did not promise to always respond with a "Yes" whenever we call upon Him. As you read through the Bible, you will realize that God's responses can be "Yes," "No," or "Wait."

So what's the use of telling someone to call upon you when you don't always respond 'yes'?
Btw, why would an all knowing god require me to beg and plead for him to intervene when he already knows that I'm in trouble?

Biggeststar01:
I have nothing else to say to you. I’ll advice you not to make quick assumptions when submitting an argument.
It doesn’t help in ensuing a productive conversation when you assume that every one who disagrees with you is either evil, possessed or intransigent. It suppresses your reasoning and prevents you from questioning your own ideas. You don’t assert people’s ignorance or arrogance before inquiry. This doesn’t help in finding the truth.

That is the delusions of psychosis I was telling you about

TenQ:
No. It just simply means that you do NOT understand the Bible holistically. I guess you have sat under pastors who preach one-sided gospels to Deceive you.
Jesus said:

A man's Life does not consist of the abundance of what materials possessions he has acquired.
Luk 12:15:
"And he said to them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possesses."


The letters kill but the Spirit gives life.


Have a nice day!

You're buttressing the same exact fact I'm stating. Another Christian would come and say the direct opposite and claim u r wrong, yet u r reading the same Bible.
Tell me, didn't yhwh foresee all the confusion in Christianity? He could have written a book that is easily understood and devoid of lies, misinterpretations, miseducation, confusion etc but no, he wrote one of the most bleeped up books

Merry100:
My purpose is a journey of growth and transformation. I aspire to create a legacy of love and respect, hoping that my life will inspire others to live with purpose and treat one another with respect and compassion.

The core purpose of loving God and serving others is universal among Christians, but the paths we take to fulfill that purpose can vary significantly. Each of us has unique experiences, gifts, and passions that shape our individual journeys.

So yhwh created us to love him? And if we don't, he burns us to a right ol' crisp? But he knew I'll be an atheist when before he created me but would still went ahead to burn me if I don't believe

Proudlyngwa:
However you came up with that assumption only you know

Well you said yhwh would reveal himself to me. And I replied that he hadn't done so since I questioned his existence for nearly 20 years, meaning he hates me and doesn't want to save me

Krismas:
Then be my guest!
Afterall, why should i argue your name is jaephonix?
A man is what he calls himself

Thank you

Krismas:
Try me! Are u?
U know, i actually once saw a man, literally hacking at his own stomach with a sword, yet he was unharmed!
But convincing a friend about the experience is about the most unsuccessful thing I've ever done
Too much doubt is just as silly as too much belief.
As Aristotle would say, VIRTUE LIES IN THE MIDDLE

Yes I'm a unicorn. Matter of fact, I'm typing this message with my hooves

Proudlyngwa:
When he feels you relevant enough to his dispensation.

Trust me, he will.

Am not a fan of European Jewish Mythology though.

So he hates me then. I'm butt-hurt

Biggeststar01:
Delusions like?

Perfect example of pot calling kettle black. Christians are not smart

TenQ:
In think that the Pastors preaching prosperity gospel to you have messed up your comprehension of the scripture.

And you can think the plan of God for us is LIMITED to this physical world of existence!?
SMH!

John 16:33:
"These things I have spoken to you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
Because Jesus knows that you can even be killed for living as a Christian, He says
Luk 12:4:
"And I say to you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do."

Jesus made sure we know that life exists after death and that the prosperity of this world is NOTHING if you miss out of the eternal prosperity.
Mat 16:26:
"For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"

Jesus spoke of the blessing of God as the kingdom prepared from the foundation of the world to His children.
Mat 25:33-34:
"And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say to them on his right hand, Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:"


Finally, Paul helps us the see the magnitude of the Blessings of God for His Children by the verse

1Cor 2:9:
"But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him."


Did Jesus ever tell people that His kingdom is of this world?

My verses say a different thing from what yours say. What does it make your bible?
A book where one verse can mean multiple things. One book spawning thousands of denoms, each claiming the other would burn to a crisp just cos they believe a wrong version of the same god

Krismas:
U sound interesting.
For the question, i can confidently say, that my grandfather could teleport.
So, its real

What if I tell you confidently that I'm a unicorn. Would u believe me

Proudlyngwa:
I don't understand your statement

Well, u said god should show me wonders as a way of proving himself. I'm telling you he has been dodging me

Omozeez1:
The prayers and fasting u see here in Nigeria is hypocrisy.

So why are the other non-prayerful countries thriving?
Also there are more christians in Nigeria than most European countries yet we are worse off. If those countries that don't even pray are better off than we that pray(even if most are hypocritical) why don't we be as successful as those countries?

Merry100:
When will people begin to take responsibility for their actions instead of blaming God for everything?

God has provided us with the resources we need to thrive. He designed humanity with the ability to make choices and entrusted us with the stewardship of the earth's resources.

If we could all embrace the principle of loving our neighbours as ourselves, we could create a better world for everyone. Much of the suffering we see today stems from human greed and wickedness.

So how come yhwh says we should call on him and he'll answer us? I don't think he said "don't call on me, I have given you all u need to survive. Leave me alone"

Stevenbright:
Why having a believe is personal decision and has its benefits when genuinely handled, I agree with your assertion about we not getting the desired results despite the so called prayers!

The issue is that irrespective of the religion, an average Nigerian is hypocritical in nature. Just imagine a person praying for Nigeria to get better for all being among those who is corruptly enriching himself or herself at the detriment of the country and some of them even give to their religious organizations out of their proceeds of corruption!

When you see most Nigerians complaining about those in position of authority, it is because they are not able to benefit from those corrupt deals otherwise if than can, they won't complain but will call it smartness or Divine favor.

So do you believe in miracles?

Merry100:
First, understand why children who are separated from their parents at birth search for their parents; then you will grasp why people are interested in knowing their Creator.

God is worthy of praise and acknowledgment.

Recognizing the existence of God provides us with insight into our source, our purpose on Earth, and our Afterlife.

What is your purpose on earth and how did u know that? Is ur purpose the same as everyone else's?
