Nairaland GeneralIf Aliens Where Proved To Exist How Would It Impact The Christian Faith ? by Jayses(op): 4:30pm On Dec 21, 2013
Believe it or not, theologians,
astronomers, and science fiction fans and writers
have contemplated this question long and hard.
The debates have narrowed down where the
problems would arise, but the variables prevent a
definitive answer.
The most commonly discussed issue is that of the
identity and work of Jesus. God sent His only
begotten Son, God incarnate, to save mankind
and redeem creation. Does that redemption
include life on other planets? Or would God have
manifested Himself on those other planets, as well
(in the manner of Aslan in Narnia)? Does "only
begotten" mean "only physical representation"?
Or is it more limited, referring only to the human
species?
Another consideration: would an otherworldly,
sentient, advanced life form sin and need
redemption in the same way we do? Human life is
in the blood (Leviticus 17:11). Where is the life of
these hypothetical aliens? And what would have
to be sacrificed to save them? Could the human
blood of Jesus save silicon-based glass creatures
whose sin was melting and reforming themselves
into unnatural shapes?
Another topic of discussion is what it means to be
made in the "image of God." Since God has no
physical body, we take this to mean a reflection of
God’s non-physical aspects—rationality, morality,
and sociability. Would aliens embody the same
characteristics? We have no way of knowing.
One issue rarely broached is the impact of Young
Earth Creationism on the discovery of alien life. It
is conceivable, if highly unlikely, that the
geological pyrotechnics that took place during
the global flood could have spewed a bacteria- or
lichen-tainted stone all the way to Mars where it
found shelter in a misty canyon. But any life form
more complicated or farther out would be much
harder to harmonize with a literal reading of
Genesis 1. Could demons have taken trees and
shrubs and rodents and bugs to another planet
with an environment similar to Earth’s? Possibly.
But without the Spirit's blessing of life, it's unlikely
any of it would have survived. Parallel creations?
Maybe. The Bible does not mention parallel
creations, but, then again, there's no reason why
God would have to tell us about them.
If a more advanced race is found, it would be
interesting to see if they had stories about
creation, sin, redemption, and an omnipotent, all-
seeing Deity. If so, the Bible would have even
more external validation. If not, then we have
another mission field.
Considering what we know about space and life
and the world as God sees it, we already have an
explanation for so-called alien activity on Earth.
Reports of “close encounters” describe the
ethereal, transient, deceptive, and malevolent.
Accounts also record that encounters with
supposed aliens can be stopped by a real,
authentic call to Jesus. Everything points to the
activity of demons, not extraterrestrials.
The discovery of alien life would have no effect on
genuine Christianity. The Bible stands as written,
and there is nothing in it that would absolutely
contradict the existence of extraterrestrials. If
aliens exist, they exist within God's framework for
creation. God cannot be hurt by truth, and those
who walk by faith love the truth. John 16:13
assures us that the Spirit will guide us to all truth.
Nothing that happens in this universe is a
surprise to God. If aliens exist, God will let us
know what to do with that information when the
time comes.
Nairaland GeneralIs There Any Truth To The Da Vinci Code by Jayses(op): 4:20pm On Dec 21, 2013
Is there truth to Dan Brown’s bestseller
The Da Vinci Code? It is important to remember
that The Da Vinci Code is entirely fictional. As
much as author Dan Brown would like us to
believe, The Da Vinci Code has no solid basis
historically, biblically, or theologically. The Da
Vinci Code is essentially an attempt to
"humanize" Jesus Christ by inventing a story of
how His true identity was distorted and hidden for
nearly two thousand years. In the book, Jesus was
married to Mary Magdalene and had children.
Mary Magdalene and Jesus’ descendants were the
“holy grail” that carries the blood of Christ. The
Da Vinci Code states that these facts about Jesus
Christ were covered up by the early church in
order to protect the idea of Jesus’ divinity. All the
Christian books which told of Jesus’ relationship
with Mary Magdalene were destroyed, and any
evidence of such a relationship was covered up.
Again, The Da Vinci Code is fiction. It has no basis
in reality. It is a well-written, entertaining book,
but that’s all there is to it. Dan Brown is of the
persuasion that these ideas about Jesus are true.
Since there is no historical, biblical, or theological
basis for his beliefs, Dan Brown presented them in
a fictional account. But the truth is that Jesus was
not married to Mary Magdalene or anyone else.
Jesus did not have any children. Yes, the early
church attempted to destroy many “gospels”
about Jesus, but they did so because they were
almost universally recognized as heretical, not to
cover anything up. Even these “gospels” only
give hints of a relationship between Jesus and
Mary Magdalene. The church did not cover up the
truth about Jesus being married to Mary
Magdalene. Rather, the church protected the
truth about Jesus being God in the flesh (John
1:1, 14).
The Da Vinci Code is in reality an attack on the
Person of Jesus Christ. People do not want to
believe that Jesus is God or that He is the Savior,
so they make up falsehoods about Him in order to
create a false Jesus that they can believe in. That
is what The Da Vinci Code is all about—presenting
a false view of who Jesus Christ truly was and
then explaining why this “truth” has been
"hidden" for nearly 2000 years

Science/Technology10 Things An Electromagnetic Field Can Do To Ur Brain. by Jayses(op): 11:36pm On Dec 20, 2013
We all know that electromagnetic fields are magic
and can do anything at any time for any reason.
Sometimes, though, they can be harnessed to do
certain things in particular. Electromagnetic fields
can be applied to the skull, making your brain do
strange, and sometimes completely inexplicable
things. Find out how scientists use magnetic
fields to rip your mind apart, make it better, and
have it do tricks like a trained puppy.

10. Shred its DNA
Well, it's no surprise that not all the things a high
electromagnetic field can do are good. Actually,
even a mild electromagnetic field can wreck a
brain if it's applied over a long time. Scientists
found that an electromagnetic field applied to lab
rats over time resulted in broken strands of DNA
in the brain. Not just anywhere - the brain
specifically. It's possible that this DNA damage is
the cause of brain tumors, and the reason why
people don't just walk around with brain-boosting
electromagnetic hats all the time.

9. Stimulate its Growth
Oh, electromagnetism! It's such a trickster! One
moment its ripping through DNA strands like a pit
bull through an old sock, the next minute it's
tenderly nurturing the growth of neurons.
Scientists found that brains subjected to regular
transcranial electromagnetic stimulation for only
five days showed an increase in stem cells in the
hippocampus. This is the part of the brain that
governs memory, making electromagnetic
stimulation a possible treatment for Alzheimer's
and stroke patients.

8. Train you off food and water
Rats who had been deprived of water were placed
in a strong electromagnetic field and offered a
sweetened solution. Although they did drink, they
drank less than those given the solution without
exposure to the electromagnetic field. When rats
were given the solution and later exposed to the
field, they developed an aversion to the solution
over time. Enough electromagnetism may turn
you off your favorite food.

7. Make you spin in circles
Other rats (who have a terrible time of it during
experiments like these) were found to walk in
tight circles under the influence of an
electromagnetic field. Scientists think that the
field takes out the rats' sense of balance, making
them lurch in circles. The lack of balance also
may have induced nausea, which causes lethargy
and could be one of the reasons that rats go off
their feed.

6. Pacify you completely
Transcranial electromagnetic stimulation -
subjecting people to strong electromagnetic fields
aimed at specific parts of the brain - is sometimes
used as a treatment for bipolar disorder or clinical
depression. Some patients find an immense relief
in this. Other people, who don't suffer from
depression, have reason to worry about it. People
without any diagnosed medical illness while under
such stimulation can be relaxed to a state where
they can't think of anything, at all, that bothers
them. If that kind of relaxation can be induced at
will, it could be used to pacify large parts of the
population.

5. Alter your morality
All that relaxation has a price. Sometimes we're
meant to fret. For example, if someone is about to
cross a dangerous bridge, and we're aware of the
chance it can collapse, and they aren't. Those
without a magnetic field dancing around their
brain, think that allowing the person to cross the
bridge would be immoral. Those with a field gaily
capering through their neurons think that, as
long as this hypothetical person made it to the
other side in one piece, there's no real moral
problem. Judging the morality of a situation
strictly by the outcome makes any crimes with
'attempted' in their description no longer crimes
at all. It takes away a person's intentions and
bases morality entirely on what happens to occur.
Morality becomes a matter of chance.

4. Take out your power of speech but leave
your ability to sing
Broca's area in the brain controls the ability to
speak. A large electromagnetic field applied to the
area takes out that ability entirely. Subjects under
this kind of stimulation simply stop speaking the
moment the field disrupts that part of the brain,
while the rest of the functions are unimpeded.
One of those other functions is singing. Although
many people think that singing words and
speaking words are much the same function, the
ability to perform each action is housed in
completely different parts of the brain. So people
who are unable to talk will sing perfectly normally.

3. Induce panic, disorientation, and deep
fear
Although some kinds of electromagnetic fields,
applied to certain areas of the brain, pacify people
and put them in a good mood, others are said to
induce fear. Sometimes people report a
persistent, if mild, sense of unease. Others have a
more visceral response, feelings of despair and
paranoia, sliding into overwhelming terror.

2. Cause Seizures and Death
Under the worst circumstances, exposure to
electromagnetic fields can cause a number of
serious effects in the brain. Studies have shown
that it can change the flow of blood in the brain,
and turn off neuron groups. Some people, under
the influence of high magnetic fields have caused
people to have violent seizures, and even lose
consciousness, slip into comas, and die. This is
one of the reasons why houses under high
electromagnetic fields have ghost stories
associated with them. In conjunction with the
deep feelings of unease, mysterious seizures and
deaths start all kinds of rumors. Of course, those
rumors aren't as bad as . . .

1. Make you see ghosts
Electromagnetic fields, or electric shocks, have
induced specific hallucinations in people. Those
who are exposed to them, even in laboratory
settings, have caused people to complain about a
feeling of people following them, talking to them,
or watching them. This is not always an
uncomfortable sensation. Some people interpret
this presence as a malevolent presence, especially
if it's coupled with a feeling of unease, but others
say they felt an inspiring or comforting presence.
Ghost hunters will sometimes say the reverse -
that ghosts cause a high electromagnetic field, or
sometimes that a high electromagnetic field will
allow ghosts to appear. Nobody is sure, yet, what
these fields do to ghost brain DNA.

Nairaland General6 Things You Should Quit Doing To Be More Successful by Jayses(op): 11:11pm On Dec 20, 2013
If you haven’t seen it, I’ll describe it for you. In a
now viral video, writer Marina Shifrin turns the
camera on herself at the office
around 4:30 a.m. She then proceeds to dance
herself out of a job. Throughout the video, words
splash across the screen explaining her reasons,
then at the end we read, “I quit.” Then one more
time in caps for good measure, “I QUIT!”



You know what I thought about as I watched the
video? I wish more people did this.
We humans (that means me included) often get
stuck in a hamster wheel of habit. We do things
that aren’t good for us, remain where we
shouldn’t and put ourselves through voluntary
suffering all in the name of comfort. We don’t
know these things are damaging, because it’s
normal to us.
But a rare few, like Marina, snap out of it and quit
before it’s too late. Here are six things you should
quit doing today, before it’s too late.
Quit Stopping – I’ve completed six half
marathons (13.1 miles) over the past few years
and each one has been an emotional experience
for me. Here’s how it usually goes…
The gun goes off: “This is great! Today is gonna
be a personal record, I just know it.”
Mile 5: “Am I sane?”
Mile 10: “You want this, ouch, you want this,
ouch.”
Mile 13: “Where’s the dang finish line!!!!”
Finish line: “That. Was. Awesome. When’s the
next one?”
They say that at the very moment you want to
quit, you’re actually almost there. It’s the stupid
human in us…we go so far and then our brains
take over and tell us it’s too hard. When did we
get the memo that life was supposed to be easy
all the time?
Think right now about something you keep
stopping. You committed to it, but then you
suddenly quit because it started to require a little
extra elbow grease. A project at work, a
relationship, a fitness goal. Remember why you
started it, then push onward. Because the more
you stop and think about quitting, the longer it’ll
take to get to your desired result. Or worse, you’ll
never know what it feels like to reach the finish
line.
Quit Saying Tomorrow – You know the saying,
“Yesterday you said tomorrow?” Seriously, stop
that! Delaying or procrastinating around
something that you think is important means one
of two things. You’re either scared to start
because it means your life will change or you
want it for the wrong reasons (i.e. someone else is
encouraging you to do it).
So yes, that new healthy eating thing you want to
do will be very difficult and possibly unpleasant.
But every day you wait to start is another day
you’re not helping yourself. And you keep telling
yourself that you’ll wait until the kids are a certain
age before you finish your degree, but is that
really the main reason you’re waiting? Or is it
because studying is not nearly as exciting as all
the other options you have right now? And while
you’re at it, why are you donating free money to
the gym? They haven’t seen you in months.
Quit Being A Victim – When people tell me
they’re doing something or making certain
choices because they have “no choice,” it makes
me want to bang my head on the table…and then
put that on repeat. You have a choice in
everything you do. Barring a few really crazy
exceptions, no one holds your hand to the fire on
anything. And if you’re choosing to remain in a
place that isn’t positive, you’re victimizing
yourself.
You are not so worthless that you have to keep
dating that person. GEJ and the economy are
not forcing you to stay in that career. There are
other places you could live. And it’s not your
schedule that prevents you from being healthy.
Our social groups are great for complaining. We
all discuss our problems with our friends and
that’s ok. But there are limits. Everyone gets a
few opportunities to complain about a particular
hardship, but if you seek advice and respond with
“but I can’t” (said in whiny voice) too many
times, you officially become a victim. Eventually,
you’ll have to ask yourself whether you even want
to fix the problem.
Quit Saying Yes – My yoga instructor, Angela
Wagner, reminded me recently that anytime we
say yes to something, we’re saying no to
something else. So when you say yes to a happy
hour, you’re saying no to <insert your choice of
workout>. When you say yes to a crappy review
from your boss, you’re saying no to getting
acknowledged for the great work that was
overlooked. When you say yes to watching
pointless reality TV shows, you’re saying no to
doing the dishes. Or if you say yes to staying late
at the office, you’re saying no to your
relationship.
It could be you don’t need to entirely quit saying
yes. You may just need to analyze when you’re
saying yes and what you’re trading for it. You
might find yourself saying yes to things you don’t
even care about and no to things that could
make your life better in some way.
Quit Expecting – I got an email the other night
from someone looking for advice after reading this
article. He told me that he’s been working for the
same company for his entire career, rising
through the ranks and loving it. But recently he
realized he’s hit a wall – he’s had many reviews
and each time he meets with management,
they’re not giving him the promotion he knows
he’s ready for. My question to him was, “Have you
asked for it?”
It’s very rare for a company to proactively
promote someone at a fast pace. Especially true
in older organizations, if you expect your
company to promote you when they feel you’re
ready for it, you’ll be sitting around waiting for
about 10 years to reach the next level.
Your boss is like your significant other. Don’t
expect them to read your mind. They’ll only know
what you need when you tell them. If you really
have your heart set on something (like a
promotion), you must be vocal about it. If you
don’t speak up, you’re leaving the translation up
to them. Expect at your own risk.
Quit Avoiding – Suck it up. We all have things
we don’t want to do, but we have to do them
because we’re adults. (Should I have started the
paragraph with, “Dear Congress”?)
I once managed a team responsible for a
corporate-wide project with a lot of moving
pieces. There were some majorly miserable
elements to that project and there were some
really sexy parts (i.e. things you put on your
resume) too. As I sat with my boss reviewing
progress one day, she asked why I hadn’t finished
one particular task (a task that couldn’t be
delegated). I responded with, “It’s boring me!”
Her response was, “Your point?”
Yeah, life doesn’t work that way. You can’t pluck
the fun parts out and leave the tough parts on
the table. You take all or none.
If we didn’t have to work hard to reach success,
we wouldn’t appreciate it. If there’s something
you’re putting off because it’s boring you, it’s
hard, physically demanding or tiring…just get up
and get it done. Quit avoiding it. There will be
rewards along the way and there will be a great
sense of accomplishment at the end.
