[quote author=some-girl]who's the mode for this section? I have a request.[/quote]https://www.nairaland.com/1172829/comments-questions-complaints-talk-mod

shymexx: Why did you hide my post and not the other geezer's post??

Smh at Nigerians! Lmao..

Which post please (link)? I must have missed it. Thanks.

A whole slew of folks are now serving bans...anyone else want to join them? otherwise please mind your language and post according to the rules. Thanks.

Btw, nice win for the Celtics last night vs. the Malus (salute to Bawo here)...I'm so impressed with how the role players have all stepped up their games... Jeff Green... I got my eye on you...the way he drives into the paint aiming to posterize people these days loving it.

Abeg make una lef ESPN jor...what Lebron is doing is out of this solar system. I really hope he ends up with at least 5 rings by the time he's done with his career so that he can officially be better than one petulent super star dude that plays for LA

[quote author=A-40]Lool that doesn't mean he can't be productive off the bench! You could throw in Kenyon Martin as well[/quote]I would take Kenyon martin actually. We need the size and I think his own kolo is at least manageable.

Why not? Is he older than Grant Hill The ninjas I mentioned are still relatively young (Arenas,West) you guys just need to hire a clinical psychologist to work with them

Lol...Grant Hill is one in a milla. The rest of those dudes are not worth the trouble jare...better to bring up some hungry dudes from the d-league than settle for nba rejects imho. We may stumble on the next Jeremy Lin.

GraceBestowed: A wise friend once said to me; [size=14pt] "don't argue with a fool, or they will bring you down to their level, and beat you with experience" . [/size]In this instance, I will chose not to argue with people who don't share in my beliefs, because all I can do is speak the truth, and let the Spirit do the conviction!

Prayers, and fellowship, with the Holy Spirit, remains key.

Nice! very nice!!!

Nice write up.

And noteworthy the recognition the flavor of 'naija christianity' is a bastardized one. I'm coming to think all this chasing after fools gold is merely an outlet for the frustration that is called living in Nigeria. Keep taking those walks though...if not anything it is good for your health .

[quote author=A-40]Lot of options dey! Mike Bibby,Delonte West,Gilbert Arenas [/quote]Chei! you are evil lol why not add Allen Iverson to that mix too

[quote author=Mr_Anony]When logicboy asked for proof that dawkins was a philosophy dunce, The first thing that came to my mind was: "how does one go about proving to a philosophy dunce that someone else is a philosophy dunce.
In order to recognize irrationality, one must first know what good rational thought looks like.

If logicboy cannot see the foolishness in Dawkins demanding proof of proof, then I'm afraid it is no use.[/quote]LOL...touché! Imagine the guy saying with a straight face that believing God created man is a scientific claim chei!

White007: Like the others: Waiting for DNA. Remember, this guy was trained in "cover-up" by the best - LAPD.

...wait oh...you're right lol.

MacDaddy01: Jesoul? What is your point? Did God create man according to the bible, yes or no?

That is a scientific claim. [size=14pt] The moment you accept that Yahweh created man, you have made a scientific claim. [/size] You have described a physical process in the origin of man.


As for the bold
Isaiah 64:8 ►
New International Version (©1984)
Yet, O LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.


Taken literally, God is the moulder of clay

This is quite embarrasing - especially for one who brandishes 'logic' & 'science' all over the section (in the face of real world scientists like myself - if I may quietly add). Someday (hopefully sooner than later), you'll look back and realize what a hopelessly, utterly & irredeemably farcical statement that is . I can't blame you too much sha...this is clearly a Dawkinian trait and you're merely taking after daddy G.O. Dawkins.

Cheerios, logicboy .

MacDaddy01: Religion is not science, agreed but religion, especially the Abrahamic faiths try to overstep into science.


Wait, so the origin of man is not a scientific area? Hmm? When the bible claims that mn was created from dust by God is it not encroaching on the origin of man, a scientific area of study?


I give up.

Again, no it does not. It is only in your false/flawed understanding of what the bible actually says that there is any conflict.

When it says God made man from dust what comes to your mind? A big dude sits on the ground, crosses his legs and begins molding a human shaped body from the dust?

[rhetorical questions] Do you know what an allegory is? do you understand the use of imagery in texts? the use of literal & non-literal words/terms/descriptors in language? [/rhetorical questions]

When human being die do they turn into 'dust' in the ground? what does 'dust' mean in this context? Again, there is no conflict between religion & science except that which is conjured up by evangelical practitioners of pseudo science armed with an anti-God agenda.

^for reals... Celtics are cursed this season. I feel particularly bad for Barbosa...this was his chance to get some good playing time and ink a nice deal. To come back from ACL and back to a tough market, tough tough luck.

Welcome sweetie. Hope you enjoy your time around here and hope to learn for you too . Godbless!

MacDaddy01: 4) Religion claiming that God created the universe or big slam is a scientific claim. [size=14pt]Religion claiming that God created man from dust is a scientific claim. [/size] Your logic is upside down because it is religion that is encroaching on science. Dawkins is addressing these issues and showing that religion should not be taught in science class. Even Dawkins said that he doesnt care what people believe as long as they dont interfere with the teaching of science or others public life

Oh dear.

See people? this is what I am talking about. Logicboy believes the bible makes "scientific claims", of any kind. Dude, the bible makes religious/spiritual claims and nothing more. The sooner you realize religion IS not science the sooner you and Dawkins can untie the twists in your undies .

MacDaddy01: Even you Jesoul? You were smart to avoid this issue before, why fall my hand?


1) First of all, Dawkins where did you get the idea that Dawkins is attemption to put himself as an authority on philosophy? Does talking about morality/religion equate to that? You just made a bold lie.

2)I want to know what wrong arguments Dawkins made on religion. You people have been making claims here and there but have failed to present one argument that is dunce-like from Dawkins. Anyone can make valid comments on religion whether supporting or criticising it. I dont know what the hell you people are talking about when you say that Dawkins doesnt know hwat he is saying.


3) You are free to name and quote his empty rhetoric of no substance that you so claim that he spouts.


4) Religion claiming that God created the universe or big bang is a scientific claim. Religion claiming that God created man from dust is a scientific claim. Your logic is upside down because it is religion that is encroaching on science. Dawkins is addressing these issues and showing that religion should not be taught in science class. Even Dawkins said that he doesnt care what people believe as long as they dont interfere with the teaching of science or others public life


5) If you watch the video, Dawkins said that he is an educator and he is concerned with teaching facts. He promotes the teaching of evolution in schools. He also says that he is concerned with what is true.

Really dude? do you think most people here are 'afraid' of atheists and their 'questions'? Don't mistake lack of participation or engagement as 'fear' - rather the plain truth - we're simply tired of the same arguements & don't have the time but will oblige every now and then so ya'll don't feel like no one can answer.

Now to your post...

Not much to reply/add really. I stand by my first post. Dawkins (say whatever he will "I'm an educator" "I advocate free-thinking" "bla bla bla" ) by way of his fanatical anti-religion evangelicism is trying to pass of himself as an expert on matters he has no business in. Furthermore, I reiterate science & religion are two separate disciplines - and any deists or atheists who attempt to draw imaginary correlations are the true "dunces".

Cheerios.

There was a thread on this a while back... https://www.nairaland.com/1102011/secession-bid-texas-obamas-war#12952575

^yeah the police don't want to make a definitive statement until they can ID the body but the guy is dead. Sad how he turned...and I pray for peace for the families of the lives he took.

I think I too have said somewhere...

Dawkins attempting to present himself as an authority on religion or philosophy...is about on par as Mama Sunday attempting to present herself as an expert on Biophysics. Only fellow evangelical pop-atheists take him seriously when he goes on his anti-religious spiels that are all hot-air and no substance - M.O.? throw around enough 'big' words mixed with deliberately misapplied concepts with the aim to obfuscate the matter, all presented with an arrogant confidence to BS the audience into actually believing he knows what the hell it is he's talking about. All he's doing is giving an opinion - an opinion no more weighty than that of Pastor Ade of Ojuelegba foursquare gospel church.

What is my proof? none necessary. The very ludicrous & disingenuous idea of attempting to apply science to non-scientific matters is all the proof one needs. The two are separate disciplines and attempts to present them as contradictory, conflicting parts is straight up intellectual dishonesty. He should simply stick to Biology, his discipline of expertise.

Cheerios.
