chinedumo: To what do we owe this niceness?

ah ah, are you saying I wasn't nice before? . I'm just cutting nakash some slack.

MacDaddy01: lol...Jesoul, you missed action oooooo. When you were gone for some months, I gave the dictator (Maclatunji) hell. He was banning me left and right (9 times) but I was getting wiser after each ban. I stopped commenting on other people's threads and focused on my own threads. The guy had to even start creating new fake reasons to ban me. He even got so mad that he started hiding some of my old threads that were not in use months back. He also started moving my threads to various sections. I didnt even know that we had a "diary" section


Maclatunji finally banned me for 3 months. Can you imagine that I was not even trolling yet all these happned? Imagine if I wanted to troll?

Lol, you're funny dude. Sadly it is what it is, I wish they'd be more open to 'outsiders' as that's how perception of muslims can begin to change but alas...anyways, have you tried to get Seun's attention? but he may be reluctant (and I don't blame him) because of the threats he has received in the past. Best to just leave their space for them I guess

Chrisbenogor: Correct Bobo

I am in piers morgan mood these days and I am looking for a "guinea pig" to hone my skills, how about an interview someday? I am looking for a section to host me show on hehehehehe also looking for people to interview. Would you be up for it?

@Tudor6
Whats with the accident and near death experience? I would like to hear the story oh, maybe when my show is fully up and running

Oya begin your interview thread...me I want to see gist.

Pastor AIO: Yabis?!!? That is me at my finest. Are you saying that there is something wrong with the picture? Or na you wan take style yab me? See as all my shildrens are following me behind. You ought to fall in and learn some dance steps yourself.

lol. Excuse meyou. You sabi tie wrapper no be small. Na chewing stick you put for mouth so? old man can still get down just make sure you don't break any bones or strain any muscles in the process...there's no 911 operator in the village oh.

Goshen360: Ahh! Mercedes benz ke . The only thing I will send in return is either buy the truth and send to you or give it to you online, I mean Bible Study materials. However, that will be after I get my tithe in my paypal account sha....send to paypal account on same email: goshen360@yahoo.co.uk. But wait o, e be like say una mouth don wide o.....Mercedes benz ke!

See this boy...na "truth" pesin go chop? na "bible study materials" go pay for mama sundays new duplex? mind urself oh...

As much as I sympathize with posters on the 'difficulties' of posting in the Islam section, the general religion section is not the place to air grievances. So nakash dearest, the topic does not belong. You can either complain here:

Lodge Your Complaints Here - Islam for Muslims
https://www.nairaland.com/288134/lodge-complaints-here

but since they're the ones who banned you, the best place to get attention (especially Seun's attention) is here:

Nairaland / General - Nairaland
https://www.nairaland.com/nairaland

Sorry ehn. And all that said, I'll leave this thread open as a sign of good faith.

Enigma: Nice to 'see' you Jesoul and glad to know you are doing fine.

My in-law, thank you oh. How body now? and I hope our small guy is doing fabulous

See how my head is swelling....sweet of you uncle Kunle & a big thanks to everyone!

At least, manmustwac and me no go too vex because I perceive you don go make plenty money out there,lolz ......at least me n manmustwac go cool tension small with the tithe.

Anyway, we missed you go greatly. Welcome back.

^Chris it just occured to me why you vex and you have every right to but ejo let that water flow pass ehn and chop some of PastorAIO's roasted cow and be merry. Or I have to make restitution? how many hail marys?

ttalks: Wow,.......Nice to see most of the old crew of the religion forum. Been ages since I came here/posted.Times have really changed.

indeed! is that nuclearsir I see? and you self ttalks, wassup dude? longest of time.

TUDOR! so good to see you popped in. You have crossed my mind on many an occasion and I prayed (yes oh whether you like am or not lol) that your recovery was going well and that you've gotten back firmly on your feet. Good to see that you're doing fine! Hope everything in regards to mind body & soul is peaches & cream.

Martian: Hey Jesoul and Masmustquench,

Do you think it's time to change this section to [b]Religion/Philosophy[/b]Section? I say this because, the discussions are mostly philosophical even though most of the discussions revolve around two major ones and other personal ones. Even the two major ones are deeply influenced by personal philosophies.

Regular posters like Plaetton, Deepsight, Purist, Muskeeto, myself etc are not religious but have unique philosophies that tend to evolve or devolve over time.

What does thou saith?

Pls forgive the late response Martian. The Religion section may not be properly titled to truly represent word for word what goes on here - I think it is assumed. But you're right, your title would make for a more descriptive header. Seun reads this thread...hope he shares his thoughts...

And oh, as for 'social conservative', we'd first have to define the term . At the bare frame, I do lean right on most issues. Cheers

jayriginal: Jesoul, haba.
I simply gave the topic the same title with the article. Was I supposed to retitle it?

Also, as I pointed out, saying something didn't need god is very different from saying god didn't do it.

My brother no wahala jare. Beef is with mr Mike Wall for a shoddily written article.

And no beef either with this "saying something didn't need god is very different from saying god didn't do it", the issue is commenting on God at all! in the context of a scientific discussion.

logicboy01: Sorry for being off topic but are you a Glenn Beck fan by the way? I came across one of your past posts

Apologies to Jayriginal too for offtopic. Glenn Beck...used to listen to him some yrs back but not anymore. Fan? nope. See this FA thread https://www.nairaland.com/768858/glenn-beck-now-pastor-preacher#9232686

jayriginal: Why the paranoia ?







All these went unnoticed ?

Something else may fly over heads again. Notice the words 'divine spark', and what I really mean is notice that the words are in quotes.

Went unnoticed? not a chance.

If you re-read my post you'll see I do not include mentions on the existence of God anywhere - that wasn't the focus of the article. Yes you titled the thread same as the author of the article but you both misquoted the scientist - the title is an absolute statement, while the quote within the article is not - and in the context of scientific discussions it is a very important distinction.

Secondly, the author & the astrophysicist are trying to play ball here... you title the article/research "big bang did(may) not need God" - they have already introduced God into the matter! and then try to side-step the landmine by saying "let's just leave it at the laws of physics".

If they truly wanted a strictly scientific discussion and were not attempting to comment on the involvement (not existence) of a "God" then why the misleading title? its a lazy article. The author knows throwing out certain catch phrases will ellicit a certain audience/reaction and that's what he did.

and oh, my BP (as of few days ago) is fine jare . I just dislike lazy work that pretends to masquerade as science. As one who careers in science, it is particularly embarrassing to see. And as a spiritual person I especially enjoy reading new scientific discoveries that push the boundaries of what we already know.

MyJoe: JeSoul, long time. How is you?

So you were right about the MB and I was dead wrong - well, mostly! I mean, their actions so far don't lead me to any further optimism. Though there's still hope with the matter of their Tunisian neighbours.

Telepathy ehn! lol I was just thinking about you last week and our discussion on the MB a while back. I'm not happy that I was right jare, one can almost always bet on the vain nature of man to prevail. We need a thread to discuss soon...

and I'm fine oh. Family, work & all is well. We thank God. Hope mrs, jnrs and extensions are all in stellar health & mind & body & soul :-)

MyJoe: Lemme give you a few, not necessarily because they are tops, but because they stick in my mind positively.


Deep Sight's threads seeking to get Christians to commit on whether or not God will fry good people who just can't be bothered to chant "blood of Jeeeeeeeeeezus" or attend Sunday services .... or "believe". I will pick just two:

There was one that was hanging at the top of my head before and seeing your username quickly reminded me:
Biblical Inerrancy
https://www.nairaland.com/413985/biblical-inerrancy

plaetton: I see no contradictions here. The is nothing wrong with ifs and maybes.science is has never been about absolute knowledge, it has always been about questions and ore questions.

Indeed there is absolutely nothing wrong with 'ifs' & 'maybes' as long as ¹It is not being passed off as absolute and most importantly ² it is backed by solid, verifiable, reproducible research - even though its not entirely proven yet. I'm sorry, it is not nearly enough to speculate and then pass off to lazy journalists to reproduce for mass consumption. Your quote below is not entirely representative of the article:

This scientists above made his statements based on the body of knowledge that is already available. He does not need to publish studies to support every statement that he makes.
Tomorrow, another scientist with new knowledge may prove this one to be entirely wrong, and then new questions arise. That is how the scientific method marches on.

The speculation that universes can simply be created is not based on any "body of knowledge that is already available" especially when you go further to state that you probably cannot even measure or verify that any universe was created!

I appreciate & respect theories borne out of solid research (which is why I lend plenty of salt to evolution in spite of the shortcomings it has). This however, is not close to respecting the basic requirements for passing off as a scientific theory. I might as well ask mama sunday what she thinks about how the universe came about...she also will not be able to prove it just like these guys, so what makes them different?

plaetton: Here is a link.
http://www.casavaria.com/sentido/science/2006/06-0802-new-universe.htm

I will take more time to read through this link, but just a quick skim through at their conclusion

It is expected that the separation between our space-time and the baby universe would occur so quickly, it might be impossible —within the limitations of our physical universe— to observe its having been created.

pls correct me if I'm wrong here....so they might at some point be able to create this baby universe, but in all likelihood will never be actually able to know or prove for certain if they actually created it?

These kinds of articles are embarrassing.

Both the author & the OP went with the title: "The Big B@ng Did Not Need God", yet a direct quote from the scientist in question says this: "The Big Bang could've occurred as a result of just the laws of physics being there," said astrophysicist Alex Filippenko of the University of California, Berkeley."

Can anyone spot the difference? It is great to continue researching these things but lazy, casual articles like these are just disappointing particularly because they're not telling us anything new or substantive.

There is nothing new in this article. They're saying the big bang may not have needed a divine spark. Anyone equally armed with enough technical jargon can also write an article and says the big bang may have needed a divine spark. And then they backtrack saying....the laws of physics may have been enough BUT they don't know what initiated the laws of physics to begin with - if physics itself may/may not have been a result of a divine spark.

Furthermore the article is full of so many "maybes" "mights" "possiblys" "could haves" etc I can start a festival with them... I mean what does this statement even mean:

"The Big Bang could've occurred as a result of just the laws of physics being there," said astrophysicist Alex Filippenko of the University of California, Berkeley. "With the laws of physics, you can get universes."

? what? where's the research to show this? or is all that is required to pass off as 'science' these days a barrage of speculative unsubstantiated technical jargon flung one after another to bamboozle the casual reader?

Abeg, next.

chaircover: Saga what in earth made you click on this link? Dont let TV catch you here ooooooooo!!!

I still think that all this sagafrontin is just an alter ego and the real saga is as we speak busy in the kitchen snapping egusi seeds and picking the stones out of beans.

ROTFLOL... this is freaking hilarious lol.

Sagamite: As long as you are comfortable with Givenchy, YSL, Ralph Lauren tag not being on it, then I believe you.

Infact, it is in my personal 'code of dressing conduct' NOT to wear so-called "designer" clothing/labels in general - especially if the label is on display. How much are Polo, Coach, Givenchy & co. paying me to advertise their clothing? way I see it, why should I pay to be someone else's walking billboard? its a scam of the highest order lol. Quality & style, personalized is what matters to me.

Sagamite: No 1, are you planning to eliminate eba, fufu, amala etc from your diet for the next 10 years?

Lol, assuming its in my diet to begin with . I don't remember the last time I ate any of the above.

No 2, if you had between the option (based on financial constraints) of leasing your perfect, absolutely stunning bridal gown or buying an "e-go-do" bridal gown, which one would you go for?

Chai...e go hard oh... but I think I would still lean towards the latter. It is very possible to find great-looking dresses at cheap prices - especially from chinese outlets. Two of my friends bought theirs off a website that makes imitations of popular styles starting as low as ~$200 bucks and they turned out great.

gegee: Why will islam make the women suffer for the uncontrolable sexual appetite of their men ? Why don't they make the men wear a blindfold so they'll not be able to see the women and fall into temptation.

chidike: i hope you'll still be able to fit into it, ten years and kids does a lot to a woman's body o!

Lol. Tell me about it! good thing for me staying healthy is fun fun fun

scribble: ur not yet married and already planning 10year anniv.

Go in peace, your faith has made u whole

See this one, fire your aba-made sources asap. I should be counselling you on marriage self.
