Too bad.I am in Nsukka although I go to UNTH every wednesday for my hospital rounds.I'll have liked to see him.

God is everything. From the air you breathe to the brain cells in your head.

We are all connected, we are the body of God. God is not a being. God is energy or forces of these world. In fact anything you can think of is the manifestation of God. You are God yourself, you just have to wake up and enjoy your world.

Pray, what are the possible consequences of the highlighted at death? What will be the benefit of the bolded at death?

Scholar8200:
Oh yes He did!

before you act as their advocate perfect your studies from both sides of the argument!, The highlighted is your escape route I guess.

Friends is God a christian or a Muslim?

Those nations lived in idolatry. When the israelites did theirs, they got smacked too. But for God's tender mercies they would have been totally destroyed!

kay1one2:
Go and read the books of jeremiah and lamentations and see how severely He punished them when they went astray. Israel only became a nation again in 1948 after a terrible Holocaust largely due to them forsaking their messiah as a nation. How is that partial?

kay1one2:
He chose them to bring the saviour of "the world"; all of us, to the world. How is that partial?

Lmao, he sides them in wars, slays a whole race so they can occupy their land and etc. . even call them his own people, what are others?. .lol . . jesus even referred to a non-jewish woman as a dog. .the gate of heaven has 12gates and 12foundations for each of the tribes of isreal. . 144,000 from isreal will rule with him in heaven, 70% of the bible contains jewish mythological history, remaining 30% still on set with the jews. .
and you say thats not impartiality . . why choose one race over another since you created all. . . i think you need to tell us your own definition of impartiality. . . Lol deal with it, its just a jewish concept of god like we have el to be canaanite concept, chukwu to be igbo concept, zeus greek concept. . am sure if it was zeus that was brought here by the missionaries you would still defend him like this

.....that black dark spot go be naija oooo.... no light

Ranchhoddas:
Really.Would you believe me if I told you that we are in the same boat?I am also in UNN and I understand what you are saying perfectly.I'll like to meet this final year student that you met.

Rilwayne001:
This got me really thinking hard as well. But, if one read the story of Abraham (which I don't think you'd like to read or possibly believe), it clears this doubt.

Laughs . . .

I have seen everyone that agreed to be "in" on the project. Now, it is time to keep their promise.

Now, I have a topic.

I believe we all know that during the space of the last 150 years, the human race has increased roughly foiur inches in height and roughly twenty points in IQ. our life expectancy as also sky rocketed. With some countries now having Life expectancies of ninety and above. Infant mortality is also reducing drastically and in advanced countries, babies rarely die except they have serious fatal genetic diseases. Also, on average, people are becoming more and more attractive. Even without plastic surgery, in advanced countries, some of them just look angelic.

Now, here comes my question. One that I think will task the mind of all scientists in all fields.

WHERE IS THE LIMIT?

Let me try and tender my own opinions on this.

Is it possible that sometime in the future, humanity will be as tall as the na'vi in avatar?(ten feet) and the dumbest kid in a class will be smarter than adult Einstein and Newton combined?

I think it can be possible since we know evolution is a slow and steady process but am not sure the average height will be up to 10feet, probably 6'8 or there about.
The intellectual capability of man has improved drastically these last few thousands of years and is expected to improve more drastically during the course of our evolutionary journey. . even other animals are getting smarter.. am sure in the nearest future we would have minds that will dwarf Einstein's with a wide margin but am sure not everyone could be that smart they must be impairment in some due to maybe slower genetic mutation.

Could it be possible that sometime in the future, babies will never die? Or could humanity break the hundred and fifty year limit?

I don't buy the 150 restriction there is no restriction by anything that determines the number of years humans should live. . its a biological phenomena to which every biological organism has its life span expectancy. . Many modern humans have exceeded this 150years life span like Algerian: Mubarak Rahmani Messe (1873- 2014) i also think then life spans of humans will improve in the near future like you postulated.
Its also ok to note that a Russian Billionaire is funding research on ways man can achieve immortality. . .Uuuhm fingers crossed, wouldn't like to live forever tho

Will we be able to run faster than arrows? :oWe will be able to survive for longer periods than we currently do?

Sprinting ability in animals develop due to need for survival basically hunting, humans now are one of the animals that do not depend on basic hunting for survival, we are among the organisms that don't necessarily need to run for food but we are the only organisms to just run for fun (sports) so i doubt if our sprinting abilities will improve. . ancient homo sapiens are known to have ran longer distance which has decreased now due to the reduction in our dependency on this ability and more mechanized means of transportation which we expect to improve , so i postulate our running ability will decrease rather than improve with time.

Will the girls from the future be so pretty that men of now would kill themselves to marry her?

Looks will improve all right but this will be on a more distributed basis so am sure humans has gone pass that stage of killing or fighting to get a mate. . so this improvement in looks and features will be a general improvement

What is the limit to the improvements out species can experience before it degenerates or goes extinct?

They can get to a stage where may be classified to be very different to what we are now but this may take millions of years to get to that drastic stage of evolutionary trend... If humans don't stop and have a rethink about what we are doing to this planet we live in, our species and many others wouldn't survive that long

If all of these are possible, then judging by the progression now, when will it happen? And is other anyway to accelerate it?

Evolution is a slow process or at least with what we think we know, so its likely to take a duration of millions of years. . . And yes accelerating this can be possible through Genetic engineering

Patiently awaiting your thoughts on this.
Please don't disappoint.

We can only try small na

Well that's true but you see the water wheel back then was a bit mobile and could move but the water pumping machine simply pumps water..

Teempakguy:
a question for archeological geologists. The place is all dried up naw, so there is no way for us "laymen" to figure out the past of the landscape. We can only assume.

sure thing lets wait for one to help us out. . . but in my own opinion there likely must not have been a waterfall within the city wall seeing how sun baked those lands were then or maybe it was much greener then than it turned out now. . archeological geologist, someone should help us out oo

Teempakguy:
The hanging gardens might have been built under a water fall or a rapid. From there, they could have tapped the water from above, instead of below.

1miccza:
Like let's have some of them so that we would compare their dynamics and designs a bit..

1miccza:
Why then did they abandon the water wheel? That would have been a very veritable tool for our agriculture especially now when agriculture's coming back in full swing..

I really loved the night earth picture that I had to look for more. Imagine the earth sparkling like this in space! Will be more beautiful than saturn, lol

Lushcream:
No wahala na .... But why do some children tend to act after their dead father even when they never meet same alive.... I want to crudely think such is transferred from the father to the child maybe through gene/DNA or something ?

Teempakguy:
why don't you open it?

Chrisbenogor:
Exactly, actually you find that the world of finding out what happened can be very interesting. With data you try to deduce what happened, you avoid traps like “Correlation does not imply causation”


Anyways I will watch from the sidelines as you guys talk of esoteric stuff.

I am looking for a street way to explain to a kid why our DSTV satellites face the same direction even though the earth is spinning. He asked uncle is it that the DSTV stations are in heaven

Chrisbenogor:
Errr ever cross your mind you do not have enough data to make a very good scientific judgement?

All the proposed solutions y'all will come up with cannot be tested no?

theAtheist101:
Shit!!! But, has he extended the church to Nigeria or Africa? Black asses would be finer to look at.

Please keep my idea secret.

theAtheist101:
I would get die. Nudit* + Christianity = new market/ gullible people.

Lushcream:
Science does not equate Knowledge ..... this is where many Science students get it all wrong ...... Science is just a branch of knowledge i.e a means to knowledge........ Science is just a logical proven knowledge that is devoid of abracadabra even I read some certain axioms are still unexplainable till date with science ............ while with pseudoscience you can get to the root of such axioms but it may be beyond logical realm.

The world is evolving,Knowledge is evolving and keep getting evolved thus you never can decipher the new means to accurate and more precise understanding of phenomena in millions of years to come that will make mankind of those time to realise oooohhhhh Science tried but not definite .......... We of today should not be full of ourselves ....

Mankind of Million years to come may see us same way we are seeing Gorilla

Lol. . bro i never asserted science= knowledge, there are many ways by which knowledge can be deducted. . . i said science = study. . . the gorilla part tho

Teempakguy:
this is a borrowed phone. I am having a network problem on mine. I will upload a picture as soon as my phone gets well.

Lushcream:
I tell people that KNOWLEDGE is the utmost we all sought and can be achieved through Science, pseudoscience, Social Science Art, etc.....

I wouldn't say Science is the most precise as it depends on the intelligentsia of the brain seeking answers but Science is the most logically comprehensible branch of knowledge that is apparent to humankind in this present time.....

Another branch of knowledge bigger than Science may occur in Million years to come or before then .... then we shall throw Science away same way we did Arts.
