Auroras are natural light display in the sky (from the Latin word
aurora , "sunrise" or the Roman goddess of dawn ), They are two types of auroras.

1. Aurora borealis (Northern lights) that occurs near or at the north pole of the planet

2. Aurora Australis (Southern lights) occurs near or at the south pole.

It is no doubt that this is one of the wonders of the natural world..
Bright colourful dancing colours in the sky, a pity it's probably will never happen in Africa or nigeria..

Below are pictures of this wonderful natural phenomenon

God did not create evil(he can but he wouldn't ) infacte satan did not create Evil either,God allow it to happened for man to have option to choose between Good and evil, there is not a SINGLE verse in the bible God say the present world will experience peace,God only want us to make peace with Him.

So you are saying diseases, parasites and co just appeared on their own?

@hiswordxray,

the problem with most christians, and most atheists that were formally christians, is that they are 'sola scriptura'; they believe the bible contains all the works and history of GOd and never bothered to read further. If they did, they would discover the awesomeness of GOD and develop an even deeper relationship with him.



many of these atheists that scream out on these threads and sorry to say, some of the christains too...are mushroom people. They get just a little knowledge and they start running helter-skelter with it, thinking they have discovered something no one else has. They are like mushrooms that begin to grow rapidly with the littlest nourishment they get, but wither quickly because they have no real deep roots. it is the imperfection of man that sees him gathering a little knowledge or power and suddenly feeling he knows more than anyone else around him (e.g johnydon22 that was a catholic only a few moments ago and now one of the most prominient fore-runners for atheism/humanism on this forum ).


i dey find your trouble in case you didnt get the hint @johnydon

Lol seriously why resorting to ad hominem? .... hahahahahahahaha make you and hiswordxray go figure out whether adam na first man or not first...:

Na my trouble you wan find sheeey.. oya take touch go look for am ...

About to open another thread in science section abeg...

But before i go leme drop this

menesheh:
Are u still minding that fictitious, obsolete and stone age story of the Bible. This kind of stories filled every verse of the Bible.


In the voice of Richard Dawkins "how can one believe the ideas of the stone age in a modern age"

Just playing along with em, you know questions make em go confused... lmao

Adam was not the first man God created.

Hiswordxray:
My brother please compare your statement to this verse:
"45 And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit." (1Cor 15:45).

[size=20] You sirs, have to decide already... is adam the first man or not.. how come both of you have reference from the bible to prove your analogies[/size]

I dont see any reason anyone will give for hurting children. They are innocent.

But people are here trying to justify it..

swaggzo:
we we're taught that He ( GOD ) foresees all things before they happened. He saw that Adam and Eve would break the rules he gave them even before creating them.. And you tell me they were designed to never die but theirs sins caused a change in plans.
The theory would even be better this way... He started to let death happen knowing that without diseases and wars and death, the earth is gonna be filled up some day. Don't you like it this way? After he knew that all this things would happen ( since He sees all things before time ) but he still went on to make man and give rules He knew they were gonna break.

Now how on earth should we continue to believe such theories my dear Friend?
I think its always better to keep mute than to come in public to try to defend Christianity cuz the more you talk things the more you expose the f00l in you.
I mean no harm.

You cannot teach anybody how to think, you can only mak them think

swaggzo:
sometimes we just have no other options than to stop believing and ask questions.









Do you understand now?
I can say Christianity is confusing.
Why would the maker make something so beautiful only to make another thing that's gon cuz destruction to the beautiful thing he made.

we as believers sometimes have no other choice than to stop believing for a moment and ask questions.. instead of clinging to bullshiit like moronns!

the new covenant of God is love ,the messages Jesus teaches is a good moral messages which is a influence to million of people infacte the messages of the apostles is Love

what is the hope of atheism? There are many atheists who are into drugs and hard life, can you provide one testimony of an atheist overcomes this behaviour?

they are billions of christians into these stuffs too.. Infact 95% of all crimes are being committed by theists. in us prison only about 1.5% are atheists... Am still wondering what you mean by hope here..

Do you know how you feel after being in the sun for a long time then gets home, takes a cold shower and a cold drink and relax, thats exactly how atheism feels. "Relaxing and freedom"

You can go about believing stuffs because it gives you hope u will get a golden mansion after you are dead just like muslims are hoping for 72virgins, thats your own cup of tea..lol

People will believe a lie becaise they want it to be true, or because they fear it might be true- Zedicus Zul Zorranda (legend of the seeker)

malvisguy212:
The Bible challenges believers to "Test everything" and "Hold on to the good." God Himself in His revelation to Isaiah stated, "Come now, and let us reason together..." The very reason why atheists attack Christianity above all other religions is because Christianity directly challenges the atheist's assertion that belief in God is irrational.

When it comes to morality, atheists tend
to be very quiet about what role atheism plays in shaping their personal morality.
You won't find atheists saying that their
atheism was influential in getting them
off of drugs, stopping their alcoholism
and ending their addictions to pornography, gambling, or any other
personal moral fault. The fact is that
atheism has no power at all to change
personal morality (in a positive way).

what?

seriously if you need anybody or religion to guide you morally then you honestly do not have human empathy in you.

swaggzo:
you don't have further options, it seems.

Hey common lets discuss here.. So you think diseases started on their own without a creator?

swaggzo:
I do not have to reply this.. my other posts says it all

Nope actually ur post gave rise to the question...

swaggzo:
sometimes we just have no other options than to stop believing and ask questions.

then since you think diseases came out on their own independent of any creator, Don't you think life evolved on its own independent of all the creators mythology have attributed it to.

...

plaetton:
This swaggzo dude doesn't Understand simple biology, otherwise, he would not try to seperate parasite from the disease that it causes, nor claim that diseases start on their own.

am surprised ..

swaggzo:
I drifted from your parasite issue my friend.. get me clear. I talked about all diseases.

Still yet thought this your god created everything, how come diseases came into existence on their own without being created by your god?

swaggzo:
have you ever wondered how and why a man would build a house, only to leave a cooking stove lighted in the kitchen all day knowing that the house will be engulfed by fire from the lighted stove one day, but still hopes it doesn't ??

You wanna liken your supposedly omnipotent god to the limitations of a man?

Lmao.. so this your god created everything but disease started on it's own? that means he didnt create everything as claimed... meaning not omnipotent..

5minsmadness:
dude, why go that far when our neighbor alpha centauri is right there asking to be visited? a nice binary star system with a lone planet (maybe more?) and just 4.7light years away?

have been looking for the ancient mayan structures, haven't found them yet but you'd be amazed how much info points to mayans having made contact with aliens in their ancient writeups and artifacts!

Lol i guessing you know what it is to visit alpha centauri... Who wanna spend a thousand years without getting to ur destination?

You wanna try? na only you go shaa... i no go follow

Weah96:
So they were able to locate one dead body after 4000 years simply by identifying a stone lodged in the forehead of the corpse? SMH.

We have refuted and exposed this shiiit more than a thousand times..they keep getting dumber everyday

People should disgracing themselves..

swaggzo:
Hahaha... This post funny sha.
I do not think that diseases were made by the creator. They probably just developed, he let them happen so.

So they just started on their own without needing a creator but you think life cant start on its own without neeing a creator... Hhmmm seems legit

THE STORY OF HOW DAY AND NIGHT BEGAN (Igbo folklore)
Folklore is a way most cultures preserve their cultural background and mythology.
The Igbos are rich in mythologically rich folklores and i was opportune to hear some from my parents.
I believe in this our 21st century, the age of computer and wonderful technologies. it's our duty to preserve our folklores and mythology and convey them to our children and their children after them when we might be called grand-pa/ma.

This is a story you might find in different versions from different Igbo communities but let me tell the story based on what my dad told me. hope you enjoy it.

The hurricane lamp glowed with little tip-toeing amber light flickering on it casting a yellowish-gold amber light around the room, Papa's eyes sparkled from the glow, i sat quietly on my young tender legs curled in a lotus manner, my brothers and sisters sat around looking at papa. all was quiet, then papa began

[size=13]Long ago when the skies were still land for squirrels, the world was young and the trees were brighter and greener, the sun was gentler and dimmer, bird songs filled the air.

Their was no day or night, people lived and slept anytime they want without any time determining phenomena.

A certain old widow lived in a village, she was wealthy as she was kind even tho her husband was dead. She had many servants and workers taking care of her wealth but yet she lacked just one thing.

Many years after her marriage to her husband they had no child until her husband's death. she was unhappy tho she lacked nothing materially.

One day by the advice given by one her servants she visited a very powerful dibia (native/witch doctor). who after some necessary sacrifices and incantations referred her to the land of ekwensu. **Ekwensu is the trickster and cunning/mischievous god in igbo pantheon)

"When you get to the land of ekwensu, you will see many choices of children. handsome ones, ugly ones, beautiful ones, handicapped and many more, but when you get to the land of ekwensu, you must wait until you hear mild ringing sounds then you can enter, but if you are hearing drum-like sounds you must never enter" The shaky voice of the dibia warned.

The old woman journeyed to the land of ekwensu, after many moons (months) of waiting the soft ringing sound became audible replacing the drum-like sounds that have been sounding for many moons she was there.

She walked into ekwensu's land and met the god. Ekwensu told her all the good children he had went on an errand, she should go back and return later unless she would like to take the handsome boy standing at a corner but he was full of mischief, had a raging blood lust and magical abilities.

The woman after many minutes of thinking chose to take the boy instead of waiting many more moons before the next ringing sound or going home empty handed. The child was given to her making her very happy to have a handsome son now that will inherit her wealth.

The boy grew handsomely and strong, after many years his lust for blood crept in.
He started by beheading his mother's chickens one by one, the woman thought he would be ok once the chickens are all dead but he moved to the goats afterwards. Then he started with the cattles until all the old woman's live stocks were all beheaded.

He started beheading the slaves, moving into the village beheading people subduing them with magical charms until finally he beheaded his mother.

An old witch that lived in the outskirts of the village knew the evil boy would come for her soon and was not ready to loose her head to a little boy so she spent her time making charms that would make darkness fall so she can escape the evil boy.

As expected the evil boy visited the old woman with sharp shimmering blood ridden matchet charging towards the old woman.

She threw her charm on the ground and darkness fell making the boy not to see where she was.
The boy being a magically inclined being threw his own charm and light restored.

They kept on doing this for days, throwing the charms at interval inducing light and darkness. the woman was determined to survive but the boy was bent on having her head.

The 7th day of their struggle, worn out and tired. Both of them tiredly threw their charms together causing it to explode suddenly. the light and darkness stuck to the world permanently turning the woman to a cricket and the evil child vanished forever.

And that is why till this day; The light and darkness charm shared the day into two equal parts coming out at interval because their is none that can stop them anymore.
That is why we have day and night in the world now..[/size]

And you know them to be spirits how? How r u not sure they are extra-terrestrial beings that ancient man called spirits?

I don't believe their is anything like spirits as you may well know already.

If you are now likening your god and cherubs to extra-terrestrials in a far distant planet then i guess Mormonism and Scientology will fit you well bro.

5minsmadness:
Any Christian that believes there are no extra-terrestials because 'the Bible didn't say so' must be extremely myopic.

To begin with, the bible does mention extraterrestrials. God himself is not of this earth. Then there are cherubim and seraphim, angels and demons. All the above are not of this earth and can be deemed 'extra-terrestial'.

Secondly, the Bible is a message given to this earth but not exclusively. I read a book a long time ago about a second eden on another planet where another Adam was not deceived into eating the forbidden fruit. I don't read those kind of book anymore sha but even without that example it is obvious the bible centres more on man's salvation on this earth alone. It doesn't mean God didn't continue creation elsewhere, what would be the point of creating all the other stars and solar systems?

please let us not argue religion here. . lets discuss the topic at hand.
Btw speaking of extra-terrestrial we are talking of physical life forms, all this you mentioned cherubim and co are termed spirits.

I do hope you are aware that there is recruitment going on right now for those who want to take the maiden voyage to Mars?

Naaah i dont want to go to mars yet, until i know it is 157% safe and i can still come back to my earth. . i want to be an astronomer in space not go to mars voyage to establish a human colony. . maybe in the nearest future a trip to mars might be as easy as going to the U.S then i will go and check it out.

@joe4christ.

Find and read the book HIDDEN CREATURES. You'll be amazed.




Do you know the mayans(or Aztecs, one of them) which were an ancient civilization built funny shaped buildings that never made any sense until man began going to the moon and one day a picture of the buildings/ruins was taken by a descending satellite and it spelt out WELCOME in mayan language? The only way those wordings could be appreciated was if the visitors whoever they were, we're coming from high up the atmosphere down to earth. So why did the mayans build such a structure?

The possibility of extra-terrestrial life is undeniable. . it is impossible we are the only ones in d entire universe.. we might even be just one out of billions of different life forms that exist out there. . .maybe we are not even the most intelligent or the most complex and somewhere in some planet some life forms or species might be in ther early stage of evolving. . .can post me a pic of such mayan structures.. am curious?
Below is a pic of great andromeda galaxy nearest largest galaxy to earth and the farthest thing seen from earth with the naked eyes. it is home to billions of stars likewise planets.. approximately 2.5million light years away.. thats alot of distance. (pic from hubble telescope).. tiny light dots you see all over the pics are galaxies millions of light years away.

we are discussing extra-terrestrial life here https://www.nairaland.com/2204696/signs-water-jupiters-moon

joe4christ:
About your question, you seem surprise seeing aliens speaking english, has it ever occured to you that there could possibly be beings more intelligent than us in the universe who atimes do observe our development for thousands of years, who know our history better than us and possibly have spies dwelling among us who put on our form as diguise tactics to be able to comfortably relate with us and learn our ways, what if we are actually a course of study to extra-terristorial existence outside our galaxy
Well, i've learnt from my research that there are lots of them living amongs us, you think it's everyone you come across that is truly human? I learnt for centuries they've been with us and have been helpful in our development, both in science and technology, so dont underestimate this report, by labelling it as false, or how would you possibly explain The Pyramid of Egypt, that architecture couldn't have been feasible thousands of years ago...
I believe there's more to life than we are truly aware of.

this sir is assumption and wishful thinking

Pr0ton:
Wow.. That's a very high possibility. And hope research is going on on them.

that number rounds in billions when the possible habitable planets outside our own galaxy are included.. all we need now is the tech to detect the result we are searching for..

Pr0ton:
H2O and CH4 give the possibility of life. Those pics give undisputable evidence that water and running water did exist on Mars.

And you know what, if eventually scientists get an incontrovertible evidence that life exists/existed on Mars, religion collaspes.

It's not even about religion collasping.. its about the priceless wealth of knowledge it will unravel. . . I am eagaly awaiting this to happen and i hope to be part of the team unravelling this knowledge soon..

i love this life @pic and i hope to be there soon

Pr0ton:
Yh, true. It'd be different here on earth. It takes time and intelligence to comprehend life "out" there. And scientists are on it, I deem.

I am betting on the possibility of life here in our local solar system.. just in our milky way galaxy millions of planets that in the habitable zone orbiting their respective parent stars have been detected..

Rilwon:
Though you dont believe the two accout, But if you are to choose between the two account, which makes more sense to you ?

None they are both two accounts of the same story.

Rilwon:
Thats true, he believe in after life


okay, av you obtain your PVC?

lol am not interested in voting... have more scientific studies to do.
