PastorAIO: I also wonder about the other organs. What is this fixation with the brain as if that is where consciousness or qualia is seated? What if emotions are connected to the state of other organs and glands. The production of adrenaline into the blood can 'cause' anxious feelings. Are the Adrenal glands the source of the feelings?
What about when a part of the brain is damaged and other parts of the brain take up the function of the damaged part? That suggests that these impulses cannot be limited to a location in the brain, and perhaps in the entire body. There is a Wholistic approach of the entire being.
I think human consciousness is a gestalt of both the brain and the entire body.
Image123: So any M.Sc or Ph.D geology would suffice?
Not just academic qualifications, they need to have some output that shows the quality of their work. Published articles in scientific journals is the usual benchmark.
Image123: It's no normal flood, right? It's a global divine flood. The type that covers mountains and has rains for 40days. Again, who is an expert in geology? i don't need you questioning his university or nationality or experience after my efforts. So,let's see your criteria for expert. One man's expert is another man's apprentice.
Why won't we question his credentials? What if he is a fraud how would we know? I am not sure why you don't want me to question, are you uncertain of their expertise?
Image123: Is global flood science? i thought it was divine judgment.
Can't waste such time without specs.
The effects of a global flood would be very scientifically detectable.
Get an expert in geology that has geological evidence for the flood. Next get a biology expert that can show how plants survived the flood with the way the flora is set up now. Let's start with those.
Image123: Have you experienced one before, or know people who experienced one before to be certain of these? What makes one an expert, a Ph.D in science?
Experienced what?
How is "what makes one an expert" a question relevant to this discussion?
A global flood will leave the same footprint all over the globe and not just geologically. Having animals depart and return to their biomes would leave markers. The flora too would also have markers from such an event. These are just the ones that occur to me, I am sure experts in the various fields of science would come up with many more.
Did I not tell you I don't base my faith on scientific evidences, I only told you what science has found out as to whether or not there was a global flood.
LMFAO! By Orion's beard you must be on crack. Bwahahahahahaha!
How can the flooding in a river basin be evidence of a global flood? Are you using your brain or is it the crack talking? LMAO.
Nachmonides: You are unwise. I am using what science has gotten from their findings.
I wouldn't know of those stories save science which has branches such as Geology, Archaeology, and Geography. And they have told us about the stories of several cultures depicting a flood.
And you are pretty disingenuous by telling me geology is what made us to know about those stories. Geology has nothing to do with mythologies and geologists have NEVER found any evidence of a global catastrophic flood. Nor have archeologists but go on keep making a fool of yourself.
Nachmonides: Geological formations, flood myths across cultures including the Biblical story of Noah, the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh, and Greek legends. These are the elements that I know of that suggest it.
Also there are elements that suggest a localised flood.
We wait on science to evolve into the truth of that.
Look at the person talking about how using thermometer to measure love is stupìd but has the gall to suggest that stories are evidence of a supposed physical event. Abeg rest.
Aemmyjah: Consider the composite sign and mention which other century it occured
You're like someone going to a traffic to find someone. The said person is an African American whose name is Sunday. He is tall and bald and wear a dark shade, has a mustache and wearing a red shirt with black jeans. You go to the traffic looking for just any tall, black man
I already mentioned it, look up the late Bronze Age collapse.
Nachmonides: I don't concede that there is no evidence of a global catastrophic flood. Why?—I am not a scientist that finds out about things like that, additionally, the science world has not come forward with a definitive proof of a global catastrophic flood but elements that suggest it.
The burden of proof is on you who wants a scientific proof, we never claimed the bible was a book to be proven by science.
There are no elements that suggest it, stop fooling yourself.
LMFAO! The BURDEN is on you and your favourite book of mythology making the claim.
It is funny how once evidence is demanded some believers turn stupìd.
You seem to love science so much. Science is stupid in many regards.
What do I mean?:
The perceived "stupidity" of science when it comes to abstract concepts like faith often lies in the misapplication of scientific tools to phenomena they are not designed to measure. Science relies on empirical evidence, repeatability, and measurable data, whereas faith often deals with personal experience, spirituality, and beliefs beyond material evidence.
Example: Using a Thermometer to Measure Love
Imagine trying to use a thermometer to measure someone's love for their partner. The thermometer might give you the room temperature or body heat, but it tells you nothing about the depth of their feelings. The problem isn’t with the thermometer—it’s excellent at what it was designed to do. The issue is the mismatch between the tool and the concept being examined.
Similarly, when science tries to evaluate faith using empirical methods, it risks overlooking the subjective and transcendent aspects that define faith, just as the thermometer misses the essence of love.
Same thing with the demand for evidence on religious texts like the Bible which don't seek to be scientific, but theological passing across a message and may include things science may be able to confirm, where the Bible seems to say something (a scenario, event) to be literal, we are to analyse and see if it's something scientific tools can analyse and produce evidence for. If it's not, then either we have misinterpreted the text or science is limited in what it can currently analyse and produce evidence for.
I am an ardent supporter of science, however there are certain points science diverges with the Bible, and THAT IS FINE , it doesn't mean either must be wrong.
You are the one being absurd here. You and your favourite book of mythology claim there was a global catastrophic flood but when asked to produce it you start hemming and hawwing about science and how it is stupid. IF there was a global catastrophic flood the first people who would have found evidence for it would be SCIENTISTS.
You should just concede that there is no evidence of a global catastrophic flood and stop embarassing yourself.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP8KEf1Lr1g The Lagos State Commissioner for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mrs. Toke Benson-Awoyinka has denied reports that she physically assaulted a a man by slapping him for recording her on phone.
In a widely circulated video by Sahara Reporters, the Commissioner was seen asking a man recording her with his phone to leave the premises but the unidentified man responded that no one will leave the venue.
The commissioner who got up from her seat later approached the man and said ‘Maa fo phone owo e’ (I will smash the phone he is recording with’).
An unidentified man was heard shouting ‘How dare you slap him?’.
Speaking to TheScrutiny on Thursday, Benson-Awoyinka said she never slapped or physically assaulted anyone.
“No I slapped no one. Absolutely no one” she said.
ItsTutsi: I’m suffering from erectile dysfunction for about 2 months now, I was very active sexually, all of a sudden this early November, I lost all appetite for sex and can’t get an erection
This has made me very depressed and anxiety has made me lose interest in everything, weak and sluggish. I cant concentrate on anything
