MindHacker9009: Don't blame these adults joor they are still small children, who feel the supernatural does not exist, they have not had an experience yet that will make them to believe. I was like them too before till many years after I was with a jezebel that my eyes were finally opened that the events I was seeing and experiencing were not natural. When I first met this jezebel she told me she goes to a white garment church and that they go to the bar beach to pray, to me I just thought these women with they stories, also she told me they have oleys (not sure about the spelling) now I have realised they are their fortune tellers in their white garment church. If I did not have the experience I had with this jezebel I too will be saying here too that people don't have access to the supernatural.
Since you have experience it why do still need to believe it? You only believe what you lack knowledge on.
Kobojunkiee: Scientists Discover Genetic Secret of Virgin Birth By UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE AUGUST 8, 2023
While the concept of virgin birth has been historically linked to religious narratives like the birth of Jesus Christ to the Virgin Mary, researchers have now discovered a genetic trigger for virgin births in fruit flies. Once activated, this ability can be passed down to subsequent female generations. When devoid of males, these flies opt for virgin birth, a survival tactic ensuring the species’ continuation.
For the first time, scientists have identified a genetic cause of virgin birth, and once activated, this ability is inherited by subsequent generations of females. Scientists have managed to induce virgin birth in an animal that usually reproduces sexually: the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.
Once induced in this fruit fly, this ability is passed on through the generations: the offspring can reproduce either sexually if there are males around, or by virgin birth if there aren’t.
For most animals, reproduction is sexual – it involves a female’s egg being fertilized by a male’s sperm. Virgin birth, or ‘parthenogenesis’, is the process by which an egg develops into an embryo without fertilization by sperm – a male is not needed.
The offspring of a virgin birth are not exact clones of their mother but are genetically very similar, and are always female.
"We are the first to show that you can engineer virgin births to happen in an animal – it was very exciting to see a virgin fly produce an embryo able to develop to adulthood, and then repeat the process,” said Dr Alexis Sperling, a researcher at the University of Cambridge and first author of the paper.
She added: “In our genetically manipulated flies, the females waited to find a male for half their lives – about 40 days – but then gave up and proceeded to have a virgin birth.”
In the experiments, only 1-2% of the second generation of female flies with the ability for virgin birth produced offspring, and this occurred only when there were no male flies around. When males were available, the females mated and reproduced in the normal way.
Switching to a virgin birth can be a survival strategy: a one-off generation of virgin births can help to keep the species going.
The study was recently published in the journal Current Biology.
To achieve their results, researchers first sequenced the genomes of two strains of another species of fruit fly, called Drosophila mercatorum. One strain needs males to reproduce, the other reproduces only through virgin birth. They identified the genes that were switched on, or switched off, when the flies were reproducing without fathers.
With the candidate genes for virgin birth ability identified in Drosophila mercatorum, the researchers altered what they thought were the corresponding genes in the model fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. It worked: Drosophila melanogaster suddenly acquired the ability for virgin birth. https://scitechdaily.com/scientists-discover-genetic-secret-of-virgin-birth/
Sperling stated that although recent research has discovered a way to “switch on” virgin births in fruit flies, it is unlikely that this approach will work in mammals, even though parthenogenesis has been observed in animals such as lizards and honey bees.
“Mammals are very separate and it is not a natural occurring phenomenon,” said Sperling. However, she said that the research helped to “understand the beauty of life itself” and “this different type of reproduction.
[quote author=gisevak post=125658877]Is this your scientific proof or explanation on why we dream? LWhy do you think dreams need to have a why? It's already called "dream". Why do rain fall? Why do you have desires?
"Supernatural"is a word some people especially christians use to delude themselves into believing all the stunts they call miracles in their edited books.
gisevak: I am not a christian. I am an agnostic. Your concept is dogmatic!!! You are not talking to a christian!!! Stop deceiving and misleading people in this platform. Answer the questions I put up there Mr Know All.
An Agnostic is someone that believes the position of agnosticism
Kobojunkie: What is your proof of the conclusion reached by you? You never went to the triangle yourself to experience and conflrm any of what you claim though. You simply based it on opinions that seem favorable to you. Again, the supernatural is not of physical space or measures and so it is ludicrous to assert that since Mr. A and Mr. B do not believe, a conclusion can be reached stating the supernatural does not exist.
I see the image you posted suggests you go there and experience it yourself so you can definitively add your own experience to that of those who had no supernatural experience whatever at the triangle..
this is foolishness, have you also gone to the bermuda triangle to experience this "supernatural"? Who are the people that termed it "supernatural"? On what basis is it "supernatural"?
Get some education, there are other places that does exactly what bermuda triangle does and it has an explanation.
Kobojunkie: The supernatural as the name implies is not of physical measurable space but of experience which tends to be a lot more subjective than most are willing to accept . So it is utterly ludicrous to claim that since A and B said it is not real, it then must not be real. It is better to shut up about these things than to insist your conclusion is the right one.
So have you also experience this "supernatural"? What are the characteristics to know if it is "supernatural" Before now, the way water gets into the coconut is "supernatural" but it has been debunked If you lack knowledge on the thing you experience,the next thing is to call it "supernatural"? Don't you think it's ridiculous to claim something is "supernatural" without proving it, or is it the modern definition that matters which was coined by christians.
Kobojunkie: Yes oh! From its very inception, even the religion of Christianity has remained a tool used by the politically minded to wield power and control over their fellow men. No matter what their title of choice, all religious leaders are nothing but politicians hiding behind the name and mentions of God to deceive and delude the gullible.
Yes oh! Even the books that made it to the canon of new testament were written by political minded men of the religion of christianity to delude the gullible into worshipping a jewish man.
The purpose of why I went to the roots of the word atheist is because theists have a way of making it seem like a demeaning title, but if it is bared out then we can all understand where the word came from and how it is been used now.
22jumpstreet1: that is where you don't want to learn..
what where they arguing about prior to nicea
I don't want to learn rubbish.
Iraneus predates Eusebius, and he used the book of mark. He was the one that chose the specific 4 gospel book. He claimed only four in number; according to Romer, "like the four zones of the world, the four winds, the four divisions of man’s estate, and the four forms of the first living creatures – the lion of Mark, the calf of Luke, the man of Matthew, the eagle of John."
It's you that should be humble and learn. I ask again, where are you getting this jargons? Olumba olumba?
According to the most usual definition, an atheist is a person who maintains that there is no God, that is, that the sentence “God exists” expresses a false proposition. In contrast, an agnostic [in the epistemological sense] maintains that it is not known or cannot be known whether there is a God, that is, whether the sentence “God exists” expresses a true proposition. On our definition, an atheist is a person who rejects belief in God, regardless of whether or not the reason for the rejection is the claim that “God exists” expresses a false proposition. People frequently adopt an attitude of rejection toward a position for reasons other than that it is a false proposition. It is common among contemporary philosophers, and indeed it was not uncommon in earlier centuries, to reject positions on the ground that they are meaningless. (Edwards 2006: 358)
I was talking about the root of the word atheist from atheos, what the a and theos means. And before that statement I also explained the definition of god, and how it evolve to God.
22jumpstreet1: me think that worshipping a man as god is tantamount to idolatry and should be counted as a sin... whether he be black or white or Asian.
what do we think?
Your profile picture, I don't think it's ying and yang that is most important but wuji and taiji.
22jumpstreet1: The Greek traditions and myths has a strong connection to Christianity from its foundation.....but it wyriting the new testament they still went to Babylon.
22jumpstreet1: i took the time to go through your thread on theos101. i realized that there are so many things you are ignorant about and the little you know you muddle it up with different screen short that does not have any thing to do with the discussion at hand and most times off point.. i say so because i have seen some of your comments here and mentions. Leaves so much to be desired. that not withstanding, i do share your beliefs about angels and demons beings emotions, but on the whole you are still a rough diamond. if you can just be humble and learn ...but you must be patient and willing....
Sumerian tradition/civilization is the first...all other originate from it...
knowing how to readt is one thing. Understanding is another..
Where did you read that sumerian tradition is the first? Heard of ubaid period? Gobekil tepe?
In the theos101 thread, what exactly is wrong? show me with the correct facts.
MindHacker9009: Experience is the best teacher. You need to experience it yourself and without such you won't know there are people that can communication with demonic spirits for divination and for remote mind control.
How were you able to experience it and already knew to tag it /demonic spirit"? What are the characteristics to look out for?" what you are experiencing is not the same as the language and words you are using which has abrahamic religion connotations.
Babalawos: You can call it madness and dangerous superstition but it is real. I hope my post was educating?
Why are they not using it to curse politicians that steals money and caus hardship for people leading to death and sickness. Ayelala should be more enraged.
MindHacker9009: Before I would have laughed at this confession below but now I believe it is 100% true as I have found out the hard way that demomic activities are real. I was naive before looking for Jesus Christ by trying different churches not knowing these are the people operating in all such places. Well I thank God Almighty whom I had to filter out from the diffrent God/gods in the Old Testament, that directed me to youtube where I found out that the Jesus Christ I have been looking for is a pagan idol invented by the Roman empire.
Here is a confession by a pastor called chidubem okwu who narrated his life story of how he was initiated into occultism by his General Overseer senior friend and mentor. He talked of how he went to the Bar Beach in Lagos one night and slept with a mermaid physically and thereafter the mermaid made the sign of the cross on her head touching her vagina the mermaid left me went to the general overseer and brought out a golden cross and chain from her stomach and wore it on the neck of the general overseer who gave her some money the mermaid thanked him and went back to the sea. And from then on he too began to operate in powerful “gifts” of “touch and fall”, “look and follow”etc. The only thing the mermaid told him was that he had to renew the power once a month by sleeping with a virgin and married women.
annyplenty: You have listened to the message. Provide the scripture that says Jesus will not come. Have I directed you to any message to go mad listen to? I quote scriptures here that everyone can read and make reference to.
The video not only quotes verses, it also explains the history behind those writings. As you know most "scripture" are written by unknown people.
