If women were not created from Adam's rib, why is it that men have one fewer rib than women?
You are not asking questions you are just deluding yourself because women and men have the SAME number of ribs. . . .

Shut up you deluded FOOOOOL. . . . .

Godmouth:
@Mazaje:

I can tell you for a fact that there is a God. You may ask me: how do I know? I have had several encounters of Him, I have encountered several angels.
You can't tell me for a fact because you simply imagine things. . . You can tell me only one fact and the fact is your have a very strong belief and that belief makes you see and imagine things that are not really there. . . .You have encountered several angels? Pls tell me how they look like and what language they speak?. . . .


God speaks to me just as a man speaks to his friend. These things I am telling you are what you read in the bible: however they are happening to myself and many other people across the whole world today.
I have read so many accounts of people that claim to have seen God or went to heaven and hell. . .I was raised by an end of day enthusiasts who has so many of such books, a simple reading of those books tell you that the authors are not just deluded lairs but outright crazy people. . . .They just imagine things up and write them to make money or seek fame. . . .Their contradictory accounts cancel each other out and are just baseless lies. . .

Let me tell you something: you are saying God does not exist because you do not know him, and from the way you have replied in your post, you don't seem to care to want to know Him, so why would He force Himself on you.
I have searched for God more than you can even imagine. . . .Almost went CRAZY when I realized that my beliefs were false, I truly wanted to believe. . . .The bible is false cos most of what is written inside are LIES and a lot of them have been shown to be false. . . .

When you are faced with a helpless situation: e.g your life or that of a loved one is threatened by a terminal illness that has no cure: then you will see that a hope inside of you begins to pray that God should be real and that he should be able to heal you or whoever is involved in the predicament.
I understand the need to believe, but the reality is that there is no God that will help you when in need or in trouble. . .Prayer does NOT work, if it does we will not be here having this argument. . . . .No evidence to show that prayer works at all. . . .If prayers for healing works we will not be here having this conversation. . . .

To encounter God is possible: Open your heart to Him and He will meet with you.
All Gods were created by men. . . .God is a man made invention. . . .

[quote author=aloy/emeka link=topic=759178.msg9141676#msg9141676 date=1315954253]As simple as this may sound, can the Professor explain the process of hair growth on his head? Who created him or even if he is a believer in the evolution school of thought, who created that creature that he evolved from? Who created all the wonderful things we see around us - the mountains, valleys, oceans seas etc. What about the phenomenon of birth and death[/quote]The writer of this article is very DULL. . . . .By the way man has scientifically studied the formation of mountains, valleys, oceans and seas and has provided very credible explanations for their formation without the need for any God. . . .No God's name or signature is to be seen on any mountain, river or ocean. . .People out of reasons best known to them came up with the God idea and creation. . .

Having no explanation for an event means nothing more than we don't know. That's it: we don't know yet. It is ignorant to conclude that god did it. There was a time we couldn't explain anything about the stars. When men were ignorant and didn't know much about biology they ostracized their menstruating women and called them unclean because of lack of basic knowledge of how the female reproductive system works. . . .Another example is assuming nobody really understands gravity. If I tell you that it exists because there are invisible vacuum demons hidden in the earth that cannot be experienced by mere humans, the fact that you cannot disprove that theory, nor replace it with a better one, doesn't make it right. It makes it highly speculative at best, and more likely, just a convenient fiction. The writer of the article can believe whatever he/she wants and I hope that it works for him/her. However, trying to zing people like Wole Soyinka with a God idea that is completely man made may be self-satisfying for the writer, but it isn't very logical at all.
Family › Re: by mazaje(m): 7:35pm On Sep 13, 2011
Leaving your abusive husband when kids are involved in Nigeria is a VERY difficult thing. . . .The man will easily marry another woman and the woman will be maltreating your kids all the time. I have seen it happen so many times, some of the kids are even thrown out of the house and their futures destroyed . . . .The culture of violence against your subordinates that our culture greatly promotes is the cause of all these. . . .Many women accept and also participate in this act of violence, they beat their house helps and younger siblings all the time. .

Wife battery in Nigeria is mainstream and women have come to accept it as part of the culture, you hear women uttering words like"you wan make my husband beat me" all the time without blinking an eye lid. . . .I was raised in the church (I had no life outside the church until I came to Europe) and I can say with all certainty that the churches are really contributing to this mess, saw so many cases of battery where the churches berate the women that try to leave by telling them that they are trying to let the devil win. . . .

God hates divorce is the mantra every where in the churches. . . .You must hold unto your vow that says for better or for worse is always promoted by the churches. . . .No pastor will ever tell you to leave, they will always tell you to pray, fast and expect your miracle that will happen soon. . . .Divorced women are looked up on as bad women. . . . .You hear people saying this like "see her she is divorced" or " she no fit stay for man house". . . .That stigma is the last thing most women will want to be associated with. . . .

Its a hopeless case in Nigeria as far as am concerned doing away with our culture that promotes violence against our subordinates is the only way out, but I don't see that culture changing any time soon. . . .
Family › Re: by mazaje(m): 11:26am On Sep 13, 2011
The problem has a lot to do with our culture. . . . Violence is highly encouraged in our houses, schools, places of work and the society at large, our society teaches us that violence is the only way to  solve our problems, punish and correct our subordinates. . . .Elder children in most homes are allowed to beat their younger siblings when ever they are wrong or offend them. . . . Teachers are allowed to beat their students for all offences, seniors students are allowed beat the junior students and treat them any how in most secondary schools, children and parents are allowed to beat their house helps etc. . . .Beating your subordinate is part of our culture and it is encouraged most of the time . . . .

I saw a man beating his wife publicly in Abuja like 2 years ago in front of his house, there was a police man standing close by and when the police man came the guy said and I quote " I no fit beat my wife again". . .The police man said " Oga na your wife" they guy said yes , after which the police man said "OK no beat her for public cos you dey also embarrass yourself". . .The man entered his car and left. . . .The woman went inside with other women that came to help her and that was how the show ended. . . .Wife battery is not a crime in naija. . . .

Above our culture that highly encourages violence against subordinates is what is responsible for that. . .Beating your wife is just like beating your younger sister to most men and many men don't see anything wrong with it, the women accept it as well because its part of the culture, they grew up with . . . .The sad fact is that the human beings will forever be violent. . . . .

Family › Re: Marriage: Is It Worth It? by mazaje(m): 12:26pm On Sep 10, 2011
Is marriage worth it? I believe it is when married to the right person. . .Is it overrated? I believe it is overrated. . . .Am not married but I believe it is worth it when you are into it with the right partner. . .You will always have some one to count on, share your dreams with, do things together with and that matters a lot,( you can always have some one to do all these things with when unmarried ), but with a married partner it is different. . . .

Having said that, majority of my friends here and in Nigeria are married and I really don't know what is happening with marriages these days, half of my friends here are already divorced and those in Nigeria are always complaining about their marriages, men that hadrly ever complain about anything have now turned into professional nags grin. . .

Then the issue of infidelity, are there married men in Nigeria that don't cheat on their wives?. . . .All my married friends there have girl friends outside. . . .The bottom line is I think most of them are in the marriages for their kids and other societal pressures. . . .One thing I have come to understand about marriage is that it requires a lot of  hard work and dedication(going out of your way to please your spouse) and that is a hard thing to do all the time. Since love is a choice it makes marriage a difficult thing to engage in because most people are naturally selfish and egotistical. . . .But once you have made the choice to love your spouse and carry it out to the best of your ability then marriage can be enjoyed and is a good thing if both partners decide to carry out the choice of loving each other till the end. . . .

Christianity Etc › Re: Pastors Highest Currency Denomination SCAM Exposed! by mazaje(m): 12:35pm On Sep 06, 2011
[quote author=Okija_juju link=topic=751705.msg9089558#msg9089558 date=1315300388]This highest denimination scam is just one of the many scams avaliable to pastors today, Here are some more;

*The wave your offering scam: This is where the pastors askes the members to hold up their offering visibly for God to see it (as against crumpling it and hiding it in the palm of your hands). How this scam works is it plays on the ego of the members who wouldnt want to be seen waiving a #10 or #50 bill, So what you would realize is that a large percent have been coaxed into parting with the highest denominations in their pockets with the less priviledged holding up atleast a #100 bill.

*Mystery of Numbers Scam: This scam has been used by atleast 9 in every 10pastors. This scam is based on the so-called biblical/spiritual mystery associated with numbers, Lets take 5 for example. The pastor would read a passage from the bible that had to do with 5, e.g the 5 bread and 2 fisjes Jesus allegedly used to feed the multitude. The Pastor would then say 5 is the number of increase and ask members to give offerings with the number 5 written on it , Now people would start putting in #50 and #500 bills, Same thing with 7 which they say is the number of perfection (I dont know what scripture they use to back that up), and 12 the number of , (12 tribes of Isreal, ) etc

*The Widows mite scam:: This is scam works well with the Big name preachers who are renowed for their miracles, The pastor would almost always use these words in this scam "Challange God" or "Give an offering that would move the heart and hand of God". The pastor then asks the congregation to part with everything cent on their person and watch the miracle start occuring instantanously, This scam is backed with the story from the Bible about the widow who fed Elijah with the last portion of meal she had and how she was rewarded bountifully,

*The seed faith scam:: Also very popular amongst preachers today. In this scam, you are asked to give a sizable offering as a "seed" to move God to speedily grant you your request. The seed faith scam is so good because it fleeces unsuspecting members of not just the cash they are carrying on their person, but also goes straight to their accounts as people tend to write cheques for this kind of offering,

*The building offering scam:: Virtually every church except the othordox churches take this building offering. Its said that if you build the house of God, he would also build yours, lol. Genuis!

And the list goes on and on and on,[/quote]Nice one . . .

What is a miracle? Juesus supposed cured some leppers, but scientist, Dr. James Lind, and others, found the permanent cure for leprosy that  pavee the  way for  total eradication of leprosy. That is the MIRACLE.
Each time I see a jumbo jet take off and land, I still see it as one of the greatest miracles of all times.
To send an unmanned spaceship 5 billion miles into deep space into another world and then have the spaceship land at exactly the same spot you want it to land is another great miracle of all times. Its is shooting an arrow from lagos  to Australia and hitting your target bulleseye.

Crick and watson and  discovered and isolated DNA(thats a miracle) and we successfully mapped out the entire human genome(thats a miracle) and are now targetting specific genetic diseases for elimination(That would be a miracle).
We ignore the true miracles and focus on the delusions and illusions of conmen.

U said u want to see medical reports, so u waiting for the doctor to bring it to you??
The way i see it, atheists are a lazy bunch of people, they are too lazy to engage in religion so they just relax, making excuses and trying hard not to get convinced.

T[b]he person that died for two weeks and ressurected, was a local pastor, and was brought to life by a very prominent american evangelist, reinhard bonnke, here in nigeria. When it happened, it was broadcast worldwide, videos, tapes, documentaries where made out of it containing real live scenes, testimonies and eye witnesses. U can still google it[/b].
But no, u wont see that kind of news, u will only see what u want to see.
Even the best surgeon in the world, ben carson, attests to miracles!!
It is a lie. . . .The story is a complete lie. . .The guy was said to have been dead for 3 days not 2 weeks, the video is a fraud and the pastor himself a fraud. . .The story has been shown to be a fraud. . . .Read more here. . . .Many people have died in Reinhard Bonnke's crusades in Nigeria.

Muslims and Christians are agreed on one point, that Man cannot harm God, no amount of mazaje denial of fact can hamper God's glory and Majesty.
Christians and Muslims do not even believe in the same God. .Read the bible the God it talks about has a name and his name is Jehovah Yahweh, that God is very different than the Allah God. . . .The bible also talks about God saying Jesus is his son. . .Allah has no son, no?

Yet the Christians break rank when they claim that mere mortal harm their god, to the extent that their god plead to be saved, shouted his frustration and utter blasphemy "my lord my lord why have thou forsaken me" this failure of their god again proves the falsehood of Jesus divinity, Jesus divinity is a man amde tale concocted by the great Liar Paul.

so, why are you guys Atheist?
Because there is NO evidence to show that any God as described and put forth by the theist exist, rather there are countable evidence to show that all Gods and religions are man made. . . .As such absence of evidence is indeed evidence of absence.

i can't imagine living without a God.
No, its not that you can't imagine living without any God, it's just that you can not accept living without what you have been indoctrinated with which later turned out to be your reality. . . .Your religion like other religions has carried on ONLY because of the fear and guilt that it instills upon the believer. Through family traditions for centuries are the reasons why people believe not because the beliefs are true but because it is the way of life of the people. Our parents taught us this things and how to reason along religious lines right from childhood and we accepted them. Most times we become what our parents wanted us to become when it comes to religion just like them. Children are sent to various schools (sunday school or koranic schools) to learn ONLY about their parents religion. NEVER allowed to question, NEVER allowed to learn about other outside the faith or religions of their parents. Taught that fictional or embellished characters like Jesus or Mohammed and the religions that were formed after them were the right and only way or truth. Religious brainwashing 101.


like how do you live life?
I live life any other person, no longer superstitious, believe that anything that man wants to do must be done my man himself, take full responsibility for my actions what ever they might be, I no longer blame imaginary constructs like satan or demons for my misfortunes, am no longer afraid of many things and much wiser now than when i was religious . . . .By the way there is NO evidence what so ever to show that theist are more morally upright than atheist. . . .I live in an atheistic society and it has less crime rate and better gender equality, better justice systems and people have higher rights here than Nigeria which happens to be the most religious country I know. . . .

what do you do when your in trouble or depress?
Trouble always comes. . .By the way there is no evidence to show that those that believe in God are better protected from trouble or misfortune than those that do not, having said that when in trouble, I call on friends or family to help me out when am in trouble, I don't waste my time praying to get out of trouble, I call on people I know will be able to help me to come to my aid most times it works, the people always come to my aid. . . .When depressed, I try to do things that will take my depression away i.e things that will make me happy because I know that life is full of ups and downs. . . . .Above all I try to confront what ever it is that is making me depressed head on, if its something way beyond my power and control I just let it be and over time it will pass. . . .

WHAT are the fact?. . . .That the universe is 6000 years old?. . .You are a joke. . . .
Christianity Etc › Re: Science Confirms The Bible by mazaje(m): 6:07pm On Sep 02, 2011
OLAADEGBU:
Where is your own scientific evidence that the universe is 15 billion years old?  The fact remains that both of us were not there when it all began.  One thing we agree now agree on is that it had a beginning.  The creation and big b'ng model are presuppositions that we have to fall back on.  For a true scientist to do proper science he has to observe, test and experiment.  How will he observe what supposedly happened 15 billion years ago?  You can see that he has no way of proving or disproving what happened in the distant past because he was not present to observe the natural processes or singularity that produced the b@ng.

The Christian scientist has an edge over his unbelieving skeptic because He has the Creator God who gives him an eyewitness account as to what happened in the past to produce what we see in the world today.

Check out the differences in both the evolution and creation models respectively.
Firstly there is nothing like christian scientist, a scientist is just a scientist. . . . . .

Here is what mantraa wrote with regards to the age of the universe from the scientific perspective. . .

"A light year is the distance that light travels in a year at a constant speed of 186000 miles per second. I know that a light year is a measure of distance. A light year is 5,865,696,000,000 miles.
The closest star to Earth (besides our sun) is something like 24,000,000,000,000 miles ( 4 light years ) away. That's the closest star. There are stars that are billions of times farther away than that. When you start talking about those kinds of distances, a mile or kilometer just isn't a practical unit to use because the numbers get too big. No one wants to write or talk about numbers that have 20 digits in them! Thats why it is much more convenient to use the term light years to measure these immense distances.

However, using a light year as a distance measurement has another advantage -- it helps you determine age. Let's say that a star is 1 million light years away. Thats 1 million x 5,865,696,000,000 miles away. The light from that star has traveled at the speed of light (5,865,696,000,000 miles per year) to reach us. Therefore, it has taken the star's light 1 million years to get here, and the light we are seeing left the star 1 million years ago. So the star we are seeing is really how the star looked a million years ago, not how it looks today. In the same way, our sun is 8 or so light minutes away. If the sun were to suddenly explode right now, we wouldn't know about it for eight minutes because that is how long it would take for the light of the explosion to get here.

Light does not travel instantly across the universe. It has a constant velocity of 186000 miles per second. So if the universe was created only 6000 years ago as you claim then the light from stars and galaxies further than 6000 light years away (6000 x 5,865,696,000,000 miles) would not have reached us yet.

The fact that we can see galaxies that are 13 billion light years away means that they are 13 billion x 5,865,696,000,000 miles away and the light from them have been travelling for 13 billion years to reach us. We are seeing them as they were 13 billion years ago, just as when you look up at the sun you are seeing it as it was eight minutes ago.

Do you understand now? I hope that i have explained it well enough for you.

Where is your own scientific evidence that shows that this procedure or method of measurement is wrong? . . . .How is this measurement wrong?. . .

"And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings" (Acts 17:26).
What the hell is this?. . .Firstly blood is NOT race. . . . .No matter how you lie, blood is NOT race. . .By the way even humans all have different blood groups, so you lie when you say people are made from one blood. . .The human blood group is NOT one. . . .There is another scientific error from the bible. . . .

When you look at the level of Y Chromosomes between all the people groups you will realise that their is very little difference between them.  If you look in the mirror and hold a black piece of paper next to your face, do see yourself as black? neither is the Caucasian white.  Folks are some shade of brown, because we all have a brown pigment in our skin called melanin.  This is what makes us the complexion we are.  While some folks have lots of melanin which makes them very dark others don't have as much melanin and they would be lighter in complexion.  Our first parents probably had a medium brown amount of pigment from which they will produce offsprings ranging from very dark children to very light ones.
So white people are not white and black people are not black because holding a paper against a mirror makes the pigmentation disappear?. . .You are obviously confused. . . .The human race is NOT the same. . . . .Its not just the skin color but eye color, hair texture, body size, body odor, etc. . . .Again where is your genetic evidence that shows that all humans descended for one man and one woman?

Therefore, [b]we all do have the same type of skin colou[/b]r, it is just that the amount of brown colour (melanin) differs from person to person.  The difference is only skin deep.
That is a lie, we do NOT all have the same type of skin color. . .What about the difference in hair texture, eye color, etc . . . .

Lets look at what the bible has to say about science. . .What does the bible say regarding ‘Hydrology’? The bible says in genesis, Ch.9, Vs.13 t- 17, that . . . ‘After God, at the time of Noah submerged the world by flood, and after the flood’ subsided, He said. . . I put up a rainbow in the sky as a promise to the humankind never to submerge the world again, by water. To the unscientific person it may be quite good… ‘Oh rainbow is a sign of Almighty God, never to submerge the world by flood again.’ . . . But today thanks to scientific knowledge we know very well, that rainbow is due to the refraction of sunlight on the earth's atmosphere with rain or mist. Surely there must have been thousands of rainbows before the time of Noah. To say it was not there before Noah’s time you have to assume that the law of refraction did not exist which is unscientific.

In the field of medicine, the bible says in the book of Leveticus, Ch.14, Vs No.49 to 53 - it gives a novel way for disinfecting a house from plague of leprosy. . . . disinfecting a house from plague of leprosy. It says that… ‘Take two birds, kill one bird, take wood, scale it - and the other living bird, dip it in water . . . .and under running water later on sprinkle the house 7 times with it. Sprinkle the house with blood to disinfect against plague of leprosy? You know blood is a good media of germs, bacteria, as well as toxins! Unscientific.

Earth was created on the 3rd day of creation according to the genesis myth. How can you have a night and day without the earth ? The day depends upon the rotation of the earth. . . Without the sun created, how can you have a night and day?

All you had to do was to answer my questions and back up your words with scientific facts otherwise you might just continue to take solace in your ad hominems.
WHERE is your scientific method of dating that shows that the dinosaurs lived 6000 years ago?. . . .WHERE is it?
