ReneeNuttall: The bible does not record any idea of how long ago the earth was created. It only begins keeping records of time from when Adam was created. God had already created the heavens and the earth long before Genesis chapter 1:3 when God began to 'recreate' the earth by speaking and saying LET THERE BE LIGHT. Genesis 1:1 was the beginning when God first created everything on earth including water which you won't find mentioned again as being created during the 6 days of recreation starting from verse 3, because it was already mentioned as being there on earth in verse 2 before God said let there be light. If everything was created in the 6days of creation as some of our Sunday school teachers had erroneously told us (without studying the bible properly), then on which of the 7days did God create the water we see in verse 2 before the 6days of "creation" began In summary, bible scholars believe a lot of things happened in between Genesis chapter 1 vs 1 and vs 3 which were not recorded in the bible, and one of them was the fall of Lucifer. They also believe it's highly likely that God had created other beings on earth before the earth was destroyed by water in Genesis 1:2, and God was merely recreating the earth again when he created Adam. There could be elements of truth in this, but the most important thing is that we don't know how long ago the earth was created, could have been thousands or millions or even billions of years ago |
Science/Technology / Re: Earth Was A 'Waterworld' Covered By A Global Ocean 3.2 Billion Years Ago by nelsonoba: 6:01pm On Mar 03, 2020 |
I honestly don't know how this is coming as "news" or a "new discovery" to these "Scientists". It's been recorded in the bible from thousands of years ago (Genesis chapter 1 verses 1 - 2) that the whole earth was covered in water for a period of time (which we weren't told the duration) between when God first created the heavens and the earth in Genesis chapter 1 verse 1 and Genesis chapter 1 verse 3 when God began recreating the earth and called for dry land to appear out of the waters, and at the end of the RECREATION, God created Adam on the 6th day. I have heard many people who haven't read their bible properly attempt to claim that "the bible said the earth is about 7,000years old", to which I always wonder IN WHAT BIBLE DID THEY SEE SUCH INFORMATION? While we can clearly deduce from the genealogy recorded in the bible from the time of Adam that God must have created Adam about 7,000years ago approximately, that by no means indicates that God created the earth only 7,000years ago. The bible only began keeping record of time from day 1 of earth's RECREATION when God called for light to appear in Genesis 1 verse 3. Between Genesis chapter 1 verse 1 and verse 2 is a period of time we have no idea how long it was. The bible does not record anything about the timeframe inbetween. For those still thinking this is a made up story and that God created everything in 7days, have you asked yourself when within those 7days God created water In verse 2 even before God started recreating the earth and saying LET THERE BE LIGHT, we can already see that water was in existence at that time. Just maybe when people start taking the bible seriously, we'll understand science more. Johannes Kepler, one of the greatest modern scientists who ever lived said "I study science to discover the patterns and principles hidden in God's magnificent creation". Some modern scientists now think "There is no God".........and that is why they are only just discovering what even ancient people who read the bible already knew. |

BeLookingIDIOT: Oga try and use your sense na......this is not a "survey". It is DATA REPRESENTING FACTS. You can go Google the entire list of Nobel winners between 1901 and 2000, then Google the personal lives of each of them. It is fallacy to claim All or most members of academia are Atheists. How many of them have you met personally to confirm? Just because you are a scientist doesn't mean you have to be a fool. Aren't there members of the academia in Covenant University? Aren't there members of the academia in Israel that has the highest number of orthodox Jews in the world? Just because a certain propaganda is continuously pushed by the Western society's mainstream media does not mean it is true. Everyone who went to university in Nigeria or even outside Nigeria probably knows one or more Christian Lecturer they had while in school.

Education / Proportion Of Christian Nobel Prize Winners 1901 - 2000 by nelsonoba: 7:27pm On Feb 10, 2020 |
Whenever I hear the regular lie Atheists have been told that Christianity and science are not compatible or that if you believe in the bible, it means you are stupid or a science-denier, it just makes me feel sorry for whoever it is that is so narrow-minded that they couldn't even look through their history books to access basic factual information beyond what they've been hearing from the biased Left-wing dominated media. BETWEEN 1900 & 2000, THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF NOBEL PRIZE WINNERS WERE CHRISTIANS AND JEWS......AND IT HASN'T CHANGED SO MUCH TODAY. But the Atheist dominated mainstream media and Academic institutions would never want people to know the truth. Each time I remind Atheists that the inventors of the aeroplane were two devout Christian brothers whose father was a Bishop, they always sound surprised to hear it because THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN TOLD THAT BY THE LIARS WHO CONVINCED THEM THAT SCIENCE HAS BURIED GOD. Most of the time when I encounter Atheists who believe they "know and believe in science, and that science has proven God does not exist", I try to engage them in a scientific conversation, and 100% of the time, they turn out to be people who have far less understanding of the laws of science (Maths, Physics and Chemistry precisely) than I do. And at a certain point in the conversation, they always go like "well, I never claimed to have all the answers and science is still evolving"..........but these were people who some moments ago were very adamant that I was stupid and that they had the answers in science and not the bible, and that I was crazy for believing a bible with stories that don't sound "scientific". HOW "SCIENTIFIC" IS IT BELIEVING IN A BIG BANG THEORY YOU CLAIM CAUSED THE APPEARANCE OF THE UNIVERSE WHEN YOU HAVE NO EXPLANATIONS WHATSOEVER TO GIVE WHEN ASKED WHO/WHAT CREATED THE MATTER AND ENERGY THAT CAUSED THIS BIG BANG? WHERE DID THAT MATTER AND ENERGY COME FROM, GIVEN THE FACT THAT BEFORE THE UNIVERSE WAS FORMED, THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING? One of the most ridiculous answers I got from one of these wannabe Scientist Atheists was "well, the matter and energy was there already before the big bang" ���� If the matter and energy were there before the big bang, then the big bang as you claim was not the origin/beginning of the universe because you have just asserted that something existed before it! THIS IS ONE OF THE SO MANY REASONS WHY IT IS VERY HARD TO BE AN ATHEIST IF YOU ARE USED TO EXERCISING YOUR THINKING CAPABILITIES AS AN ADULT HUMAN. IT'S EASY TO FAKE BEING ATHEIST, BUT IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BE A REAL ATHEIST AS AN ADULT . https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco/wiki/List_of_Christian_Nobel_laureates.html

[s] Patrioticman007:[/s] Rantings of a self-delusional ignorant soul who doesn't even appreciate the fact that slavery started long before Christianity, but it only ended because some whitemen who believed in the Judeo-Christian values for human life in the 19th century decided there was no justification for carrying on with slavery. Abraham Lincoln, a Republican who believed in the bible went to war with his fellow whitemen to ensure there was an enforcement of the ban of slavery. Without white Christian men like Lincoln, you would still have slavery going on today because there was absolutely no indication that our fellow black men who were slave raiders had any intention of quitting their lucrative trade of capturing black people and selling them to whitemen to be transported abroad for forced labour. 1 Like |

recievesense: Ok.....so you've sent me articles from the Radical Leftist New York Times that does not attempt to hide their hatred and bias against Trump? I had asked you to tell me which lies he told for which he should be impeached, but your article was not specific. One of the things your article said is that "No one believes Trump". That statement alone shows me that the New York Times is so far Left that they are now out of touch with reality. So no one believes Trump, but he promised he was going to bring back jobs while Obama was campaigning and ridiculing him saying "what magic wand does Trump have to bring back those jobs he claims he will bring back"? And today we know the American economy is at its strongest in many decades. Unemployment is the lowest in 50years and unemployment for Black Americans is at its lowest in history. Trump said he will build the wall, and we have all seen videos of the border wall being built even though it's not going as fast as Trump may want cos Congress is deliberately trying to starve the project of funding. So all these promises from Trump were lies?? And you mean to tell me no one believes Trump, but his campaign rallies are always packed full even to overflow whereas Joe Biden and other Democrats struggle to fill a 5,000 capacity venue in their campaigns?? You obviously haven't been seeing Trump's rallies, and that is why you can deceive yourself to come and say no one believes Trump. If Trump was the liar that New York Times and CNN claim he is, why then is his popularity increasing? In case, you are not aware, Trump's favourability among black Americans as at December 2019 was at 34.5% according to Rasmussen poll......up from 8% in 2016.

DexterousOne: For a start, The US is far more prosperous and powerful than China in every sense.....except maybe in terms of 5G technology. The only area where China is more than the US is in population. And even with almost 5times the population of the US, China's GDP is still not up to 70% of the US GDP. Secondly, you talk about China being a model of development, let me ask you; what sort of development is that when the citizens are not free? In China, you are policed by the state, you can't criticize the government without going to jail. You can't freely practice any religion of your choice as you wish. You can't decide to have 5 children if you so wish without being frowned upon by the government. You can't work and keep most of your profits to yourself because of excessive taxation by the communist government which believe every citizen is working for the state. What sort of "development" is that?? I would rather have the type of development the US offers where I can thrive and enjoy personal liberty than the sham offered by China. Africa is religious and backwards, but you also forget that North Korea is Atheist and very backwards. The average Nigerian under Buhari's failed government lives a far better life than the average North Korean who is not a top member of the ruling communist worker's party. Go and check this fact and stop using religion as a yardstick in your fake analysis. America is more religious than Nigeria, but they are prosperous because they follow the principles of prosperity outlined in the Judeo-Christian values whereas in Africa, most religious people do not understand principles! The Judeo-Christian principles for prosperity will work for any society that applies them, whether that society is very religious or not, it doesn't matter! God is not a respecter of persons, so his principles will work for anyone who applies them. This is why rain falls on both good and wicked people. America is great because they understand these principles as a nation and apply them. And just to mention one of these Judeo-Christian principles that America applies - Foreign Aid! America is the largest foreign aid donor by far! One of the principles of prosperity apart from hardwork is GIVING! God said if you give, it will be given back to you in good measure pressed down shaken together and running over. The same bible says that it is more blessed to give than to receive. The same bible says the hand that gives is greater than he that receives.

salford1: You must be talking about another Europe. Certainly not the Europe on planet earth. And very specifically, I said Western Europe, which seems to have the most developed countries of Europe. Let me ask you; have you ever heard any European president or prime Minister give a speech and end it with "God bless you" or "God bless Britain" or "God bless _____ country"? But when American Presidents give a national speech, they would usually end with "God bless America". Donald Trump himself constantly says it in many of his speeches that "In America, we don't worship government, we worship God". Which other European country have you heard their president say such kind of thing? And to be clear, when I say "believe in God", I am not talking about any kind of god. I mean the Judeo-Christian God. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. So you don't need to bring in the middle eastern countries. And even if you decide to bring in middle eastern countries, look at Israel, the only free democracy in the middle east, and the most technologically advanced nation in the middle east.

Family / Re: My 14-Year-Old Daughter Was Caught In Hotel With Boys, Smoking, Drinking by nelsonoba: 4:25pm On Jan 25, 2020 |
Gaggi: 100% true! I can use myself as a practical example. I was born into a dysfunctional home where my mother and father were not married. They were just doing boyfriend and girlfriend even though my father was already married to another woman at that time and my mother was already divorced from her previous husband. My mother had 3 kids before she met my father from her divorced marriage, and she then had me and my younger sister for my dad. My father was never a part of our growing up and my younger sister and I were both exposed to a lot of things kids should not be exposed to, and to be honest, there was every opportunity for us to become wayward. But guess what? As at when I was 12 years old, I gave my life to Christ and I had enough sense to tell myself that I don't want to live the kind of life my mother and father lived. I was determined to correct the lifestyle instead of living the same life of my parents and blaming them for not showing the right example for me. I was fortunate enough to have other distant people in church I could look up to, and they made me understand that if I don't want to end up the same way my parents did, I must find out what they were doing wrong and do the opposite. At this point, I concluded that I WILL NEVER HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH PREMARITAL SEX. SEX MUST BE WHEN I GET MARRIED. By the time my younger sister was 19, she had gotten pregnant for her boyfriend and had to drop out from school, only to go back years later. I got married at 32 and my wife was the first woman I had sex with on that wedding night. It was not easy, and things almost happened in my previous 2 relationships that would have made me cross the line when the temptations were so intense, but thank God for his Grace that helped me on those two occasions and I was able to stop the kissing and touching that had already started and was almost certainly going to have led to sex. What I want to highlight here is this; me and my sister were exposed to the same dysfunctional home experience, she chooses the wrong lifestyle and ends up getting pregnant out of wedlock twice while I chose to say no to the wrong lifestyle in order to make something good for myself. LIFE IS ABOUT CHOICES. YOU MAY COME FROM A POOR OR DYSFUNCTIONAL BACKGROUND, BUT YOUR CHOICES CAN CREATE THE OPPOSITE RESULTS FOR YOU. There is only so much we can blame parents for. The best gift any parent can give a child is not expensive mobile phone or gadgets, but rather helping them to know Christ. There are so many nonsense in a teenager's life that a genuine relationship with Christ will automatically correct. Today, I find a lot of adults who are my age mates or even older and they are just beginning to understand some wisdom and sense about life that I already understand when I was a teenager simply by studying my bible.....especially the book of Proverbs 8 Likes 1 Share |

Albert0011: Britain was like the US until from the period around World War II, when most of Britain and Western Europe began throwing away their old values centred around belief in God, and they started embracing atheism. From that period onwards, the power disparity between The US and Britain began to increase. Today, the GDP of the US is more than the Combined GDP of all countries in Europe combined. Unfortunately, we still have some idiots in Nigeria who now tell us that when societies embrace atheism and get rid of religion like has been largely done in Britain and Western Europe, that such a country would experience fast development.
