OLAADEGBU:You should be used to this by now. . . , atheists always diverting the topic to very irrelevant familiar grounds. |
huxley2:put yourself in all of these scenarios. . . .what would u do? |
It is a very condemnable act. And in my opinion, It is probably the only evidence u need to know a "church" NOT of God. |
moderator should delete this. . . . . .i have pasted it in the religion board. , . .this is an error. |
For the sake of objectivity, clarity and intellectual emphasis, I asked myself: Why exactly am I not an atheist? Here are the reason's I came up with . . . 1. An Atheist cannot substantiate his belief/disbelief: An theist wonders why a religious belief should be based on faith, salvation and hope alone? A christian's claim of an experience/encounters with the Holy spirit, breakthroughs and miracles are not acceptable for verifiable and scientific reasons. , . . , , anyway this thread is not about christian beliefs. The atheist reckons that all beliefs should be explicable scientifically, intellectually and logically. According to the atheist the christians cannot do this. But I find it difficult to reconcile an atheist's beliefs to proof or evidence. So let us put the atheist belief under the same microscope: what is the scientific, intellectual or logical evidence for the non-existence of GOD? what is the intellectual, rational or logical basis for the non-existence of GOD? The atheist yells: "The burden of proof is on the theist". . . .absolute RUBBISH. Any one who propagates an idea or belief/disbelief has the burden of proof. If u believe God does not exist, . . . . .simply prove it. Over and over again as evidenced on this forum, atheists have refused to bring up this "evidence" of theirs that establishes the non-existence of GOD. It is as such safe to state that atheism is based on FAITH. faith and hope that GOD does not exist. because whatever assertion u cannot prove is a belief based on assumptions fuelled by . . . . Atheism is as "guilty" as the religion it antagonises because it relies on FAITH. 2. Atheism Connotes Ignorance: To discuss/debate a subject you need a basic understanding of that subject. To debate evolution, mathematics or politics, one must at least have an understanding of the subjects involved. It is from this understanding that beliefs and ideologies are created. Take for instance I have a complete understanding of the ontological and implicit nature of obatala, orunmila and ifa (yoruba local gods) which explains my disbelief in these minute gods. I do not subscribe to their potency, relevance or reverence. In other words a belief/lack of belief/ideology is a product of comprehensive understanding. An atheist believes in the nihilance/non-existence of GOD. So can the atheist demonstrate an understanding of the subject involved in this belief/disbelief. Who is Jehovah God? What is His ontology? (ur ontological definition must meet the meta-physical requirements of the atheist community, otherwise it is unacceptable to nairaland christians) 3. The inconsistencies of the atheist's Evolution: Evolution is used to lend credence to atheism, to buttress the belief that there is no GOD. Evolution is the platform that attempts to rubbish the creation story as recorded in Genesis. Evolution mixes LIES with facts. I will not emphasise on these "facts" (but let me state here that changes in the earth (and man) from the "primordial" man (to this age) can NEVER be used to propagate the evolution LIE) Perhaps if evolution/evolutionists/atheists can answer these pertinent questions. . . . .then I might believe afterall. the commonest law of biogenesis says life begets life. Biology buttresses this. Yet evolution claims that the first substance of life were formed from non-living substances reffered to as "spontaneous generation". is this not a contradiction? Darwin claims that all organisms on earth are descent from a common ancestor or a last universal ancestor.Whats the atheist's explanation for the mitochondria gene exception? what is the identity and nature of the last common universal ancestor? Evolution traces life to phylogenetic tree that that postulates three domains of life namely bacteria, archea and eucaryota. What is the major consensus or common denominator to whom life can be traced to between these three? Evolution claims that increasing complex chemical reactions that resulted from simpler chemical reactions are the last traces of life. what was the singular first chemical reaction that kick started life? and what were the substances that made up this reaction? what was the structure of the first living things? what was the catalyst of this first chemical reaction? what were the components of this catalyst? with regards to the pioneer formation of the RNA? how did it happen? which was the very first? what was its structure? I await these answers with deep breadth . . , What if there are NO answers to these questions, does that make evolution and subsequently atheism false? YES, . . .a definite YES 4. Atheism Denotes Ignorance and jejune postulations: What are the norms of debating? Simply pick holes in the argument of the opposing view and offer acceptable alternatives. I have asked several atheists the basis for stating that there is no GOD, the answer has been unanimous. . . .NONE. An atheist claims that God did not create the earth and its components, . .who did? how? when? where? It is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE to state that "i know 24264927*9629462429 is not 5, even though I dont know the answer". For u to know that 24264927*9629462429 is not 5, it means u have a knowledge of mathematics. . . . . use that knowledge to work out the real answer. It is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE to state that "I cannot prove the non-existence of God but can only pick holes in biblical assertions of the bible GOD" For you to establish the "inconsistencies" of the bible, u must be able to offer concrete and intellectually acceptable alternatives. otherwise u are ranting. The inability of the atheist community on nairaland/world to answer these basic pertinent questions is the basis of being regarded as "beclouded" critics.Critics who condemn (not on any intellectual or scientific basis) and yet have no alternative. This is despicable IGNORANCE that should not be transmitted to the next generation. 5. Whats There to loose? An atheist claims there is no God, as such no eternity. When I die as a christian and then find out that there is indeed no GOD. , .what do i loose?. . . . .Absolutely NOTHING. Whats there to loose if I DIE an atheist. . . .and then find out that there is a JEHOVAH GOD? bear in mind that repentance is impossible in the grave. I will become a partaker in the torments of HELL which the bible describes in sordid details. Atheism is a loose-loose situation , . . . 6. Any plus for atheism? I have no SINGLE reason, not even half a reason to be an atheist. This is what noetic-nairaland had to say about atheism. noetic: atheism is an irrational state of mind, where the subject of one's disbelief cannot be substantiated. This is butressed by the fact that atheistic belief/disbelief has: No scientific evidence. No intellectual driven reason. No logical and coherent explanation. No sensible alternative to the christian GOD postulations. and several more. . . . I have no reason to be an atheist. |

OLAADEGBU:I could not have said this better. The main issue has always been atheist's refusal to defend their beliefs. None of them has attempted to answer the questions raised. |
moneygurl:are u serious at all? ![]() |
moneygurl:The question is not whether it is good or not, . . , . . is it LEGAL? yaradua's rigging to power is GOOD from pdp's perspective, but is that legal?. . , .is rigging an acceptable norm in a developed democracy? An act might be good but does that make it acceptable or legal? How can DPA prove that all the things Fashola is doing is plagiarism? From the look of things a lot of the plan was carried over form Tinubu. And during the campaign in 2007, Fashola laid out his plan during the campaign so how is that stealing someone else's idea?There is no crime in what they have said. All they are saying is given the chance, they would do better. This is what opposition in democracy is all about. What has the PDP in lagos said to fashola in the last two years?. , . . .NOTHING What has the AC as a whole said to Yaradua in the last two years?. . . . , NOTHING. . . . They have no issues to antagonise them for. . . .all they talk about is marginalisation, go-slow, zoning and federal character. For the first time a party is addressing concrete issues and simply saying "we can do better". . . . .whats the crime in that? It is not Commission, it called payment for service (outsourcing). Till today no opposing political party- DPA, PDP has been able to prove the company is in a way related to Tinubu. They might be right but still there has been no prove.This has been reported in media circles over the past year. . . . neither tinubu nor fashola ever denied this. |
babs787:dont u know them? |
moneygurl:You easily forget that the subject here is nigerian politics. . . where the "issues" have always been zoning, fedral character and compensation. For the first time in the history of modern nigeria, a political disagreement is based on issues. DPA is accusing fashola of plagiarising their candidates program, which took him 10 years to develop. Everything is wrong with paying a company commission based on government's revenue. . . .its simply called corruption. The inland revenue of the lagos state government is legally empowered to receive such income. . . . . . how do u think it is done in other states? |
mikeansy:There is no legal or constitutional basis for using a firm to receive governments revenue. This has been clarified by the federal government. who owns alpha betta?. . , . is it not tinubu?. . . , .do u know who tinubu is? |
bindex:I would appreciate it if I am not the subject of ur LIES. There are free software's online that help u track contents to see where they have been copied from, . . . . .until u can prove I copied from anywhere. . . . pls do me the favour refraining from lying. and why do u and mazaje have a problem with stating facts from ur head without resorting to copy-paste? I asked in very simple terms, if u guys wanted to debate the probability of noah's flood happening or the scientific evidences I claimed. Mazaje said u guys prefered the scientific evidences. . . , . now u both have a problem answering the posers raised, , . .very "intelligent" If u have any problems with noah's flood. . . . open a new thread. . , , |
davidylan:I await the answers in deep breadth. where is huxley? ![]() |
bindex:Are u serious at all? The highlighted part makes a bold claim without stating facts to buttress this claim. 1. What is the proof that this fossils were not transported by the flood? 2. whats the proof that the fossils grew in their present location? 3. If they did not grow in their current location (2 above), how did they get to their present location? |
mikeansy:I disagree. I think this is quality opposition. Disagreeing with a person simply based on issues. I will still vote fashola, but well done DPA. |
davidylan:I couldnt have said that better. |
davidylan:They are simply interested in just disagreeing for no concrete reason. Didnt u wonder why they have no scientific, intellectual or logical basis for the non-existence of GOD?. . . . . .they are as guilty as the religions they accuse of using faith. |
what EXACTLY did mazaje refute amongst my many assertions? |
davidylan:Its surprising, I was honestly expecting a healthy debate, . , . . , . To say I am disappointed is an understatement, . , , to think they keep claiming to be more intelligent and "scientific". |
mazaje:whats the meaning of all this?. . . . . . .u have made no point here. . . . .what are holes in my assertions? I started by asking if u knew what polystrate fossils are. . . . . because I knew u would turn this all on its head. |
where is huxley? |
I am assuming u have a basic understanding of polystrate fossils, . . . . Polystrate fossils. These are best explained as fossil trees that lie upright or prostrate above the surface of the ground. They are buried within a strata in either prostrate, oblique or upright positions. A collection of these upright trees are called a fossil forest. Some of these fossil plants are found in Nova scotia strats in sydney as well as the united states and europe and other parts of the world. There are several evidences that suggest that these fossils were not planted in their current location but were transported there by massive water. . . . . NOAH'S FLOOD. Do u at least now have an idea of what a polystate fossil is now? These evidences include that buttresses this fact include : 1. Quite unlike primordial geologist assumptions that these fossils were planted because of their long root, on closer observation, these assumption is found to be false based on the composition of these fossils, . . . .I will lay more emphasis in other evidences. There are massive sheet-like, sedimentary, flat lying deposits all over the world, which could NOT have been planted. 2. The top of the fossils on closer inspection is as preserved as the base of the fossils when unearthed from their burial spot. These other facts are deducible a. The roots are truncated: b. The roots are two feet long c: The top is broken of, it is assumed that the top might be 10-15 feet high. The truncated root implies that these trees were uprooted. . . , . . . .mazaje, from where? The broken off top suggests that it was taller and did break off along a transporting process. . . . . . . .mazaje, how did it break off? An appreciative understanding of this is deducible from the fact that many of these rootless fossils are buried individually. . . . This lay credence to the fact that these trees did not grow there but were deposited there. 3. Fossils are formed when a plant or animal dies and is buried immediately. They are not formed in lakes, seas or the ocean. The present location of these fossils supports the notion of a massive flood that happened ages ago. I cant paste images. . . . I could go on and on. . . . .but please go do some reading. . . . . Extensive Strata Or Pancake Layering: Evolutionists believe that pancaked layer strata all over the world are either river deposits, delta deposits or deposits made over millions of years. As u now know, Evolutionists are almost always WRONG, . . . The facts that there are no evidences of erosion between the layers. And the size of these layers, which could as big as a city could not have been formed by rivers or delta's. These layers also consist of marine fossils deposited by a ocean currents whose magnitude and effect could only have been caused by NOAH'S FLOOD. be right back. . . |
mazaje:are u this gullible? didnt u see the "evolve" in quote. . . . . u should have asked me what I meant by "evolve". what is your own bible explanation for the origin of life? god breathe into man that was made of dust and he began to live or that god directed the plants to come out of the ground and they did?(infact your god does not seem to know when exactly he created plants according to the 2 different creation accounts in genesis 1 and 2) how does that explain anything? right now we don't know for sure, there are other explanations for the origin of life(abiogenesis) which i believe is not very clear for now. how has your god did it ever explain anything. the old testament god was fond of using lighting to kill his enemies but once men knew what caused lighting and how it can be stopped from destroying all buildings and other things your god suddenly stopped using it.what is ur alternative? How did life begin? what are the pioneer organisms? what are the components of the first chemical reactions that kick started life/evolution? i am studying all these assertions[b] for now so i don't know[/b]. what kick started life? of course i know you will tell me that yahweh did without even trying to defend how he said he did it in the bible.I dont expect u to know, cos for over 100 years your lying evolution predecessors COULD NOT find an answer. ![]() here is what an an evangelical christian scientist(david young) had to say.How is this relevant to the debate? |
mazaje:you see. . . .This was why I wanted clarification, before I go on. Do you want me to defend/analyse my initial statement about scientific evidences that suggest noah's flood OR Do u want to debate the possibility of Noah's flood happening. I chose to do this cos I am aware of ur diversion and "lying" techniques. |
toneyb:I saw ur initial post, I disregarded them for "known" reasons (like I have done to all ur previous posts). where is mazaje? |
@ Mazaje. That life "evolves" is a proven "fact", the bone of contention is the very "source" of that "evolvement". what exactly is the point of substituting the very source of life with a "BIG BANG"? When a research has a defined boundary to state that "point A" can NEVER be the source of life, and these same researchers CANNOT provide an alternative. then that is bias and very unobjective. What kick-started evolution? . . . . . . If u can answer this, then at LAST u might make sense. |
We have to reason together to answer ur questions, cos it seems like a line has been drawn. I am only interested in . . . . . . Lets start from the first: what do understand by polystrate fossils? . . . . . . . in a few words. |
huxley2:No one has ever denied this. Evolution is not the only "theory" to "unprovably" claim this. The bible records a flood that wiped all living creatures off the earth. This biblical account is buttressed by several scientific evidences including: 1. polystrate fossils 2. The existence of these fossils 3. Turbudity currents 4. Extensive Strata and pancake layering 5. Fossil Whales and several others. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that, u CANNOT use changes to the earth to lay credence to the falsehood of the evolution theory. The fact that there were no mammals in the precambrian. Show my a mammalian fossil from the precambrian, and I will bow to your superior knowledge and stop posting anti-christian and anti-religion post here on NL.How does this buttress evolution or deny biblical accounts? If u can tell me: 1. the pioneer organisms that kick started life 2. The defining simpler chemical reactions that made up the complex chemical reaction, which evolved life as we know it today. 3. The catalysts of this reaction. I will subsequently bow to ur knowledge and acknowledge the intelligence and rationality in atheistic driven arguments. |
huxley2:I believe the OP asked for matured and objective debates. |
huxley2:what is the truth? |
jookco:is this a church advertisement? |
