historians call scientific racism (but actually the real culprit is pseudo-evolutionary theory) — the spread of bogus theories of supposed black inferiority in an attempt to rationalize slavery and centuries of social and economic domination and plunder.

Why will a white call a black a monkey or throw a banana at him? He surely believes he is closer to the apes than he is and is definitely inferior.

hakeem4:
This is more of social Darwinism than natural selection.

Where does social darwinism stem its conviction from, if not Darwins theory of evolution?

Pseudo-scientific racism and social Darwinism are stemming from the supremacy of the whites in the evolutionary theory in South Africa

Social Darwinism ( the theory that the laws of evolution by natural selection also apply to social structures) began actively to be thought in schools throughout the western world creating generations upon generations of white supremacists who manifested racism.

It took only some few decades ago to break this "physical social structures" but mentally in the minds of many whites they still persist today and will persist as long as the theory of evolution exist!

Look at a vivid description of the evolution of the human races

The white race is obvious number 1, all other races come after. This is part of the racist problem.

Racism is the belief in distinct human races and that they have different inherent attributes or abilities and generally that's some are superior and others inferior. It is also the policy, practice or program of promoting this belief and promoting the dominance of one race over others.

Races have several roots and justification but the belief in EVOLUTION is a strong cause for the indoctrination and spread of racial prejudice.

Our dark skin colour is attributed to been closer to the apes than their white skin color. They point to the shape of head of a black man as a pointer of how close it is to the apes. As long as the pseudoscience called the EVOLUTIONARY THEORY exist even unborn generation of whites will be racist, cause that's what they were thought from birth to believe, that they are the superior race!

To justify the continuous use of the evolutionary theory, scientist now tag racism that stems from it as "scientific racism", and goes ahead to denounce such beliefs. Clearly it is misleading and redirects attention from where the fault truly lie which is with the EVOLUTIONARY THEORY

Seun:
The rules the world was following at the beginning of the crisis were wrong. They didn’t recommend face-masks or ventilation because of the WHO’s reckless disinformation.

You need to read this seun before you judge WHO's response to the pandemic https://www.nairaland.com/5873114/v-coronavirus-why-it-cant

Everyone is frustrated in one way or the other with this pandemic.

Jay199:
Lol. How did ur hand suffer?

Wait what do you mean

IamMichael:

Your stance on what ?

You have decided I'm not befitting of an apology. All you need to know about my stance it's in our conversation.

Enjoy your evening

IamMichael:

And in the first comment you quoted asking me the above question for the first time, did you see where i linked your religious notion to the link you provided?

Cuz, i would love to know where you got the notion from which necessitated the question in the first place.

you didn't apologize for the error you just did.
I'm not here to argue but to reason. My comments that you quoted has no link attached to it. Then I was only expressing my view points.

I later posted the view points of other people with links in my later posts, who are scientists to also show you they also share similar views even though they are not religious.

My stance is already clear now.

IamMichael:



Look at the bolded Sentence.



You even made your religion quite obvious!!!

I wonder why you are denying it anyway!

I was enjoying our conversation but you are now making false comments and accusations, questioning my integrity as a person....

I specifically said "Can you point out where I specifically placed religious notions in the link I posted?"

Scientists in that link believe the human body can live forever. That's their thoughts.

I being religious also believe that but those scientists aren't and still believe that.

So in that link I posted were did I make a religious notion?

IamMichael:

Immortality is not a new concept in biology. Tardigrades and Radiation-Resistant Bacterium are the two best examples of immortal species.

Chasing immortality is not a new concept to humans. One of the reasons why religious beliefs sprouted all over the place.

Also, there are well documented records of People chasing immortality all throughout the history of the human race. It's all côck and bull story for now until there is actual proof.

I think you should really take your time and read about Reverse Ageing without adding any religious sentiment to it.

Can you point out where I specifically placed religious notions in the link I posted?

If you have a problem with the notion scientists believe the human body has a whole lot more capability than its been used as regards immortality, you should take it up with them and not me.

IamMichael:


I have already shown you what Pseudoscience is, and the definition of Pseudoscience. I don't know why you are still insistent on disproving it with no evidence.



"Evolution is change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations.[1][2] These characteristics are the expressions of genes that are passed on from parent to offspring during reproduction. Different characteristics tend to exist within any given population as a result of mutation, genetic recombination and other sources of genetic variation."


I have already explained this to you. So, it's now left for you to continue to hold your opinion, or rebut this facts with better superior provable facts.

You are only giving me definitions of pseudoscience, I know what the word means and where it applies. I told you countless reasons I don't believe in evolution, scientist know this but still choose to go with it.
Evolution cannot be proven reasonably either retrospectively, presently or mathematically. Yet it is paraded as a "theory". That is pseudoscience and pseudoscience reasoning behind it.

IamMichael:

I think you misunderstand the whole age reversal thing.

Human body does not have the capacity to live forever bro.

The title of the first link I posted is "Curing Aging and the Science of Immortality"

Obviously a lot of scientist believe otherwise!

IamMichael:

Evolution is not Pseudoscience.


To understand evolution better, take yourself as the example in the scenario.

How many of the things you did as a child are you still doing now as an adult?
There could have been a point in your life when all that mattered to you was just to suck your mom's brêast or to lick lollipop/sweet or the best Christmas clothes.
But, as your cells are fed with substances that it needs, it starts growing. With that growth, it starts to develop more and expand.
What you feed your cells, they automatically grow with.
With time, most of the things it doesn't need, you become allergic to it. Some of the things your body no longer needs, you automatically cut it off, sometimes without even knowing.

Whatever you feed your cells, they will decipher it and eventually decide what is good for you and what is not good for you.
That's evolution.
Watch some of the bigger traits you have, try and remember how you got them. If it wasn't in your gene already, then it will manifest from the things you mostly associate yourself with.
That's evolution!


Unlike Pseudoscience, Evolution is observable everyday, and can be proved beyond reasonable doubt.

Evolution is still pseudoscience. The evolutionary tree is make shift at best. The odds life survived prehistoric earth conditions and diversified into different species male and female is also an impossibility, amongst others. What else is pseudoscience if not evolution?

And the illustration you mentioned should be about "maturity" and not evolution.

IamMichael:


Read this excerpt below:


From the above excerpt, it's clear that aging is normal, and that it must catch up with you whether you eat healthy or not.

Human body didn't lose perfection because it sinned, because human body was not perfect to begin with.
There is only so much detoxification your liver can do before it tires itself. There is only so much the eyes can do before it succumbs to environmental degradation over time.
All the parts in your body is designed to follow the rules of wear and tear over time. The human body can only last as much as the type of rest and what you feed it, to continue to burn it's fuel. At a point, it breaks down.

If the human body is as perfect as you thought:
- then wear and tear should never affect it.
- Invasive organisms and diseases shouldnt be able to harm a person. Also
- There will be no need to sleep to rest your body. - It should not need food to sustain itself.
- If the body of Adam and Eve were so perfectly made, what else did they need organic food for? ( The bible said they were placed in the garden of Eden with varieties of edibles.) This again lends credence to the fact that the body is not perfect, and evolved to seek out what it needs for survival over time.
You can imagine the number of wild poisonous foods that has been consumed by the early people before most of the none-dangerous ones were found. Most of this none-dangerous ones have also been scientifically modified over time to provide specific nutrients to our body.

So, no, the body wasn't perfectly made!!!

"There is no scientific reason, however, to think that aging cannot be cured (reviewed in de Magalhaes, 2014a). After all, curing aging does not violate any law of physics".https://www.senescence.info/aging_cure.html

"All around the world, scientists are trying to beat the most debilitating condition known to humans: aging". https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20181211-how-science-and-medicine-could-cure-ageing

"Age reversal technology will be a reality soon. Our bodies will be kept biologically younger for longer, regardless of our chronological age."
https://atlasbiomed.com/blog/ageing-can-you-reverse-it/amp/

The above sources show that aging isn't "normal" to many people of science and a reversal is being pursued! But a reversal will be useless if they all agree that the human body is fundamentally flawed or does not have the "capacity to live forever". But they know the body has that capacity and they are willing to push it to its limit!

IamMichael:

Humans evolved... I'm sure when you see your ancestors from 1,000,000yrs ago, you will shudder!

Dogs, cows, goat, sheep, chicken, etc were all domesticated... Do you think they always looked that way?
Fruits like Apple, Banana(not a fruit as they say), maize and a whole lot of other edible things have been genetically modified by humans over time to look the way they are now and carry more nutrients. Do you think they all looked this way in the past?

Do you think white people were all white in the past? The latest discovery of the Cheddar Man proves they were not.

You guys should really expand your knowledge by reading. Only ignorance makes people continue to believe in silly things, despite evidence saying otherwise!

Evolution is a theory that cannot be scientifically proven, although it is paraded as science, it is actually pseudoscience.

Too many missing links in the evolutionary tree. Falsified missing links inclusive. Fossil remains that doesnt show structural resemblance in sizes are often published as vital missing links in the evolutionary tree, amongst others.

Lastly mathematical models does not support evolution. The probability that life came from outer space into the chaotic prehistoric harsh earth environment in the form of microorganisms or vital molecules necessary to form DNA and life are astronomically slim, the odds are seemly impossible. And to believe the odds still favoured the diversification of all life forms into their male and female kinds even if it's trillions of years ago is still mathematically an impossible odd. It is less than one chance out of a billion trillion, the chance that a 200-component organism could be formed by mutation and natural selection is less than one chance out of a trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion!

My head hurt just think about the numbers!

IamMichael:

As perfect as your body is, simple cold, flu keeps you down, gets you shivering like an epileptic and running high on fever.

I don't even want to mention the bigger diseases and viruses and bacterias that will just fück you up with no human help(medicine/science).

Surely, your perfect designer also designed all this diseases to kill you, but yet never gave you the best body to fight them off... i mean, no matter how good your immune system is, there is always one sickness stronger than it right?

It's not my fault you didn't follow through with where the conversation started from, but rather you came in at a later stage to comment.

The previous commentator stressed that the "human body design is flawed", referring to how it is "structurally fabricated" as flawed, saying a human designer could have done a better "job" in designer a better body, which isn't true!

So the argument with him is in the "design". Seeing he could not find a flaw in human design he then brought up diseases that may affect the body as a proof of a flaw. I pointed out to him that in a production plant, defective products are not used as gold standard in examining the products rather it is that which is in a good working condition.

Now to the fact that a human body can be affected by diseases, it's an anomaly caused by various factors. Humanistic factors includes: Poor or unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, harmful and damaging habits(excessive smoking, drinking, drug abuse etc). This are self destructive behaviours that go against how the body is supposed to be used and maintained.

Intrinsic factor: Aging is yet another factor that causes our bodies to wear and tear. Scientist believe our bodies have the ability to live forever, all the information needed for the renewal of the cells are stored in the genes, but as we grow older "somethings" snaps in our genes and causes them to stop playing their roles and we slowly but surely start to age. Aging is abnormal based on the abilities of our genes and this has been the reason behind many scientific studies.

God's design of the body is a work of art but he tells us that because of "sin", the human body lost its perfection. Due to that lost perfection of the body aging occurs which causes wear and tear of it.

MelaninSkinGirl:
I am sure ladies you can all relate with this, many women all believe that all men are nice but in fact they are shy, sly and slick. Women get carried away and get loved up and think love is true but these men walk all over women

Many women do not look before they leap and end up in deep water. So ladies, guard your heart, play hard to get or you will regret the day you were born when he leaves you for another woman/man because "Good men are like finding a needle in a haystack".

Men and women alike have damaged romantic relationships especially in this century and I don't see anything changing anytime soon.

Now Love is a kind of battlefield but of the emotions, will and what have you. Romantic relationships and even marriage shouldn't be for those not mature enough to enjoy the bliss, as well as withstand the heat! If you can't cope with rejection as a man and unnecessary bills, don't go into love! If you can't cope with getting your heart broken as a woman, love is not for you! If you can't live with the fact that your love and lover can betray you then please stay out of love! Love is sweet but also bitter, love is meant for emotional mature people that can manage with both sides.

Lastly love is not for everyone, it's not a must you enter into a romantic relationship as a man or woman if you find it too stressful. And don't say society expects that of you, it's your life own it!

Omooba77:


The General Overseer, The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, on Sunday, said COVID-19 would not be completely phased out from the earth.

The clergyman spoke during a sermon titled, ‘Seven ways to deal with a mountain,’ delivered on Dove Television Station.

Adeboye, who urged the people to rest on God in difficult situations, said just like flu and Ebola, the virus would continue to live with mankind while those who fear God would be spared.


He said, “Coronavirus is not going to disappear completely. Just like the flu and Ebola, it would subside. In the mighty name of Jesus, it would subside soon. But that it would leave the world completely, that would take a special miracle of God.

“The good thing is that by the special grace of God, those of you listening to me now, by the time we finish, you would come out at the other end of the mountain. When you come out, I hope you will not forget to sing praises to the Lord.”



He added that many people would rejoice in the end because they would take stock and begin to count the gains of the lockdown.

“The mountain may be there but you are not climbing and you are not blasting it out; you are just flying.

“There are quite a lot of good things that will come out of this lockdown. Many people at the end of the lockdown would be grateful for it. People who had not had time to spend with their wives and children are now locked down together. Thank God for compulsory holiday,” he said.


Like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the Holy Bible, he said, “There are certain situations and problems that you must burrow your way through. I am not just talking about coronavirus, I am talking of some situations in your life that you just have to burrow your way through the mountain.


“To burrow your way through, you must trust God; remember God’s mercy and faithfulness; believe God and His prophets. You will come out of this problem safe and sound. Of course, you must take a step of faith. You must give your life to Jesus Christ.


“You must trust God – the Father, the maker of heaven, and the earth. Trust the one who was before the mountain; remember God’s mercy and his faithfulness; and believe God and His prophets.”

https://punchng.com/covid-19-wont-disappear-completely-from-the-world-pastor-adeboye/

Thanks for his input but this is not new. WHO and several health experts and authority have said that the virus may stay with us for a long time, even up to 2 to 3 years.

So we just have to find the right balance to live with it until a suitable cure is found to treat infected person's or a safe vaccine is available to prevent healthy person's from getting the virus.

CAPSLOCKED:


OFF POINT.
MAN MADE DESIGN DOESN'T CLAIM IT'S PERFECT.
ALSO, WHAT I MENTIONED ABOUT THE EYES MOSTLY COME NATURALLY. THEY ALL AFFECT CHILDREN LESS THAN TEN. SOME PEOPLE ARE BORN WITH LONGER OR SHORTER EYEBALLS AND IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO LIVE. THERE'S NOTHING PERFECT ABOUT THIS DESIGN. IT'S A PROBLEM WITH AN IMPERFECT SYSTEM LIKE EVOLUTION. THANKS TO SCIENCE, WE SOLVE A LOT OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH ARTIFICIAL LENSES.

You see why is not good to be biased... Lol. You made the claim MAN WILL MAKE A BETTER DESIGN in your previous post without first reasoning if man has ever made a better design before than what is already in nature... Lol.

CAPSLOCKED:


THE HUMAN DESIGN IS NOT A PERFECT ART. DO YOU KNOW WHAT "PERFECT" IS?
A HUMAN DESIGNER WOULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB AT DESIGNING THE HUMAN BODY THAN YOUR MR. INTELLIGENT.
YOUR BODY HAS MANY FLAWS. IT CAN'T BE CALLED PERFECT.

You keep mentioning congenital disorders that may affect the eyes, injury as a sign the eye isn't perfect, wrong!

A defective product in an assembling plant is not the gold standard that should be used to know if a product is good or bad, rather it is that product in good working condition. If you can prove that the product in good working condition is flawed then you'd be making sense.

CAPSLOCKED:


THIS GUY IS KIDDING ME.
SOME PEOPLE'S EYES ARE TOO LONG, SOME ARE TOO SHORT. WITHOUT GLASSES, SAY 800 YEARS AGO, PEOPLE WILL BE LIVING WITH SO MUCH DISCOMFORT. GLAUCOMA, CATARACTS, AND RETINAL DETACHMENT. THE LIST OF PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS "PERFECT" DESIGN NEVER ENDS. THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WILL SUFFER SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF VISUAL FUNCTION IN THEIR LIFETIMES, AND FOR MANY PEOPLE, IT STARTS EVEN BEFORE PUBERTY. THE EYES SUGGESTS A STRONG EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION. UNLESS A SENSIBLE INTELLIGENT DESIGNER ENJOYS ALL THESE EYE VARIATIONS, THEN GOOD FOR HIS MYSTERIOUS WAYS.

Lol... You are funny bro. So ageing of the eyes (ageing which is a due to the genes and not the eyes) and it being affected by either injury or disease is what makes you conclude that the human eye is faulty?..lol. Going by that your logic which man made design, since man is the best designer according to you, that doesn't need updating, servicing, repairs or total overhaul over time?

A healthy eye is what your argument should be based on and not a diseased eye.

CAPSLOCKED:


I HAVE NOT CRITICIZED MY BODY. OR YOURS. IT'S A FACT THAT THE HUMAN BODY CAN'T BE CALLED "PERFECT".
LIKE I ALREADY MENTIONED, IF WE HAD TAILS IN FRONT OF OUR FACES INTELLIGENT CREATOR FANS WILL CLAIM WE'RE IN THE BEST FORM, SO I CAN'T LOSE TIME DISCUSSING THIS WITH YOU OR ANYONE.

PERFECT MEANS FLAWLESS, WITHOUT FAULT.
THE HUMAN EYE IS THE MOST FAULTY THING THERE IS. I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO KNOW THIS ANYWAY, IT WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE BIBLE.

Good you mentioned the eyes, now let's use that as an example... Please mention what and what are faulty and how you intend to change it.

Hope it's not like the one some scientist have proposed below that makes us look like like aliens... Lol

CAPSLOCKED:


GO ON, SAY WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY. I'M NOT AVAILABLE TO TRY TO UNCHANGE YOUR ALREADY MADE UP MIND.

You see its easier to just criticize than to provide solutions.. Lol.

CAPSLOCKED:


THE HUMAN DESIGN IS NOT A PERFECT ACT. DO YOU KNOW WHAT "PERFECT" IS?
A HUMAN DESIGNER WOULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB AT DESIGNING THE HUMAN BODY THAN YOUR MR. INTELLIGENT.
YOUR BODY HAS MANY FLAWS. IT CAN'T BE CALLED PERFECT.

Before I say any other thing, please amaze me with the many flaws of the human body and their corrections?

CAPSLOCKED:


IF THINGS WERE LIKE THAT YOU'D STILL CLAIM GOD DID IT. WHATEVER THE OUTCOME IT'S GOD AND SOMETIMES DEVIL. RELIGION HAS THIS FIGURED OUT.

THE TRUTH IS THAT NOTHING IS INTELLIGENT ABOUT THIS DESIGN.
IS IT YOUR EYES, THE MOST FRAGILE THING IN THE WORLD? YOUR TESTICLES? A WOMAN'S REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM OR EVERYTHING ELSE IN OUR BODIES THAT POINTS OUT OBVIOUS MISTAKES IN THE HUMAN BODY SYSTEM?
LIKE I SAID ALREADY, IF WE HAD HORNS YOU'D STILL SAY WE'RE A PERFECT DESIGN. IF WE WALKED WITH OUR HEADS IT'S STILL A PERFECT DESIGN TO YOU BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS GOD, AND PERFECTLY INTELLIGENTLY DESIGNED.

I can't believe you just mocked the human design, by saying it is not a perfect work of art!

Even you can differentiate between something that is beautiful and something that's is not. I'm sure you can tell a beautiful girl from one who isn't so beautiful, in facials and form?

Yet you turn around and still mock the design.. Lol

LordReed:


Yeah the Bible you can twist to mean anything you like. Thanks but no thanks.

If you believe this all along then this thread is like a waste of time for anybody that engages you.

LordReed:


There is nothing like inert or radioactive elements in the Bible so there is no answer there.

Even if I showed you, you still won't comprehend. Cause I answered what you asked twice and still, to you I "didn't understand the question".

You answers are Already infront of you...

LordReed:


What purpose did the intelligent designer have for them when it created them?

You should just read Genesis instead since my simple explanation of their purpose by an intelligent creator is not suitable for you. Genesis will explain better...

LordReed:
You guys propose that an intelligent designer created everything, so what was its purpose for these sorts of elements?

Let me also add, about 1% of the atmosphere is the inert gas argon. You might think that's irrelevant, being inert, but MOST of it comes from the radioactive decay of potassium-40. For there to be no potassium-40, which is inextricably mixed in with stable potassium, there would need to be no potassium at all. As our nervous system needs it to work, we would all already be dead by now. If no Argon, then no potassium-40 that formed it by decay which translate to death!

LordReed:


My question wasn't what we use these elements for, my question is what was the purpose the intelligent designer had for their creation.

Sun is for life on earth and a source of power too amongst others. No sun and we won't be having this conversation.

The inert gases have been found useful by man and are widely used. It has always been useful, the more we understand them, the more their purpose becomes clear.

Those are some of their purpose.

LordReed:
You guys propose that an intelligent designer created everything, so what was its purpose for these sorts of elements?

An example of a popular object that is radioactive is the Sun.The Sun, powered by nuclear fusion, emits radiation that is both necessary and harmful to life on Earth. Luckily the atmosphere filters out much of the harmful radiation emitted by the sun( it does emit gamma rays from solar flares), though some radiation, such as ultraviolet light, does pass through.
Without the sun, all LIVES on our solar system will not exist!!!


Inert atmospheres consisting of gases such as argon, nitrogen, or helium are commonly used in chemical reaction chambers and in storage containers for oxygen-sensitive or water-sensitive substances, to prevent unwanted reactions of these substances with oxygen or water.

Argon is widely used in fluorescence tubes and low energy light bulbs. Argon gas helps to protect the metal filament inside the bulb from reacting with oxygen and corroding the filament under high temperature.

Neon is used in making advertising signs. Neon gas in a vacuum tube glows bright red in colour when electricity is passed through. Different coloured neon lights can also be made by using other gases.

Helium gas is mainly used to fill hot air and party balloons. Balloons filled with it float upwards and this phenomenon is achieved as helium gas is less dense than air.
