joel lala: Ok then, please it will do your ego well if you could explain the following below...Please ensure that you give reasonable answers, no beating about the bush or talking gibberish.these arent contradictions, these questions are as a result of your illiteracy... reading a little biology will clarify things read some here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_evolution it contains the fossils you seek |
ATMC: don't ever speak unless yhu are spoken to...yhu yhear?it doesnt kill to take correction, does it? |
texanomaly: Hahahaha...yea, thats obvious |
Nthateng Mhlambiso is simply right what if we also show a man and a woman in bed, that would be irritating to gays too right? xtians are so dumb.... |
^^ someone is in love with a satanist love in the air........................... |
striktlymi: Good...you may now understand why it is impossible for God to have a creator.God is conscious, so if man, because of his consciousness must be created, then your god must be too. ![]() If your god is uncreated, then man wasnt..... that is established... striktlymi: You say an unconscious agent can bring about consciousness...but you still hold the view that this unconscious agent cannot give consciousness to Energy? Don't you see the contradiction?what contradiction? i said nothing can make energy in itself conscious. Consciousness requires billions of cell connections.... Energy in itself cannot gain consciousness by any possible means.... striktlymi: I am not going to harp on the ish with your comment being at best theoretical but what I will not fail to notice is your willingness to accept that evolution and those cells you mentioned are responsible for consciousness without a recourse to some conscious agent.yep, because that conscious agent would suggest a conscious creator itself, and that goes on forever, only evolution, which is change, requires no creator striktlymi: Think about it ooman...if there was one mistake in the evolutionary process you brought to the fore, what would have happened to our ability to become conscious? One wrong brain connection would mean the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness. The randomness you suggest is impractical.isnt this practical? Dont people run mad, become schizophreniac, psychotic etc all because of simple cell misconfiguration? What you need to understand is the process of natural selection, how good genes get retained and bad ones get off the population.. i now see your problem, you really dont understand the processes of evolution... a little study, and god will leave your life too like he was never there, just as he left mine. striktlymi: Our ability to become conscious can only be brought about by some deliberate act which has its source from the Energy I speak of. And for an act to be deliberate, a conscious agent must be involved. Consciousness cannot come from a random unconscious agent.still, this conscious agent will require a creator if consciousness MUST be brought about by another conscious agent.... just think about it.... this goes on forever...this is why we cannot propose a conscious agent for the existence of consciousness... Evolution is not just random, it is guided by possibility and what favors survival....consciousness is possible and it favors survival obviously, so randomness, as controlled by evolution, can bring about consciousness through cell connections, no process can make energy in itself conscious... striktlymi: Cool! To take this further...the Energy I talk of is what I call God and it is conscious.call energy whatever, but i refuse to believe its conscious until you can demonstrate how it can gain its consciousness... striktlymi: Double cool!! Now replace the word 'Energy' with God, the comment becomes:do what you will, you still havent demonstrated how this energy of yours gained its consciousness... striktlymi: C'mon ooman...true, but energy in its pure form does not give light, or sound, or colors, or life, or consciousness, it has to be changed, converted into other forms for it to posses these properties.... and this has been my point, energy in itself cannot be conscious, give light, or make sound you are confusing what energy powers, with the energy itself.....there is where you need clarification and i hope i have done that... and here it is again..what we debate is energy in its pure form, not in its concentrated form, electric energy has to be converted by a material means into light energy before it can give light... energy in itself does not give light, or colors, or consciousness.... this process of conversion is change, and this is evolution striktlymi: The bold is like asking what brought about Energy. It's in the nature of Energy to be conscious and it gives this ability to whomever it wills.I have never been disappointed by you like you just did. #Pls, in your next reply, just tell me you believe consciousness is a simple property that can just exist, and i will call this debate quit with you... striktlymi: I believe I have addressed the above in a previous post...by saying energy is just conscious right? so to you, conscious is a simple phenomenon right? striktlymi: If Energy only powers consciousness then it implies that some other thing or agent is responsible for the existence of consciousness. This is not correct because everything in existence was brought about by Energy, and that includes consciousness.the bold is correct, consciousness requires cell connections, powered by energy.... @unbold: energy in itself is just energy, it has to be converted before it can be useful... its called potential energy. your position is like saying because dams power energy conversion, dams therefore have electricity in them, not just that, but everything electricity powers, like computers pre-exist in the dam....i hope you see the fallacy in your position now... striktlymi: What informs your belief that consciousness is from the brain?that's because i know of no other consciousness outside the brain, except you can point me to something that is conscious without a brain, #dont point to your imaginary conscious energy....that will piss me off, you have no proof for that... striktlymi: Consciousness is not just about being reactive or having a personality. Note that God does not have a 'personality' strictly speaking. Yes, we have given it a lot of attributes, a lot of which has to do with our experience of it but this is not saying that he has a 'personality'.as long as the bolded is in your definition of energy, i refuse to accept...you cannot prove energy has a will...common its energy, its what we use to power our phones, cars, computers etc...is that really the god you worship?? striktlymi: Energy does not just power the brain...it brought it into existence.in a sense, i agree, as long as that doesnt translate into energy having consciousness by reason of bringing the brain into existence, by making it up... striktlymi: My answer has always been Energy because everything has its existence from Energy.if the brain is conscious because it has its existence from a conscious energy, are stone now unconscious because they have their existence from an unconscious energy? this is why your logic is impossible... striktlymi: I knew you won't get it. The point here is, creating something 'corruptible' does not imply that the perfect cannot be created.therefore, the point is creating something corruptible has a purpose, so stop making excuses for your god, evil exists because your god has a purpose for evil... striktlymi: Because he has a demonstrable will and note that nothing truly corrupts. What we have is a transformation.and transformation changes purpose, so it is corruption....think... striktlymi: The above is like asking what created Energy. With Energy comes consciousness. Energy is and was not created, hence no one or thing gave it consciousness. Just like it is it nature to exist, so too it is its nature to be conscious.consciousness is not as simple as energy that can exist forever, if it is, consciousness wouldnt be corruptible, like running mad...am tired of explaining this simple concept... if energy is conscious, then consciousness is also forever, therefore, brain misconfiguration should not bring an end to consciousness, since energy makes the brain up, and energy is eternal...so think about this... and it cant just be the nature of something to be conscious, consciousness requires complexity, you are not making sense..... energy is too simple to be conscious....... striktlymi: All forms of Energy have their source or being from this one Ultimate energy source aka God. I do acknowledge the existence of other energy sources (gods) which derive their essence from this one source but I choose to follow the Ultimate source instead of the wannabes.guy, you are too mythical, you should be a babalawo or something just imagine this, you now sound like Folykaze, macof, ghostofsparta and all of them... you do realize i can claim this ultimate source is the Flying Pig right? there is no proof for a particular god, its all a state of mind... striktlymi: Still like saying that Energy requires a greater Energy to exist.except the energy i talk of is not conscious, so it doesnt require a greater energy, but consciousness requires another medium, now what medium could bring about consciousness in energy, considering there was nothing before energy? striktlymi: Cell connections exist because of Energy. They are derivatives and not the Ultimate source. They do not bring about consciousness...they are only tools used by this ultimate Energy to aid consciousness.yes, this is true because nothing in itself is conscious. But together, nature has produced consciousness. So stop contradicting yourself by claiming there can be a conscious energy... striktlymi: Can Energy just be?as long as its not conscious, yep, consciousness cannot just be, and that is what we debate. striktlymi: Nah mehn...you still dont get it, energy didnt just create everything, it makes up everything, this is why everything must be conscious, if energy is conscious...hope you get it now. striktlymi: That's funny! Energy need not be unconscious for it to be indestructible. Indestructibility is in its nature, just like consciousness.consciousness is not an irreducible unit, if it is, brain misconfiguration wouldnt cause lack of consciousness.... can you think about that? striktlymi: Nope!and no because consciousness can just be? thats too dumb to be coming from you, am really disappointed... striktlymi: An ability to select implicitly suggests some level of consciousness.selection as explained by evolution requires no consciousness, its what favors survival that survivals, and so get selected, nothing more. striktlymi: Don't tell me you are unaware that everything has some form of Energy.how does this address my post? if everything has some form of energy, and if energy is consicous, then everything is conscious, according to you, because consciousness makes everything up, do you get that? |
FOLYKAZE: Omo odua. Lolwhy did you say we have no freedom... |
FOLYKAZE: can we simply say dynamism of nature is the thing controlling us?it controls the choices we have, but i think instinct controls what we choose... what favors survival and what doesnt... |
FOLYKAZE: ThanksWhat automated reaction do you control? #You dont control something that is automated..... |
Sunymoore: Good luck to your new faithyea thanks |
this is soppy rubbish |
@all, be careful, Joshthefirst is also OLAADEGBU the dumb... so be careful when you engage the thing |
FOLYKAZE: lets start with your definition of freewill. Might get your picture clearer thereability to choose ? |
FOLYKAZE: calm down man. We dont know things all at once....we learn so nothing bad learning from you too.you are not controlling the reaction and the dynamism of nature is what brings about the automation ![]() |
joel lala: Is it too hard to comprehend..Evolution is a white man's concept with contradictions too just like religion that you always battle with..it will do your ego well if you could point to those contradictions.... |
OLAADEGBU: Don't be eristic. I said the empty tomb and not "an" empty tomb amongst other evidences presented. Did you get that? ![]() the empty tomb, an empty tomb, does that really prove the dead in it is risen? what are the other evidences you claim of your risen zombie... |
FOLYKAZE: ______________________________________________________this is your post as i recall |
FOLYKAZE: Can you directly answer the questions directed at you or you want to dance around?you asked for my thoughts on freewill, and i gave it... as long as these chemical reactions are random, am free ![]() the only illusion here is thought that there is a you, who is choosing.... there is really no you, just a combination of cells that make a unit, so you are reducible... period... |
OLAADEGBU: Don't be mendacious. At least you believe that His empty tomb exists, you are getting there.there are probably a billion and one empty tombs now that i believe are really empty, does that mean all the supposed dead in them arose? |
Bidam: Let us use an analogy.ok, according to your analogy, what if he starts the bike, puts me on it, then forgot something inside, and then told me to not touch the pedal.... but as he takes long, a very subtle Bidam came to me and tricked me into pressing the pedal.... and there was a crash, am i to blame, or Bidam the devil, or my careless yahweh father, who put an inexperienced child with a started bike, and allowed a trickster in his compound? |
Fate, kismet, predestination - are all myths..... there is only coincidence, no predestination, because the predestinator would require a predestinator, and that goes on forever... |
A lion may choose to kill a prey, or let it go, based on its level of hunger, is that freewill? I think what we call freewill is instinct, no matter what, you wont do something you wont gain in it, even if its just a good feeling that it gives, like a feeling of sharing love, or revenge, even though it might hurt you, so i think what we call freewill is the relic of our instinctual existence, from our ape ancestors... |
joel lala: The exact same thing that is wrong with your own brain..you want me to accept that man evolved from apes whereas that concept cant explain life..but if a christian/muslim says that there is a God and is general to any thinking community you will doubt..nonsensecan you just agree with yourself what you wanna debate? is it 'evolution is white man's idea' or evolution of life, because i can get started with that, but its not necessary, not sure your IQ can carry the logic, if it could, it would have... |
striktlymi: Sorry for the delay, I have been very busy. ![]() striktlymi: You still ignore the fundamental questions here...ok.. striktlymi: 1) Can Energy be created?Nope ![]() striktlymi: 2) Can an 'unconscious agent' give rise to consciousness??yep, and it takes billions of cell connections and billions of years to achieve that. No unconscious agent can make energy, in itself conscious... ![]() striktlymi: By definition, it is impossible to conceive nature without Energy. If there is no Energy, there won't be a "natural process". In order words the world cannot just exist without Energy.yep ![]() striktlymi: We have already agreed on the fact that Energy is uncreated, and I posit that to exist is to have Energy.yep, again ![]() striktlymi: These are not mutually exclusive. Nothing can come into existence if it has not been acted upon by Energy.yep, again ![]() striktlymi: Hence, my position of an uncreated creator (Energy) is not something we cannot wrap our minds around. The point of our divergence can better be appreciated when we ask the question: Can anything give what he/she/it does not have?? Energy is responsible for consciousness and for it to give consciousness, it must possess that ability. just when i was enjoying myself, you totally betrayed logic..... does energy posses light, colors? Can it give light, colors? Does energy have sound? can it sound? does energy have cells? can it give cells? energy gives what it doesnt have when it becomes converted to different things in different conditions.... you totally spoiled my fun here striktlymi: I agree totally but note that the complexities and arrangements you speak of were brought about by this conscious Energy.And what brought about the consciousness in energy.... because energy is not conscious in itself... is electric energy conscious? what about solar energy? sound energy? no form of conscious energy can exist, energy can only power consciousness, brought about by cell connections.... striktlymi: I need to understand what you mean by personality because there is a way one would define it such that it can be attributed to inanimate objects too.personality, as could feel regret and so send flood, feel love and so kill himself for our sake, be so intelligent and so create life, sex starved and so rape Mary, so disappointed and so create hell, so impressed and so create heaven, wants friendship and so request your servitude and slavery..... ![]() striktlymi: @Bold: Are you saying that consciousness is from the brain?yep, yep, yep, no brain, no consciousness. Show me a conscious thing, and i will show you its brain, except you want to claim stones are conscious... but before we go deeper, let me understand your definition of consciousness, is it being reactive? ..... if its been reactive, then energy is conscious, as you claim , but if its having a personality .... striktlymi: Demonstrate it.by claiming that because energy powers the brain,it therefore has to be conscious... striktlymi: This is what I said:ok, my answer is the brain, whats your answer and why? striktlymi: Yet again, the above does not follow...this is an irritating excuse and your illustration is weak striktlymi: China is notorious for producing a number of fake goods but this same China can produce top quality goods. The fact that the Chinese decide to produce these substandard goods does not in any way negate their ability to produce quality goods.China produces inferior goods to the poor and quality goods to the rich, now apply this excuse and this answer to your god. Why would he wanna create a corruptible creations, if he doesnt have corruption in himself, and corruptible himself, considering China has both the poor and the rich in itself and has to feed all... striktlymi: Now you suggest once again that Energy is of one 'kind'. Let me attempt an explanation...#irritating... you know, am not even debating this claim for now, what am just asking is how the heck did this energy gain its consciousness? Did it just downed on it? Or was it created by a higher, more complex "conscious" energy...... striktlymi: It's 'creatures' whether they have this gift of life or not, retain some characteristics of this ultimate source of Energy. Top on the list is existence. Once it causes something to exist, that thing cannot just become non-existent.waste of nairaland space striktlymi: As I have explained before, this first conscious agent (Energy) is eternal, uncreated and is existence itself. It is its nature to exist. So there is no 'how', 'when' or 'what' etc with it. It just is!ok, but how did it gain consciousness, or can consciousness just be? ![]() And if consciousness can just be, and if we have lot of forms of energy, why then do you believe in just one god...All these sources are supposed to be conscious too, so if you are right, there are probably a billion and one gods out there ....striktlymi: By "conscious agent" I simply mean the source of our consciousness. The above would only be valid if Energy was created.there is no source of our consciousness because that source will also require a source. A river may be a source of water for a community, but have you seen a river without a source? consciousness is only brought about by cell connections, powered by energy... period, energy is not conscious, nor have a personality. only when it has a personality can it choose (freewill) what to give life and what not... striktlymi: In other words, Energy is existence from which all things have their existence. Now you are getting it; hopefully.yep, as long as you dont claim consciousness for this energy, and then claim consciousness can just be. striktlymi: I did not say: "everything powered by Energy is conscious".if energy is consciousness, if it has consciousness in itself, then every form of it is conscious. And everything that it makes up should be conscious. striktlymi: Does Energy have a creator?as long as its not conscious, it cannot be created or destroyed... immediately it become conscious, it requires a greater creator.... consciousness does not just pop into existence, it requires selection, as already explained by evolution. If everything contains energy, then energy is the simplest form of everything, it therefore doesnt have the complexity to be conscious... |
OLAADEGBU: Don't be intellectually schizophrenic. I've already presented the circumstantial evidence of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ on the first page and quoted here for you. Educate yourself and start being logical for once.an empty tomb is not an evidence for a risen zombie, dont be intellectually dumb... |
Sunymoore: U r finally into where. Kidding right?realm of Satan.... |
am finally in, thanks be to Satan, the creator of God. |
Kabieosi: @ nwuyagload of rubbish, as already pointed out... |
honeychild: I think the tree of knowledge in the garden served two purposes:your dumb god put a tree that they werent supposed to eat, right at the center of the garden and at the same time allowed the devil to trick them into eating it, and that is still adam's fault? |
Kabieosi: Not rising to the baitok, how does this answer the op? |
^^^the point is that the tree is not supposed to be in the purview of adam and eve if there were not supposed to eat it..what sort of a father puts poison around his child? That's the xtian god, the unthinking yahweh... |
joel lala: This your post is actual a dumb post..you say it is a universal theory that wasnt started by anybody right? The theory just started by itself and you want me to believe it..yet if christians/muslim says God wasnt created by anyone, you will be ranting up and down...SMHwhats wrong with your brain? evolution is not an invention, and its nobody's culture, its a theory of change and so its general to any thinking community... |
