Seems you have a lot of unanswered questions. Before I proceed, I want to ask you a question;
Which sounds more reasonable, the big bang theory/evolution or a mastermind behind creation?
These people are followers of men but Satan used a veil to cover their sight making them feel important in their mind.
Fabricators of atheism are rebellious humans who thought they can't submit to books written by people who lived when there was nothing like technology, to them they can also write books to control people in billions since they're now living in the computer age.
So all their arguments is motivated by a single driving force: DISOBEDIENCE smiley

But you worship 8 baldheads in watchtower, and without these old men, you and your family are condemned.
Fabricators of baldheads worshippers basing their lives on random books with UNKNOWN AUTHORS, their masters in watchtower even went a step further to create their own VERSION of the book specially meant for discrete slaves and fallen watchers cheesy

I don't go by what sounds “reasonable".. i go by what can, or has been proven to be true.

The big bang and evolution are not things based on belief. They are things based on fact.. and they have a lot of proof behind them.

That being said, they don't answer everything. Their answers are limited to an extent. And we're still trying to understand things about our reality.

If you want to go by “reasonable"... you'll be misled... Greatly.

Seeing the sun rising from the east and setting in the west.. it seemed more reasonable to say that the sun revolved around the earth. That was proven to be wrong.

Merely looking straight ahead, or over the horizon, it seems “reasonable" to say that the earth was flat. Our early ancestors believed that. But they were wrong.

Don't seek for what is “reasonable" because that is highly subjective. Seek for what is true

How's the evolution theory and bigbang facts exactly?
Where are the testable evidences for them? You've got some CCTV footage of how it happened?
Re: Why I, As An Atheist, Spend My Time Debating Religion by iamyungkhalifa(m): 9:47am On Sep 16, 2022
But do you know the earth has foundations and four corners actually . There are also pillars and doors . Check the book of job 38. The problem is that you guys dont know life is spiritual . Geography says the earth is spherical , and if you check your atlas you will see it and it was suspence in space , floating but we that are inside have never felt it. Can you see now that even if the earth is flat we wont know can it was created by a spirit being whose knowledge we can never comprehend. More over those sphere shape of the earth is just the atmosphere to shield us from the ray of sun and also other celestial bodies which could harm us. We human depend on science and its ruining us. I can never forget that stupid theory that man evolves from ape. Lol

You seem to be a huge fan of CCTV footages.

Before I continue.. It's important to know what these theories actually say.

The big bang posits that the universe, as in space, matter and time as we know it, began about 14 billion years ago, from a point of infinite density.

What proofs do we have? We have the CMB, or cosmic microwave background, which shows the aftermath of the heat of the early hot and dense universe.

We also have information from our telescopes that show the galaxies are moving apart from each other. Turn back the arrow of time, and you bring the galaxies closer together.. till you get to the scenario similar to the big bang..

Evolution.. is the gradual adaptation of an organism to its environment. Not the idea that man came from apes... Even though evolution is a time intensive process, we've seen the gradual changes organisms undergo in response to their environment. And archeological data further confirms it.

Now... There's something else I'd like to point out. Something I've seen a lot of theists do.

When they don't want to accept these facts.. or find some flaw in their evaluation.. they automatically take it to mean that the biblical or Quranic creation stories are true. There is absolutely no correlation

Even if you were to be successfully disprove the big bang and evolution (good luck with that).. it does absolutely nothing, to show that your biblical creation story indeed happened. It would only show that we simply do not know that which we thought we knew.

In order to say your biblical creation story were true .. you would need to prove it. Disproving something else does not automatically prove your own argument.

And in a sarcastic attempt to flip your question back at you... I'll ask "Do you have CCTV footage of how your creation story happened"??

thank you jo this people dont know anything they are living their lifes on science. Am sure if i tell them a man once shut up the heaven and did not let rain to fall for three and a half years . They will argue too. am talking of elijah. And if they also want to based every thing on facts . They should briefly explain the handwritting on the walls in the book of daniel and how king nebuchadnezzar also went to the to be with the beasts of the field in the wilderness and eat grass like an oxen without dying. Am sure nobody could eat stubborn grass right?

Do you believe that Muhammad split the moon in two? Or rode on a flying horse?

Do you believe that thunder happens when Thor strikes his hammer?

can you see where the devil has tricked you . You are comparing what happened in history to nollywood movies. Abeg where did mohammed split the moon. ? Doctrines from the pitch of hell.

Ok then.. please show me where your God created the universe in 6 days.. please show me where the sun stood still for joshua . Please show me where your Jesus turned water into wine or walked on water.. or multiplied 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes

Just as you reject the claims of other religions.. i reject the claims of yours. If you want me to believe your claims.. then you have to prove it.

14 millions years ago is really like eternity.
Everything you say are just speculations. Nobody saw how the bigbang happened and no testable evidence for it today and there can never be.

About the creation story in the Bible, there's no CCTV footage for it but there's obviously a written record.

I just made reference to the data we've seen that proves these things happened, and you're still saying they're just "speculations". Did you bother to read up on these things, or are you one of those science deniers too. You choosing not to engage with the data, or choosing to deny it, won't change the fact of reality.

About the creation story in the Bible, there's no CCTV footage for it but there's obviously a written record.
Written record of what exactly? Did the person who wrote it down directly experience the creation process? What about other stories of creation found in other religions? What automatically makes theirs false and yours true?

I'll ask you again;

Which secular history. Drop names of the books you’ve read it, it shouldn’t be hard since it’s been done “many times”.
Scripture simply means Writings.

Atheism simply means lack of belief in theos.
And theism means belief in theos.

Wrong analogy. Very very wrong analogy.

By virtue of the human reproductive process, I know that every human offspring requires a male and female parent in order to be conceived. I can logically follow the line backwards, to the existence of my great, great, great, great grandfather as you've said.

Do I know what kind of man he was? Do i know if he was fat, or slim, or athletic? Do I know if he was kind or wicked, if he liked to sing, or if he liked to fight? I do NOT. All I know, is that by virtue of how humans are born, I have a great, great, great, great grandfather.

Similarly, by virtue of the universe, we can infer that it was caused by something. Unlike the human reproductive process which we have studied, we have not studied other universes to know what causes them. All we know by virtue of our own, is that it was caused.

The details of who caused it are unknown to us. As well as the nature of said causer/causes. Your analogy is greatly flawed.

Lol. Are you kidding me? What did you reference exactly?
You didn't even cite or referenced any source.
You should also bring some kind of video that shows how the bigbang happened.

Written record of what exactly? Did the person who wrote it down directly experience the creation process? What about other stories of creation found in other religions? What automatically makes theirs false and yours true?
The author didn't experience it but was inspired by the creator.
Bring the stories in other religions. We can examine them together.

That's a false dichotomy. It is not a "God" or "random explosion" scenario.
Here is my question again;
You as an intelligent human being, using the evidences of what you see around, how the earth is organised, did everything happen randomly or was it designed by an intelligent being?

Or do you have more options to the question? A "I don't know" answer wouldn't be relevant here.

You're missing the point. It's not about comparing different stories to see which is "better". It's about facing reality. If you want to verify if a story is true, compare it with reality, not with other stories.

If someone doesn't know something, it is perfectly ok to say "I don't know". That is intellectual honesty. The problem is claiming to know and failing to prove it.

That being said, the intricacy of the universe, down to the subatomic scale denotes an enormous level of complexity, which can be associated with intelligence. What exactly is your point here?

I say this with all due disrespect, but you're incredibly, and disgustingly racist. For someone who claims to belong to a community with "no racism" it's hypocritical and quite pathetic that you would say something like this. Black man's intelligence? White man's arguments? What the actual fuc..k??

Knowledge is not confined to race. And atheism is not a religion. We don't try to emulate anybody. We simply lack the belief in a god. So your statement about renown atheists makes zero sense.

The fact that you can parrot a damaging narrative like this, and come back to claim JWs are free from racism, is appalling. This is the second time your intellectual dishonesty and hypocrisy have been exposed.

Your grammar can't change the fact that it's whiteman that's propagating atheism globally claiming evolution is better option regarding how life begins not blackman.
There is a specific race God chose to use for the propagation of His kingdom {Zechariah 8:23} other nations are to attach themselves to the CHOSEN race! Revelations 7:5-8
But despite this once you're part of the family you'll be treated as a bonafide member not the way your atheist whiteman will look down on you due to your skin color or even use you for one of his experiments! cheesy

So orderliness is what i call God's arrangement not racism because all members of the global family are treated equally despite the fact that God chose the race that will always be in the forefront when talking about pure worship! Genesis 12:1-3 smiley

While I’m late to this thread I think it’s a good place to continue our debate. I’ve just commented elsewhere concerning the coherence of modern science and Christian theism, along those lines, I intend to address your points concerning the Big Bang and evolution; two suspiciously religious theories.

Given an Origenist allegorical interpretation of the early chapters of Genesis, evolution is dependent on intelligent design. The components of evolution (Darwinian natural selection, Mendelian genetic heredity, possibility of mutation, common descent and micro-adaptations) are all well evidenced scientifically except spontaneous generation. Spontaneous generation is a poorly supported scientific attempt at avoiding the existence of God. Given this weak link, it is sound to inquire where the first unicellular organisms got its life from. On theistic evolution-which provides a fuller picture than atheistic evolution- God is still required to have created this life.
