Shift small make I also join your soliloquy...

If darkness is brought to the realm of nothingness, we necessarily imply that darkness does not exist, just like nothing implies the nonexistence of something; thus creating a logical conflict with the bold.

It will be an oxymoron of some sought to say " real nothing". If "darkness" is not a thing, then it should follow that darkness is as unreal as nothing.

Wow, I didn't realize that soliloquizing can be so much fun.

The university professor challenged his students with this question.
“Did God create everything that exists?” A student bravely replied, “Yes, He did!” “God created everything?” The professor asked. “Yes sir”, the student replied. The professor answered, “If God created everything, then God created evil since evil exists, and according to the principal that our works define who we are then God is evil”.
The student became quiet before such an answer. The professor was quite pleased with him self and boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth. Another student raised his hand and said, “Can I ask you a question professor?” “Of course”, replied the professor.

The student stood up and asked, “Professor does cold exist?”
“What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?” The students snickered at the young man’s question. The young man replied, “In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-460 degrees F) is the total absence of heat; all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat.”
The student continued, “Professor, does darkness exist?”
The professor responded, “Of course it does.” The student replied, “Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact, we can use Newton’s prism to break white light into colors to study the various wavelengths of each color. You can not measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn’t this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.”

Finally the young man asked the professor, “Sir, does evil exist?”
Now uncertain, the professor responded, “Of course as I have already said. We see it every day. It is in the daily example of man’s inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil.” To this the student replied, “Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not like faith, or love that exist just as does light and heat. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God’s love present in his heart. It’s like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light.” The professor sat down.

Syncan:
Oga Ubenedictus you're next, make I chose psalm for you?

All brethren please pick a psalm you'll want us to pray for you as an addition on your day...if you so desire.

jnrbayano:
MariaGoretti,

May the Lords goodness be unleashed atop you, your family and friends now and for all-time.

Amen.

Ubenedictus:
thanks for giving me ur date, i would have no problem if you pick a psalm for me. I guess there are no laws that says I can't have 3 psalms instead of 2.

Anyway, I'll chose ps 19, i'll fight the temptation to add ps 20.

Syncan:
How did I miss this? I will post something for you, an interesting conversation...

darknez:
Another nice story attributed to Einstein but I fail to see the relevance of the story. Definitions or an ability to carry out an objective study of an 'item' does not determine what exists or not; otherwise we could say that God does not exist based on the same principles he applied.

My question to you is yet unanswered.

I choose 30th of May. Myself and Eunice Oyewumi



Can I put forth a prayer request?


And can I have a hymn rather than a psalm? If not psalm 69!

Kamsified:
For uniformity sake, I'll put u down for Psalm except the elders approve a hymn instead

Yes u can put forth a special request.


Meanwhile *in a whisper* going by the bolded, I can guess that palm wine & kolanut is waiting for the elders

May 30th is noted sweerie

Syncan:
Really? That's not true, for the existence of God is proven Objectively by studying the effects to arrive at the cause. However you may want to tell me then what determines what exists? So I can know how darkness is covered by it.

darknez:
No! That's not the principle the dude applied. The principle of Cause and Effect can be applied to those phenomenon he dismissed as nonexistent.

Whatever cannot be experienced does not exist. Darkness and cold can be experienced, hence their existence. Same with God!

Kamsified:
I suggest that we make it like a novena of 10Hail marys+a psalm daily, for the intentions of each participant. Each person can chose a day they want to be remembered.
When it's your turn, you say some words of encouragements, ask questions, post something or make a speech on that special day. You can also post the specific thing you want us to pray for you about. ...

Syncan:
In line with the below (especially in bold), I think you're in order. If you post a hymn on your day, we will sing along with you.
