leofab:
what are you saying? Are you calling Jesus Christ God ? You mean God died?? Use your head sir!!!!

lookandlaff:
Millions of years before we discovered the world was round, Several millenia before we "discovered" America. You really expect after only 50 years of space exploration to find anything? Do you know a sophisticated Ancient city considered to be the largest in the ancient world was recently discovered by Archeologists, do you know that the white man was amazed at the technology behind the Benin bronze industry and considered it highly advanced and ahead of it's time There is evidence of sophisticated ancient civilizations long before us if only we put down our bibles and picked up a book every now and again and actually tried to educate ourselves, if only we watched discovery channel instead of Africa magic and benny Hinn/Morris cerrullo.

kingsilly:
This still baffle me though, the world is very mobile now, you can get Christian message on the go, the necessity to gather in a particular place is long loosing its value, I don't need to be in a particular setting to pray, read my bible and say my Graces. I agree they are churches that preach the gospel the way it is, but that's like finding a needle in a haystack.

IRREVO:
Rational man pls tell me how on earth does one give birth to a deaf child? Believe me sir our faith and blind trust in a God (a supreme being) is our biggest strenght in Nigeria.God bless you sir and heal your beloved daughter.

mmsen:
I'm glad that people are finally having this discussion about religion and its effects on the Nigerian psyche.

leofab:
i believe in humanity and not a supreme being that I can't see with my eyes..I wil start believing in your God when manna start falling again and all my humanly endeavours being taken care by an heavenly being but until then my allegiance is with my fellow humans whom I can't survive without... Thank you

donofdons:
[size=18pt]i am happy someone is coming out to say this....religion is really the greatest problem faced by africans and the world today....a man sees what is true and proven and chooses to believe in things that are imaginary. We already have a whatspp group of humanists and freethinkers in nigeria...just add me and i will contact you if you wanna join us to move humanity forward..thanks[/size]

bxcode:
So your evidence of disproving the existence of a supreme being is because you can't behold him with your mere human eyes?
Does out mean that once you can't see something then it dosent exist?
The phone that you are using to type these things can you see the electromagnetic waves surrounding it and drawing signals to it? But does it mean they dosent exist?
You can't yet figure out millions of hidden discoveries scattered all over the universe and yet you want the creator to appear to you before you believe that he exists?
Are you actually being logical or merely arrogant and foolish?
Am saying this in love, but how dumb can you get and still breathe?
God exists and the evidence are all around you, and it's not a matter of proof for you, it's a matter of trying to deny and suppress them.
If you want to see God truly, seek him and you will find him. He always shows up if you are humble enough to accept that you are confused about the whole thing and need the truth and not going about it in arrogance and waving of anything you don't understand.

NORAD:
Excuse me. The world is just 6000+ years old. Go on, quote science and radiocarbon dating technique as much as you like.

NORAD:
It's not about time in this case.
Billions of planets have been probed for signs of life, and nothing positive so far.
If you take the cumulative efforts modern scientists have put into shaming religion by looking for extraterrestrials, then you'll understand how many thousands of years we're taking about here.

NORAD:
Well said.

Kachisbarbie:
Very true.
That's how somebody's half tank dried up in less than 10km after his car was hijacked...

I went for a condolence visit on Sat, this lady lost her baby. She was having prolonged labour and her pastor said she shouldn't be operated on, that she would deliver like the Hebrew women (this very Hebrew women, did he see how they all delivered?) They all came to the hospital and started praying_ the husband refused to give consent, she sef wanted to push.

Well, she finally pushed. She pushed a stillborn

Mehn, I hate religious extremists.

MathsChic:
It is not needed. Don't make an excuse for mediocrity.

KingEbukasBlog:
@ Mopolchi ... sorry for the "Sharap " sha ... hope no love lost

LucifersTongue:
Hehehe. 6000 years old. LOL. You used a smartphone made of transistors, LED etc (working theory heavily dependent on quantum mechanics) to send this message, yet you refuse to accept scientific dating techniques based on same/similar theory.

Also, calm down on the "billions of planets" talk, under two thousand exoplanets have been discovered and although a bunch of them are outside the habitable zone, not many of them have been fully confirmed to be devoid of life. Although even if all approx. 2000 were to yield negative result on the search for extraterrestrial life, it still isn't enough to overturn the huge statistical unlikelihood that we are alone in the universe.

Finally, this isn't a competition. Scientists do not think of religion when doing research. They merely observe physical phenomena and strive to provide testable theories with the aim of obtaining a closer approximation to the truth of the universe. What comes after is basically the philosophical impact of the facts gained from probing our universe, which usually serves as counter-evidence for all that religion stands for.

Have a nice day and read real science texts, not the pseudo-scientific garbage floating around on the internet.

NORAD:
Thank you but I'll stick to my 6000+ years theory about the earth's age.

dearpreye:
Can you see how religion has ripped you off of empathy and compassion? That's what mindless religion does to weak minds.

Whether you're religious person or not, challenges are a part of our existence; ALL men MUST have a fair share of challenges and difficult times.

God isn't dealing with the Prof in any way. The current area pastor of my RCCG has a kid with an hearing aid fixed visibly on the left side of his head. That's life.

Once you lose your compassion, your humanity is GONE. There's no heaven for cold hearted fellows.

TrajansKong:
Fascinating. What is this figure based on??

Ruq:
It has Killed more than That. I sometimes thinks it stunts intelligence, but to those who really understand, it is needed in a society despite its shortcomings.

NORAD:
Thank you but I'll stick to my 6000+ years theory about the earth's age.

Who's talking about discovery of exoplanets? Aren't there billions of stars out there, and don't scientists believe each star is a sun, having its own system of planets?

Of course we're not alone in the universe. Isn't your moniker LucifersTongue? You should know better then.

jamace:
The wise ones use foreign religion to fool the ignorants.

LucifersTongue:
Of course, you have a right to stick with whatever belief you hold - even in the face of increasing number of evidence which makes you willfully ignorant unfortunately.

There're trillions of stars in the universe but I have no idea where you got your information that they're all devoid of biological living organisms.

I no know any demons o, them be fictional characters! LucifersTongue was picked cos it sounds nice, could've picked FlyingMonkey. Wouldn't change a thing.

Since you're sure of the existence of supernatural beings on some of those planets + 6000 year old earth, kindly provide proof to the general scientific community and proceed to bag your Nobel Laureate. At least, you go make us proud!

NORAD:
Trust me, even if manna falls right now, you still won't believe. Here's why:

“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they [atheists] are without excuse" (Rom 1:20).

leofab:
those words are written by people just like these controversial "God of men" we have these days..imagine if the bible wasn't canonised people like Rev. Kings; orisejafor and eddy nagwu wound have contributed their own books...

RobinHez:
It's called a miracle.. Dummy!

Teempakguy:
and you call yourself an engineer?
more like quackgineer.
