4everGod:


He does not like organized religion! He believes and Loves God but not as seen and interpreted via scripture. He is closer to a deist but i would see him as a seeker.

I noticed that too . He is professing the deist thoughts . He just told me he goes to Church and fasts . I think he is a Christian deist without actually knowing it .

People who are open minded and humble , Christ will always intervene and lead them to path of Truth .

I'm going to answer some questions that most scientists consider to be stupid.


We didn't just evolve from monkeys. We are monkeys. Look at your face, then look at a monkey's face. Look at your hands, then look at a monkey's hands. We still have forest dwelling, tree climbing, furry monkeys because they didn't compete directly with us as hominids did.


Each hominid was probably wiped out by the hominid that preceded it. They were in direct competition with each because, unlike monkeys, they lived in the same places and ate and hunted similar things. The more intelligent species were more successful than the less intelligent ones and eventually drove them to extinction. Intelligence doesn't always win in nature. A deer needs speed more than it needs intelligence. Without the ability to handle tools, no amount of intelligence will help a deer against a lion. A tree monkey needs agility more than it needs intelligence, or it will fall and die. Also, intelligence is expensive. Our jaws are weak because we have smaller jaw muscles, but this leaves more space for the brain. 25% of the sugar in your blood is consumed not by your arms or legs, but by your brain. That's a lot! We are lucky that our ancestors found themselves in situations where intelligence was good for their survival. That's why we are here today.

How are u a monkey?
Then what is a human being?
U people amaze me.

And then u say because by looking at monkey face, you concluded that u r a monkey too.
Abeg what type of science is that?
So what will u say about people that have lion face?
They are also lions? Hmmm.

And then u say "more intelligent" ones.
Please who determined the ones to be "more intelligent"?

And in which order did the evolution take place? The more intelligent or the less intelligent, who eveolved first?
If u say the lesser ones evolved first, it means they were watching as humans evolved and started building houses abi?

When will u people retire from this google and wikipedia confusion?

sorry, stop trying to limit them. you are not nature so you cant decide what they can do and what they cant do. those scientists talk nonsense many times and you take it for it being absolute truth. same thing religious people do. lock out the brain and believe even if you cant prove it. undecided
I am not trying to limit them that's just how their physical body Is if you wanna know other stuff they use their intelligence for Google.com is there for you...

Pls stop accusing me falsely without any prove i Aldo don't agree with science on everything given the fact that we have most creationist opening scientific website and publishing bullish#t that's why I'll rather read good books..

sorry. with their 70% level of intelligence they would have come up with something. since we use hands to eat, do dolphins use hand to eat? since we use legs to walk do dolphins use legs to swim? you are so wrong for thinking every "intelligent" specie must have hands and legs lolz.
this humans using 10% of their brains...i dont think its true oo..
Any scientific journal to back it up?
I believe we use our brains 100%
Re: My Experience As An Atheist For Three Weeks. by jonbellion(m): 11:51am On Dec 02, 2016
The problem with the creationist evolutionist debate is that creationists have this imaginary barrier in their head that speciation is limited
But funny enough they use natural selection to justify the fact that animals from the ark must have evolved into.thier different kinds
In less than 6000 years
What sort of madness is this??

The most common objection to atheism is, "if you don't believe in God, them who created us. That's how we got there. undecided
But this has nothing to do with evolution na evolution only explains diversification of life.. Abiogenesis does more on what they seek..

Look at your face, then look at a monkey's face. Look at your hands, then look at a monkey's hands. We still have forest dwelling, tree climbing, furry monkeys because they didn't compete directly with us as hominids did.

So these are your reasons why you are a monkey? Where are hominids today?

How come monkeys outlived those that competed with us?


Each hominid was probably wiped out by the hominid that preceded it.

Hmmmmmmm at the bold

How come the one preceeding monkeys didn't wipe it out?

Those things are myth. thats what many Christians dont know. i have a brother in seminary, he even told me it is foolish to argue myths. he says you only accept them with faith.

You do realise that the 10% thing was based on theistic brains as atheists are too insignificant to use. But if they had used them it would have been like 5% brain usage.

Why would they reasonably become extinct? Why did the one in the beginning and end resist extinction but those in the middle became extinct, what a dumbness! So extinction happened in the middle alone but left the beginning and the end to make sure that you are here to argue blindly. Oh my God there's nothing we won't see on nairaland
extinction is neither a linear pattern too..
And please do not insult when you quote me...

lolit is just arrogance that is doing all of you
You classify all cats under the family felindae and there is no argument there
But when it comes to the homindae there us still a heavy dispute that has been going on for two centuries now when the evidence is stronger than it ever was

Then what is a human being?
Biologically, yes. More specifically, we are apes, like chimpanzees and gorillas. Our unwillingness to accept this suggests enormous pride.

And then u say "more intelligent" ones.
Please who determined the ones to be "more intelligent"?
We are not 100% sure that they were less intelligent but all the hominids except the Neanderthals had smaller brains.

And in which order did the evolution take place? The more intelligent or the less intelligent, who eveolved first?

First, try to understand it. Then if you still think you are smarter than the scientists who figured it out, you can start criticizing it.
