benzics: Your assertions are myopic, in fact your attack on religion is borne out of your ignorance. How could you claim that the religious books are written by corn artists? Isn't this statement of yours preposterous? You think religion is all about dogma alone. The Christian religion has given everyone the grace to prove and disprove everything written in the Bible. "search all things and hold on to what is true" Most scientific breakthroughs and discoveries are achieved by curiously reading the Bible and trying to either prove or disprove the bible. Every history written in the Bible is with landmark /landscape or description of a place which some scientists in the past had thought to be lie, however recent archaeological evidences are proving most to be right. Note this those who believe in evolution simply because they thought they had evidences against the creationist account of the book of Genesis has not find any fossil(s) of any specie of animal or plants that they could say existed after human being. And we have this in Genesis that after the six creation day God rested from his works of creation. Have you heard of any new specie discovered ? Next time you want to criticise religion please don't commit hasty generalisations, it is fallacious. Observe the following images and respond please I would like to hear from you

benzics: yeah, it makes you gloss over such idiotic acts of your own god while magnifying that of other gods just watch Christians and Muslims have a go at each other on this platform and you'll see that they can pick apart their opponent's beliefs with ease, the reason for this is that while a theist suspends logic when it comes to his/her own beliefs, they judge EVERYTHING ELSE with logic 3 Likes 3 Shares |

benzics: Raelians are atheists because they don't hold any belief in deities . Those atheists believe that aliens created life on earth . They reject evolution . benzics: Atheism is still a belief anyway and the belief there is no God is a supposition . The existence of God is factual , Atheism is denial more like rejection of God . As far as you reject gods or deities you are an atheist . That means an atheist can believe in witchcraft , superstition , reincarnation , veneration of ancestral spirits , magic etc . benzics:It depends as what you see as intelligent design. Theistic evolutionists see natural selection as a mechanism for creation . Life is intelligently designed , the contentious issue should be , by what mechanism . benzics: Funny enough that's what the raelians who like I mentioned before are atheists believe . They believe this idea of intelligent design has been passed down from generations for 6,000 years . benzics: Actually that's fallacious reasoning - appeal to ignorance fallacy . You surmise that God does not exist because of the supposed lack of contrary evidence . If that is what you call atheism, then no wonder it is illogical and repulsive to any logical human 2 Likes 2 Shares |

AlfaAce: I understand you bro.... First, I will like to clarify that the god of the Christian and the entirety of religion didn't equate the existence of an intelligent designer. God and intelligent designer are just two separate entity. Meaning that if God truly exist then the existence of an intelligent designer is null and if an intelligent designer truly exist them it vindicates that the existence of God is void. That is because the god(s) of any religion ain't meet the standard of an intelligent designer. Secondly, if anyone should prove to the world the existence of a Creator, it shouldn't be some silly religious folks sitting their black ass in the dark part of the world and confidently telling the world the Creator that Created the Cosmic. It should instead be some sane personalities among us that are more exposed to the outer world. Thirdly, whether a god exist or not shouldn't be our concern. No one gains any attention in suspense. The anonymity of this god is questionable. What an anonymous god is telling the world is that it doesn't care and doesn't need our attention. Then why giving it a waste? Don't forget that we have thousand of god(s) please. 3 Likes 1 Share |

hopefulLandlord: Don't use words when you don't know their meanings . I don't wish to engage in a logomachy with you but "anodyne" means innocuous - not offensive . That means if his words are not offensive then they shouldn't make him look stupid . You can say the use of invective makes one look stupid - that's much better . 2 Likes 2 Shares |

I'll ignore the earlier part of your post rhektor:is this what you tell yourself to make yourself feel better? why not name 10, just 10 of such "Most Scientific breakthroughs" achieved by curiously reading the buybull? I'll wait nonsense, even most fictional books use real places, doesn't prove anything, you're displaying what's called "Confirmation Bias"
is that why there are two contradicting creation stories in your hole-ly buybull? think brother, is not a sin, is it? 1 Like |

rhektor:I just smile when I read comments like this... Most scientific breakthroughs are achieved by reading the bible?? Like the rejection of the idea that the world was flat?? Or u didn't know that the bible support the notion of a flat earth?. And plss there is ample evidence- not proof- of evolution, creationism is just fairy tales... And there are a lot of historical inaccuracies in the bible. Not to mention the contradictions therein, especially in the new testament 1 Like |

hopefulLandlord: The Second Law of Thermodynamics Confirms Psalm 102:26 First, let us consider the science of thermodynamics: In Psalm 102:25,26, we read, "Of old hast Thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of Thy hands. They shall perish, but Thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt Thou change them, and they shall be changed." In verse 25, we find, restated, the fact that God is the Creator of all that exists. Verse 26 then tells us something highly significant, not about the initial, created state of the universe, but about the present state of the universe. According to this Scripture, written three thousand years before the dawn of modern science, we learn that the universe is like a suit of clothes that is wearing out. In other words, the universe is running down, deteriorating, constantly becoming less and less orderly. That is not what most people believed when this Scripture was recorded. According to human observations, the universe was unchangeable. The statement that the universe is constantly becoming more random, less orderly, is a scientifically testable statement. The fact that the universe, in its present state is deteriorating, has been fully verified by modern science. Everywhere we look, from the scale of the galaxies down to the scale of the atom, we find a universal, natural tendency of all systems to go from order to disorder; from complexity to simplicity. Thus, clusters of galaxies are dispersing as the galaxies move away from one another. The rotation of the earth is slowing; the magnetic field of the earth is decaying. Erosion constantly wears down the features of the earth. Our bodies wear out; we die and decay to a pile of dust. Our houses, our machines wear out and are finally abandoned and replaced. Many atoms decay to simpler products, and it is even being postulated that sub-atomic particles, such as the proton, decay, though ever so slowly, into energy.
