showafrica:An analogy of textbook and exam, a flawed one by the way, is not concrete proof that our memories were deleted. [s]Mind you some professors allow you to write the exam with your textbooks...just saying[/s] Get the video transcript of the part where he used the analogy, if you can, and post here let use dissect it. |

kevoh: Bro no time, no one has the prove of how human was created. Even the theory of evolution is still a theory. |
Re: Why Does GOD Allow tragic death? by kevoh(m): 10:47pm On Mar 13, 2019 |
showafrica:I think we can then stick to the phrase in bold and call it a day. The Muslim prof, to be polite, is just making a random guess if he can not back it with proof. It's laughable the best defense he has is an analogy of textbook and exam. showafrica: Evolution theory is based on facts that have been confirmed through observation and experiment not through analogies. |

showafrica: Better fact like talking snake and magic apple Funny how some people always try to fault evolution but cannot prove that the story of magic apple and talking snake actually happened |

showafrica:Red Herring alert! What next? Cell Theory? Theory of Relativity? Let's just pick a scientific term and slap theory as a prefix or suffix and then convince ourselves or pretend that using a flawed exam and textbook analogy to explain is proof that our memories were deleted and this proposition is in the league of big bang theory and these scientific theories. showafrica: Really? Did you just say/type science finds a way of pleasing/convincing itself? Ok, I'm done here. |
Re: Why Does GOD Allow tragic death? by showafrica(m): 11:41pm On Mar 13, 2019 |
kevoh: Yea, it usually end this way someone must 'done' lol. I know what I just said.. Following physics from childhood, a lot of theory has been canceled because, someone came with a better fact. Won't be suprised if the next generation call us foolish for following some useless theories we think it's the right one today. |

JUDASiskariot: You're being emotional now, eeyah. Who said that a perfect God must create a perfect world? Who makes such rules or assumptions? Why on earth do you think this world is a supposedly perfect world? |

BlackManta: Why should anyone try to fault what is faulty? It's like trying to damage a damaged vehicle. Evolution is an unproven assumption. Why aren't you evolving since you became a man from a monkey? Planet earth is still turning by chance right? SMH |
Re: Why Does GOD Allow tragic death? by tosyne2much(m): 1:08am On Mar 14, 2019 |
showafrica:I don't believe in big bang theory.. To me, there's nothing of such. This earth did not come into existence by chance as claimed by some people, someone somewhere must have done the crafting which brings about the concept of God Trying to talk about how the earth was formed using science or logic is totally illogical.. Some things are just beyond human knowledge no matter how learned you think you are. The concept of the formation of earth and life cannot be explained by anybody, not even science.. Even the Bible does not explain it in clear terms but only beating around the bush using parables. Those ancient men who wrote the Bible probably wrote it based on their limited understanding about the whole universe and life itself I repeat, no one can explain how we found ourselves here or what happens after death.. We will only keep on guess |

showafrica: This is interesting to read. You say no one has the proof of how humans were created. Do humans have basic imagination? Can you draw a cartoon? What kind of features would it have? Can’t you see there is so much intelligent design. There are patterns everywhere. The sun rises and sets continually. Rains come and go. There is sufficient evidence to show that the universe is organized. Is it a good thing to be organized? Who invented numbers and letters? Why do humans agree to use them? Humans are clearly limited as beings. Do you think mere human hands can create a universe? Humanity is only capable of corrupting a universe. It’s sensible to believe that there is a Good God orchestrating this entire existence. What ensures that humans continue to die forever? You know that the wages of sin is death. Practical deduction gives that humans are all evil sinners. Would God be the most powerful being in existence if he wasn’t good? Good is stronger than evil, right is better than wrong and better is superior to worse. Humans die because they are evidently evil. Since God is only Good, if he created anything, it would be good and perfect like him. This means that God is not responsible for humanity. Humans are a product of their own imagination brought to life by the innate negative ability specific to every individual. This 3D world cannot be the first entry into existence. What about the zero, one and two dimensions? It’s sensible to believe that every individual is born into existence in “ghost” form. The idea of a physical body is a good thing. Humans corrupted God’s idea and gave themselves stinking bum holes, urinary tract, foul odors, fecal matter production etc Every being in existence, God and humans included, has creativity power. It’s just that God is holy and pure while humans are the opposite. This should be reasonable enough. |

Re: Why Does GOD Allow tragic death? by Amhappy(f): 10:55am On Mar 14, 2019 |
After the creation of man,God handed authority to man to rule and conquer the earth. Our Father prayer says 'May thy kingdom come on earth' so which means that the earth is not God's kingdom. Many christians are yet to understand this. Decision of what hapens on earth is taken by man till Christ comes and take over the earth. Man makes mistakes and also can be evil and that's why we have a lot of avoidable deaths. Most death is not God's will but man's will. Natures also takes its cause. But when Christ comes there will be no more death,no more weeping and no more sorrow. However it doesn't mean that God doesn't care about us on earth. If we truly seek his face,he may answer but its His soley His perogative,His will. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen. |

Image123: Did god according to the Bible create an imperfect world? Who makes such rules or assumptions? My assumptions from the Bible in Genesis precisely. Maybe I am making an erroneous assumption, but then am I wrong? Did god who supposedly is perfect according to the Bible create an imperfect world? Why on earth do you think this world is a supposedly perfect world? I'm not thinking that, rather I'm thinking this world is not perfect, and which led me to ask, why would a supposed perfect being create and imperfect world? Doesn't that discredit his perfection? 1 Like |

Re: Why Does GOD Allow tragic death? by Image123(m): 4:36pm On Mar 14, 2019 |
JUDASiskariot: Actually, it is God and not god. Don't add rudeness to being an unbeliever. That's my God, remember? The Bible says God created a world that was 'good'. The definition of good is what you should be considering, as one man's meat is another's poison. He clearly stated that the garden of Eden needed to be guarded/kept. He had His purposes and plans, always does. He defines what He means, not you. I'm not thinking that, rather I'm thinking this world is not perfect, and which led me to ask, why would a supposed perfect being create and imperfect world? Doesn't that discredit his perfection? You said the world is perfect so i needed to verify. A perfect being can do what He likes oga. There is no law that says He cannot or should not do as He likes. You can't define perfection for Him. Under what authority or certificate? lol |
Re: Why Does GOD Allow tragic death? by Tolams16(m): 6:12pm On Mar 14, 2019 |
Let me rectify some misconceptions about this post. You have made your points and i respect that, but to say that the earth has to maintain ecological balance i find untrue yes the earth maintains ecological balance but not by the dead of so many innocent poeple untimely, ( it maintains it by d dead of the elderly, i min natural dead and not tragic and painful ones) i mean if that is d plan then what is the purpose of people coming to this earth or even being born if they re just going to come and die untimely. Yes God accepts our souls and is very hapy to do so but not when it is not our time. Its like saying God sends people to come and spent 10,20 or 30 yrs on this earth and then allow then to die just so they can go back to heaven again, if thats the case then what is the point of even sending them to earth in the first place it does not seem nice, and does not make any sense. Besides, the bible calls God to be just, unbiased, faithful in whom there is no darkness. So therefore i dont see a God of this nature allowing bad things to happen. You made mention of the world not being enough for us, which i also decry i believe the world is big enough for all of us if we apply the wisdom God has given us in controlling our explosive population and reducing the adverse effects of science and tech on nature. Now here is the major point. God is just very just he is light and in him there is no darkness. The person responsible for all this tragedies is Satan and also man. This tragic incidence occur on accord of mans owned action on direct and indirect manipulation from satan. Let me elaborate, i believe most of us are christians and therefore biblical. The devil is in charge of this world, yes he is. Ever since the fall of adam satan has taken control and dominion from man. God gave man control and he lost it to satan, so therefore satan now has that full control. The only one's immuned from this control and manipulation are christians, believers of jesus christ. Since christ came to die for us, he has regained that control and given it back to us, but this priviledge is only available to those who believe. So therefore if you re human and on this earth, without christ in your life, you re under the power of satan either you like it or not. People see so many tragedies in this world and then they blame God. Meanwhile it is all satans doing. How is it God's fault? He has given us a way out, he says if we beleive in him and if we call on him, he will deliver us from the antics of the enemy, seriously speaking how many true believers do we have these days. Tragedies have been happening and will continue to occur as long as satan is in this world, an as long as we have unbelievers or believers who do not understand the scriptures, satan will always cause havoc. It was never God's fault, it has never been God's fault and it will never be God's fault. We all need to have a full grasp and understanding of these concepts, if we do, then we will understand why a lot of tragic events happening on this earth re happening. Thank you. 1 Like |

Image123: You are the one that's kidding. The tree of knowledge of good and evil that Satan in the form of a talking serpent (snake) convinced Eve to eat from. Magic apple is the fruit from this tree. Talking snake is the devil himself. I may have added a little satire and imagery. But you do know what I'm talking about, stop pretending. You are one of those people that believe that talking snake and magic apple makes more sense than evolution. |
Re: Why Does GOD Allow tragic death? by Image123(m): 11:13pm On Mar 14, 2019 |
BlackManta: Oh that, nothing to be satirical about there. I'm not interested in satires but facts. Or maybe God is playing imagery for you? The Genesis 3 account is not unproven as we see its effects reverberating till tomorrow. What more proof do you need of a fallen world the account talks of? Unlike evolution that we only see in film and modelling. Have you started evolving from human being? |

Re: Why Does GOD Allow tragic death? by Image123(m): 12:02am On Mar 15, 2019 |
BlackManta: No, i don't believe satires and imagery. I believe the Bible and you should. It says nothing about talking snake and magic apple. You're sidestepping BTW. Thinking? |

Image123: Human evolution hasn’t stopped. Humans still evolve. Let me explain... Evolution is a gradual change to the DNA of a species over many generations. It can occur by natural selection, when certain traits created by genetic mutations help an organism survive or reproduce. Such mutations are thus more likely to be passed on to the next generation, so they increase in frequency in a population. Gradually, these mutations and their associated traits become more common among the whole group. By looking at global studies of our DNA, we can see evidence that natural selection has recently made changes and continues to do so. Though modern healthcare frees us from many causes of death, in countries without access to good healthcare, populations are continuing to evolve. Survivors of infectious disease outbreaks drive natural selection by giving their genetic resistance to offspring. Our DNA shows evidence for recent selection for resistance of killer diseases like Lassa fever and malaria. Selection in response to malaria is still ongoing in regions where the disease remains common. Humans are also adapting to their environment. Mutations allowing humans to live at high altitudes have become more common in populations in Tibet, Ethiopia, and the Andes. The spread of genetic mutations in Tibet is possibly the fastest evolutionary change in humans, occurring over the last 3,000 years. This rapid surge in frequency of a mutated gene that increases blood oxygen content gives locals a survival advantage in higher altitudes, resulting in more surviving children. Human evolution is still happening and there are evidences to back it up. What evidence do you have to prove that there was a garden where a talking serpent deceived a woman to eat a forbidden fruit Oh right the Bible says so.. Scientists dont make balderdash statements like "a certain book says so"... They do analysis, extensive research, investigation, conduct experiments before coming to any conclusion. 1 Like |
