A wall painting is the supposed evidence? How is that different from the story in the Bible?
To keep being in religion, just forget about evidence otherwise you start questioning everything. I've been there.
No specie of fish exists or existed that could swallow a whole person whole. Let's even say it happened and an alien blue whale swallowed Jonah, he would not have survived past 10 minutes without oxygen.
The way the mouth of whales (the world's largest sea creatures) is designed, swallowing an adult person is pratically impossible.

. Have you forgotten that Jonah was a prophet of God, don't compare ordinary man to prophet of God.

Emary:
The Bartley story is an interesting fact. It's possible the specie of whale that swallowed Jonah is now extinct.

even more reason the stomach acid would be stronger

Continue to deceive yourself JEREMIAH 8:8 is guidance.

It seems you don't understand Scripture and where to use it, goan read 2 Timothy 3:16


KJV:How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
ESV:“How can you say, ‘We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us’? But behold, the lying pen of the scribes has made it into a lie.
NIV:“‘How can you say, “We are wise, for we have the law of the Lord,” when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?
AMP:How can you say, We are wise, and we have the written law of the Lord [and are learned in its language and teachings]? Behold, the truth is, the lying pen of the scribes has made of the law a falsehood (a mere code of ceremonial observances)

Actually what this Bible passage meanz iz the Bible said the the law Lord should be in our hearts, inscribed there and if it's in ooi our heart then the scribber are doing no good because people will read for ceremonies sake not for meditating. So bro the Bible is use for reproof in II Tim 3:16 says
KJV:All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
ESV:All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
NIV:All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
AMP:Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitablebu for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God’s will in thought, purpose, and action),

So I know what Am talking about bro

I like your tenacity to liberate halfwits. Honestly, traditional worshippers are even more conscious than the monotheistic religions that make us a subservient pool for further Westernisation or Islamisation.
Nigerians now think they know Jesus more than Oyibo that created the legend. Most will die mental and spiritual slaves because they do not know that humanity and ethics are predecessors and independent of religion.
Thank you.

Please what's your definition of halfwits?
Can you show me how monotheistic religion (say Christianity) "...makes us a subservient pool for further westernization..."?
What is your definition of Oyibo, what part of the world are you referring too? These question maybe funny but I don't want to assume for you before asking the next questions.

It has been said that the best way of faulting a logic is by asking questions, so pardon my questions and please sincerely answer them.
Thank you

Let me put this nonsense to rest -I’m not an atheist but I’m agnostic-I live my life every day on rational thinking-I don’t reason like the nomads who ride on donkeys -I’m a modern thinking human,who live in a modern society-So if you want to ask a nomadic question base on your childish religion of false claim of heaven and talking snakes and 7 virgins listen and learn -We came here like every biological being and through evolution like fish -So we can survive nine months inside our mothers belly like fish -I know we blacks can’t read please read my research or end up been mentally enslaved,myopic and can’t reason for yourself-Wake up or remain a nomad or better still join boko haram (no western education) or start riding a donkey with no electricity or cell phones like your nomads ,scribs religion want you to -Read ! Learn some scientific facts we all cane here like a fish !

From gills to gonads, you're more like a fish than you may believe We all know that humans evolved from a common ancestor of apes. But if you really want to understand how and why the human body works the way it does, you need to look further up the evolutionary tree. “This traveling of the gonads,” “creates a weird loop in the male plumbing that...is involved with the development of a weakness in the male body wall, both during development and later in life. So, the male propensity for certain kinds of hernias relates [to] starting your development like a fish and ending your development like a mammal.”
If you look at the Tree of Life,” “inside every part of our body, every organ, every cell, every gene, we have one entire branch of the history of life which is knowable. It’s knowable by fossils, by comparing DNA and so forth.”

Take the human arm, for example. “If we trace them all the way back through mammals, through reptiles and amphibians, all the way down to fish,”, “they compare to the paired fins of fish — which we can connect from the fossil record, from developmental biology, multiple lines of evidence.” And that's just the beginning.

“If you trace our jaws and ear bones back,”, “it’s very clear that they relate to the gill structures in fish. Again, we know [this] from multiple lines of evidence — the fossils, as well as the DNA. Many of the muscles and nerves and bones that we’re using to communicate right now ... are derived from the gill structures of sharks and fish — and that seems so utterly strange. But when we unravel ... that story, with the evidence behind it, it becomes very powerful.” “If you think about just the basic mechanism by which we turn our heads and know ourselves in space,” he continues, “the eye is coordinated to where we are in space. As you move your head, your eye can remain fixed in gaze, and that's happening because of the communication between your brain and the muscles in your eye. It's wonderfully complex and it’s also wonderfully ancient. The inner ear is indeed one of the most ancient parts of our body.”

Ever wondered about hiccuping — and why it happens? Shubin says this, too, is an example of our ancient link to fish. In this case, tadpoles. “When you hiccup,” that 'hic' is a sharp inspiration, and then the closure of your glottis and your epiglottis — that’s what causes the 'hic.' [It] comes about through a complex, but stereotyped, pattern of activity of nerves and muscles of our pharynx and the back of our throat and in our chest and so forth.”

What drives that physical response, is a mechanism in our central nervous system called a central pattern generator. It turns out that the central pattern generator is part of the normal breathing of tadpoles, which have both lungs and gills. Tadpoles use a version of a hiccup to push water across their gills, not into their lungs.

And then there's the not-entirely-pleasant topic of hernias. The human-fish connection with hernias

“If you look at what happens during development in a shark or a fish,” the gonads actually begin high up ... close to the heart, above the kidneys. Then they [stay] there. What happens in a human is we begin our development with the gonads in a fish position. As we develop and grow, they descend. In females, they descend to the level of the uterus; but in males, they descend and actually push out of the body wall to form this little sac, the scrotum.”

I can't stop laughing. I actually was interested in what you want to pass across because I saw a lengthy post but started laughing after the second sentence. Your claims are so funny that I know I shouldn't address them.

Again, your 'research' is poorly written. So much for one who claimed that we should read it or "...end up been mentally enslaved,myopic and can’t reason for yourself". How do you want me to agree with what you wrote when you can't even cite any reference to verify your statements

Then, I'll advise you read about Heackel's fraudulent drawings

My question is as enlightened as you are what have you done differently to better yourself? Show me how you have become better than the average Christian and also many of the multi-dollar rich Christians who don't get their money from tithes and co.

You want to sound enlightened fine. Now prove that you're with deeds and what you have achieved differently.

Most times it pays to just respect peoples religious views even if you don't believe the same thing. I have seen athiest and christians who are best of friends, who also collabo in business and other social stuff. Should I even mention how Muslim and Christians have collabo in different spaces effectively.

A truely enlightened someone will know life is not hard. We are the ones making it hard for ourselves. Just because I believe in fairytales or whatnot doesn't mean you are better than me. There are many Christians, hindu, Muslims and the rest who command respect and can get into places you can only dream to get in. Not because of their beliefs but because of their achievements.

See as enlightened as athiest are there are still Christians and Muslims who are better than them financially and intellectually.

The point dey your dey make others dey der dey. All these negativity on top something you don't believe in is unnecessary. You can talk from now till next year you still won't convince a religious person to change so why stress? A wise man once said there are no winners in arguments. I recommend you read 48 laws of power so you can understand human nature a little bit more.

All these negativity won't change anything, your just making yourself worked up over nothing. In my own opinion an athiest has no reason to open a religious topic except they are curious or a religious athiest. Same way a Christian shouldn't be jumping into Muslim threads and vice versa. You don't believe in anything there so why enter?

Just respect that you don't believe the same thing and let them have their space. Because engaging them won't change anything. This is too long already, I really hope you discern my point in the end. Have a great day.

They told us to do an experiment with a piece of yam and it proved the theory as a law so keep quiet. But as a person I don't accept theories without doubt, for example the Big Bang Theory, String Theory (which still confuses me) etc. The only one I suspect is true is The evolution theory by Charles Darwin.

Lol, as usual. You cry fowl when an atheist speaks up. No, you don't want to hear it.
They're imposing their non-belief on you. But nobody complains when Christians do worse.
It's not about who's more successful or not.
It's dumb to even make that comparison. There are many theists and atheists who are successful or not.
And no one said Christians can't be successful.
The problem is that, this whole belief system is affecting us as a whole. The whole nation. While we're suffering in the hands of our government, religion is even doing more harm.

There's nothing dumb about my comparison oga learn to discern things before jumping all over to conclude. Did I say athiest aren't successful? The point is your not better than anyone. Its their belief respect it.

All you need is a cursory glance at the Bible to realize that it is full of inconsistent fallacies..
Take away the veil of faith covering your eyes and you will see that the Bible is a child's story book..

I don't know what you want to refer to as 'inconsistent fallacies'. But a good study of the bible shows that it is more coherent for a book that was written by about 40 authors of different works of life and over a period of 1000 years. The problem we have is that folks are one sided which the Bible itself disagree with. Many ONLY read about inconsistencies and wouldn't care to see if those have been addressed. This is exactly what makes the Bible strong.
Many criticize it because it contains stories of miraculous acts but denying that miracle happens is denying an obvious truth. How are the miracles (improbable events) in the bible worse than the following 'miracles':
1. There was NOTHING; no time, matter and energy, yet NOTHING exploded and produced time, matter, energy and the laws which govern them
2. At a point in time, lifeless chemicals assembled themselves and create code for how they should operate; making the most sophisticated 'machinery' ever known - the so called first cell
3. These chemicals miraculously produced mind and intellect, language and so on.

A child story book should not be able to accurately and constantly predict events
A child story book should not have the ability to change hard line criminals to saints

I don't know how you come to your conclusion about the Bible but I would suggest you study it with a clear conscience and an open mind. You should be able to see clearly that it is not what you think about it.

Peace be unto you

For someone who is so wise and yet you can't discern simple things. Didn't you hear the words the point? Those comparison weren't made in isolation. I am sorry they are hurting you so much for some reason but they were made with a point in mind which was you are not better than anyone because of their beliefs.

You keep looking down at people because you feel they believe in fairy tales and what not. I made that comparison because its easy to understand in this country. Just look at your response of dumb. You refuse to critically analyse something and just assume someone is dumb because of your belief that I am religious which I never said I was.

Come on I expect more than this.

Ok now to your questions

1. Not border when people talk about religion. I'd say you are.
2. Again it doesn't trouble me. What troubles me is when you demean others and fail to respect one of the basic human rights which when people choose to exercise you look down on them and call them delusional, as if their beliefs is all they will ever be. Again its simple just as I respect your beliefs as an athiest and don't try to change you and I don't look down on you for it, I only ask you do the same to others. Why is this hard to comprehend?
3. I don't complain alot actually most times I mind my business. But this is getting too rampant. Why is it so hard to just respect the fact that not everyone will believe the same things as you?
4. Does it work? Well I don't know you tell me has it worked on you.

Lol sorry my response are hitting you some kinda way but the truth hurts. This is all totally unnecessary. Now I asked you some questions above please do me the same courtesy as to actually responding to them. Thank you

Hitting what?
I don't care about the dumb comparison you made. I'm only pointing out that it's stupid to bring that up in an argument as if that's the concentration of the argument. It's something that's expected of a child.
"You're arguing with me, are you better than me"? "Does your parents have money more than my mummy and Daddy"? That's exactly how you sound.
And your very smart brain failed to realize that this thread is not a religious thread, but your brethrens have turned it into something else. But you're here wasting your "precious time" quoting me who's going about schooling these folks.
Most of them didn't even read the article before dumping their usual religious mumbo jumbo.

If you aren't bothered about people criticizing religion, then why are you here writing an epistle just to explain that?
Nawa o.... Like you're trying so hard to be heard. Don't worry, you'll be fine.
Like I said, take your advice and chill since life isn't that serious.

And just so you know, atheism isn't a belief system.
At least you learnt something today.
