I'll further attempt your second.

Why do humans die?

Humans die because they are living things. Death is a basic characteristic of all living things but it is always triggered by something.

A seedling that lacks sunlight, water and carbon(iv)oxide may not live for 3 days, same with a human baby who suffers malnutrition.

Cats, dogs, birds and every living thing dies, humans are like the rest of living things .
Everything you said is true, but the spiritual exists. The spiritual controls the physical, and the physical explains the spiritual. The fact there are logical processes to things that happen physically doesn't negate the existence of the spiritual. For things to happen, there must be a process. Life isn't magic, there has to be a 'how' .

Not necessarily. Contrarians are generally perceived to be smart because they go against the general populace. They are antagonists of group think and the herd mentality, but that doesn't necessarily make them smart.
listen to your post...fallacy of contradiction.

Bold claims need bold evidence, most religions just have written texts that we know for sure human beings wrote them "in gods name". The god that created the physical world is always shy to appear in it.

He came, in human form -- the greatest of His creations -- but He was rejected, by us, by you. So humble, isn't he?

Correction, you read one of the books that said god came in human form.

The bhagavad-gita also said the same thing before any of them did, why don't you believe that book?

Uncountable religious books who the authors keep claiming magical beings and things.

Modern day religions reference airplanes, the same way old ones reference chariots and bows with arrow.

You get it

They way Revelations describes the Army Jesus will return makes it look like what even a North Korean Army will tear apart. Flying horses and Chariots to fight missiles and anti aircraft guns?

Revelations never mentioned that in the future phones would be used. Never mentioned advanced technology in the war.In his vision, he saw their archaic in our future which isn't so.

Did any of those books state that He gave His life for us, and rose three days after, to reconcile us with Himself?

This is one of the best topics i have seen on nairaland so far,religion is the worst thing that happened to the African continent,yes,the worst thing.One thing i like about atheists is that they do everything by themselves not saying something like i will leave the rest for God.Most atheist countries are first and second world countries while religious or non-atheist countries are mostly third world countries, think about that,it's one thing to be religious and it is another to be spiritual.

This is confirming the famous quote that religion is the opium of the masses.
look around nigeria, religious leaders are scamming, fellows are doing terrible things.
Just this week, someone wants to buy a laptop from me at computer village. He asked for price and i gave me the very best in the market. Mr. Man started saying "do you know that i am an anointed man of God. Do you know that if I bless you, your phone will never rest due to customers calling for your services. Why don't you take this #xyz naira and let God's anointed bless you ?" i told Mr. Man to tell that to ikeja electric when they come to disconnect in his house.

I think atheists are generally smarter because they are more open-minded.Religion tends to decrease one's thinking faculty, you just accept things as they come without taking any definite action or considering possibilities.

This man above is just kidding himself, Atheist think not believing in God makes them look smart and intelligent but in reality it only makes them look stupid. If they are really confident that there is no God then why don't they provide credible answers to important questions that has long been worrying the minds of people like:
1. Where do we come from?
2. Why do we die?
3. What actually happens to us when we die?
4.what is life? since the body alone or the brain alone is not enough to keep one alive, it means there's a force we don't understand which keeps the body alive.
5. Why are we here?
6. How come life is so co- ordinated if it sprang forth from mindless chemical reaction that happened over billions of years
7. Why is there no living proof that shows the missing link in evolution?
8. What does the future hold for us?

You're over worrying yourself for God

Only a fool says in his heart that there is no God

-Psalm 14 vs1.

All of you trying to make atheist and agnostic people see the light should stop please. Even Jesus tried to make people that he is the son of God yet no one believed him.

2 Timothy 2 vs26 is the right answer for all people who argue with this people, I simply leave them to wallow in their ignorance

What about hybrid forms of organisms formed in laboratories?

If Adam was Caucasian or Arab and Eve was Negroid or Mongoloid, how did their offsprings grow into different races.

If everyone came through reproduction, we would have only one race. A mixed race.

Check out even dogs German Shepherds are different from our local breed. Check out goats, Goats from the North are brown while most of the south are white and black. Check out our red apples and exotic green apples , our oranges and American oranges.

They may have one parent but these things became different most likely because of mutation and not reproduction.




It simply means that our creator finds pleasure in variety, this can be seen in the differences in colors, tastes, sizes among life, there are also differences among species. These differences makes life more interesting and beautiful and it is also a proof of intelligence behind the origin of life . If He can create the organism, then why won't he be able to create differences among them if He so pleases. Afterall He knows our make up more than we do. He may have probably included traces of variety in the human DNA that would manifest itself in the next or later generations.

Is it not a supernatural being someone fought with in the Bible and it was begging the person to free it before sun sets?

On checking right now, it was Jacob that fought an angel, hold am for corner. Angel oh?! cheesy

Most interpretations even call the being he fought with god, so god chop beating from human being hand? Genesis 32: 24-26

Funny how people like you now start rephrasing your own questions after being shown what you asked for, reminds me of those that say nothing existed before humanity, only to be shown the geological record then now start saying it's the devil that planted them there. The more your head is planted in that Bible, is the more people see how brainwashed it can make you.

You still haven't answered my question. The question was quite clear: Did any of those books state that He gave His life for us, and rose three days after, to reconcile us with Himself? Obviously, I wasn't trying to verify if anyone else died and resurrected. There are countless accounts of people who have died and resurrected. It appears firmly that your attack is directed towards the Christianity, and not religion generally. You know what? You keep exposing the plan of the devil for what God has ordained. I'm not surprised.

You're running around circles boy, you asked for beings that died for their creations and resurrected after three days and I gave you a link on nairaland that was dedicated to gods who gave themselves up and rose up on 3 days.

And obviously I'm talking about christianity would I be referencing chinese ancestral worship when discussing with a christian? grin

You know nothing about your religion and when caught as a half baked believer you start mudding up the conversation so you can bail out.
