You must not have heard of the Arab/islamic golden age.

If you were not religiously brainwashed and also a habitual lie mohammed, you would have realised by now that many societies/cultures/religions contributed to science in their own way.

To credit christianity with modern science is a gross overstatement and hence a lie.

He is under no obligation to say the truth. Will you as a christian run from an atheist?
Would Jesus run from an atheist?
These people are desperate. This thread might be headed for front page.Stalin is one out of almost 70 atheists that imposed atheism on the world in the 20th century.
Ive given examples no one has been able to refute.
Till today in atheist north korea, christians are still hung on a cross fire, steamrolled and crushed to death.
Christianity is the reason you have a voice.
So when will you frame your story.
If you can be this desperate to spend your life on a religion section, then i dont think a very convincing story will be much of a big dealIf it was a miracle story, the idiots will be screaming evidence upandan.Keep crying....
We believe in Christ.
We will continue to.

Even the bible contains quotes from satan, quotes from men etc.
So u can see that u dont even understand the term "bible"?

If u like quote what the devil said from the bible (e.g when the devil tempted Jesus) and begin to argue that the bible is the word of God.
Even a kindergatten kid knows thats called "quoting out of context"

So no point there, sorry

And please read about prophets in the bible who lied. Its all there. Again, quoting out of context cant be used as an alarm raiser.
You simply cut and paste a part of Jeremiah's lamentations and use it to make a claim. Yeah right.

Its as good as cutting "God exists" from a sentence from Richard Dawkins book and using it to conclude that Richard Dawkins believe in God. Stupidity!
youre the stupid person here...
A prophet of God who is supposed to be under the influence of the holy spirit said your god lied...not once but twice...i asked a simple question...did jeremiah lie?
A simple yes or no is not costly...
Do you even know how you sound?

According to you...
The bible said in a place; god is all good and all loving and all merciful

in another place a prophet said and recorded that god flooded the whole earth including babies...

God is all loving so the prophet made a false accusation...god didnt flood the babies


or the concept of hell....the prophets are liers since god said he is all merciful...


Serzly are you okay?


Nevertheless, I know why u keep quoting out of context, its because u just want to keep talking by all means.
i see you have psychosis...

Read the whole of jer 20 and jer 4 and state how i quoted out of context...
I remember vividly...i gave you where your god himself admitted to being a lier...(eze 14:9)
Which you stylishly ignored..
In your bible...cases like that happened.
1 kings22:23 etc..

Simply say you dont know instead of feigning knowledge

But even kids can read and know better. You can really improve.
an argument at hominem wont help you...
Claiming i copped out a statement but in the case of the fig tree you did so...
Mind you..you havent answered the other contradictions
The fig tree et all..

shadeyinka:
For the first time raphieMontella I appreciate the way you presented facts and reasons in defence of your position. I hope this can continue and I tell you, you are on the way of becoming a friend.
no problem brother
You have some very strong point here to which I may not have adequate answer; but I will try my best.



I read the whole of Rom9:1-33 and I must confess, you have a point. How can Pharaoh know that he was following a script destined for him? Rom9 seems to say that God reserves the right to do with anyone whatever He chooses. Using the illustration of the Potter and the Clay, God is sovereign and thus justified. If this is the case, then the whole episode falls on Gods Responsibility to punish or not to punish a mans action. To this end, no one knows how God will decide/judge the case.

However, can anyone say that his misbehaviour on earth was caused by God? No!
For God could say "I didn't make you do evil..you chose to do evil by your own volition". In that case, the responsibility falls on man to do his utmost at being righteous. If indeed God designed him for evil and he did evil despite the fact that he strove to do good, then since God is righteous, he might have a case.
aiit..so he does predestinate at times


However, in the case of Judas, there is no evidence that he was destined to betray Jesus



The above is just a case of Foreknowledge and Devine Timing in action. If Jesus was born in Nigeria, one of his friends would have betrayed him. Foreknowledge is different from Predestination!
okay...
But when you are the creator and all knowing...
Why then ''go-ahead'' to still create the person?
The scripture is:

Rom 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Step 1: Foreknowledge
Step2: Predestination for those who were Foreknown to conform to the image of Christ.

If you where NOT foreknown, you are not predestined!
look at the bolded..dont you think that since god is the creator of all of us(our souls and spirit) he has foreknown us all?
Look at jer 1:5..

Look at john the baptist...read from luke 1:11- the end..couple that with the prophecy which said abt his coming in isaiah 40:3...
How wasnt he predestined?


Ok...lets look at these verses
ephesians 1:4-5

and 2 thessalonians 13
take note of the words there
''beginning and foundation of the world...''

You can educate yourself here: www.exploregod.com/the-language-of-dna

After reading, come back and attempt the OP.
still not arbitrary...maybe you should look up the word urself...
Let me make it clear again..
It said words= codons
TCT=a certain amino acid,,,GGC =another...
GGC can not be modified to mean TCT...
Sentences=allele(gene)
TCTGGAGAC is just as meaningful as TAGGCCACA
but
he is wicked is the same in meaning as he is mean.

CCGATGCCA is just as meaningful as CCGATG
but
He is very wicked has a meaning
''is very'' alone is meaningless



clear?

Observation - light bulb comes on.

Inference - perhaps its magic... or perhaps its a tiny sun.. .or perhaps its electricity...

Evidence - the flow of electrons can be measured, it can be induced, it can be stored. So we have evidence of the physical
phenomenon (electric current), and its medium (copper wire).


Observation - plants die in darkness

Inference - perhaps they were lonely...perhaps plants need light...or perhaps its magic

Evidence - The activity of photosynthesis can be observed in the lab. Along with the medium in which it occurs (chlorophyll). Its
may be measured, and its dependence on chlorophyll proven.


Observation - metal attracts metal

Inference - perhaps metal is friendly...perhaps magic again...perhaps there is a force which exists in/around the metal

Evidence - this force can be detected, it can be induced in metal, it's direction can be measured (compass) as well as its
magnitude (magnetometer).

So let's take this from the top.

Observation - objects seek horizontal rest.

Inference - magic?...invisible companions holding us all down, or perhaps there is a force which exists in/around all objects (gravity).

Evidence - huh??




You've taken the observation and called it evidence. You could have just chosen magic.

Now you go find me something that fits in that third row.
evidence i gave you?


Gravity has been measured...
Laws governing gravity made and constant with calculations
artificial gravity has been induced...
We have been able to conduct gravity assisted flights...

The one mistake you will make..is if you cement in your mind that a code must give instructions on how to build a molecule
DoctorAlien:
grin Tryna deviate from the OP?

Anyway, the DNA copies the instructions coded(by pyrimidine bases) in it with extreme accuracy, such that a mistake occurs only once in about 10000000000000 times. This same mistake is responsible for variation in species. That is the reason why even siblings don't look exactly alike.

Address the OP, and don't bring in the ACTGGG-whatever.
i did...you refused to see it...lemme help you more..
code (kōd) n. 1. a. A system of signals used to represent letters or numbers in transmitting messages. b. A system of symbols, letters, or words given certain arbitrary meanings, used for transmitting
messages requiring secrecy or brevity. c. An access code. d. A special command, such as a sequence of keystrokes, that allows a user to activate a hidden
or accidental feature in a computer program or
video game. 2. A system of symbols and rules used to represent instructions to a computer; a computer program. 3. Genetics The genetic code.
4. a. A systematically arranged and comprehensive collection of laws. b. A systematic collection of regulations or rules of procedure or conduct: a building code. 5. Medicine Code blue. 6. Slang A patient whose heart has stopped beating, as in cardiac arrest.
dna is not an arbitrary code like a language....dont start what you dont understand...

Brother, stop embarrassing yourself and google the meaning of "code." DNA is a code, a language. Moreover, codes and programs can be modified whereas laws can't bend. Please read. Don't come to arguments uninformed.
silly from you though...
Can you bend the allele ATGCTTC to mean the same thing as ATCTTGA?
Ehn?
The law of gravity is isn't a code, just like the laws of thermodynamics. They are not languages.
is gravity a law?
I ask again
Can a language be written by anything other than an Intelligent Being?
always calm down and listen...

what is a code?
Codes are arbitrary....dna is not...
We are not talking about laws in this riddle.
is gravity a ''law''?

A code is a program(software) written, on which a process can run. More like an information/instruction.
So, gravity is a program on which what runs?
is dna a ''program(software)''
or contains a ''program(software''?

This is very very embarrassing coming from you. Please educate yourself.

1 + 1 = 2 isn't science. It is mathematics. To be precise, it is a mathematical definition.

As for your second rhetorical question, it also shows lack of understanding. There are many
examples in the scientific theory of evolution, itself, of co-option and exaptation.

Unfortunately, this is typical. People who follow science mainly through popular media have little idea of what they are supporting.
what does scientific theories and science base on?
Are laws of physics independent of mathematics and its concepts?


Evolution sire...is not darwins theory of evolution...thats where you mistake it...

Seun,

You said scientists have a good record of saying the truth.(LOL) In 2007, fishermen caught a very rare creature known as a Coelacanth. Evolutionists originally told us that this “living fossil” had gone extinct 70 million years ago. It turns out that they were only off by 70 million years. See the link here: [url]news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6925784.stm[/url]

Perhaps, the most famous fossil in the history of the theory of evolution, "Piltdown Man", turned out to be a giant hoax. See the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piltdown_Man

Chai! LOL grin I laugh at the way "scientists" deceive these gullible atheists.

sinequanon:
Science, itself, isn't about truth. It is about a certain kind of "consistency" and "predictability".

Scientific findings are not "true", they are "currently accepted in the field". Science evolves.

And, in general, scientists are no more honest than anybody else. Because something is "scientifically accepted" does not mean it is true.

The worst recent case of deception in the scientific community is the supposed confirmation of the Higgs Boson.

You will recall that, during the theatrical debacle, designed to justify investment in enhancing the Large Hadron Collider, Stephen Hawking actually pretended that he had lost his bet that the the Higgs Boson did not exsist, and Peter Higgs was awarded the Nobel Prize!!
so the 1+1=2 evolves?

Atheism is political - communism is proof .

Christianity is not political in anyway .
oh yes it is...the christian democides prove this

You need to understand the story . The warlord's subterfuge was simply creating his own version of Christianity to lure fanatics mostly from his ethnic group to overthrow the government .
what about stalin
he wanted to be the ruler of all nations so he jumped on communism and thats why he even eliminated his communists friends(so long he felt they were planning to overthrow him)

btw what do you mean by his version of christianity?
Sda's observe the jewish sabbath...does it make them non-christians?
Jehovah witnesses take jesus as man and not God..are they non-christians also?

make me understand you


I want you to think .

1. Hong's soldiers were up to 1 million and they were mostly from his clan , the few others were from minor ethnic groups .
so??
In the biblical days...
Twas only ''israel''(one country) God knew..
2. Hong was interested in overthrowing the Qing's dynasty - the clan in power .
stalin was obsessed about power too
3. Hong claimed to be the brother of Christ . Seriously ? Don't get me started on how he "discovered" he was Jesus' brother grin
paul claimed to speak under the power of jesus...
Paul never met jesus during his physical ''earth-days''..
So??
4. Hong added his own books to the bible as the war progressed .
divine revelation..
We have many versions of the bible sef presently...so?
5. Historians describe Hong as ostensibly Christian . Look up the word "ostensible"
historians describe stalin as a ''dictator''...

Ehen??
So claiming the war was fought for a religious cause is ludicrous . Hong used Christianity as a tool to grow his army and overthrow the Manchu Dynasty , also called Qing Dynasty . You don't need to be a genius to figure that out .
okay then how is the ''holodomor''(man made famine) done by stalin to ukranians for wanting independence an atheistic cause?
