Gombs:
Do you really think we evolved from dumb to wise? I mean, think about it

Yes, we did. Of all monkeys in the world, we have the biggest brains. Our brains also have a more complex structure. This makes us smarter.

Don't worry about it. I tend to have vivid dreams when I'm not getting enough sleep. Are you sexually harassed a lot in real life?

Rilwayne001:
Judas Iscariot.

For betraying our lord in other for the crucifixtion and resurrection as well as Jesus dying for our sin LIE to make sense.

Judas' role was completely unnecessary. Jesus could just have just submitted himself to the pharisees if he wanted to die, yet he was hiding.

KingEbukasBlog:
David was a soldier who later became a king .

David was a warlord, not a soldier. A bandit, terrorist and leader of militants. A sword for hire. He wanted to wipe out an entire family because he asked for free food and the head of the family refused to provide it because he didn't know David. You insult me, I murder you. Despicable.

Certitude:
But he is your favourite villian because that's what the thread is about.

Villains are meant to be hated and I hate this dude, so I guess that makes him my favorite villian. He was also a man after God's own heart.

Certitude:
But David would not be considered a villian na. Spartacus killed lot of people but we loved him in that series. In war movies, the villian na who the producer wants us to hate whether hin kill or not. Wait o, oga Seun. So you like david.

Not really. I don't like murderers. This David character killed 200 innocent men to get a girl when he was [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Samuel+18:20-27&version=NIV]"only" asked to kill 100[/url]. A bloodthirsty devil. I bet Spartacus only killed people who had wronged him brutally and people he had to kill to survive. David killed because: "why not?"

David. He was an evil serial mass murderer, yet he managed to gain the support of the Israelites and even God because of his charisma.

4everGod:
Can you claim a code that allegedly evolved would somehow have a 0.000000009 error rate? This means its as accurate as hitting the bullseye with your eyes closed 1 billion times in quick succession.

The error rate you quoted isn't the one I'm talking about, while the analogy you offered is extremely poor.

AngelsAndStars:
i prayed to God that i needed money to buy things so i can manage before alawi comes(market day is every 4 days).. while listening to the preaching i prayed in me, reminded God how awful those religious guys behaved. i prayed for just 200 naira. cos i had no choice. all corpers were broke or had last card. no one to turn to. i practically turned to a God i doubted at that time

i left the premises and immediately outside the gate i picked up 200naira. it was glorious. i had other ingredients and garri so i used it to prepare soup which lasted till alawi came. coincidence? i didnt think so, i believed and it worked for me. my God worked for me.

Either: (1) God made someone drop his hard-earned money on the ground, so you could steal it. (2) You got lucky at someone else's expense.

Gombs:
Seun, hold up a bit... Let's look at this from a different perspective. You're a programmer,great.

The DNA code we all know, informs and programs a cell's behavior.

Why is this so amazing? One has to ask....how did this information program wind up in each human cell? These are not just chemicals. These are chemicals that instruct, that code in a very detailed way exactly how the person's body should develop.

The evidence suggests that the complex DNA in our bodies developed from very simple DNA in ancient microscopic organisms through the process of evolution. How the first simple living organism with DNA came to be is not yet fully understood, but evolution explains how our complex DNA came to be. DNA is not logically tight, like procedural computer code. It's full of redundancies, errors, large portions which are completely unneeded by the current organism but still lurking there, etc. If DNA was designed by a programmer, he/she must have been very careless or intoxicated. But it makes perfect sense if it developed through the process of evolution. Evolution is imperfect and that's why it works.

AngelsAndStars:
sorry but it is rational. my entire post is saying people are not bling to believe or not to believe God. both are rational seun. but one less rational than the other. we popping out of nothing can't be more rational than a "creator" even if there are no evidence.

Through the work of biologists, we know that we developed into complex creatures from simple creatures through the process of evolution, but we do not really know how the first simple creature came into existence. Through the work of physicists, we know that the stars and planets in the universe, including the earth, came from a "big bang", but we do not really know how the initial conditions for the big bang came to be. So no one is saying that we popped out of nothing. What we're saying is that to the extent that we know, we're a result of natural processes.

but have you ever seek to find God outside religion? thats what i did. and i have nothing but faith. atheists like yourself too use faith since you also said it no one is 100% sure.

Can you tell me exactly how you found God outside religion? Do you talk to him and does he talk back to you? Details, pls! (Religion is what leads most people to believe that God exists in the first place, so if you drop religion, I can't imagine why you wouldn't also drop God.)

so mr seun, which is more foolish? that we popped out of nothing or a "God" is responsible(not religious God please note)

Nobody is saying that we popped out of nothing. There are things we know about where we came from, and things which we don't know. Yet.

LambanoPeace:
What's your morality based on?

I consider something to be morally wrong if it causes people to suffer unnecessarily and unfairly.

AngelsAndStars:
Ok so what of you? are you 100% certain there's no God?

Nobody is 100% certain that there is no God. But in my experience, things for which no objective evidence has been found despite concerted efforts to find such evidence, such as aliens living among us, God, and perpetual motion machines, are unlikely to exist. So it is not rational to believe that they exist, not to mention dedicating your entire life to them.

jonbellion:
I don't like being identified as an atheist because that's a very strong claim to make to say you are sure there is no God

Why are you perpetuating the lying apologist's false definition of atheism? An atheist is simply someone who does not believe in any God. If you don't believe in any God then you are an atheist regardless of what you choose to call yourself. Very few atheists would say that they are sure there is no God. Even "militant" atheists like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Lawrence Krauss would not make that claim. The version of atheism you are trying to throw under the bus for your personal benefit is very rare in the real world. So stop confusing people, please.

If he was attacked by a cat, he needs antibiotics asap. Cat saliva contains a bacteria that's toxic to parrots. The vet should know what to do.

IVORY2009:
Beating awaits any bloody civilian that goes to the barrack and call her "beautiful"

Why?

Following

Hope they won't make the mistake of calling her beautiful like that cadet.

It was never meant to reach the home page

QueenIdeas:
Please explain about new members participating for a while before being allowed to make new post

It's no longer the case.

Eyah. Why did you take advice from someone who doesn't know much about parrots? Respect for elders, shay?

You should take the parrot to a vet doctor asap. I'm guessing that the vets that handle chickens may be able to help your parrot.

Meanwhile, I would recommend cleaning the wounds with hydrogen peroxide or NCP and offering him water and his favorite food.

Also, search the internet for more information. I found this: www.quakerparrots.com/health/caring-for-a-sick-or-injured-parrot/

Seun i just asked you the question of the year on NL

On the wrong thread.

ambassagod:
Seun I have seen dogs lined up at the middle of the night, like 50-60 dogs. don't say I was hallucinating, some night vigilantes arr complaining about it too. so, the experience is not personal.
when I say dogs, I don't mean all these "bingo" I mean HUGE dogs. Now, don't think of cows, they weren't cows. I mean HUGE dogs, at the middle of the night, around 11 to 12 in the night. what do you call that?

A pack of stray or feral dogs. Why do the witches have to turn into animals to meet? How will they communicate while they exist as animals that can't talk? If you say they can communicate telepathically, then I must ask you why they need to meet in a physical place.

justwise:
Of course some Nigerians are annoyingly lazy, not wiling to do their own research but want somebody to summarise posts for them.

And we are happy to do this. Take note of that pls.

naijadeyhia:
It is harder for your brain to process unknown words so it needs to work harder to process it as these words excite it as it attempts to relearn and store this information as new info so it is expected to spike in activity when speaking in unknown tongues but this was not the case here.

The whole point of speaking in tongues is that your brain does not process the words. It just spews them out mindlessly. That's very easy.

naijadeyhia:
Seun you admitted to having carried out a fake holy ghost baptism experience.

False.

To your first comment I can tell you categorically that when anyone attempts to speak gibberish, in order to sustain that so called gibberish he would need the active participation of his brain.

Generating gibberish is extremely easy compared to most things the brain has to do, so it makes sense for brain activity to drop a little bit.

naijadeyhia:
Nope frontal lobe activity at all.

False. There was a dip in frontal lobe activity, but it was still quite active. Concocting gibberish is easy. It doesn't require much brainpower.

naijadeyhia:
I asked how can speaking in tongues be from our subconscious yet trigger no brain activity
yet the same science says dreams are from our subconscious but they trigger a lot of brain activity. Are there 2 different kinds of subconsciousness?

You seem to have misunderstood the science. The science shows a dip in frontal lobe and left caudate activity specifically when speaking in tongues. I suspect that generating nonsense sounds requires far less subconscious brainpower than creating a dynamic simulation of reality.

naijadeyhia:
How can you say your experience was very NATURAL just like every SPIRITUAL experience. Can you place NATURAL EVENTS on the same platform as SPIRITUAL EVENTS?

All spiritual events take place in the imaginative minds of believers. A good example would be the one you described earlier on this thread.

Ebuka2016:
thanks boss

No, that may help your symptoms but you need to find out the real cause of the problem before you can be permanently cured. I wish some of the actual doctors on this forum would take a look at this case.
