Only people with celiac disease should be worried about gluten. Gluten is also present in bread, pastries, noodles, spaghetti, etc.

I don't think you have any idea what it's like to be at the other end of the spectrum where nothing works, where nothing is good, no sunshine. You on the other hand are high & mighty so you wouldn't know or understand. Talk is cheap. All that's left is for me to pick a day to die so the misery can end cos my life is practically over. I don't need pity or consoling. I don't see a way out of the deep Hell im in.
Depression and other psychological illnesses are just medical conditions that can be treated with drugs and counseling. Just see a doctor (psychiatrist), get your prescription, and keep taking it. Then you should try to surround yourself with people who are kind and understanding.

Then take it down, as simple as that.
Does it matter that there's nothing wrong with it? It's just a verse in the bible. It's intended to be used by married couples. What's the offense?

4everGod:
Seun it seems your knowledge of evolution is limited to dogs and dog-like creatures. Appalling!
Nope. It's just that artificial selection produces far more exciting results than any natural selection that we can observe within our lifetimes.

4everGod:
Seun you know absolutely nothing about evolution but you quickly jump on threads to declare your ignorance brazenly.....
How would you know? If you understood evolution you would not be wasting your time trying to disprove it.

So you now call breed selection and cross breeding done by scientists evolution?
I won't use the term evolution. The silverfox domestication project did not involve cross-breeding (you can't cross-breed foxes with any domestic animal that I know of), but it involved "breed selection". The gist of evolution is that we are all products of "breed selection" by nature.

adjoviomole:
So basically what you are saying is that we can no longer see that kind of evolution that turned apes into humans anymore?
Yes & no. The natural selection that made us what we are today didn't happen in an instant. It involved a lot of little steps that added up to a great difference over thousands of years. We can observe the small steps of natural selection within our lifetimes, but we don't live long enough to be able to observe the dramatic changes that can result from lots and lots of small steps. So we have to rely on indirect evidence. As it happens, we have been able to get so much indirect evidence that supports evolution, that almost every scientist accepts it as a fact.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIEoO5KdPvg

From the video above, here's a list of the types of evidence we have for evolution:
1) Comparative anatomy.
2) Embryology and development.
3) The fossil record.
4) DNA Comparison.
5) Species distribution.
6) Evolution observed.
7) Predictive power of evolution.
8} Nested hierarchies of traits.

This thread was created by someone who left Atheism for Christianity and publicly wrote about it. I don't see why people think it's controversial.

idris4r83:
what I came to understand is that there's no proof in evolution because of the obviously missing links. It has to be believed, therefore it is a faith, therefore it is a religion! Think again Mr Seun.
It's just science. The same science that is the foundation of all the technology we rely on and the medical knowledge that keeps us healthy.

What makes Islam perfect is that the qur'an is enough proof to show us that it is the religion of truth and nothing but the truth.
If the Quran was perfect, it would be more interesting than Game of Thrones and Harry Potter. More scientifically accurate than the Encyclopedia Britannica. More humanitarian than the universal declaration of human rights. It wouldn't inspire people to do evil in God's name.
PS: I thought you said that the Quran was perfect, which is one of the tenets of Islam, but what you actually said was slightly different.

As for me and my family, God have been helping us healthwise. We don't use drugs of any such. And none of my siblings me included was not born in the hospital. When we are sick we pray to God and he does it free of cost. I know lots of ppl benefit from this too.
This is wrong. You need to stop putting the health of your family at risk, if you want things to go well on the long run.

The mind-blowing thing about this verse is that it's part of a prophecy. The Almighty God conceived those words and dictated them to Ezekiel.

Wait seun, are you trying to say that NONE OF THEM, not a single one, is true?? If NONE OF THEM is true, can you provide proof for that?
Very few of them are true. For every true deathbed conversion from atheism story you can give me, I can give you one or more that are false.

Obviously, you were saved by a clear mind and a fire extinguisher. Why bring God into it? Fire extinguishers work for atheists and pagans, too.

u find it hard to read the contents of the qur'an, ... Before you condemn a book, try and read it.
I have been trying to read it from this website: www.clearquran.com. It's just so boringembarassed. At least the bible is funny, if nothing else.

And again on the concept of God, if I ask you who created nairaland, what would be your answer? If your answer is Seun Osewa, then think again. How would Seun Osewa be the god of nairaland? Nairaland just sprung up spontaneously by accident, doesn't it sound ridiculous. If nairaland cannot originates itself by accident, if planes, cars, houses have their manufacturers how comes man's own is different?
Some facts sound ridiculous to people who lack scientific knowledge. For example, the fact that the earth is round, and the fact that the earth moves round the sun, used to seem ridiculous. It's time for you to learn about evolution from the best explainer in the world, Richard Dawkins:

I believe there would be many atheists like me too, who pretended to accept Christ in order to die peacefully and not be disturbed by some bald headed deluded preacher and loved ones tryna force Jesus down your throat. This shows why deathbed conversions might not be reliable
Actually, most deathbed conversion stories are just lies. People literally make up fake stories to glorify God. The "lying for Jesus" phenomenon.

It's easy to rule out the existence of any all-powerful, all-knowing, benevolent God. Briefly do so please. Just the bullet points'll be fine.
Such a God could have created a universe without evil (suffering). Being all-knowing, he knows how to do it. Being all-powerful, he has the power to do it. Being benevolent, he wants to do it. Yet we have a world filled with awful suffering. So no such God exists. The problem of evil.

@ Seun

Precisely how certain are you that there is no God?

In percentage terms, please.
I'm 100% certain that there is no good evidence for the existence of any God or supernatural phenomenon. That's the only claim I feel comfortable making. It's easy to rule out the existence of any all-powerful, all-knowing, benevolent God. But a shy, detached God who started the big bang and has done nothing since can't be ruled out 100%. Nor can we completely rule out the existence of an evil God who claims to be benevolent but is only lying. I'm certain enough to live my life without being worried about the possibility. If a God existed and wanted to be worshipped by all mankind, he would provide good evidence. I can say that I am 0% certain that God exists, but that's not what you asked for.

Seun have u tried reading the Holy qur'an with a clean, unbiased and open mind? If no? Which I guess, pls try and get a copy. Read it and digest it and ponder over it. Am sure Almighty Allah will show you the way cos anybody that strives towards knowing God will surely know God.
Owning a Quran is a potential death sentence. One could be murdered by a righteous mob for damaging it by mistake. It's not worth the risk!

Qur'an itself is a miracle, it is unique, it is a guidance to the humanity, no any book on the face of earth has stood the of time like the Holy qur'an. It is the only book on the face of the earth where if u remove a single alphabet it will be detected easily cos God Himself protects it. Tell me pls if there's a book as bulky as qur'an that can be memorized by even a boy of 10years of age if not the Holy qur'an.
Dude, you really need to read The History of the Quran. Some of the facts there will shock you if you truly believe the above.

Allahu Akbar, I thank God for being a Muslim and may Allah make me die as a muslim. I want you to feel the piece of mind and happiness the soul is constantly yearning for which is to praise it's creator.
Thanks, but what you said about the soul's yearning to praise it's creator reminds me of this video by an American atheist:

Needless to say I couldn't bring you to be convinced as much as I would have done myself.

You might be right.
It doesn't mean that I don't know what and WHO I believe, but my arguements might not have been really indepth enough to convince you.


I do wish you'ld come across one who can actually convince you.

I'm happy I tried.
Fair enough. I'm curious about why you wouldn't take a Quran before you, pray to Allah, and ask Him to reveal Himself to you if He exists.

Religion indeed has hurt the world (not just Nigeria), but if you consider the good it has done to man in the light of JESUS every other thing grows dim in the light of his glory and grace.
What good, apart from creating jobs for pastors and other church workers at a great cost to the intellectual development of humanity?

Atheism is a psychological jargon. You can choose to believe, or not. It doesn't change the fact.
"Christianity is a psychological jargon. You can choose to believe the Quran, or not. It doesn't change the fact."

"It's better to play safe: You'ld make a good bargain if you believe on JESUS now, and at last discover that he really do exist rather than refusing him now, only to discover that he actually exists and by then it might be too late."

You wont party forever.
You wont have sex forever.
You wont dress naked forever.
Everything would still end someday.

At that time all these pleasures you treasure would be seen as dung in your eyes.
"You won't listen to infidel music forever.
"You won't shave your beard like the infidels forever.
"You won't eat infidel pork sausages forever.
"Everything would still end someday
"At that time all these pleasures you treasure would be seen as dung in your eyes."


Speak to a dying shrunken old woman.
Can she ever still treasure having sex all the day? Or dressing nude? Or partying? Or dancing about?
No. She dont even know if there's any pleasure in those things.
All she knows is that her end is near.
She also has memories about the life she lived. If she lived a happy and fruitful life, those memories will continue to give her pride and joy.

It's just that our life on earth and what we're exposed to has made us so myopic. We do not know anything outside our nose.
And we think we knew it all.

Remember Plato's Allegory of the cave?
That's just how we are.
The religious world view is more myopic because it claims to have the truth about everything. Science admits that it doesn't know everything.

Just do something for me Seun,

Lock up yourself in your room oneday.
Take a Bible. Spread it before you and say:

"God if there is a God. They said you exist and you sent Jesus to die for me. I don't believe this crap (That is if you trully don't). And if this is true, I want you to do anything that would make me believe, else I don't believe it."

Have a nice day.
"Just do something for me, Mesco Paul,

"Lock up yourself in your room one day.
"Take a Quran. Spread it before you and say:
" "Allah if there is Allah. They said you exist and you sent Prophet Muhammad to me. I don't believe this crap (That is if you truly don't). And if this is true, I want you to do anything that would make me believe, else I don't believe it." "
