No words are too harsh to describe the illogicality of this decision.

Check this out first:

Because of differences in temperature and salinity, it is said that the North Sea and the Baltic don’t mix. True or hoax?

This is an urban legend. The picture shown is not the Baltic Sea and North Sea, and the border shown is not due to salinity gradient. The picture is from Alaska, showing where dirty glacial meltwater was flowing into the open ocean. It’s a temporary phenomenon caused by sediment washed into the ocean — microorganisms thrive on the nutrients. The color is not due salinity, says Ryan Carlyle, BSChE, Subsea hydraulics engineer.

This is an actual image from Grenen, in Skagen, Denmark where the Baltic and North Seas meet. You can see where they join together and clash with each other, but the water will mix quite easily.

Empiree:
First all, these pictures are not necessarily evidence confirming the verses of Quran but do you have evidence to suggest it is mixing as shown in the pictures?

Yes, science teaches us about a phenomenon called diffusion. If you pour salt water and fresh water into any container, they will mix. The mixing will not be very fast if you don't shake the container, but it happens nonetheless. The same laws of nature apply to the seas.

Here again, Qur'an speaks:

"And it is He(God) who has released [simultaneously] the two seas, one fresh and sweet and one salty and bitter, and He placed between them a barrier and prohibiting partition." ~(25:53)

Knowing what I know now, I think this verse was simply describing a phenomenon that was known about in the time of the prophet. Because the prophet wasn't a scientist, he didn't realize that there was no actual barrier between the seas. That the 'partition' was only an illusion.

KingEbukaNaija:
Lust is different from admiration .

QuentinDay:
Lust is ... having strong sexual desire for someone that you arent married or having relationship with

1. Can I have weak or moderate sexual desire for any woman? What is the threshold at which normal healthy sexual desire becomes lust?
2. So I can have a strong sexual desire for a woman I'm in a relationship with? My wife? My fiancee? My girlfriend? My friend with benefits?
3. Is pornography ok as long as you're doing it just to release after a stressful day and have no intention of sleeping with the actresses?

Admiration is regarding something as impressive or worthy of respect as Seun was alluding

What if what you're regarding as impressive or worthy of respect is not wearing any clothes? Like Kim Kardashian's "break the internet" photo?

MDsambo:
How could an illeterate man who lived 1400 years ago know this when it is only Discovered not long ago?
if you check the Qur'an chapter 55 from verse 19 to 21
it says:
He (Allah) released the two seas meeting(side by side) (55:19)
Between them is a barrier(so) neither of them transgresses (55:20)
So which of the favours of your lord would you deny?
(55:21)
So what else do you want to see before you believe?

[s]1. The Quran talks about the meeting of two seas but the picture you provided is about the mixing of sea water with fresh water. Sea water is always salty while fresh water doesn't exist in the sea.[/s]
2. Even if we accept your misinterpretation, the fact is that the water in that picture is actually mixing. It's just that it takes some time.
3. Even if we accept the fallacy that they are not mixing, it is quite unlikely that no such phenomenon existed in the time of the prophet. Even if it didn't happen close to where the prophet lived, he may have spoken to a traveller who witnessed the phenomenon.

If God created the yansh in question, how can it be wrong to admire it and worship God for it?

@Seun & Truth234,
As CBN governor which will you combat first between Higher Inflation and Higher Unemployment? I bet you unemployment will not skyrocket but rather workers pay may be reduced so that unemployment is avoided.

Unfortunately, this almost never happens and there's no logical reason to believe that it will happen this time. Wages are known to be sticky.

How do they know she has been healed?? The only evidence we have is a change of clothes.

I might be the one to do that, but my IOS account just expired. I renewed with 20k last year, this time with this $$$$ palava, if you are ready to pay me, I can give it a try - or maybe you can make it a form of challenge, I am aware that we have some fantastic IOS developers on this board.

Can you show me your best ios work? Thanks!

Does someone want to do an app for IOS?

Ok, there is no longer any doubt about the fact that these guys are bleeps. What the Bleep is wrong with them? How can you drastically raise the MPR after acknowledging that the country is in a recession? These ppl will wreck the economy completely if something drastic is not done.

Haha. I have spent 2 days on a code that "used to work well" . Very terrible experience.

There is a way you write code that makes it hazardous to modify it, and then there's the right way. We used to discuss this a lot on my team.

Seun you need a sarcasm detector

Hmm. Who was being sarcastic?

waice6571:
2.I can also testify to the truthfulness of God. Sometimes last year, I woke up early, but met my wife preparing breakfast already. I told her I'll be fasting today because, I want my spirit to be sharp in earing whenever God speaks to me.

What does being hungry have to do with hearing a voice? Doesn't your stomach make distracting rumbling noises when it's empty? If God created the entire universe by speaking it into existence, surely his voice must be loud enough to be heard by both the hungry and the well fed?

In the evening, I was in the car with my two boys on a high speed (The road on my lane was free) approaching a serious steep slope and a double shap bend. I just heard from my inside ''break the speed" and I responded immidiately. Just within the fraction of a second an oncoming vehicle was coming headon with greater speed than my initial speed directly in front of me. I couldn't turn left or right I managed to pressed harrrrddd.... on my break. Screamings from the onlookers expecting the horror. But all glory to God we both escaped it.

You don't need the voice of God to tell you to slow down when approaching a 'serious steep slope and a double sharp bend'. May I suggest that what you heard from inside wasn't the God's voice but the voice of sense? You were driving recklessly, but came to your senses just in time.

I rarely post topics on the home page. Lalasticlala and Mynd44 are both Christians.

We posted the story of the alleged resurrection of a Nigerian girl in a church. It seemed likely to have happened (except for the resurrection).

One can tell whether or not a story is likely to be true, which is our primary consideration. If we are wrong, we will take correction and apologize.

Has it been reported by CNN? Fox news? Any real media organization? Obviously if this story is true they will cover it soon.

Religion strikes again! Obviously, the last thing a newlywed couple needs is a debt of 1.2 million naira.

How can we verify the truthfulness of this tale?

I used to read Spirit-Controlled Temperament.

What of Arion wey get better smell so tey you wan use am soak garri?

So I'm not the only one!

How will ppl find out what the icons represent?

Nice! Seems mobile only though.

honourhim:
yea just like some of the features you put in nairaland may appear funny to us but to you it is of importance and beneficial to you.

Does God have mixed feelings when a person is being burnt alive by a mob? On one hand, it's murder. On the other hand, it smells so nice...

AyaSunday:
You're not making sense.

How was the 'first simple self-replicating molecule' formed? There has to be an original of a first. The very first did not just evolve out of nothing. Even 'nothing' has an origin according to science. Now answer the question again:

How did that 'origin' come to be?

The first self-replicating molecule was assembled by chance in a soup of molecules in the sea. Physicists can take you back from there to the big bang, but they don't know what happened before that. I hereby confidently assert that a sexy self-created eternal babe was the 1st cause.

Some women are often socialized to believe that they have the right to lose control and act irrationally when they're upset. This is what happens.

Multiple personality syndrome, which is "a rare dissociative (syndrome) in which two or more personalities with distinct memories and behaviour patterns apparently exist in one individual," explains the trinity perfectly.

I agree with the idea of aiding the progress of humanity. Knowing that humanity has moved forward because of your life makes death less sad.

I think title should be Cloudgoddess's Philosophical Views or The Purpose of Life. The word spirituality is quite strongly linked to religion. I understand that non-religious people are trying to redefine it to suit their purposes but it's best to avoid the confusing quagmire of that word!

honourhim:
Yea so what's wrong if God requires the sacrifice of what he created? And if that's part of the reason he created animals What"s wrong about it?

I won't say it's wrong. Isn't it rather funny that the alleged creator of the entire universe loves the smell of burning meat so much, though?

naijadeyhia:
Question medically confirmed AS genotype being turned to AA from a family whom both parents are AS and SS and who was proven as a child from both parents via DNA confirmation is regarded as what?

The most likely natural explanation is that the last test that came out as AA was falsified to allow the marriage to proceed. The second is a honest error with one of the other 3 genotype tests referred to - it seems crazy that someone who is a sickler (SS) would have married a carrier (AS). The third is that your claim that the lady was proven to be a child of each parent by DNA testing is a lie for Jesus - Nigerians don't do DNA tests unless there is a dispute.

The first thing we need to do is look at those 6 test results you referred to.

naijadeyhia:
Can doctors prove virginity or not? Is a person a virgin only without sex or when it shows their hymen is broken.

I think you understand my point, which is that if an event could have happened naturally, it's reasonable to assume that it happened naturally. You should only consider a supernatural explanation if you have objectively ruled out every possible natural explanation.

News: The worst student in a class mysteriously scored 100% in the end of year exams after scoring 0 in all his tests and projects! Miracle!
Atheist: Poor students can score high marks by cheating. Unless there's a lots of evidence to the contrary, we should assume that he cheated.

News: My boyfriend who is 100% faithful to me was found in another woman's bed. The evil woman summoned him using mermaid magic!
Atheist: Are you serious? Your boyfriend is obviously cheating on you.
