Okay buddy. Pls let me be your seat partner in this class. So you could at least put me through in whatever seems not so clear to me; I'm usually shy of asking the "masters" any questions in class directly.

Science/Technology / Re: 3000 AD by socially4fun: 2:36pm On Sep 30, 2015
Pascal's wager is one of the so many arguments about God's existence (either for or against). Anselm's ontological argument, Aquinas' ‘five ways’, Descartes' ontological and so on are arguments that supports God's existence.
Having said that, I think it's a bit inappropriate for you to say their choices were made because of Pascal's wager(alone)
Teempakguy:
Google pascal's wager and you will find out why they believe in God.

However, you've made me read Pascal's wager, and below are some excerpts from an online publication of Pascal's wager I read:

"“God is, or He is not.” But to which side shall we incline? Reason can decide nothing here."

"Wagering for God superdominates wagering against God"

About agnostics, they don't entirely doubt God's existence; at least not in whole.

I get ur point lady. You don't believe in anything outside the perimeter of science, logic and philosophy.
To you, anything that has to do with wizardry, necromancy, soothsaying, Christian miracles... are not real. They're a hoax.

Albert Einstein, Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, Wiener Heisenberg, Isaac Newton, Blaise Pascal, Steve jobs, Bill gates... to mention a few are all great minds who believe in God. so I find it a bit of an embarrassment for you to say I'll change my view if I do more research.
Or you are just been myopic about this subject matter; just like jonnydon22 said, being atheistic or theistic is a matter of individual choice, whether or not it appeals right to philosophical ethics. QED.

johnydon22:
Exactly that is where "FAITH" the worst form of irrationality steps in. that you have "faith" does not make that your belief true, not even probably true. That you have "Faith" simply means you believe it whether it is true or not.

Faith is a very dishonest position, you shut out reason in the process of clutching on something by faith. you disregard truth when it comes along in order to hold on to your convictions. . That is intellectual dishonesty of faith.
I think I mentioned it. Faith is something beyond human logic. Call it intellectual dishonesty if you please.

johnydon22:

Lmao. . Astral travel is a projection of the mind, it is the mind nothing more. . why not go read about Astral travel and see..

Astral travels in no way defiles physics law or nature itself. . i wonder where you guys get these from. .nature do not have one way of manifestation. Please can you point to me the law of nature being defiled in Astral travel.
Well I'm not well groomed when it comes to the metaphysics, but don't make astral sound so simple

johnydon22:

The point then still remains CHRISTIANITY/ISLAM are unafrican religions and you are the one practising something that is unafrican, something you wanted to accuse Krystalzkris of. .
Iooolz I think I should invite my lawyer ... I never intended accusing krystalzkris. That's the last thing I'd do here. I mean, on what ground do I base my accusations?

johnydon22:

I do not recall insulting you perhaps you should show me where i did?
I said, "I commend your use of polite words."

Hawkins, Hitchens, Stephen fry, to mention a few, debate against top religious scholars about atheism and on most occasions, they win the debate.

That been because philosophy, logic and science favours atheism against theism, little wonder an agnostic barely partakes in such.
Hence I'm backing out of this argument. Maybe you'll do well against a religious jingoist, who'd argue, quoting the Bible, Quran or Torah.

lemme still use ur aliens as an example,we all know we'v never seen one.. If u say they exist,describe them,tell us about their nature. Aliens might be in existence but for the fact that they have not been proven to really exist,they dont.. That's what I meant when I said that,and if they come visiting us,wow,i would be the first to believe they do exist,but until then,no way... What black magic activities are you talking about?
If black/white magic/sorcery is proven to exist to you, would you change your mindset?
Science/Technology / Re: 3000 AD by socially4fun: 8:57am On Sep 29, 2015
johnydon22:

That the God you believe in has not been proven and you agree with this simply shows you just subscribe to an assumptive lay out of some people..

That's where faith comes in. If all the concept of religion were logically proven, then, no need calling it faith any longer.

johnydon22:

What you dub supernatural are just phenomenons you don't yet understand or know how they were achieved.

We only have nature and nature do not have one specific way of working dubbing the phenomenons you may not understand yet supernatural only betrays the insecurity of that lack of knowledge, what ever manifestation of nature in this material world is within the confines of nature.

Take for instance astral travel. It defies the laws of physics and hence nature's. How best do you describe it if not supernatural? Or would you call it a sham?

johnydon22:

[b]First of all you are an African and you subscribe to the idea of God that is UnAfrican.

Christianity and Islam are unafrican and were imposed on your ancestors by the foreigners at the expense of your own African beliefs and religion.

It is termed evangelism. Spreading the good news.

johnydon22:

Atheism is simply the act of not believing in a God and these mindset is found in every culture at any timeline in antiquity.

@The black magic you so much revere are mere illusionary projections you have no idea how it was achieved, you can just pop into Youtube and watch magic shows, it is just magical tricks the actual action is hidden from the perception of the audience.
I don't revere black magic. I was onlytrying to buttress a point. - There are things which science cannot explain. At least, not yet.

johnydon22:

Until you build a bridge in five minutes with the so called African black magic or maybe conjure up a flying machine, you are still a joker..

Such punny tricks as what we see here are just laughable..

Really laughable. But I wasn't talking about magic tricks. I've long known it's a hoax

johnydon22:

Lastly belief in supernatural powers has nothing to do with being atheistic.

There are many atheists who believe in supernatural and your spirity mumbo jumbo (what makes them atheists are simply disbelief in Gods)

There are also theists who disbelieves the existence or potency of spirity shenanigans, this doesn't make them any less theistic..

So do not confuse belief in God/Gods with belief in spirity claims.. [/b]
You're correct.
But I don't think I'm confusing belief in a deity with belief in spirity existence. Like I said earlier on, I was only trying to lay emphasis.
Also as you'd agree, most atheists don't believe in anything outside the confines of science. Talk more of spiritual beings.

Please don't get it twisted, I'm very much science inclined (enthusiast), but I just have that feeling there is more to this life; else what's the essence of life if we are here today and gone tomorrow, forever?

Lastly, despite we have contrasting views, I commend your use of polite words in countering my arguments.

you cannot disprove something that has not been proven... Until,its proven to exist,it does not exist. Its now left for anyone claiming its existence to prove that it actually exists...btw,what supernatural phenomenom are you talking about

You're correct. You cannot disprove something that hasn't been proven yet. But I fault your second argument, 'Until it is proven to exist it doesn't', since aliens hasn't been proven to exist yet, if tomorrow they come visiting in stealth mode, does that mean they've not been in existence? - just an instance.
About supernatural phenomena.
When the whites talk about atheism, I really don't give them much of an attention but when an African (I presume you are) talks about atheism, it really gives me a cause for concern. Aren't you aware of the black magic activities looming around?

there is no proof of an afterlife,if there was any,y do we die in d first place.. It would have made more sense if we lived forever..

Neither has anyone disproved it by any logic logic. That something hasn't been proven yet doesn't make it nonexistent.

How do you explain the supernatural phenomena happening everyday?

You do not write badly... I was a bit enthralled after reading.

If you are looking for praise,you definitely have mine...good stuff...

That said,my critique of your work.

-I think I prefer this to 3000AD.That may be in part because I'm not a fan of sci-fi.

-Like your other work however,you are guilty of misplaced tenses.If you are going to write in past tense,stick with it all the way.Don't waver between tenses.

-Use of colloqualism is forbidden except in reported speech.Avoid them like the plague to wit: 'abi','shey','nko' etc Except you are trying to name something local,it is best you stick with a generic name.

-The apt word for a man who has prowess in bedding women is 'Stallion',not Horse.

-Don't derail your story,not everyone knows who Robben or Guardiola is,there are better comparisons you can use.

-Don't insult the reader by trying to explain every detail.You obviously love football,but by trying to explain Ada's condition using football cliches,you belittle the reader..

Done!

Guilty of the above crimes sire.
