OneManLegion:well honestly, till date that is one of the most convincing ive read about coupled with the fact that no rational explanations have been given ......i think a movie about it is in production. if atall there are truly aliens then maybe its high time they stop their hide and seek game |
here we go again ..............atheism is lack of belief in the existence of god/gods.....the key word here is" LACK OF""If atheism is a religion or belief system, then abstinence is a sexual position." |
ElCount:l0l..... ![]() ![]() ![]() |
asalimpo:the same way the economist should suggest how surgery should be done on a sick patient right? Im strugling to make sense of the bolded |
asalimpo:have ever read on astrophysics, even a little......maybe if you do yould understand the universe is very random, temporal chaos temporal order over nd over again.....stars form, planets form stars later explode, some die out , asteriods clash, bodies orbit bigger bodies some gets flung out of orbit and begin to wander in solitude dinosaurs once living on earth might have perceived it to be a very suitable home ..right?.....were re they now?.....same goes to over 90% of extinct species that once graced the earth.. all this is soooo orderly right?? |
asalimpo:so its very orderly when all goats eats only grass and no meat...right also very orderly when tectonic plates fuse together and stop sliding for a while, then spring apart causing earthquakes and tsunami......right?? |
asalimpo:by oderly you mean what exactly?....answer this question lets take it from there |
lordnicklaus:well that doesnt infer a creator |
asalimpo:depending on how u see order...the earth is habitable therefore living things thrive...doesnt make the earth perfectly orderly i dont get the bolded |
asalimpo:the exact same way that goats eating grass only doesnt make the world orderly |
lordnicklaus:i cant help it but ur idea of order is funny to me .....seriously dude......because humans die then some humanoid beign must have caused it by putting an apple tree in the middle of a garden and instructed man not to eat it(ofcourse with his omnipotent. knowledge he musthave known man would eat it) but set it anyway just to have fun? .........on a serious note tho, as far as we know life is born naturally and dies naturally after a short period neglecting accidents that may shorten lifespan....its nature thats how it is....look at the universe around you everything dies wth time |
asalimpo:l0l....well the person pointed to goats eating grass and no meat as order didnt he?.............does it make sense to you?......well if yes since everything is so orderly why do so humans eat other humans.....better still why do some animals grow up to mate their parents?? |
lordnicklaus:the funny thing is that creationists accuse athiest of believing the universe popped outta nothing, meanwhlie youre the ones who believe every thing was magicaly created by a beign who popped out of nothing................the current universe we know evolved from the big bang, the cause of the big bang?..we havnt figured yet! so far life forms current existence can be traced from abiogenesis through evolution even though theyre not perfect yet..its science new things are learned everyday.......of course the DNA is complex , billions of years of evolutionary data carried through generations to our current form. so far so good there is no single evidence that our universe was created by the beigns described in religious books....untill anything substantial we shall continue to observe |
HCpaul:and which science text book says there is no god??.............science observes nature propounds theories from observed facts......for example it is a fact that the universe is expanding from a point of singularity(big bang) and it can be modeled precisely how everything formed from that point.....now this result came from observation and study.....if this fact goes against your religion then maybe perhaps science is atheistic in nature |
lordnicklaus:goats are a "specie" of mamals.......and maybe u dont know this but species of animals are interrelated and share common characteristics and behavioural patterns......goats eat grass why?......because like cattles they are ruminants who developed four stomach compartment for digestion of cellulose, that is their feeding pattern as goats since everything is so orderly and arranged, why do some humans eat humans?? |
lol ...i became atheist when i collected my life back from jesus ![]() ![]() well on a serious note there are perhaps as many reasons for being an atheist as there are atheists. What I mean by this is that the road to atheism tends to be very personal and individual, based upon the specific circumstances of a person’s life, experiences, and attitudes. |
lordnicklaus: damn!.........which school do you attend or what kind of science do they teach u? have you ever watched americas got talent or britain got talent?........if u have then you would have seen things much more amazing than a picture burning for no reason so goats eats grass and not meat because they were specially designed to do so ........so if you were born into a world where goats eat meat and lion eats grass it wouldnt seem orderly to you?@ur snake ish, bros yooure a comedian ;-) .....an unintentional one ![]() |
this is good...nice info op |
lol....this is just one of those age old superstitions, its actually a psychological issue called koko(i think) where a mans penis shrinks due to fear, it never i mean NEVER disappears....ive seen it hapen live, given some hours or a few days it returns to normal....naija sha |

Through history, as natural selection played its part in the development of modern man, many of the useful functions and parts of the human body become unnecessary. What is most fascinating is that many of these parts of the body still remain in some form so we can see the progress of evolution. This list covers the ten most significant evolutionary changes that have taken place – leaving signs behind them. 10. Goose Bumps: Cutis Anserina : Humans get goose bumps when they are cold, frightened, angry, or in awe. Many other creatures get goose bumps for the same reason, for example this is why a cat or dog’s hair stands on end and the cause behind a porcupine’s quills raising. In cold situations, the rising hair traps air between the hairs and skin, creating insulation and warmth. In response to fear, goose bumps make an animal appear larger – hopefully scaring away the enemy. Humans no longer benefit from goose bumps and they are simply left over from our past when we were not clothed and needed to scare our own natural enemies. Natural selection removed the thick hair but left behind the mechanism for controlling it. 9. Jacobson’s Organ: Vomeronasal organ : Jacobson’s organ is a fascinating part of animal anatomy and it tells us a lot about our own sexual history. The organ is in the nose and it is a special “smell” organ which detects pheromones (the chemical that triggers sexual desire, alarm, or information about food trails). It is this organ that allows some animals to track others for sex and to know of potential dangers. Humans are born with the Jacobson’s organ, but in early development its abilities dwindle to a point that it is useless. Once upon a time, humans would have used this organ to locate mates when communication was not possible. Single’s evenings, chat rooms, and bars have now taken its place in the process of human mate-seeking. 8. Junk DNA: L-gulonolactone oxidase : While many of the hangovers from our “devolved” past are visible or physical, this is not true for all. Humans have structures in their genetic make-up that were once used to produces enzymes to process vitamin C (it is called L-gulonolactone oxidase). Most other animals have this functioning DNA but at some point in our history, a mutation disbled the gene – whilst leaving behind its remnants as junk DNA. This particular junk DNA indicates a common ancestry with other species on earth, so it is particularly interesting. 7. Extra Ear Muscles: Auriculares muscles : Also known as the extrinsic ear muscles, the auriculares muscles are used by animals to swivel and manipulate their ears (independently of their head) in order to focus their hearing on particular sounds. Humans still have the muscles that we would once have used for the very same reason – but our muscles are now so feeble that all they can do is give our ears a little wiggle. The use of these muscles in cats is very visible (as they can nearly turn their ears completely backwards) – particularly when they are stalking a bird and need to make the smallest movements possible so as to not frighten its future meal. 6. Plantaris Muscle : The plantaris muscle is used by animals in gripping and manipulating objects with their feet – something you see with apes who seem to be able to use their feet as well as their hands. Humans have this muscle as well, but it is now so underdeveloped that it is often taken out by doctors when they need tissue for reconstruction in other parts of the body. The muscle is so unimportant to the human body that 9% of humans are now born without it. 5. Wisdom Teeth : Early humans ate a lot of plants – and they needed to eat them quickly enough that they could eat a sufficient amount in one day to get all of the nutrients they needed. For this reason, we had an extra set of molars to make the larger mouth more productive. This was particularly essential as the body lacked the ability to sufficiently digest cellulose. As evolution made its selections, our diets changed, our jaws grew appropriately smaller, and our third molars became unnecessary. Some human populations have now all but completely stopped growing wisdom teeth, while others have almost 100% likelihood of developing them. 4. Third Eyelid : If you watch a cat blink, you will see a white membrane cross its eye – that is called its third eyelid. It is quite a rare thing in mammals, but common in birds, reptiles, and fish. Humans have a remnant (but non-working) third eyelid (you can see it in the picture above). It has become quite small in humans, but some populations have more visible portions than others. There is only one known species of primate that still has a functioning third eyelid, and that is the Calabar angwantibo (closely related to lorises) which lives in West Africa. 3. Darwin’s Point: plica semilunaris : Darwin’s point is found in the majority of mammals, and humans are no exception. It is most likely used to help focus sounds in animals, but it no longer has a function in humans. Only 10.4% of the human population still has this visible left-over mark of our past, but it is possible that a much larger number of people carry the gene that produces it as it does not always cause the ear tubercle to appear. The point (shown in the picture above) is a small thick nodule at the junction of the upper and middle sections of the ear. 2. Coccyx : The coccyx is the remnant of what was once a human tail. Over time we lost the need for a tail (as tree swinging was replaced by hanging out at the local water hole grunting neanderthal gossip), but we did not lose the need for the coccyx: it now functions as a support structure for various muscles and a support for a person when he sits down and leans back. The coccyx also supports the position of the anus. 1. Appendix : The appendix has no known use in modern humans and is often removed when it becomes infected. While its original use is still speculated on, most scientists agree with Darwin’s suggestion that it once helped to process the cellulose found in the leaf-rich diet that we once had. Over the course of evolution, as our diet has changed, the appendix became less useful. What is particularly interesting is that many evolutionary theorists believe that natural selection (while removing all of the abilities of the appendix) selects larger appendices because they are less likely to become inflamed and diseased. So unlike the little toe, which may eventually vanish and is equally useless, the appendix is likely to stay with us for a long time – just hanging around doing nothing. |
johnydon22:sure!........on a lighter note theres this interesting article on wikipedia(dont know if youve seen it tho).....lemme share for everyone....https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_far_future ........its quite long tho |
johnydon22:we should never stop looking tho...i believe somewhere in the universe exist beigns that are different or maybe similar to us.....whats more important is that we preserve our race to maybe be the ones conquer the universe someday |
nice thread op..............here's what i think 1.maybe life is difficult to start and evolve to an intelligent and technologically advanced stage and were the only ones. This is highly unlikely but not impossible tho. 2. Advanced civilisations destroy themselves on short timescales. If extraterrestrials are anything like us, then it likely that they might have destroyed themselves after a few million years of advancement. Take earth for example , life have been evolving for billions of years but after just few thousand years of technological advancement we could end it all....now this is a serious issue. 3. They have no desire to communicate 4. what is actually nothing can go faster than light...and there are super intelligent beings billions of light years away 5. maybe a proof of intelligent beings is the fact that they havnt come here 6. maybe we dont have the technology to detect their message yet......ermm we just detected gravitational waves recently ......who knows the kind of tech ETs might have/use7.,were the first?? le.me stop here...below is a fraction of the night sky......so where can they possibly start
|
well i think usage of such technolgy would be inevitable.....especially in military, the arms race is crazy among world powers..imagine how deadly sodiers with such tech would be.. |
