same thing with computer a product of Sceince. Garbage in Garbage out. meaning without a computer specialist desiging and building a computer. a computer cannot just exist or function. based on this arguments. if a mere small computer cannot function on its on.without the work of a computer specialist. is it this world with all its complexity and yet highly organised naturally .would just come into existence.without a supreme deigner( GOD) been involued.
So cement for building just appeared,iron for cars,rods,construction,oil for fuels and chemicals,copper for electric wires,Aluminim for cooking pots, water for cooking and washing,air for breathing, Timber for making paper ,woman have virgina well designed to recieve sperm,womb to harbour and nuture a baby. and men have dicks properly designed to act as conduit to deliver sperm into a woman. all things around us have their unique purpose and function.and you tell me it was evolution,big bang,Darwin,
athesim is evidence of low IQ.becos even animals acknowledge that their is GOD
.it is pure supidity. This is just ridiculous. even i contradict myself (which i dont know how from my post) im mere human who is prone to errors then what can be said of a soposed all knowing all powerful god who contradits himself see whos talking about iq. animals acknowledge god how? |

Not a small thing I swear,been experiencing it since like four years ago and from my experience it is usually trigered by a disturbance to an ongoing sleep like been briefly woken up close to dawn or while taking a nap at afternoon. It is most likely to happen while sleeping on ones back or facing down and yes from personal experience it can also happen while sleeping on the sides,though this is rare on point but did u ever think witches were pressing u....Lol |

Spericity of Earth, hydroligical cycle. an existance of an atmosphere, The Lord's understanding of the digestive process, are just a few concept which the bible reveals which predated man's ability to discover these truths for himself. even summerians that predates the existence of all the major religions had more accurate scientific beliefs before i go on are u christain? |

Science/Technology › Understanding Sleep Paralysis; Superstiton Vs Scientific Explanation by taurus25(op): 3:19pm On Feb 02, 2016 |
Sleep paralysis is a phenomenon in which a person either during falling asleep (hypnagogia) or awakening (hypnopompia), temporarily experiences an inability to move, speak, or react. It is a transitional state between wakefulness and sleep, characterized by muscle atonia (muscle weakness). It is often accompanied by terrifying hallucinations (such as an intruder in the room) to which one is unable to react due to paralysis, and physical experiences (such as strong current running through the upper body).
example of victim experience
“I awoke one morning and realized that my body was completely paralysed .I couldn’t move a muscle. Something was in the room and walked across the bed. I tried to scream but only a slight noise came from my throat. Whoever or whatever was in my room then disappeared. Unfortunately, I have been getting this horrible paralysis for about two months now. The last time it happened I managed to open my eyes but still could not move my body.”
This person is probably suffering from what psychologists call “ sleep paralysis.” Recent surveys suggest that it affects between 25 to 30 percent of the population. People also frequently report feeling a “presence” that is often described as malevolent, threatening, or evil. An intense sense of dread and terror is very common. Sometimes the “entity” may attack by strangling the sleeper and exerting crushing pressure on the chest. It is caused when the back of the brain comes to consciousness before the rest of the body “wakes up.” This is more likely to happen if you are overtired. Doctors also advise that it is best to sleep on your side and not on your back, as this can trigger the condition. If you find yourself in the midst of a sleep-paralysis episode, you might try a traditional method for overcoming the paralysis by attempting to move your fingers or toes, or even your tongue. A number of people have suggested rapidly moving one’s eyes back and forth as a way of bringing a bout of SP to an end. As it is possible to have multiple episodes in a single night, it may help to get up briefly and move around after any such episode before trying to sleep again. |

Papist: You know I dont care about how many Bible verses you quote to try and show how barbaric Christianity is. Honestly you would be wasting your time there because I won't even try to explain the verses. Listen friend read this: lex orandi, lex credendi, lex vivendi. As an atheist I would think you value empirical evidence i.e observations and not what is written in a book. Having observed Christian behaviour have you seen any sanctification of rape? I think not. When I referenced Saudi Arabia I didn't even mention the Koran, I simply mentioned what is happening there now, in the name of Sharia and Islam. Christian behaviour might not sanctify rape at this point in human history because man is gradually evolving past such insane teachings. If the constitution of a country permits slavery and its citizens don't exercise such rights due to human empathy, does it justify such a barbaric law |

Mr x. The Bible also says absalom hair which he cut once a year weighed 2.6 kg. Where is the proof
Mr y. Umm. We walk not by faith but by sight. Can't you just force yourself to believe. Why are you allowing the devil to make you disbelieve.
Mr x.. Why are you reasoning in such a foolish manner
Mr y.. You see. I am willing to be a fool for Christ. The book of corinthians says we should be fools for Christ.

johnydon22: [b]You see the question of "Are we alone?" has been one that has bothered mankind from the advent of it's intelligence..
From the On set of civilization and Science known as Natural Philosophy to the ancients man has always gazed and wondered in awe of the cosmos.
-First it was the question of "Are we alone in this world?" then man realized that he was not, he met many other life forms neighbouring him in this planet and also met many other just like him but with distinctions.
Man met other civilization and societies just like his.
-Then came the Question "Is our Planet alone?" this one is as old as study of the sky itself (astrology in ancient terms) ..
Man wondered if this "Earth" that harboured him, if there were other ones just like it or is it the only one?
Yet again this question was answered in time and it dawned on mankind that "His planet" is not alone. there are many like it and together they are under one system.
-Then arose the question "Is this our system (solar system) alone?" Not until the 20th century did our technology advance enough to detect other planets from neighbouring stars.
It dawned on mankind that there are in fact "Other Solar systems like his and they number in their countless numbers"..
Mankind learnt that most of the stars it gaze at at night all have planets orbiting them, they are systems of their own and there is a wild and vast collection of these celestial bodies.
Galaxy...
-Right from the medieval ages man has always wondered if his own galaxy was the only in the cosmos
Yet just like every other question yielded disappointing answers showing mankind it is nothing too special, the reality of other galaxies delivered another blow.
Mankind realized his galaxy was not the only one but just 1 out of countless others like it.
That was a staggering revelation brought to light by the Young Edwin Hubble.
Now since man have seen he is not alone in the planet, his planet is not alone in the system and his system is not the only one around and his galaxy is just a tiny bit of a monstrous whole. .. Curiosity grew because we realized that we are no more special than we make ourselves to be in our ego.
Since the advancement of technology the picture became clearer and man saw more galaxies, planets, systems than he ever could have imagined.
It then gave rise to the ultimate questions..
-Are we alone in terms of life ?
-Is our universe the only one there is or yet another tiny part of a numerous lot.
ARE WE ALONE IN TERMS OF LIFE
It seems the answer is "Hell No we are not" for most people you will throw this question to, because anyone who considers the vastness of the universe would think it is ridiculous for man to think he is alone.
Of course there are only two possibilities ..
1) either we are 2)or we are not.
Number one is very unlikely and almost improbable, the second in as much as it is very likely is far fetched considering that an enormous distance stands between us and exploration of the cosmos.
But it is almost an absurd thought to imagine we can be alone in the cosmos where there are countless stars around and trillions of them passing our so called "Goldilock" test.
all the stars we see at night are all a tiny circle in our galaxy now consider the vastness of such galaxy.
Not only if we are the only life but are they also intelligent?
If we consider that out of all the millions of species in the planet only 1 evolved to a state of technological advancement shows that the possibility of a technologically able alien civilization is slimmer than just "Alien life"
But yet again there will always be need for us to re-evaluate our idea of what LIFE is because since life arises in relation to it's environment we cannot hope to expect "Life" anything close to what we have on earth.
there have been environments on earth where we assume it is impossible for life to exist in but yet surprisingly we find life thriving there..
So we should widen our expectations ..
We are looking, both in our back yard neighbourhood Mars and Europa or other candidates in our solar system and with hopeful breakthroughs in the future space transportations we may yet explore the cosmos.
and again keep up the hope even though it is a very slim chance of establishing contact with technologically prone aliens since we have been sending radio signals through out all directions of space..
it is almost an improbable chance but we may yet be surprised.
IS OUR UNIVERSE THE ONLY ONE OR YET AGAIN ANOTHER TINY BIT OF A NUMEROUS LOT
I will let this pass since it is not the subject of this thread, maybe it will be our subject of discussion next time. [/b] AMAZING BREAKDOWN SO ON POINT I JUST KNOW MAN WOULD MASTER SPACE TRAVEL IN THE FUTURE SO MUCH ABOUT THE COSMOS I WANT TO KNOW I JUST WISH IT HAPPNS IN MY LIFETIME |

HapyOne: I think it doesn't make sense for man to be alone in the whole universe, it is too big for that. I believe scientist might and probably will never find other type of life in another planet if they keep using Man as a judge for life. I believe other forms of life could exist in other planets, either before, currently or in the near future but they might not take the form of man or we can't notice them. Another thing is that our technology is based on Man's perspectives of reality for example for those that believe in ghost, spirits and those kind of things , our current technology can't detect them nor find them. So imagine the if those kind of beings are the ones in other planets, we might not be able to detect them.
I think the universe is too big just for one set of life. I know we are not alone. Hollywood on the other hand thinks they might just be green |

Science/Technology › Are We Alone In The Universe? by taurus25(op): 5:46pm On Jan 29, 2016 |
This is one of the frequently asked questions man has asked for hundreds of years since science began to unravel many mysteries in the universe.
I personally began to ponder upon this question since the tims when i learned that the sun is a star, and there are billions I'd stars in the galaxy and trillions in the observable universe.
Of this incredible number, millions of stars have planets orbiting them, may of which have been observed to have conditions that might be suitable for life on earth as we know it.
From simple probability, only one star out of millions capable of hosting life is about 1/1000000 =0.000001. This has a slight chance of happening i.e its unlikely that only one would. But this is just mere probability and not any basis for conclusion.
Also, the mediocrity principle tells us that the earth occupies no special position in the galaxy or the universe.
Now, this brings us some considerations
1) Is there any other form of life elsewhere in the universe? 2) if there is, are they in any way as complex as man? 3) what if there were complex life in the past before the formation of the earth that are maybe now extinct 4) what if complex life just began evolving somewhere else 5) would complex life elsewhere evolve similar to us or maybe perhaps there is a planet with something like intelligent birds 6) what if there is complex life present somewhere but due to vastness of space it is impossible to reach nor communicate with them
The universe is so random that what is normal to us what we and ones before us have adapted to, there are endless possibilities but vastness of the cosmos makes our knowledge limited. |

ayoku777: You just don't get it, do you?
I am showing you how that God substituting the old covenant for the new; and moving from the law to the new commandment, was always the plan.
It was never an after-thought or a change of mind, as you're trying so hard to say. Because the death and resurrection of Christ was fore-ordained ever before the dispensation of the law was even added.
So how can the new covenant be a "change of mind" for God, when that was always His mind?
Stop trying to make this an issue of semantics. God doesn't change. He changes systems and dispensations according to His redemption plan.
How large the font you use for "change" doesn't change the fact that the new covenant was never a change of mind for God. Simple Definition of CHANGE : to become different : to make (someone or something) different : to become something else CHANGE CAN NEVER BE AN ATTRIBUTE OF AN OMNIPOTENT YOU SEEM TO HAVE A PROBLEM OF CONSISTENCY WHAT YOUVE DO SO FAR ON THIS THREAD IS A PITYABLE ATTEMPT TO DEFEND YOUR GOD |
