1) Poor Grammar. Bad spelling and poor grammar are the biggest turnoffs for women when it come to texting the opposite sex. This is mostly because, making so much spell errors shows a lack of effort. That ultimately, is something which turns most women off, whether it's your English or your personal hygiene.

He has high libido for sex.
These type of men are rather dangerous,because if he is not getting it from you he will go outside and still blame you,if you are not okay with his sex demands you better run now before he impregnate you and everything gets complicated.

If there are no plans to wife you anytime soon,he will just use you finish for your husband.Please

The guy may trully love you per say but it's just a case of voracious appetite for sex..

Actually, in the movie, Silver was not the only charlatan who got exposed.
My comment was directed at a responder who said that calling out the names of random audience members, along with their private information, is proof that the bible is true.

Weah96:
My brother, you obviously aren't equipped enough to take on an inquisition of this magnitude. But I will oblige you. They're ALL staged.

There are many possible ways to do it. You could simply pay people up front, using a dispensable middle man. Or you could use a middle man to invite innocent victims to church, but not before obtaining relevant information from the acquaintances of those innocent people.

You should take a look at the movie called Red Lights with Robert DeNiro and Sigourney Weaver. It's about magic and psychic powers ( like the ability to call out a birthday and name of a person seated in a congregation) and how to convince an entire country that your magic is real. DeNiro plays the magician.

No need to apologize. Whenever you are insulting or round around Jehovah's wishes, you remind me of Jesus Christ

I still insist that your Bushiri guy should make an amputee grow a limb in any of his videos. Heck he can do it over the air too, right?

Seun:
He didn't melt any abdominal fat. The people he performed the "miracles" on are his accomplices and they simply sucked in their tummies on cue. That's something anyone can do. I explained it to you earlier and here you are still talking about it. Why are people so eager to be fooled?

NPComplete:
Hahahaha. Bushiri is a goddamn fraud.
Please everyone watch those videos and laugh with me. How come his "miraculous" weight loss is only limited to the stomach? If someone's to lose weight they lose it all around their body. They lose fat from their stomachs, arms, necks, thighs etc... The arms and thighs are usually the best indicators of weight loss not the stomach which can easily be contracted. That video just shows there aren't a lot of intelligent people in that church and that followers will always play along with whatever a pastor says with a belief that it will actually work.
I was even expecting to see a real obese person become totally slim on live TV.

NPComplete:
I can't answer this until I see a video of it. Too many people make too many claims. Even Harry Houdini could make a live elephant disappear on stage. It wasnt magic. Just a few tricks here and there. We have to see the video to comment on it.

aaronson:
I have a short answer for you. Look up youtube and go watch/download random videos of a mentalist called Keith Barry. You would know why pastors happens to predict the future or see the past. Now, As regard healing the blind, lame etc if it was true then all the blinds, lame, sick people on the street would have been healed starting from the government general hospitals not their churches.

Seun:
Most men can instantly "cure" themselves of abdominal obesity by simply sucking in their bellies. You can relax your tummy muscles fully to make your pot belly seem bigger than it normally is and then suck it in with all your might to make people believe you've been instantly cured. You can hold it in for a very long time if you're not distracted.

If u are a Nigerian, u won't be asking if someone can claim he has HIV just to make a quick buck. There are too many cases of it. There is even one that happened on Nairaland two years ago. I will find u the link maybe u will see that there is no limit to how low humans will stoop for fame and money.
In Nigeria, pastors send accomplices to bury charms and other fetish objects in people's houses overnight then come back the next money to pray and have a "revelation" that something is buried in the compound then dig it up and claim they have delivered the family.
Too many miracle performing syndicates get caught almost every year and usually because they had a disagreement over their sharing formula.
So Bushiri isn't even half as skilled as the average Nigerian spiritual racketeer. If u spend some time in Nigeria, u will understand why I am a skeptic

NPComplete:
Are my ears ringing? The poor old people? Who should be motivated by pay the more, the rich or the poor? Get d fvck off my mentions u dung beetle. I even thought I was going to read something new and sensible. Go back to jerking off Bushiri and leave me out of it ,u half-witted monkey. LMAO. Imagine, the idiot even acknowledged they are poor old people.

BTW, using 3 different ID's do not make ur arguments any more sensible. We know u are the same dumb person. The idiocy is too obvious in ur thought process.

NPComplete:
Another empty talk from a nonentity. Dude bring proof other than "Bushiri said" or "Bushiri did" then we can start from there. Or take my advice and continue jerking Bushiri off but don't expect anyone here to take u seriously. Butthurt and attacks won't make ur arguments any more sensible. Cheers.

Seun:
To be honest, that line just sounded nice in my head, so I threw it out there. You can actually orchestrate miracles with just pure psychology.

Seun:
@Snyman: you know the real reason why prophets are not respected in their home towns? It's because their people know that they're fake.

NPComplete:
@Snyman, first I am not ur son. Address me like that again and u won't like my response.
Secondly, are u seriously trying to tell me that the whole stuff u quoted up there is a proof the pastor doesn't have fore knowledge about the woman? Common! You are smarter than that. Because he asks the woman if he knows her and she replies in the negative doesnt mean he doesn't know her before. He could have found out before or she is working for him.
I even thought u had some extraordinary proof before instead of saying something is true because Bushiri said so. Bushiri is a fraud. That's no magical power. If I have his resources I could pay people from different parts of Africa to come work for me and agree to everything I claim to prophesy on TV too.
Bring a better proof or go back to ur Bushiri worship and leave me out of it.

Don't quote me as I will not answer you're not worth my time you inconsequential foulmouthed dingleberry(you should check what it means).

Ganjafama:
If you believe that the ark story is true then to you the story of Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz is also true.

Lennycool:
I'm sorry but where is your proof of this, you should think well before mocking the propositions of those smarter and more accomplished than you. Embryology is not my creation, and it is an accepted truth of evolution.
Below is a link for those that care for it
http://necsi.edu/projects/evolution/evidence/embryos/evidence_embryo.html

Lennycool:
Evolution is indeed a fact accepted by the scientific community, yet it is strongly rejected in most religious circles because it undermines the presence of a creator(though some religious groups have accepted it as still the work of God, and have approached Genesis as allegorical). Most of the people that reject it do so because of their religion and little understanding of what evolution really is, to put it plainly.
Evolution is a process by which organism adapt to suit to their environment, by passing advantageous genes over to their offsprings.
A trait possessed by an organism that helps the organism survive will be passed on to its offsprings, while those with traits not suitable to its environment will eventually die out. Natural selection.
What this means is that organism already well suited to their environment require no evolutionary change and will remain the same, we see examples of this with the shark and crocodiles that have gone millions of years virtually unchanged. While those not well suited will change, examples include humans, whales etcetera.

The peppered moth is a great example of observed evolution, before the industrial revolution(a time in which humans depended extensively on machines) peppered moth were more abundant in the white variety, but after the industrial revolution the black moths became abundant and the white ones scarce, this was because the grime and soot caused by the revolution made it more easy to spot the white moth, hence more of them were killed, while the dark ones blended easily. Now the dark moths reproduced and spread their genes to offsprings, while the white ones already drastically reduced in number will pass on their genes to offsprings who will still have a harder time blending in, and will eventually become very rare and close to extinction. This is evolution, survival of the fittest, we see the process of evolution again in bacteria that are becoming harder to fight off with drugs due to evolution. The bacteria affected by the drugs are wiped out, while does that are immune will continue to multiply, this is troubling as one day they may evolve to the point by which drugs can no longer kill them.

Evidence of Evolution has been found in archeological remains of dinosaurs(ancestors of birds), mammoths(ancestors of modern day elephants, protected from the cold by their fur, which they lost after the iceage).

But the most controversial of all are the hominids(Early human ancestors), there are a lot of misconceptions about hominids, such as that they are apes, which is completely false, the hominids are not apes, but rather ancestors that both humans and primates share. They are not apes. And some transitional links have been found, the most famous of all being Lucy found in Ethiopia. Humans also share common ancestors with a lot of other animals, below is a picture of early embryo development of some animals and humans, you can compare. Evolution is real whether we like it or not. Keep your religion but don't let it cloud your reason.

Lennycool:
I commend you for taking the time to answer, you shouldn't use the blue fonts as they are hard to read, also you should try quoting rather than copying what I wrote, must of what you wrote reminds me of this.



This is what you are doing, pulling most of your conjectures from thin air, I won't argue with you. Believe what you want.

It hasn't, also ask them
* why we still have underwater plant life, as sunlight would not reach them thanks to the flood.
*Ask them how a kangaroo hoped all the way from Australia to the middle east. Or the penguin or polar bear how did they enter the ark from the other side of the world.
*How did terrestrial plant life survive after being submerged in water for half a year.
* Where did all the water go to,
*How did Noah and the animals survive the cold and lack of oxygen, since they were higher than the tallest mountain.
* How did fresh water fish survive, since the ocean covered the world.
* why is there a flood story a thousand years older than Noah's
*How did all the animals return to their natural habitat
* Why is there no evidence of the flood, none whatsoever. There should be fossils to correspond with the mass extinction, like in the case of the dinosaurs.

[color=Steelblue][b] "Noah's ark was a little over 9000 square meters (90,000,000 square centimeters) in floor area. There are about 8.7 million species of animals on the earth. A breeding pair of them would make for a little over 17 million, but we will keep the number at 17 million to make things easier."

-God did not instruct Noah to bring two of every species on the boat. But rather in, Genesis 6:19-20

"19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female."

"20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive."

The bible described 3 categories of life. Categories which are close to our own classifications of the animal kingdom.

Every kind of bird’ - The bird kingdom.

Every kind of animal- The mammal kingdom.

Every creature that moves on the ground - Reptiles, amphibians, and insect Kingdom.

It hasn't, also ask them
* why we still have underwater plant life, as sunlight would not reach them thanks to the flood?

-Stupid contention.

*Ask them how a kangaroo hoped all the way from Australia to the middle east. Or the penguin or polar bear how did they enter the ark from the other side of the world?

-Kangaroos did not hop all the way from Australia to the ark. However, the Bible states that the animals came to Noah; he did not have to round them up (Genesis 6:20). God apparently caused the animals to come to Noah. How he did that is irrelevant!

*How did terrestrial plant life survive after being submerged in water for half a year?

-Many terrestrial seeds can survive long periods of soaking in various concentrations of salt water. Indeed, salt water impedes the germination of some species so that the seed lasts better in salt water than fresh water.

-Other plants could have survived in floating vegetation masses, or on pumice from the volcanic activity. Pieces of many plants are still capable of asexual sprouting.

-Many plants could have survived as planned food stores on the ark, or accidental inclusions in such food stores (Genesis 6:21).

-Many seeds have devices for attaching themselves to animals, and some could have survived the flood by this means.

-Others could have survived in the stomachs of the bloated, floating carcasses of dead herbivores.

-The olive leaf brought back to Noah by the dove (Genesis 8:11) shows that plants were regenerating well before Noah and company left the ark.

* Where did all the water go to?

- There are a number of Scripture passages that identify the Flood waters with the present-day seas (Amos 9:6 and Job 38:8-11 note “waves”).

Where did all the water go? Psalm 104 suggests an answer. After the waters covered the mountains (verse 6), God rebuked them and they fled (verse 7); the mountains rose, the valleys sank down (verse and God set a boundary so that they will never again cover the Earth (verse 9)[1]. They are the same waters! Isaiah gives this same statement that the waters of Noah would never again cover the Earth (Isaiah 54:9).

-Clearly, what the Bible is telling us is that God acted to alter the Earth's topography. New continental landmasses bearing new mountain chains of folded rock strata were uplifted from below the globe-encircling waters that had eroded and leveled the pre-Flood topography, while large deep ocean basin were formed to receive and accommodate the Flood waters that then drained off the emerging continents.

*How did Noah and the animals survive the cold and lack of oxygen, since they were higher than the tallest mountain?

-Mount Everest was not the height it is now during the Flood. Earth's highest mountains have fossils of sea creatures at their tops, showing they were once under the sea.


-The possibilities are that… the sea rose to cover the mountains or the mountains were once under the sea and have since risen out of the sea, or a combination of the two.

-Even if the flood waters were 9 kilometers deep,Noah and company would not have had trouble breathing. Air pressure is caused by the weight of air above the point where the pressure is experienced.


-If the water was 9 kilometers deep, then the air that was in that 9 kilometers deep volume of what was atmosphere would have been pushed out and would then have sat above the water at 9 kilometers above the Earth's surface.

* How did fresh water fish survive, since the ocean covered the world?

-If the world was covered by water in the flood, then there would have been a mixing of fresh and salt waters. 

-There are migratory species of fish that travel between salt and fresh water. E.g, salmon, striped bass, and Atlantic spurgeon spawn in fresh water and mature in salt water. Eels reproduce in salt water and grow to maturity in fresh water streams and lakes.

-Many of today's species of fish are able to adjust to both fresh water and salt water. There is also evidence of post-flood specialization within a kind of fish. E.g, the Atlantic sturgeon is a migratory salt/freshwater species but the Siberian sturgeon (a different species of the same kind) lives only in fresh water.

*Why is there a flood story a thousand years older than Noah's?

- I don't understand what you're trying to say here.

*How did all the animals return to their natural habitat?

- Many of them could have floated on vast floating logs, left-overs from the massive pre-flood forests that were ripped up during the flood and likely remained afloat for many decades on the world’s oceans, transported by world currents.

-Others could later have been taken by people. Savolainen et al., have suggested, for example, that all Australian dingoes are descended from a single female domesticated dog from Southeast Asia.

-A third explanation of possible later migration is that animals could have crossed land bridges. This is, after all, how it is supposed by evolutionists that many animals and people migrated from Asia to the Americas—over a land bridge at the Bering Straits.

-For such land bridges to have existed, we may need to assume that sea levels were lower in the post-Flood period—an assumption based on a biblical model of the Ice Age.


* Why is there no evidence of the flood, none whatsoever. There should be fossils to correspond with the mass extinction, like in the case of the dinosaurs?

Global flood evidences includes:

-The earth's features, such as mountains, canyons, regional stratigraphy (large-scale single rock beds), soft bending of rock strata, etc.) require some type of catastrophic explanation.

-Sedimentary rock formations (formed through water deposition) cover substantial portions of North America and other continents.

-There is no evidence that coal, oil, or ore deposits are being formed today, yet massive deposits are found in the earth.

-Likewise, the earth contains many great fossil beds, none of which appear to be forming today either. Fossils require rapid burial to be preserved.

-Ocean fossils are found at high altitudes on all five continents.

-Exceptions in the geologic column indicate that it was not formed in a gradual manner, such as the appearance of single trees that extend vertically through multiple ages.
