Acts 1:7 ESV He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. It appears you don't even read your Bible.

KingEbukasBlog: Yes, a wonderful step, but to what end? The mistakes theists make is that their line of questioning ends there. Life exist because something created it. What created that IT which created the world? Don't tell me that IT just appeared. You have any idea the amount of suffering in the world right now, in Nigeria alone? So you admit if you were raised in Thailand you'd be worshiping elephants now, or as the moon, as Muslims? What makes Christianity so different from all of them, have you ever asked yourself, or you're just so obsessed with the life after death theory? FYI, every single religion or gods on earth also has that theory. So what? 3 Likes |

KingEbukasBlog: No, being religious stems from ignorance and childhood indoctrination. You would be a monk, if you were raised in Tibet. Or a Hindu if you were raised in India.

Remilekun101: Oga, go siddon. History has taught us over and over again that this your conclusion stems from ignorance. And religion thrives under ignorance. The moment humans stop asking question, then they have lost it, otherwise, what is the usefulness of curiosity, and if (let's assume) it was downloaded unto us by a god, or an entity, are you telling me there has to be a limit as to what the human mind can be curious about? It's pointless and it does not make sense. Look around you, every single thing you use on earth was conceived out of curiosity. If curiosity had been killed of since the middle ages, we'd still be waging wars and all. Yes, curiosity also has it's disadvantages, but let me leave you with a simple quote. Whatever can be believed without evidence, can also be dismissed without evidence. If there was or is a maker, then someone or something, also made the maker. Cause and effect. Wrap your brain around that because no one, not even science has conclusive answers. Just read yourself, I just taught you how to reason logically and yet you couldn't infer that as a Computer Science student he's supposed to have been taught logic in school. It is compulsory, or dem remove am from his curriculum? I am not a Computer Science student, but I KNOW LOGIC IS A MANDATORY SUBJECT FOR COMPUTER SCIENCE STUDENTS. Let me rephrase, it's like saying I'm a blogger but I don't use the Internet. How does that sound? Is that a valid reasoning? He is supposed to sue his useless university, and not form a useless computer science graduate on Niaraland 2 Likes |

KingEbukasBlog: I am not a computer scientist, not yet, however, I have an idea of what I'm taking about. Correct me, if I falter In software development , bugs or defects are detected and corrected at a certain stage . Bugs simply deter the execution of commands and debugging simply rectifies this. A software bug is a problem causing a program to crash or produce invalid output. The problem is caused by insufficient or erroneous logic. A bug can be an error, mistake, defect or fault, which may cause failure or deviation from expected results. Most bugs are due to human errors in source code or its design. https://www.techopedia.com/definition/24864/software-bug- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bug You don see?

Remilekun101: Firstly, this is 2015 and you could have easily Googled the definition. But, let me still help, for other lazy Nairaland theists. Reason is the capacity for consciously making sense of things, applying logic, establishing and verifying facts, and changing or justifying practices, institutions, and beliefs based on new or existing information. It is closely associated with such characteristically human activities as philosophy, science, language, mathematics, and art and is normally considered to be a definitive characteristic of human nature. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reason Most of the arguments philosophers concern themselves with are--or purport to be--deductive arguments. Mathematical proofs are a good example of deductive argument. Most of the arguments we employ in everyday life are not deductive arguments but rather inductive arguments. Inductive arguments are arguments which do not attempt to establish a thesis conclusively. Rather, they cite evidence which makes the conclusion somewhat reasonable to believe. The methods Sherlock Holmes employed to catch criminals (and which Holmes misleadingly called "deduction" were examples of inductive argument. Other examples of inductive argument include: concluding that it won't snow on June 1st this year, because it hasn't snowed on June 1st for any of the last 100 years; concluding that your friend is jealous because that's the best explanation you can come up with of his behavior, and so on. It's a controversial and difficult question what qualities make an argument a good inductive argument. Fortunately, we don't need to concern ourselves with that question here. In this class, we're concerned only with deductive arguments. Philosophers use the following words to describe the qualities that make an argument a good deductive argument: Valid Arguments We call an argument deductively valid (or, for short, just "valid" when the conclusion is entailed by, or logically follows from, the premises. Validity is a property of the argument's form. It doesn't matter what the premises and the conclusion actually say. It just matters whether the argument has the right form. So, in particular, a valid argument need not have true premises, nor need it have a true conclusion. A premise is an assumption that something is true. In logic, an argument requires a set of (at least) two declarative sentences (or "propositions" known as the premises or premisses along with another declarative sentence (or "proposition" known as the conclusion. This structure of two premises and one conclusion forms the basic argumentative structure. The following is a valid argument: All cats are reptiles. - premise Bugs Bunny is a cat. -premise So Bugs Bunny is a reptile. - conclusión Neither of the premises of this argument is true. Nor is the conclusion. But the premises are of such a form that if they were both true, then the conclusion would also have to be true. Hence the argument is valid. To tell whether an argument is valid, figure out what the form of the argument is, and then try to think of some other argument of that same form and having true premises but a false conclusion. If you succeed, then every argument of that form must be invalid. A valid form of argument can never lead you from true premises to a false conclusion. For instance, consider the argument: If Socrates was a philosopher, then he wasn't a historian. Socrates wasn't a historian. So Socrates was a philosopher. This argument is of the form "If P then Q. Q. So P." The conclusion of the argument is true. But is it a valid form of argument? It is not. How can you tell? Because the following argument is of the same form, and it has true premises but a false conclusion: If Socrates was a horse (this corresponds to P), then Socrates was warm-blooded (this corresponds to Q). Socrates was warm-blooded (Q). So Socrates was a horse (P). Since this second argument has true premises and a false conclusion, it must be invalid. And since the first argument has the same form as the second argument (both are of the form "If P then Q. Q. So P.", both arguments must be invalid. Invalid arguments give us no reason to believe their conclusions. But be careful: The fact that an argument is invalid doesn't mean that the argument's conclusion is false. The conclusion might be true. It's just that the invalid argument doesn't give us any good reason to believe that the conclusion is true. Hope you enjoy my copy-paste crash course in Logic and Reasoning like a human being and not a religious robot. When you begin to take religious arguments one by one under serious scrutiny, you will see that their invalid conclusions does not make sense. What do you expect from roaming nomads who had no basic knowledge of biology or anything that we do now?

KingEbukasBlog: I can't pin point the exact fallacy in the vomit you wrote up, but it sure falls within these logical fallacies : Affirming the consequent Example: If Bill Gates owns Fort Knox, then he is rich. Bill Gates is rich. Therefore, Bill Gates owns Fort Knox. Owning Fort Knox is not the only way to be rich. Any number of other ways exist to be rich https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirming_the_consequent Post hoc ergo propter hoc Example The rooster crows immediately before sunrise; therefore the rooster causes the sun to rise. I'm very sure your delusional brain knows this to be false. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_hoc_ergo_propter_hoc It appears you need a crash course is reasoning as a human being and not a relifious robot. http://59ways..com.ng/2012/11/informal-fallacies-of-reasoning.html?m=1 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Remilekun101: For lazy theists: Logic (from the Ancient Greek: λογική, logike)[1] is the branch of philosophy concerned with the use and study of valid reasoning.[2][3] The study of logic also features prominently in mathematics and computer science. Just imagine this, one single logic flaw in computer sciences and every computer on earth develops a flaw. Just one single logic error in math and physics and every single plane on air crashes.
