These sorts of sectarian issues are the reasons why Nigeria and Nigerians need to properly stand up for secularism and stop this Sharia law rubbish that operates in some parts of the country.

UyiIredia:


You'll soon meet Jesus the way John Lennon met him. I hope you are smarter than Dawkins and Lennon.

Eventually, all men must die so this statement says nothing to address the hypocrisy of this pastor.

These are the sorts of people Jesus himself campaigned against. He overturned the money changers tables in the temple. Here we have a man or an organization that supposedly subsists on donations, building shopping malls and churches to make more money. Yet his Christian followers see nothing wrong with this?

This to me is the height of hypocrisy in the church. When people say religion is a scam, this is what they're referring to.

I am hustling and doing so much work that I don't even have time for myself.

I have lost weight and gone darker all in the name of surviving in this country.

On the other hand, one useless vagabond I knew in school is balling and driving fancy cars around town. It was only yesterday that he saw me trekking on the road because I had no money to refuel and repair my car, and he offered me a lift. This my vagabond friend is a pastor. This guy is not as educated as I am or even an honest person- he used to roam and even sometimes scam people in our old neighbourhood, back in the day.

Now, this my vagabond friend (now known as "Pastor Show" is oppressing me. He has a BMW jeep, a range rover and a nice house in FESTAC Lagos. He has a small church but he boasts that the money he makes is worthy enough for a bullion van.


Where did I go wrong in life? With all my education and two jobs, a negro like me is still hustling while some scammer can open church and be lounging in money and women.....oh, did I tell you about his wife? Some sexy latina from Columbia. God!!! Why are you punishing me with this oppression?




Long story short, I need to open a church and make millions. Who is with me? Johnydon22 can be the marketer, he get mouth well well. Joseph1832 can be my partner (or second pastor). Plaetton can be the financial adviser while FrancisTony can be the altar boy. Then empiree and rilwayne001 can be the "boko haram actors"- they can act like they were boko haram insurgents but fortunately for them, Pastor Allnaijablogger saved them and showed them the salvation through Christ (this showmanship thrills church congregations)

I find your business proposal interesting. Why don't you draw up a proper business proposal for consideration.

...and d media trial continue. Make dem continue. dasuki, dopkesi will soon be released n aquitted by d court for lack of evidence. I don talk my own.
Even if dem show video of GEJ robbing CBN, he still remains my greatest hero!!!!!!!!!

This is why people like you are the problem we've been talking about. A criminal caught on camera will remain your hero yet you wonder why Nigeria isn't better.

Should have taken pictures or a video of the thieves in action.

Those with fore eye can see it.

I assume that you can see it. If you can, what did you see?

victorazy:


From his body language!
The guy is not magnanimous at all

What in his body language revealed this?

likila:
only three boko haram
and you are jumping up and down.
you even spend more energy taking picture from all angles than fighting the boko haram
mtcheeeew.

Wow. Even killing and capturing terrorists isn't good enough for you. What do you really want? Do you really want to wait to see how many three well armed people can kill before you think killing and capturing such people is a step in the righ direction?

Who took the picture?

BeeBeeOoh:
But, it doesn't change the fact that our Presidentourer don't have blueprint on how to stop insurgency..

What else do you think he should be doing? These developments look better than the events in December last year.

How do you know he is behind the malpractice?

banio:
When I was a child I thought offerings would be poured in a basin, then God will come down and take the money. But on realising it was pastors that spent the money, as a child I stopped giving offering in church. Yet, God in his infinite Mercies still blessed me.
When I grew older I gave God something huge that I felt. Though I gave it as a bribe in my conscience so that the Pastor will facilitate my request. But to my greatest surprise God blessed me with a 6 digit job.
Giving brings blessings beyond quantification

How did you give this huge thing to God? Did he come for it?

Reality

The universe is much bigger than the earth. How do you know that the universe isn't fine tuned for stars? Or hydrogen?

Good evening Amateur Septic(sic)

it's so obvious that I really hate saying it.
It's also so obvious that Hawking, Dawkin and EVERYBODY talks about it.
Sadly, most downplay this for reasons known best to themselves.

Specifically, I want to pick your brains on Multiverse Theory
1. What are your views on this relatively new attempt at explaining away fine-tuning?
2. Do you have alternative spins?

You can start here if multiverse is a vocabulary
http://discovermagazine.com/2008/dec/10-sciences-alternative-to-an-intelligent-creator

Who says "everything" is fine-tuned for life on earth?

This guy is still deluding himself with his money.

I guess they're the conduit. God can't take the money from you directly, he needs some go-between to help him.

davidylan:


I did. I spent 5 years earning a phd in molecular biology, which promptly dispelled the silly myth that science had the answers to life and the origin of man. But of course... be my guest explaining that to us.

Did that PhD dispel the theory of evolution? I'm generally suspicious of people who drop claimed titles on anonymous forums. And I'm really suspicious of this degree you claim. When and where did you earn this PhD?

davidylan:


Considering i have not said anything about these theories at all neither have had any reason to since the topic is not on physics theories... i wonder what you mean by my "ignorance". Other than the typical cheap insult, i'm not sure where you get the idea that i am "ignorant" of these theories...

Pointing out your ignorance isn't insulting you when you're actually ignorant. I wonder why you're wailing when you were unable to show what was silly about anything I said. I got the idea that yopu were ignorant because you were asking for theories that compared to Newton's and I gave you a few of them.

davidylan:

The idea that these theories are "more accurate" is quite a useless comparison. Its like saying that Gregor Mendel's laws of genetics are now obsolete since we now know what the structure of DNA is. Frankly many of the statements here are just bizarre.

No it isn't useless. They more accurately predict the movement of bodies in space which was the aim of Newton's theories. That is why I find your responses here not just bizzare but ignorant.

davidylan:


If Newton were atheist, i'm guessing he would be one of the brilliant minds you would be quoting no? Quite silly really. Where are your theories and how do they match up with Newton's?

Well he would be less likely to believe in the other weird stuff he believed in. Whether or not I would quote him in that hypothetical situation would depend on what he said. What's silly here is your ignorance of modern scientific theories like the theory of relativity, and quantum field theory. They are more accurate.

davidylan:


The vastness of the cosmos is meaningless without life itself. Biology helps us understand how that life came about and what guides its interaction with the cosmos. You're trying to put the cart before the horse... largely because you either dont understand biology or you do and realize that it contradicts your point of view. Hiding behind the "vastness of the cosmos" is just useless IMO.

The cosmos is still vast and the entire earth is still insignificant at the cosmic scale. Actually, the cosmos came before the earth and the earth came before life. Personal interest is a personal preference. What exactly is being contradicted by biology?

davidylan:

You really dont want to go down the road of the fossil record because i am quite certain you have never studied it at all. If you did, you would stay quite clear of using it as proof for evolution... there is a reason no one is talking it up. If the fossil record for intermediate life forms existed (as would be expected if indeed evolution occurred) no one would be debating the theory today.

Actually the fossil record is one of the lines of evidence for evolution and actually scientists still discuss it. Well there are fossils of intermediate life forms and the theory's explanatory power is still strong.

davidylan:

To say Newton was a victim of a lack of scientific knowledge that dominated his era is dishonest at best or stupid at worst. Take a look at the 3 laws of motion again and please explain how that is evidence of an era that lacked scientific knowledge.

But it is true. Newton also had lots of misguided ideas and had no knowledge of the current theories that are more accurate than his.

davidylan:

The problem with such ridiculous nonsense is that it is typical of those who like to hide behind the facade of "enlightenment" when in fact they are simply empty suits.

Yet we have Christians who still think the earth is 6000 years old give or take a few centuries or that there is some God out there who cares what humans wear and who sleeps with who. What is the problem with that sort of ridiculous nonsense?

Guess who's back, the OLA is back.

And he still has those pictures. It's amazing.

After reading the actual story and not the headline, how do we know when this happened? What makes people jump to the conclusion that it was during this administration?

Are these things Christians have to believe but don't believe or are they things Christians don't have to believe?

SeverusSnape:
Buhari is as confused as an ambushed rat. He doesn't know what he's doing.

Let his body language do the magic instead.

Toothless mongrel who can't do anything!

Why are you so bitter when the extent of corruption under Jonathan is exposed? One would have expected ordinary people to be rejoice.

FreeGlobe:
This president is super clueless. Instead of finding how to fulfill his campaign promises to the northerners and yorubas that voted him, he is busy chasing shadows

Won't stamping out corruption and recovering looted funds be one way of fulfilling his campaign promises to Nigerians? Or do you think only Northerners and Yorubas are the Nigerians who voted him in?

Mumu-ish boy like you.

This is why you're a proper fool. It appears that you have nothing sensible to say. Or you've said all your tiny brain is capable of.

cytellProperty:
What is " have you studies anything at all" Olodo!!!

You're a fool. So the best criticism of my response you have is a typo? I guess a genius like yourself has never made any grammatical or typographical errors? Well looking through your posts shows otherwise.

cytellProperty:
How does incompetency link with the building of power plants over the years? Maybe you think its 5 Months that is used to build a power plant that you are ascribing the glory to Buhari. Go and study more and get informed, so you will not continue to mis-inform.

Take a look at your first sentence here. Do you think that is a sensible sentence construction? In your second sentence, why is the "M" in months capitalized? And in your last sentence, what is "mis-inform"? You miserable fool why is there a hyphen there?

You see anyone can ignore actual points and instead focus on trivial issues the fact is that people do this when they have no points to make. Talk to me when you have actual points to make.

It is gross incompetence not to have completed a single power plant. Coal and gas fired plants take less than five years to build. 2 or three of each could have been began and completed simultaneously at multiple sites during his administration instead we have people looting more than 6 billion dollars under his watch. That is incompetent leadership. It isn't like he was building nuclear plants.

I have studied and I'm informed have you studies anything at all?

UyiIredia:


Those aren't legs, they are hind parts whose functions are unknown.

.

That's what it says. If one believes different lifeforms such as plants, apes, fishes, birds etc gradually diversified from a common ancestor and still diversify, then without a doubt one does believe there is no limit to how a species varies.



And how do you know I didn't read my sources. This is an excuse. A bad one.



Back to my question, is there good design in living things ?



Except that's not my conclusion. My conclusion was that the chemical processes in the brain isn't sufficient to account for consciousness.



Did the failed theologian have background knowledge before theorizing about the origins of species ? You see how stupid you are.



And which experiment shows species originate from a common ancestor ? Where in your favorite article was experiment used to support the infrence to xommon descent ?

I'll respond to you here and that will be my final contribution to this post.

Your very first sentence here made me conclude that you're either just too ignorant or dishonest to have this discussion with me. You're denying evidence right before your eyes of hind limbs in whales and other cetacea. You declare that known parts are unknown. That to me is like someone looking at the picture of the globe taken from space showing the African continent and saying that the structure before them is unknown. Such a level of dishonesty or ignorance I can't abide.

So, take the time to educate yourself by taking one of the free online courses on evolution. Or just stop being dishonest. Pick the one that applies best to you.

Good luck to you.

Mumu, you think increased power generation happens overnight, the result we are seeing is a product of Jonathan's efforts.

Five years of Jonathan's work manifest three months after his presidency? I say there's something incompetent about his leadership abilities.

I find people like you amazing. You consider it highlighting the waste during the Jonathan administration mere propaganda? Yet you wonder why Nigeria isn't making any progress with mindsets like yours.
