Oh no. The faces of all these girls show they've been possessed by a spirit. Please 1 like = 1 prayer. |
Long time boyfriend eh? She fell for the oldest trick in the book. He just owned her, put a personal password on her pvnny while he goes smashing around. ![]() |
Bauer1:1. Try not to attack the perspicacity of a person to make your point. I don't know if you've thought my thoughts or seen the things I've seen. 2. There you go again with the analogies. God can't be compared to air. You can see air (in it's condensed form), you can burn it, you can breathe, you can perform physical actions with it, it is universal. Although it bears different names across the world, it's physical (and chemical qualities) are constant and not confusionist. Same can never be said for your God. So they are not the same. Again, things around you are evidence for things around you. Inference is not evidence, it is an higher order thinking skill that isn't going to help you prove your God exists. If God exists, we won't have your inference, no we'd have a God. |
Bauer1:Miller Urey experiment has been criticized for a lot of things including it's assumption about the state of the primitive earth's atmosphere but one thing that hasn't been falsified (from repeated experiments that used the MU experiment as reference) is that simple things can naturally come together to form complex structures - which I can see you've mentioned as well. It is relevant today because it was the breakthrough that solve the conundrum of how animate structures came to be. Be careful with your analogies. They seem to toggle between shortsightedness and superfluity. When you consider that the 5 elements present in genetic material are not the parts of a Boeing, maybe it'll start becoming clearer to you. The elements only need form the amino acids and gain the impulse to start copying themselves. Which brings me to the mystery of life. We don't know the specific point life started or it's trigger but we have done better than the creator assumption. We know the basic things that must exist for life to be, a demonstration is available as to how these elements can come together. By a long shot, it is a better argument than "a creator/designer did it". In this case, even your creator's explanation is violating the Occam's razor. No, the argument is not about evolution. It is about how we don't need a creator for the complexity we see around us. The arguments against evolution is already tenuous. I mean, it has applications in the world today, how does someone argue against what has applications in the modern world? |
Bauer1:The Miller Urey experiment. This famous experiment shows how the building blocks of life can form naturally in the early settings of the earth. Although there's been many different versions of the experiment, they all point to the same conclusion. Even now, people use computer models and maths equations to try elucidate the process and it still agrees with the experiment. ......The argument isn't about evolution, maybe some other time. |
Bauer1:A house is not a universe, they stand in contradistinction to each other in physical structure and formative processes. There's no point comparing them. No, it doesn't require faith to accept that this universe had a beginning that doesn't include a creator or celestial designer. Because not only is it unlikely, those of you touting designers and creators have a very hard time proving the existence of one. |
Bauer1:Like I said your logic is not thorough; while it sticks for things like houses, phones, whatever, it collapses when it comes to understanding biological organisms, physical and chemical interactions. A baby growing in the tummy is even an example to show you how complexity can form from simpler forms but it is not a very good example because you'll be pointing me to the mother's role in the baby's growth/development. However, I can refer you to how genetic material can form naturally in nature or how a system full of randomness like the early universe can self-generate ordered and interacting complex subsystems like galaxies and solar systems. |
Bauer1:Testifies? Really? Complex designs around us is proof of complex designs. If there was a god, we'd have empirically established the existence of it and not need inference from complex designs. Your logic is not thorough, the "creator" can be anything and complex designs could form/derive/evolve from simpler designs without interference or direction of an outside force. |
EASY32:Please did you write the test? |
All frailty of the human mind. We need to hinge our fears, shortcomings, desires, weaknesses and ignorance on tangible things. Alas, that's not possible so we invent inscrutable phantoms like god, karma and fate. |
231 should be the answer but the question is not valid. |
Be wary of self acclaimed leaders that shy away from the chance to actually promote and expatiate on their ideologies when given a juicy chance to do so. Buhari avoided debate, see Nigeria now. Kanu is avoiding debate.... ![]() |
divinehand2003:The only tangible thing the Yoruba share is their cultural identity of being descendants of the Southwestern indigenes of Nigeria. That said, a people can't develop by just thinking in one direction. Conflict, dissent and evaluations of how people can find a middle ground for their differences is the way forward. It is a good thing that we don't have Herd mentality or that we don't try forcing ourselves into herd mentality (like people up north or far east). YOLICOM made a declaration, people are stating their disagreement....that's how it should be. We don't trust you say? Why then is the SW heterogeneous, cosmopolitan and a melting pot of different cultures? ![]() |
Why are people wailing on this thread? The penalty is death for pushing drugs in Indonesia. Clemency or not, he's still going to the gallows. The Indonesians might have gotten overzealous but this shouldn't be making news. |
Monicks:Are you saying you didn't save answer for each question? If you had gone back to check through your work, you'll see that the answers you ticked previously would have empty circles. This was my experience; I didn't click save answer, I went back halfway and I discovered the answers previously chosen were blank. Not until after I started clicking save answer did the numbers of the questions change from blue to red, and the answers also stuck when I went back to check them. I also didn't play with that submit thing. I submitted before time was up. It's to avoid dreaming up conjectures to satisfy the "what ifs" you guys have been discussing since. Anyway, it's just my experience. Could be wrong. |
Drnice, Citizenjuwon, Anzabur You guys need to quit your bickering. Some of us get notifications and rush to this thread hoping to see something more important about DPR than your arguments. Mbok. |
Why won't they be able to buy Ducati? When they've hugely profited off this cesspit called Nigeria. Bajaj bikes are the most popular infrastructural tools the able bodied human capital falls back on in the face of our economic implosion. And those bikes go for 210k a piece. Our misfortune, their growth. ![]() |
Drnice:How did you come about this great nugget of knowledge? You're a recruiter, no? :-/ |
olasaad:People like you are the problem. Even if they did inform them of a change of date, were candidates given ample time to adjust to the change? At least a week's notice would have sufficed. You're telling us to take sh.it lying down. No wonder the country has gone to sh.it so much recruiters can't even respect candidates and the time they'd invest in the process. Shio |
MzQuadrey: As in ehn. Those statements and conclusions na wa. I also did not know I had to click save answer for each question I answer. I thought I'd answer all the questions in a section and then save answer. I was halfway before I realized this. |
lawrence83:It won't. Your login details for the test requires your email (as username) and the phone number you used to register for the recruitment (as password). I believe they did that because passwords always bring up issues. |
Help yourself to understanding because you shouldn't be thinking about stuff in this direction. It is only when the said gods conveniently chose not to verifiably exist that people (atheists) started lacking a belief in their existence. You think if everybody worshipped shoes as gods, there'd be ashoeism? Universes, phones, they exist. There is no point here. |
All of them are demonstrably false. Why? They rely on intangible things and obfuscation to present their case. |
madridguy:I'm sure your sentiments for Islam has left you blindsided to it's culpability too. |
cocoberry:I don't play at all.. |
yvelchstores:First, I am not religious and I do not believe in God. I respect the right of people to believe in God and worship accordingly, I also admire their resolve to do so despite indications that it might be a bad trade off in the long run. I only referred to tithing in my comment in a lighthearted manner, you are barking up the wrong wall. Second, given that I do not believe in God, I can't possibly believe in your "devourers" neither does your pity matter. I take responsibility for my actions and that should be most important. Third, I believe you are the one needing some education on tithing. It is an obsolete practice, it has been repealed in the bible and should not even be done they way you people do it. If your pastors were honest with you, they would have told you this, alas, most of them are charlatans in Suits that need to keep up their ostentatious lifestyles. |
cocoberry:I doubt that but it can be possible if you be my girlfriend. ![]() |
Nma27:I have enough, I don't go a borrowing and I am fine. |

cricifixo:Do you just want to talk for the sake of it? Teaching in one of the professions that is not routine, you cannot automate it. There are many ways to deliver pedagogy because the scope of learning is dynamic. A teacher must be creative at all times, be a skilled communicator, able to relate with diverse perceptions and must ensure learning takes place by doing all they possibly can. You can't just give that job to a robot or any nonentity to do. I am a teacher, I love being one, it is a noble and worthwhile venture, you can also make a killing from it. |
Aragon:What fact? That atheism is a religion based on belief? I think you and anybody that think atheism is a religion have comprehension issues that you need to sort before coming into this discourse. I can't understand a definition for you. |
2dugged:How can lack of belief be a religion? The only thing atheists have in common with each other is their lack of belief. There is no code, no creed, no doctrine or behavioural obligations on how to be an atheist. It can't qualify as a religion. But I wonder why you people are always keen to group atheism as a religion. Does that tell us that tagging it as a religion is to bring it down because you regard religion as bad? ![]() |




YES!!!
