am0s: yes naw...If I believe that a donkey talked, a guy walked on the sea, a rod turned into a snake, food rained from the sky, an ark contained all life forms(from the smallest protists to the largest mammals), a virgin conceived without IVF or sexual intercourse amongst all other ridiculous and primitive fables contained in a book written by different men from the stone age, then, all the education I've acquired would be a complete waste of time. Don't bother trying to argue with me as well..you might just lose your faith. |
am0s: whats not wrong in being an atheistI'm guessing you're a Christian. Big deal. |
FrancisTony: Request sent.What's wrong with being an atheist? |

Lol..I'm serious guys. I have contacted the help desk. I might have to repay..#carelessness |
i don misplace my teller ohhhhhhh *****dies***** |
There are various definitions for alkali. Alkali is often defined as a subset of base. However, two subsets are commonly chosen. A basic salt of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal. (This includes Mg (OH) 2 but excludes NH 3). Any base that is water-soluble and forms hydroxide ions or the solution of a base in water. (This excludes Mg(OH) 2 but includes NH 3). |
Your anointing has failed to cure people with Ebola but you come here to showcase e-anointing? I've got one problem. Senile men like you shouldn't be roaming the streets. Do us all and your sorry self a favour and fix that. |
John G Lake, like every other Pentecostal Revivalist, is a fraud. Read up on him on Wikipedia and educate your ignorant self. Thank me later. |
Princeadebayo1: question says:Thanks a bunch. |
Na wa for Christians oh. Sex before marriage, wrong. Marriage itself, wrong. Thinking of it, the world needs less idiots and lesser baby idiots. Just cut the something and die. |
Zikdik: Can someone please explain the solution to the second question in last year's chemistry? |

dhammyg: TO FAYEMI:You really should stop commenting on issues you know little or nothing about. |
Christians be masturb.ating on this thread. Common sense and an elementary knowledge of Biology should tell anyone this is a struggle of organisms to thrive in an unfavourable habitat. Plus, that area isn't even a DESERT. But again, ignorance and Christianity are synonymous. |
banom: Thanks man. Missed you guys.Talking donkeys, food falling from the sky, a pregnant virgin, e.t.c. You never really were an atheist. Glad to have you back though. |
One question: Did you really convert to Christianity? |
doyouknowjohnny: two senseless kids on the loose who think anything that happens irrespective of its nature has to be associated with pdp or apc..smhYour post reeks of complete idiocy. Did I mention PDP? I only made reference to the unprecedented development in Lagos under the governorship of BRF despite the mullish attempts to undermine it by "haters". Guilty conscience. |

Philosophy and Science are as old as time itself. Some modern day theories are fashioned after postulates of ancient philosophy. That doesn't prove anything. The Bible also contains talking animals, sticks turning into snakes, food falling from the sky, e.t.c Very Scientific. |
Liveair: But wait Zikdik! If the Pyramids are BCE 2550 old, then Noah's flood, which i actually calculated to have taken place at 1656 years after creation (Noah was 600 years then) must have taken place and dried up even before the pyramids were built in 2550 BCE.Biblical chronology puts Noah's flood at 2345 BCE. |
MissShakira: Thou shall not use d name of God invainWhat? It's a great name. |
The great, big, sexist, misogynist, racist, bloody Asian prick. |
No one gives a f*ck. |
smurfy: Now clap for yourself. Not for the obvious act of plagiarism but for publicly declaring your ignorance.I didn't take credit for the article. It was mailed to me by the author so I decided to share. Why are Christians so pained? Do you have anything to counter any point raised in the article? No too? |
1. The Pyramids Everyone knows that they are there. Even Charismatic Protestants apologists can't deny their existence. So how does their very existence destroy Biblical inerrantism? Because every single one of them was built hundreds of years before the Bible says that the Flood supposedly wiped out humanity. The Great Pyramid of Khufu in Giza was built around 2550 BC according to Egyptian records. That is 200 years before the flood. Embarassingly, God's miles high flood made no mark on the pyramids or their contents. The mummies and artifacts inside are still dry and in great shape. If there really had been enough water to cover the Earth, it would have exerted a force of at least 1.8 million pounds per square foot on the Pyramids (assuming that the water was high enough to cover the entire Earth and all the mountains as the Bible says). This amount of pressure would have completely destroyed the antiquated architecture and mummies. 2. Tree Rings Dendrochronology, the study of tree rings, is an interesting and informative science that can tell us much about history. Every year, each tree creates a new growth ring. The size of this ring depends on the conditions of that year. Scientists can take cores of these trees and count the number of tree rings in order to give the age of the tree. Each year has a distinctive pattern depending on the local conditions. Amazingly, we have a species of tree, known as Bristlecone Pines, that provide a record of tree rings that extends back 11,000 years to 9,000 BC. This is an obvious problem for those that believe that the Earth was still "matter unorganized" back then. We even have a tree, known as Methuselah, that has now been alive for 4,842 years and counting as shown by its rings. That means that the tree was born in 2831 BC. This tree (and many others) kept living right on through the Flood that supposedly killed everything in 2350. The lowly Bristlecone Pine has toppled the Holy Bible simply by living when it should have died. 3 Carbon Dating Radiometric dating is one of the strongest killers of Biblical literacy and one that creationists love to hate. Basically, radiometric dating measures the amount of an isotope and its decayed products are present in a given sample. It is based on the universally admitted fact that radioactive things decay at a certain rate. Through simple math, one can figure out the age of the sample. Radiometric dating is important because it proves that fossils are much older than a few thousand years old. This data shows that the Earth has been around for 4.5 billion years which obviously destroys the Ussher Chronology. Creationists often claim that "decay rates may have changed" or "I carbon dated my dead cat and the answer was off, so..." I have heard all kinds of silly attempts to discredit radiometric dating. The fact remains that we have used this method with not only carbon-14, but with more than 50 other isotopes to confirm the dates. Each of these 50 isotopes decays at a different rate. Yet, they all agree that the Earth is more than 4.5 billion years old. This is important. The half-lives for isotopes range from 70*10-18 seconds for Be-8 to 2.28*1024 years for Te-128. This is a huge range of time. That means that God would have had to speed up each of the 50 isotope's half-lives by vastly different factors in order to fool us into thinking that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old. How ridiculous. My question is: why do creationists make insane claims about basic laws of physics in order to defend a Bronze Age myth? 4 Egyptian Hieroglyphs and Sumerian Before 2250 BC and the Tower of Babel, according to Biblical mythology, the only language on the planet was Adamic. All of the other languages, including Egyptian and Sumerian, were created by the confusion of tongues. Therefore, it is devastating that we have found hundreds of examples of writing that date to a thousand years before the Tower of Babel. Egyptian writings are also powerful evidence against Biblical literalism. The first known Egyptian hieroglyphic inscription was the Narmer Palette which is a collection of writing that dates to 3200 BC. This writing existed 1,000 years before the Tower of Babel when the Egyptian language was supposedly created. The first examples of Sumerian Cuneiform date to 3300 BC. Obviously, two completely different languages existed long before the Tower of Babel "created" them all and neither of them was Adamic. 5 Egyptian Dynastic Records Thanks to a well-developed system of record keeping and well-preserved papyri (which oddly enough, survived the Flood), we know an amazing amount about the Egyptian dynasties of the Old Kingdom. We know the exact years that each pharoah rose to power and then was replaced beginning with the Pharoah Zanakht, who rose to power in 2649. This line continues unbroken until the Pharoah Unas (2356-2323 BC) who obviously survived the "Global Flood" in 2349. This line continues until Nemtyenmzaf (2255-2246 BC) who reigned while God was changing everyone's language. Luckily, God forgot Egypt existed and no major disruptive linguistic change occurred during those few centuries when the Tower of Babel suppposedly happened. 6 Kangaroos, Lemurs, Frogs, and Emus Besides the obvious absurdity that Noah crammed 2 of each of the more than 5,000 mammal species, 10,000 bird species, 1,000,000 insect species, and 9,000 reptile species in a 450 foot long boat, there are other biological problems with the Bible. Leaving aside all the evidence for evolution, we can look at current animal distribution to see that Noah's Ark is bunk. Supposedly, Noah collected 2 of each animal into his boat and rode the Flood out for a year until he disembarked and released all of these animals from one point on Earth (legend says in Turkey). They then reproduced and spread out to where they are now. If this were true, animals would be present wherever they could have migrated since the Flood. Animals go where they can survive. That would mean that there would not be the kind of differences that we see in the world. Why are most Marsupials in Australia? Are we really expected to believe that all the Kangaroos got off the Ark and made a beeline for Australia without leaving one behind on the mainland? Why did all the Lemurs head for Madagascar? Why are the platyrrhines only found in the Western Hemisphere and catarrhines only in the Old World? How did all those animals get to Australia or any other island at all? Frogs cannot survive in salt water, so how did they get to Australia? I could list such problems in animal distribution forever. These questions are all easily answered by evolution, but they really make no sense if we accept Genesis. 7 Oil and Coal Every time a creationist drives he is benefitting from the fact that he is wrong. Petroleum only exists because the Earth is billions of years old. As most know, it is formed when the remains of phytoplankton and zooplankton settle to the bottom of the sea and are compressed and decomposed in anaerobic conditions. There is no other way to make petroleum. Enormous amounts of heat, pressure, and time are require to create petroleum. Only geologic time could do it. The gas in your car is great proof that Christian Fundamentalists are wrong when they said that the Earth was 6,000 years old. |

Respect, like every other privilege, has to be earned. Atheists are not responsible for making religious believers feel better about their religion or their theism. Atheists are not responsible for helping validate religious theism by treating it with a respect or deference that it hasn't earned. Atheists are not responsible for protecting the feelings of religious theists by not speaking out, showing where theists haven't supported their claims or where they have used poor arguments. Theists who believe they can't handle pointed, direct, and even harsh criticism of their religious and theistic beliefs always have the option of just not bringing them up. This is precisely the same choice facing every person and every belief: you can either put your belief out in public for comment and critique, or you can keep it to yourself. You don't have the option of putting your belief out in public and then insisting that everyone respect it or not criticize it. |
Anyone with a copy of the past questions should please mail it to me via isaactimileyin8@gmail.com Fake or not, they're just practice tools and not expected questions. |
The protest began at the Faculty of Science with the Student Union President, Ibitola Babatope aka SUGARITO advising the students to be of peaceful conduct while firmly asserting their right. The protesting students then marched to the 4-in-1 LT to mobilize other students who were unaware and the reception was massive. From their they proceeded to the GST office and the GST coordinator advised them to proceed to the Admin Block to meet with the V.C as the decision to increase or decrease the fees lies with and is the responsibility of the Senate. As at the time of this report, the students are still on the march #no to inconsiderate price hiking # we want substantial reduction # EKSU says no. |
Students of the Ekiti State University are currently organizing a peaceful protest over the unnecessary 22% increase in the GST fee for the second semester of the 2013/2014 session. Pictures aren't allowed but I'd try to give updates and as at when due. We no go pay o, we no go pay. 3.2....we no go pay. |
