musKeeto: This is embarassing..and can u explain divine healing? Raising from the dead? The conviction and power that comes on you when the 'PURE' (NOTE THE EMPHASIS) word of God whom u deny is preached? |
Re: What Are Your Views On Supernatural Occurrences? by lekkie073(m): 6:02pm On Apr 30, 2013 |
all things exist within their own confinement. magicians use supernatural means to do tricks, hindus use it for levitation, buddhists also practice such. but that doesnt mean a supernatural being will always be at advantage over physical beings |

Kay 17:well not all things that are beyond physics, can be attributed to being metaphysical, but simply put, I would say the supernatural could be a branch of science that has not been fully explored, hence it's said to be beyond the physical. and I hope that soonest in our academic institutions there would arise a need to create the "department of supernatural studies" where people like ijawkid can go and study sorcery and wizardry!!! |

Chibuebem: and can u explain divine healing? Raising from the dead? The conviction and power that comes on you when the 'PURE' (NOTE THE EMPHASIS) word of God whom u deny is preached?There's only healing.. nothing like divine healing... if there was divine healing, we could as well shut down all the hospitals... Raising from the dead? No one has ever been raised from the dead... Word of God? Lol.. The Koran, The Bible... the millions of other religious text that exist in this world? GOD NEVER WROTE ANY WORD........ 1 Like |

bolaino: Well, after all is said and done it still boils down to the concept of "seeing is believing" to u guys, (as should every rational human) superstition thrives on belief, and believing in it is you giving yourself to it, Seeing means you "saw". It does not necessarily mean its real. Think about this. Now think of a mirage. From far you see water but is it really water you see? Is there really water? Seeing a mirage from far, you could swear that there was water even without investigation but would it be so? Similarly, when you think you see something seemingly unnatural, you shouldnt be in such a hurry to call it supernatural. So no, seeing is not believing. I have seen inexplicable things as well but I do not call them supernatural. 1 Like |

Muskeeto, mazaje, purist, dare2think, and all my freethinking brethren, u guys have all given me convincing arguments to buttress your point that there are indeed no supernatural occurrences, u've disproved, my theories on cris angel, eGg in the bottle, crucifix in the bottle and most of my arguments.

bolaino: well, I understand your stance in aLl this, you live abroad, you stay among people who hold little or no superstitious belief(s) and to you superstition is absurd and unintelligent, I get, Here is the thing. . .The GREATEST magicians on earth that to magnificent and incredible magical feats like Darren Brown, David Copperfiled, Jame Randi are all atheist, Chris Angle is the only one among them that is a theist, all of them including Chris Angle have said that no body has any supernatural power, James Randi has dropped 1 million dollars to any body that can demonstrate his supernatural powers, many people have come forward and all have been exposed. . .The tricks they used have been exposed. . .As for the bullet prove juju stuff it is simply a LIE. . .If you are shot at and the bullet hits you it must penetrate, no body can chest a bullet. . .Most of the OPC people you see around demonstrating their pullet proof juju mostly use blanks, the gun will fire and make the normal sound, but most use blkank bullets to beguile the public. . .When it comes to crisis, most of the people use locally made guns that have no precision at all. . .The bullets are mostly small round balls of iron that people always survive...They are not so fatal. . .I dare any one in the world to come forward and chest my AK47 bullet and win 10,000 euros. . .After which I will convert to what ever religion the person belongs to and he also has chance to shot me back as a punishment for my unbelief. . .I am NOT kidding. . . I will post some video of James Randi here for you to see, even the white people are superstitious, biut one thing with them is they always come forward to put their alleged "powers" to test and all of them that have come forward have failed. . . 1 Like |

bolaino: yeah talking about magic, there's an american magician by the name of criss angel, he walks on water and he levitates, and believe u me, it's no trick, u need to watch it for urself and believe, so what do u have to say about something like that? Criss Angel does not claim to have supernatural powers. Based on that claim we can safely assume he is some sort of a magician or an illusionist. A very good one for that matter. This guy would have been worshiped like a god if he was in naija. "Interestingly, Criss Angel does not claim to have supernatural powers. He even went as far as saying that he doesn't know anyone who can demonstrate to have supernatural powers. Criss Angel even offered a cool one million greenbacks from his own pocket to anyone who can prove that they have supernatural powers. This he did on national TV." http://kudlit.hubpages.com/hub/Criss-Angel-Magic-Tricks-Revealed I will keep emphasizing that juju plays on people's irrational fears. Juju has never been scientifically proven... to the best of my knowledge. Juju is always hearsay. Juju is ancient bullshit. IN SHORT |

A lot of things that science cannot give any explanation let alone a good explanation. That something supernatural has not happened to you does not mean that it does not occur. At my level as an engineer, I have witnessed it. Well, it is not about talking. Go to Enugu-ezike, in Igbo eze L G A of Enugu state and look for amrried lady sleep with her. What happens to the lady, come to nairaland and explain to us scientifically. Here I rest my case. Again, a woman that I know very well had issues of adultery with her husband and they separated. About 20years later, the man died and the wife went for condolence since the man did not marry another wife. As soon as the woman stepped her feet on the man compound, she became blind and all the specialist in eyecare she visited could not explain what her case was let alone treating her. The woman died blind after some years. Science cannot explain a lot of things at all. |
