AllNaijaBlogger:Larger guns are mere instruments use in fighting... War is Art! It involves strategies and care planing. You ever heard or read the book, The Art Of War by Sun Tzu?.

joseph1832: How do you know you are not some form of advanced nano-machine yourself? The air you breath is what keeps you living, once it's cut-off, your physical body dies! What makes you think your thoughts whether positive or negative are not influenced by advanced forces beyond your understanding? To me, I feel humans are more like biological machines with free will Isaiah 46:10-11 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it. Did I hear you say "our forefathers had no science"? Science is ancient and by far older than poetry; the science of mathematics, agriculture, fire, medicine etc are by far more ancient than poetry! War is primarily a product of human nature...War and sorrow will continue as long as unrighteousness rules the world we live in! In fact violence, killings, rapes and all forms of immoralities are by far worst in today's world than in ancient times! |

joseph1832: Yes, but entertainment with technology and science. That is why Nollywood cant produce a film like the matrix. Poetry won't give you the coding/programming to do the CGI for the over-the-top action scenes |

joseph1832:Yeah their is a balance. And entertainment is just for the money, the fame and for relaxation, but science is part of us. Infact every man on the surface of this earth is scientist, do you know why? Because man is very curious being. He always want to know more, always searching for that answer and art and religion offer offer that temporal relieve like a drug |

AllNaijaBlogger:A logical argument, my friend? To be frank with you, I don't think you will understand a logical argument if this is how you see one that isn't. Let me help you. The immaterial or unseen things, thoughts, emotions rule the material world. Poetry addresses the immaterial. Tell me how it doesn't. |
Re: Opinion: Why Poetry Is Important, And Could Be More Important Than Science by AllNaijaBlogger(m): 12:14pm On Jan 16, 2015 |
Reyginus: Your argument is illogical. This world is a material world. Both science and religion acknowledge that. Your thoughts and emotions are very material as they depend on the environment, hormones and your brain. You cant just make up a premise and throw it in an argument. Who told you that the immaterial rules the material? |
