God Is Dead by captainnigeria(m): 10:01pm On Jun 12, 2016 |
The idea of God is a hoax. This is a lie perpetuated by ignorance and the need to keep hope alive. People want to believe in something so they can say their lives meant something. Alas we are not special. You are the same dacaying organic matter as everybody else. I will give just one evidence to prove this illusion called God though many examples abound The age of the earth. According to the Abrahamic religions which include christianity and islam, the earth is probably like 9000 YEARS OLD if we take from the beginning when Adam was created and we progress through to jesus christ and anow 2016 years after death. Geology and quantum physics tell us otherwise. These denials of modern geology are astonishing in the extreme to any scientist familiar with the depth and strength of the evidence for a 4.54 billion-year-old earth. Geologic dates are calculated using any of several well-established techniques based on known rates of radioactivity, a phenomenon that is rooted in fundamental laws of physics (quantum mechanics), and which follows simple mathematical formulas. Dating schemes based on rates of radioactivity have been refined and scrutinized for several decades. For details on how these ages are measured and calculated, see Radiometric dating. So how reliable are these dates? As with any experimental procedure, these measurements are subject to certain “glitches” and “anomalies,” as noted in the literature. But through several decades of extensive use, scientists have identified these difficulties and have designed careful experimental procedures to avoid them. And modern high-tech mass spectrometers can obtain reliable dates even on microscopic samples. The chance that a single peer-reviewed measurement is off by a factor of millions is slim indeed. But the chance that every one of the these measurements is off by such a huge factor is absolutely zero. Besides, one can determine the rough age of the earth by a very simple calculation. It is a fact that among all known isotopes found on earth that are not themselves products of radioactive decay,everyisotope with a half life less than about 70 million years is absent (evidently because all traces have disappeared during the age of the earth), yeteveryisotope with a half life greater than about 70 million years is present at some detectable level. Since our current technology can detect isotopes with an abundance of roughly one part in a trillion (corresponding to the amount remaining after 40 half lives), this shows that the material from which our earth formed is at least 40 x 70 million (= 2.8 billion) years old. Now please explain to me how you can still blindly believe in the Abrahamic God after such irrefutable evidence. Evolution and theory of natural selection show a progression and the obey the law of probability. There is no evidence for creationism. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

KingEbukaNaija:did you understand my article. If you did you can google the age of the earth on wikipedia to assauge any doubts you might have. The science is not wrong. Quantum physics is actually a thing |
Re: God Is Dead by KingEbukaNaija: 4:23am On Jun 17, 2016 |
captainnigeria: There are quantum physicists who are religious people . If science or quantum physics refutes God then all scientists would have been atheists , but that's not the case . There are more religious scientists worldwide than non-God believers who are scientists . The above alone defeats the terminus ad quem of your thread . Deal with it , a conscious eternal creator - God - exists . |
Re: God Is Dead by donnffd(m): 4:53am On Jun 17, 2016 |
KingEbukaNaija: Noone said Science refutes God, i dont know where you heard that, it completely untrue The percentage of religious scientists is about 7%, but out of that 7% , 83% accepts Evolution, the big bang and the rest of science...which most of you theist believes is a conspiracy by scientists. 1 Like |
Re: God Is Dead by KingEbukaNaija: 5:14am On Jun 17, 2016 |
donnffd: I said worldwide . There are 93 percent of NAS members who are either agnostic or atheistic - that's 2,093 out 2,250 members of the National Academy of Science in the US . Worldwide the religious scientists are preponderant . Actually I read an article that noted that most people in elite organisations hide their belief or choose not to state their religious affiliation , some dont even have any religion - that means out of the 2093 , I'm afraid that there might be a modicum number of real atheists and more of deists . Irreligiousity or having no religion has always been mistaken for atheism or agnosticism . The UK now have the irreligious preponderant , that does not mean they are now atheists , it means they simply have no religion- it does not mean you don't believe in God . The precis of this yarn is that most modern scientists embrace deism - the philosophical position that accepts the existence of God but rejects any evidence especially from religion that proves this single creator . Deists have no religion |
Re: God Is Dead by KingEbukaNaija: 5:28am On Jun 17, 2016 |
donnffd: From my above yarn , you can deduce that some members of the science community are being coerced to accept certain scientific theories so they won't be seen as encumbrances to the progress of these science theories . You should also note that a priest called Georges Lemaitre in 1927 proposed what has turned out to be the prevailing cosmological model - the Big Bang Theory - that somewhat explains the origin of the universe . Scientists who accept Evolution are theistic evolutionists - they believe God did it through Evolution . The Catholic Church has accepted the creation story in the bible as allegorical , so you see the scientists who are Catholics are part of that statistics . And the Catholic church make up more than 50 percent of the number of Christians . The OP tacitly agreed that science refutes God - that explains the title of his thread , "God is dead " |

Re: God Is Dead by KingEbukaNaija: 6:21am On Jun 17, 2016 |
@ Zoharariel What do angels look like?" Answer: Angels are spirit beings (Hebrews 1:14), so they do not have any essential physical form. But angels do have the ability to appear in human form. When angels appeared to humans in the Bible, they resembled normal males. In Genesis 18:1-19, God and two angels appeared as men and actually ate a meal with Abraham. Angels appear as men many times throughout the Bible (Joshua 5:13-14; Mark 16:5), and they never appear in the likeness of women. Other times, angels appeared not as humans, but as something other-worldly, and their appearance was terrifying to those who encountered them. Often, the first words from these angels were “do not be afraid,” because extreme fear was such a common reaction. The keepers of Jesus’ tomb became as dead men when they saw the angel of the Lord (Matthew 28:4). The shepherds in the fields in Luke 2 were “sore afraid” when the angel of the Lord appeared and the glory of the Lord shone around them. As for physical characteristics, angels are sometimes described as winged. The images of cherubim on the ark of the covenant had wings that covered the mercy seat (Exodus 25:20). Isaiah saw winged seraphim in his vision of the throne of heaven, each one having six wings (Isaiah 6:2). Ezekiel, too, saw visions of winged angels. Isaiah 6:1-2 depicts angels having human features—voices, faces and feet. Angel voices are heard singing and praising God in several other passages. The angel at Jesus’ tomb is described as having a brilliant appearance: “His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow” (Matthew 28:3). Whatever appearance angels take on, there is reason to believe they are incredibly beautiful. Ezekiel tells us that Lucifer was “lifted up” in pride over his beauty. In addition, beings such as angels, who are continually in the presence of God, would be expected to have extraordinary beauty because God’s glory is reflected upon all that is around Him.

KingEbukaNaija: U and ur wahala, that's why Africans can never reason or develop, thanks that Bible always say god of Israel, not God of the world,killing other tribe and country for Isreal, definitely he isn't the God of those innocent people he asked Joshua to kill, asked them to kill innocent people including their babies and animals despite their pleading, at the end of the day, his own people still killed Jesus, and besides how many people of so call Israel believe in him today?, wen I checked Israeli flag, I suppose to see cross (like British) or sign that relate to god or jesus, but they use something like Satan sign on their flag ,definitely he is a blind and dead God who can't see the future, he is a false God,he gives excuses for not answering prayer.. can u just read ur Bible clearly and see the errors in there, by the way, who ask u to quote Bible here, please just keep ur mouth shut if u don't have sensible things to say and stop threatened people here 4 Likes 2 Shares |

@ captainnigeria : what is the point of this thread ? |
Re: God Is Dead by donnffd(m): 8:38am On Jun 17, 2016 |
KingEbukaNaija: Thats not true, nobody is coerced to believe anything in science when the evidence is right there and glaring for all who has doubt to see. You should also note that a priest called Georges Lemaitre in 1927 proposed what has turned out to be the prevailing cosmological model - the Big Bang Theory - that somewhat explains the origin of the universe . I couldnt agree more, then why do you or most theists think those theories are conspiracies by scientists to disprove God? The OP tacitly agreed that science refutes God - that explains the title of his thread , "God is dead " I dont know if he specifically mentioned it, but science doesnt refute God, infact science doesnt have the time for God, God is an hypothesis which cant be tested or verifiable, so obviously God has nothing to do in Science |

PastorAIO: Cool talk . In Igbo land , accepting oji as a visitor means coming in peace or you've felt welcomed . They took human forms -a temporary bodily transformation - and it's rational to behave as such . Ignorant jokes are not funny . This is from someone whose philosophical position is the belief that everything is God or divine . Ludicrous is an understatement |

donnffd: You can do your research . I couldnt agree more, then why do you or most theists think those theories are conspiracies by scientists to disprove God? The atheist scientists are culpable for that I dont know if he specifically mentioned it, but science doesnt refute God, infact science doesnt have the time for God, God is an hypothesis which cant be tested or verifiable, so obviously God has nothing to do in Science So that means your view is tentative , more like conjectural , and you have no right whatsoever to claim there is no God .
