I've seen no reasonable input since the opening of this thread, so I won't mind contributing. Now as a Muslim, I believe there's a supreme God, Allaah who created man for a purpose as stated in the below verse: “And I did not create the jinn or mankind except to worship Me” {adh-Dhaariyaat (51): 56} So without doubt, man was created by a supreme being which is Allaah(SWT). So Atheists, what is the source of man and other beings like dogs, fish, birds, etc? |

Demmzy15: I don't speak for all atheists. I speak for myself when I tell you the reason for the biodiversity we have took a very long, slow, drudging process taking millions of tiny little steps, some adapting to changes in the environment, others not adapting and perishing.... It's really amazing, when you consider it, because it tells us every animal is interconnected..... It's biology's Grand Unified Theory, if you will It's called Evolution 2 Likes 1 Share |

Once it was 12:00 am, he would behave like someone who was concussed and would start foaming at the mouth and peeing on himself..... It was finally revealed that he had not done his usual sacrifice to Olumba Olumba. |

ifenes: Good question bro!! It actually is a fulfillment of what Jesus said "Because iniquity shall rule, the love of a multitude will grow cold" - Matthew 24:12 In fact Peter the Apostle had predicted the future decadence in Christianity when he said: "But there existed false prophets among the people even as there will exist false teachers among you, who will secretly adopt destructive heresies even denying the Lord who bought them, bringing on themselves, a quick demise. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of them, the way of the truth will be insulted" - 2nd Peter 2:1-2 This is exactly what is happening bro!!! But members of the early church spread their message in a peaceful way yet we Christians today spread our message by the gun and by a sword our doctrines are made known. I personally, do not force my ideas down anyone's throat. But to say there is no God simply because of the faults of His so-called devotees is too extreme for me. I also do not shun science simply because most of its practitioners and or enthusiasts do not believe in an all powerful creator. In fact when one considers facts and non-superstitious faith, they are two sides of the same coin. Homosexuals are just being accepted as part of the society. Christianity on the other hand wasn't forced on people, they were just given a good reason to accept it. But today, it has become a do or die affair. |

Throw an object up, it falls to the earth. Why, they say gravity! Can you see gravity? No Does anyone have the picture of gravity? No As a matter of fact, go to another planet, why is there no gravity there? We dont know. Some people believe there is something called gravity and scientists till today dont know why there is gravity. Unfortunately, these same people who have never even questioned the origin of gravity once will come and try to sound intelligent by saying people should show a photograph of God before they believe that God exists. There is God. Just as there is gravity. You dont have to see them my dear, before you know they exist. The fact that a man doesnt feel God doesnt mean that He is not. "Mathematics is the language with which God wrote the universe" - Galileo Galelei Famous scientists who made awesome discoveries we still rely on today all in one way or the other pointed to God in their exploits. You may think that you are more intelligent than these scientists, but please show us your research and disvovery before you can convince us. Moreover if you say these scientists were foolish, then please stop making use of the things they discovered. Till today, there are videos of supernatural events caught on camera and yes! Those done in the name of God. And I dont just mean religious videos. People who were scientifically certified dead, brought back to life by the power of God. And many other events. Some will try to hide behind the excuse of which god is the real one if you say he exists? But thats another topic entirely. You cant be asking which is the real way when you are even yet to believe there is a way. Well either way, either one u choose to believe. We must believe in what we dont see, wether u like it or not Wind, force, gravity, electrons, atoms, we cant see with our eyes but we believe So also, God I cant see with my eyes but I believe because I feel him. 1 Like |

Re: Peaceful Debate Between Theists And Atheists Holds Here by Scholar8200(m): 4:48pm On Jun 18, 2016 |
ValentineMary:Nice question: 1. In the beginning, God created the Heaven and the Earth, and man; 2. After the flood, man tried to establish a one world govt(Genesis 10:9,10., before the great dispersion); 3. God dispersed man and every body went separate ways each with a version of the error that underlay point 2 4. Others, in trying to ignore God, created idols but it was clear what was involved (eg baal being shaped like a phallus etc) 4b The people in 2 and 4 are the roots of the genealogical tree that has branched into various gods and idols. 5. While various groups followed either the error in 2 or the ones invented in 4, there were some like Enoch, Job, Abraham that still held on to the true God of 1. 6. Of those that did so, God embarked on fulfilling His promise of a Deliverer. And all over the World, there are that recognised and hold on to the Deliverer promised! 7. Since the personality behind the errors of 2 & 4 saw that the promises he tried to prostitute were being fulfilled, he embarked on an underhanded upgrade of the lies he sold to man. For example, at the time of Genesis 11/12, the best he could steal was that somebody was the woman whose Seed will destroy the serpent. After Christ, they quickly upgraded their stories to anachronistically include parts of the life of Jesus which they did not have before. (This is why they tried to infiltrate the Church in the early years, books like the Gospel of Barnabas is a similar effort along this line) Now, if there was no God, and you claim man invented God (the One in point 1)? Then what template informed their decision? Why would they invent idols and to achieve what purpose or with which model in mind? And why do we have disparities in commands if man invented the God concept? If evolution populated the world, whence the diversity in language? For example animals, lions do not roar in Africa but grunt in India? Goats do not grunt in Nigeria but miaow in China? If like someone said, it was biodiversity that took very slow steps, okay, why did it leave the animals behind and single out man? 2 Likes |

hturb: You have put forth the argument for deism. What you have yet to address is the existence of Yahweh as this creator in question. Even if an open minded person is willing to concedea deliberate design by an unknown source, you must still show them why the source is Yahweh. You are tasked with providing proof that Yahweh exists. Everyone already knows that the universe had a beginning and may choose to interpret that information according to his own discretion. You must show me why the beginning was in fact the resurrected Jew from Palestine called Jesus. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Sometimes I just laugh. So, that a book is ancient, Does that mean it is useless? Ok o, what about things like the art of male circumcision that was first recorded from the bible and its still practised today even in modern medicine. Why dont we do away with the so called all ancient things? Or someone will soon tell us that we are born with circumcision now. That it wasnt first sited from the bible. 1 Like |

johnydon22: It is scientifically proven that we live in a universe of cause and effects(because the universe is not without the dimension of time) so the universe cannot be eternal. But without the dimension of time there will be no cause and effect. Therefore God has not need of being created but created time(see my initial post below) dimension so that cause and effect would exist for us. However, God created time, cause and effect would never apply to his existence. So, God is eternal and the universe is clearly not rawgame: CC: SirWere Weah96 Desepiero dblackninja 2 Likes 1 Share |
