@Anas09, this dude was once a moderator on this section, he was sacked after turning out to be a christian terrorist

Young man, let this be the last time you will type hogwash about me without knowing what really happened.. I resigned, i was not sacked. If you repeat this balderdash again, i will take it as an insult to my personality and that won't go lightly on you.
Thank you.

If the absurd big bang theory and evolution theory is really true,it means that your brain is formed from exploding molecules and this is not constant, it changes, then why must you trust your judgement about God that comes from a bunch of unstable atoms glued together by an invisible bond.
This firmly ascertain that atheists are breed of people that are unstable in their thoughts therefore there judgements and presumptions is clouded.

finofaya:
It really is quite dumb. Your confidence in the degree of correspondence between your thoughts and reality has no effect on what reality turns out to be. If there really is no God it makes no difference to that reality that you are unable to say with any degree of certainty that there is, or is no, God. The flimsy argument of the author is that "I am sure of my thoughts, therefore my mind was created for thinking by another mind", which frankly is coterminous with horse sheet.

Interestingly, when we try to make sure that we are not dreaming or under an illusion and attempt to devise checks, we don't check for whether there is a God who gave us minds for thinking. If I asked you OP how you are sure that you're not under the illusion that you have a nairaland account, I can bet that you won't say you know that you are not under an illusion because you have a mind which was made for thinking. We recognise what illusions are, meaning that we recognise that we can't always be sure of our thoughts. We also perform reality checks without having recourse to the issue of who created our minds and for what purpose, meaning that there are ways of certifying your thoughts outside of knowing that it was created for thinking. In a godless world we just might use these.

Other pieces of foolishness in the argument include the assumption that we can only think correctly if our minds were made for thinking, (how am I typing correctly with hands that were designed for grasping?) and that our ability to think is at an acceptable level for a mind whose purpose is to think.

And of course there is the ever present question of how well a God explains the things which we say it explains. Since Mr. Lewis is claiming that we can only be sure of our thoughts if there is an intelligence who gave us minds for thinking, he must be willing to concede that God is not sure of its thoughts (which would explain the fiasco we see in the world). How does a God who is not sure of its thoughts create minds for the purpose of thinking?

How is God not sure of His thoughts because of the fiascos(failure) you see in the world?
The failures in the world is as a result of man's iniquity, God was perfect and supreme in his thoughts to the extent that there's no defect in his creations..
Surprisingly, to show how perfect his thoughts are, he has made a way of escape from the consequence of the failures caused by man, the way is the Lord Jesus Christ.
Come to him today and stop being ignorant.

Most Americans would be unaware that Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting, begins on Thursday. Many would only be casually aware that this is one of the five pillars of Islam, its date changing each year due to the lunar calendar. Faithful adherents fast from dawn to dusk until the month concludes with the Feast of Eid.

Having studied Islam, we were familiar with this expression of piety, but learned much more during the years we lived in a Muslim country—the largest Muslim country in the world, Indonesia. In more observant places, fasting is compulsory, though allowances are made for foreigners and non-Muslims. All do without food, but more devout Muslims refuse to drink water, and some don’t even swallow their saliva.

There is irony,however, in the fact that Muslims probably eat more during the month than at any other time. Women of the house arise in the early morning to prepare an elaborate breakfast to provide nourishment throughout the day. When the call to evening prayer signals the breaking of the fast, everyone hurries home to indulge in what could be described as a Thanksgiving dinner. Not much gets done during Ramadan as offices are open for only a few hours, no one has the strength for much physical labor, and it is easier to endure the denial of food by sleeping through the afternoon.

During Ramadan, we found our Muslim friends were more open to talking about spiritual things. We would ask them about their practice, why they were fasting, and what they hoped to gain by it. It was surprising to them when we shared our own practice of fasting from time to time to seek God. We do not fast to get something from God but out of a desire for God himself that exceeds our desire for food. Wonderfully, God does meet our needs and answer our prayers, but we should not fast presuming by our piety we are obligating God to do something for us.

While most Muslims observe the fast because they are commanded to and believe there is merit to be gained, many do it as a perfunctory obligation. Some want to avoid the condemnation from more pious family members. However, for the devout, the Muslim month of fasting is actually for the same purpose that we as Christians may occasionally fast: the desire to know God in a deeper more intimate relationship.

Fasting during Ramadan is intended to be a time to seek God, and many sincerely do. While recognizing the futility of seeking to please God by one’s own piety and works, we avoided expressing disrespect in conversation with Muslim friends. We shared our common desire to know God. It was an opportunity to bear witness to the futility of our own efforts and how we discovered the unmerited grace of God through Jesus Christ.

Among Muslims, you’ll hear of testimonies from those who had dreams and visions of Jesus appearing to them and saying, “Follow Me.” Others will be impressed to find someone with “the book” that tells the way to eternal life. None of these revelations are sufficient for salvation, but they break down the barriers in their heart and can lead to finding out who Jesus is or knowing what the Bible says.

What does this have to do with us?

When we first arrived in Indonesia we were irritated at the dissonant sound of the call to prayer from the mosque five times a day, especially when it awakened us at 4:30 a.m. But it became a call to us and a reminder to pray for Muslims as they were praying to Allah.

What if Christians fervently prayed during the month of Ramadan that God would reveal himself to Muslims in this time of seeking? What if we covered millions of fasting Muslims with 30 days of intense intercession that something would happen in their spiritual search? Believing in the power of prayer, could we not expect God to respond to our heartfelt burden for the lost millions of the world?

It is tragic that we should be so wrapped up in our self-interests and worldview that we would be indifferent to more than a billion followers of Islam in the world that are dying without Christ, but this month are seeking what only he can provide. We are repulsed by a religion that seems to justify terrorism and suicide bombers committed to the destruction of life, but don’t we realize that Jesus is the answer? Rather than hardening our hearts and dismissing their lostness to the judgment of God as something they deserve, we should plead for their hearts to be open to God revealing himself.

Join me this month in praying for Muslims in our own communities as well as those around the world. Pray that they would truly seek God and be open to revelation that would lead them to the truth. In seeking Allah, an impersonal deity that is aloof and cannot be known, may they find a loving, compassionate God who revealed himself through Jesus Christ and died for their sins.

We have a responsibility to observe Ramadan also, to pray for those who are far from the kingdom and for generations have been locked into the bondage of sin and futile religious traditions.

After all, Christ died for them, too. God loves them. Shouldn’t we?

I work for a commercial bank here in Nigeria and quite a bunch of Funaab graduates work here too.
An average serious minded Funaab graduate should pass through the stages of recruitment of any multinational in this country.
As well, we have good number of the school graduates who are CEO today, and they are making good cash.

Wow,

Can't you guys create a thread to know ourselves better?

Neyoor:
Admonition:
I really don't like the attitude of my fellow Unilorites toward this debate. We were not represented in the 1st edition, last year because no one showed interest. This year, not less than 5 people nominated themselves but none is here to submit his/her entry now apart my own. Truly, we are in exam period but we can still make things happen. I also didn't have the time, I started the writing yesternite out of my tight schedule just to represent my alma mata.

Even the encouragement is not there from our students, though we have a greater percentage on nairaland.

Mr tunery004, do u want to join me and be the 2nd representative for our school or is there anyone out that is interested? It's 2 representatives per Institution. Please let's rep our alma mata.

We are better by far.

Eeyaa!
All is well bruv
I remember last year semi final btw the greatest school, funaab and lasu,
We supposed to have won that debate with a landslide if not that one of our representative was absent but nevertheless we fought till the end. All thanks to damex.
So, look forward to next edition, good luck.

I can't see any sense in all this things you wrote, but the question you include in the topic the answer is your sin and the entire human sin.

Kay17:
Islam is a copycat of Christianity and both suffer the same defect.

They both make impossible metaphysical claims only which uneducated and unsophisticated minds can accept. I suggest both religions be condemned to nothingness.

Okay.. Thanks for the suggestion.

What makes the letter "J" very special is-JESUS
was born in JUDEA which is in JERUSALEM
whose father was JOSEPH the son of JACOB. He
was baptised by JOHN the baptist in the most
popular river JORDAN; which is located at the
wilderness of JUDEA. JAMES and JOHN were his
best disciples, he was also known as the king
of the JEWS. He was sold by JUDAS Iscariot just
for thirty pieces of silver and when he died,
JOSEPH of Arimathea requested for his body
and was buried in JERUSALEM, that's why he is
the God of JUSTICE. Finaly his name is
JEHOVAH JIREH!

Hallelujah
