THAT WILL STIFFLE FREE SPEECH, Joshua 24:15
King James Version (KJV)
15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Let me also use this opportunity to introduce myself,my name is Chuka,i have been inactive since signing up on NL until 2weeks ago or so.

I must admit I was so drawn to God after reading posts from people like Logicboy03,Macdaddy,with all their barrage against God...I was vexed in my spirit at the utter misrepresentation of facts and hence I became active.

Funny how atheists made me love God more,so all thanks to my atheists friends,the more I think about God the more I marvel at His awesomeness.

Also big ups to Davidlan,JeSoul,Enigma,Ihediobi,you all are doing great things here on NL.

And the resounding silence!!! It has lasted for 4months now

I am not bothered by what you FOOLISHLY and BLINDLY wish to believe, what bothers me is the false representation of science and the mis interpretation of the meaning of hypothesis, theory and laws as you have done here.

I am appalled that a so-called qualified electrical engineer cannot differentiate between an hypothesis, theory and law in science and equate a well established theory to an hypothesis. Anyway i should not be surprised, nigerian universities are known for producing world renown pastors than world renown scientists.

In science there is nothing like absolute truth or absolute proofs, what you have is explanations that best describes AVAILABLE DATA and observation, an hypothesis is propounded to best explain the observation, the hypothesis is then tested again and again by other experts in the field and if it satisfied the peer review mechanism it is accepted as theory, it can be further described as a law if the theory can be explained in very simple terms or mathematical models. (gosh! We learnt this in form 3 basic science)
In science there is often very little difference between a law and a theory. And because a theory is described as a law does not mean it cannot be discarded once it fails to predict observed data. A vary good example are newton's laws which is discarded under relativistic conditions.

Furthermore, because we still call the germ theory, a theory does not make it false or suspect and so resort back to spirits as being the cause of leprosy.

The theory of evolution is a well established and accepted theory of science. It has stood for over 150 years, it is been confirmed by other fields of science like molecular biology, genetics, paleontology and other related fields. If you have an alternative theory or links to an alternative theory on the origin and diversity of species on earth, then lets have it.

The beginning of life, which is how inorganic elements and compounds formed the first organic compound is not included in the theory of evolution, it is a different field called abiogenesis, and there are a few hypothesis out there with the predominant one being the "the organic soup" hypothesis.

So i view it as harakiri for a "scientist" to say that because something is described as a scientific theory and not a law makes it inconclusive and unacceptable.

Nice try!!!! personal attacks follow the thread .

Arsenate: Some people are truly retarded. Why insult an entire ethnic group just because Keshi resigns? Seriously that's just sick and it doesn't make any sense at all.

I am Ibo and it is appalling to assume insult an entire ethnic group, even though most Nigerians called for Keshi's head including Ibos.

Good move!!! Remember always resign like a boss

Joeiordye: Me think the question should be 'how to get hard to get women?'. I've been chasing this particular one for roughly one year two months now. Even d phone i used to complain that she speaks on as if she doesn't want to talk, she no longer pick @ all. It seems my numerous love text messages even make things worse. I even got angry and stopped chasing but after a month, i had to look for her, giving excuses she didn't even care about. From the start, i could have swore she loves me. If i knew it would come to this, i would never have started, but now i'm in and it's difficult for me to retreat.

ehyaaaaaaa

Ogbeni, you have in your own words destroyed your arguments. You have once and for all stated why religion is absolute nansense. You say religion is blind, i say science sees! You say Science is inconclusive, i say Religion is a non-starter.

In no other area of an average sane man's life does he display the idiocy he reserves for religion. If you live your life blind like so, u no no say u go don fall for ditch since?!

You dey walk blind with religion, science say make e gif u lyt for way, u refuse - what sensible man does that, refuse much needed help?

Abeg, go throway that religion into the dark ages wey e belong and begin to enjoy the full freedom of enlightenment!

Kapisch?

I have said it a thousand times, do not hide under science.....Evolution — meaning that such diverse creatures as whales, worms, hummingbirds, hadrosaurs, platypuses and presidents have evolved from the same first life-form — is a belief system. It certainly has not been proved to be a scientific fact.

DC-ONE:
@fellis you nor get work,you just come to nairaland to argue so that you would be praised,why dont you go out there and carry a ply card and protest and see if anybody would send you.
....you cant change anything,had it been God want the woman to be the head he would have created the woman first....(i sorry for the man wey go marry you)

And for@Chukkywob i guess you have used your aguement against men to woo @fellis and she has fallen for you....why dont you guys get together and marry each other...lets see who will bear who's surename....laugh haha loool........
I guess cukkywob name would be Chukkywob Fellis...looool.....

Hahahahahaha, Another unintelligent assumption!

fellis:
I understand. It is not easy to go against that culture in the society we live in. If we were in a Muslim country where women don't bear their husbands' names then you would be regarded as the odd one for having a wife that bears your name.

Exactly cultural differences, but I sure do reject any part of my culture that inhibits the rights of other people.

fellis:
This was very nice to read. It is a good thing that you have respect for women, Africa needs more men like you. Don't let anyone berate you for respecting women.
So why would you prefer her to bear your name?

Frankly speaking because its the norm.

aramstoks:

God punish you...where the whole country is celebrating, you are bringing up this tribalistic bs..

We are such an angry nation,could you have scolded him without personal attacks?

Don't worry about them they are celebrities,they can sort themselves out.

How far u? U don chop? Make I go hustle Akara and bread first later!!!

Lol,Musiwa please your command of english language is poor. Its not an insult on your person,

Hummingbird: guys can be so callous...dey are xo @less..I jst got ma test result...m in ma sixth week..I undastnd wat ur friend must be going tru cos m going tru hell hia ryt nw

And what survey did carry out that helped you reach this premise?

grim and evil: poster i no get time to advice u, since u don do 3 abirtions. i pray u marry ur type. u dont deserve a good man.

Has this increased your self-esteem? I bet its still low,don't presume you know what it is to walk in someone's shoes

Hummingbird: @mmm,on a more serious note..its not about val..he stays in the north..am here in the west..we had plans to make it official next year..so the sudden 'loss of feeling' baffles me

I can only imagine how you might be feeling!!! But seriously life goes on,don't beg,don't plead as you'll only damage your self esteem. Move on and rebuild life goes on

mobuch:

Biafran players did it again, congrats to biafra, shame on nigeria.

I am Ibo, but please don't agitate your fellow countrymen,this is a victory for all Nigerians.
The idea potrayed in this post is very disturbing,insensitive and insulting to a lot of people to say the least

A-40:
Hahahaha Guilty as charged tho I never said Keshi was wrong for dropping Osaze. I said Osaze had the right to express his feelings

Lol bro,we all want what's best for our country

ooman: Well, you are getting the verse wrong. It doesnt say i have to believe first but be pure in heart and i think i am pure enough. I have not suicide bombed anybody and i dont collect tithes and offerings in exchange for repeating what the bible says. Just joking.
Being religious is not synonymous with being moral. People n Govt are all religious but criminals. I think i am pure enough, if God really loves me, he'll show himself to me.

I sometimes understand your zeal to make Nigeria better but hanging it on Christianity,is a lazy man's way out.
Come out from behind your computer screen let's fight corruption in Nigeria,I don't care about your religous or non-religious affiliations,but please refrain from name calling you'll never get the best of people by insulting them.

ooman:

You seem not to understand your religion. Have you forgotten "Go ye therefore and make disciples of all nations" Mat 28 v 19. It is your duty to want me to believe in God, if you understand that.

Dont try to dodge if you dont have any prove. Just shut up as i have already said.

Ooman my good friend,I think you are taking things too personal. My two cents though. You just call out people to argue.lol!!!

Aristide Bancé (born on 19 September 1984) is a
Burkinabé footballer (striker) who currently plays for FC
Augsburg.

Aristide Bance is clearly not an attaractive young man,yes!! But he served his country well in the recent AFCON with passion, does that give people the right to call him all sorts of unprintable names? What have you done for your country?

Please we can do better than this,we have seen that truly racism knows no colour!!!!!!

Morayo747: Ok I pray you marry a mumuish man that will change his last name to yours!! This is the dumbest thing I've heard in ages for real.

She is not for or against name changing, she is just saying its her right to choose. Please refrain from name calling and personal attacks whilst arguing.STICK TO THE POINT.

kulyie: i am telling you.when you see an intelligent lady,its not difficult to notice.intelligent ladies make me happy and impressed as opposed to a subservient,bimbo like and yes sir woman.obviously the dudes here have no substance to back their arguements hence resort to personality attacks (typical of them anyway) any woman who is opposed to their school of thought or opposed to following their stewpeed sterotype is quickly labelled a feminist,victim of heart break or frustrated woman.i am not suprised though.keep it up fellis.your arguements hold weight.dont let any man allow his superiority or inferiority complex make you who you are not meant to be.thumbs up girl.and for the records any man here or wherever on nairaland is free to call me a feminist or whatever,so be it.i really like and respect women like fellis

Even though we are on the same side of the argument,you are guilty of fallacy of hasty generalization, better to say some dudes or most dudes as I clearly oppose men shoving the foot down the female folks' throats. A note for the men that believe women are foot stools,It is appalling,if you can't handle an intelligent lady marry a dumb one and continue breeding unintelligent linages. That a girl can think for herself doesn't make her 'a loose girl,or a disrespectful girl'. Marriage is not slavery or a power struggle.

anonymoux: @ fellis,

No need to fight, and for the record, let me answer your question directly,
Yes, men are so superior to women and that is a fact. Apart from the fact that men are stronger,
smarter, faster, and even bigger.
men have also been blessed by God and his son and only child himself. So it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks...


The fact that God is a male and that he has only one child and that child is also a male, is enough reason that male will forever rule....

No fighting... By the way, look everywhere around you.... Even the men are generally more accepted even by your fellow female folk that they(female) accept themselves...

Nevertheless, I think women on the other hand are catching up...

Please do not use the name of the Lord IN VAIN because this is a vain argument. And don't you find it absurd or even insulting that you say God is male? And for heavens sake don't try to fit God into earthly standards

Midastorch:

That girl is not worth the arguement brov.you don't need to knw some people before you knw the kinda family they cm frm.A family where the Mum competes with the dad.even tells the dad to shutup and he does.

Fallacy of hasty generalization, because she is advocating for more respect for women,you have inadvertently concluded that is she is direpectful and have even gone as far as insulting her mother. Classic the african male,why can't you argue without insulting people?

fellis: I didn't see this post before. Let me address it

So women have not been blessed by God or what are you trying to say?
Men are in general, stronger than women but they are not smarter and unless they are athletic, they are not faster. Men and women have the same amounts of intelligence. Men are not smarter than women, that is a lie, and Intelligence is not determined by sex.
I don't understand how you would even think this way.
Let me personalize for you since you people only truly realize how absurd your comments are when you are personally involved.
Did you watch the ALUU4 video? Did you see those animalistic men brutally murdering those boys? What you are saying in essence is that those men are superior to your mother and sisters and even daughter, (if you have any) because they are bigger and stronger than them.
You are also saying that those rapists that murdered Cynthia sometime ago are superior to your mother and sisters because they are men and your female relatives are women.
There is also the mad man in the insane asylum. Is he also superior to your female relatives because he is male?
What about the male politicians that loot and pillage and rob the poor in the country. Are they superior to the women who work hard to make a living, who try their best to give their children an education and raise them to be morally upright? Are the theiving politicians better than these women simply because they are male?
Think about it.

Most Nigerian men are so deeply affect by inferiority complex that they find it difficult to believe that there are women that are actually smarter than they are,and we wonder why violence against women is the norm in our country?.Ego issues Shaking My Head. I am male too and yes I respect women a lot .

anonymoux: Secondly, it is very natural to call the man the head of the family
basically, because he provides and cares for the family(at least in most cases)
And on a second, note I believe the change of name is a first sign of commitment
of the wife to the husband....

God is great! And I can relate this commitment issue to the instinct God and his only son gave some animals
like lions.... When a prey is killed, the stronger lion/lioness eats first before the weaker.

This is necessary, if the pride must survive. Because the strong do most of the hunting.
Imagine a case where the weaker eats up all the food before the stronger, I guess there will be no food
left for the stronger lions to feed on before their next hunting which means they will fail and failure means death to the pride.

In same light, men and stronger than women. So the woman has to by fire by force lay low for the man if the home must stand. Two drivers cannot drive a car. You simply give the driving to the best and make the second to best an assistance. It is for the benefit of all....

But if you say women are strong than men or that they are equal, then you are not saying the truth,
nevertheless, should in case that is your believe, i guess a cage fight for you and I will judge

You are a male chauvinist,they are a lot of women smarter than a lot of men and vice versa. This is the problem with us Africans,treat women like rags. Are you more intelligent than Dr.Mrs Okonjo Iweala?

DC-ONE:
@fellis...i just have one or two questions for you...
1.Who was created first on earth Is it a woman or a man ?
2.Check your Bible was a man created from a woman or a woman created from a man.
3.Is your mother using your fathers name...or your father using your mothers name.....PLS ANSWER ME OOH IM WAITING FOR YOU REPLY.

Frankly this why atheists attack we christians, first of all Kim K has the right to bear whatever name she deems fit. The african and the 'I am the man' mentality. Kanye also has the right to leave her if he chooses to,if he doesn't like the last name. Personally I would love my wife to bear my last name,if not I'm not interested,but that is my PERSONAL OPINION,its not law
