We atheists of the scientific bend have always argued that life , no matter how unique, no matter how simple or complex, is , at the most basic level, a chemical reaction or a long series of chemical reactions.

On the other side of the divide, the theists have always insisted that no matter how you combine chemicals, you can never get the breath of life because life, they insist, is a spiritual essence unconnected to chemical reactions. They claim that the breath of life is the special prerogative of the omni omni God.


The mystery of the origins of life in the universe is one that has defied simple scientific explanations.

But undeterred, science has, typical of its very nature, continued to ask and search , starting from positions of uncertainty to ever increasing positions of certainty.

Now, a new breakthrough is threatening to confirm the position that we have always held; that when the right chemical and environmental threshold is attained, anything is possible, including life.

Do you realize the absurdity of the conundrum that article presents? The topic says "scientist create tiniest life form yet not sure what it is"
How do you know its a life form when you aren't sure of what it is, that is to say you actually want to convince people of something you aren't sure of, that fails like 100% of the time

No, what you have just expressed is your complete lack of education regarding what evolution actually involves. It isn't magic. No scientist is claiming that random animals will grow tails, or that plants will transform into fishes. This caricatured version of "evolution" is crap peddled amongst the religious to keep them justified in their conviction that evolution must be wrong because it contradicts the biblical account of creation and is thus a threat to their religious beliefs. This false view of "evolution" is based on collective ignorance and nothing more.

Real evolution, is the gradual process of change in the genetic material of organisms over time. This change is guided by the environment - traits that cause creatures an increased chance of survival in their particular environment and biological niche, are maintained in the gene pool and carried on to successive generations. Traits that decrease a creature's chance of survival & reproductive success, die out along with the organisms that possess them.

As the environment changes, which it constantly is, and events such as genetic bottlenecking and population isolation take place, the beneficial traits for a particular population of organisms changes, thus new genes are survived, and different ones die out. It is easy to see how over millions of years, this can result in all manner of different organisms, diverging from common ancestors yet possessing very different features due to the selection pressures they have faced over time.

this is the problem with you evolutionist what you people termed micro evolution is simply Variation among species it happens and its true but you guys have used nomenclature as a deceptive tool there because when someone accepts it you guys will then come in and "say consider this phenomenon over a billion years only then will a chicken come from a banana" Typical evolution logic
For example its scientific truth that over a period of time cockroaches may become immune to a pesticide but that doesn't mean it evolved. It wont reproduce a dog or an elephant simply because it does not possess the genetic information of a mammal in its DNA let alone a dog hence even if that cockroach were to exist for a billion years it will still produce a cockroach albeit with perhaps an added/lost adaptability trait but it will still be a cockroach that's how the Designer God made it.
Well in your last statement there is nothing easy to see there unless the common ancestor is still of thesame kind even the bible tells us that. Because an ancestor of a dog is still a dog be it a Chihuahua or a wolf, the ancestor of a dog was never a plant.
Evolution is a religion don't try to pass it off as science

Grass Seeds not grass. we are importing it just like malaysia imported our oil palm and have since surpassed us in production.

listen to yourself so Malaysia imported oil palm so Nigeria imports grass seeds so they can have more grass and perhaps even be a major exporter of grass right?

Common sense alone tells you evolution is false? So what does common sense tell you? That the whole expanse of the universe was created by a white bearded Jewish man, using Jewish words, pronouncing all living things into being, but deciding to create man from clay? Common sense indeed, maybe common sense of second millennium BC mesopotamia.

Who says evolution and extinction means the same thing? Since it is accepted that over 95% of all animals that have ever existed on the planet are extinct, how then do you expect to draw the evolutionary tree of life from the beginning without extinct animals dominating?


This your statement above actually verifies evolution. First 95% of fossils are aquatic animals because fossilization process favours aquatic or marine creatures. For animals to be fossilized, it has to be covered up with mud or clay immediately after death, else the soft tissues of the animal would quickly decompose, eaten by other predators or simply disintegrate. Land creatures stand very little chance of being fossilized. Secondly and most importantly, marine creatures were on earth for billions of years before ever venturing onto land. According to modern evolutionary theory life started on earth in the primordial oceans or lakes some 4 billion years ago, but life only ventured on land about 500 million years ago, so it is logical to expect far more marine fossils than terrestrial fossils.

You arguments is now about dignity? Now what is dignifying about being created solely to be an amusement object of a Jewish God (in shape of a white bearded Jewish man), sitting on a throne high up rewarding or punishing according to this whims and caprices. Is it not more dignifying to see yourself as part and parcel of an evolving universe?

Firstly the fossil record the evolutionists so cling on to is only a record of extinct animals and nothing more. It only tells us that such an animal existed and it died, there has been no proof whatsoever of evolutionary transition.
Here is what your mentor charles darwin said in his book "the origin of species" "if my theory be true, numberless intermediate varieties... must assuredly have existed" and yet there's no fossil evidence to proof these intermediary
stages or varieties
Here's another of his quotes "its a truly wonderful fact... That all animals and all plants throughout all TIME and SPACE should be related to each other..." In otherwards plants and animals all have a common ancestor, and yet all we ve ever known is that plant reproduces plant and animals reproduces animals or better still a cat will always reproduce a cat no matter what. I mean a mango and an eagle is related? Common! What happened to our own time?
Secondly, am happy you mentioned that life started on earth some 4billion years ago; here is the summary of how life came into existence according to evolution theory
"20 billion years ago there was a big bang in which nothing exploded and produced everything, 4.6 billion years ago the earth cooled down and it rained on the rocks turning it into soup then the soup came alive, then there's this one macro-molecule had something to eat found another to marry and evolved into all we see today."
Basically you believe that you and all life forms came from a ROCK the funniest thing about that is you and all evolutionists are trying to pass it up as science.
And here you are talking about God in the most defaming way possible. May He have mercy on you and grant you a change of heart.

Walahi I forgot that general bubu was our petroleum minister. Bubu was too busy being a bad president that I forgot he was the worst petroleum minister, poor Kachikwu he is gonna be the fall guy in this matter too bad because unlike Bubu and apc he does not not have his own zombies to defend him. He should hv demanded for that though #zombieallowance

The Fight broke out between senator abaribe and a northern senator, when the northern senator requested for an islamic state for boko haram but was countered by senator ekweremmadu that if an islamic state is created for boko haram then biafra deserves to created .the northern senator reacted by throwing bottle water at ekweremmadu. but he was quickly sized up by senator abaribe who slapped and pinned him to the ground before other senators to came to Separate the fight .

"A fight against boko haram is a fight against the north"...Buhari
What do you expect from them before, meanawhile fulani herdsmen are their tool for the islamization of nigeria Emir of Enugu and Benue coming soon

The truth about this boko haram is yet to be revealed and what a revelation it will be.
General Bubu said boko haram have been technically defeated yet he enrolled nigeria into some islamic coalition to fight this technically defeated group.
The army keep releasing news or should I say propaganda about how they killed 10 kajillion boko haram members and released a further 100 kajillion hostages and yet boko haram are still killing scores of people
Or is it the statement by General Bubu that "an attack on boko haram is an attack on the north" How do you expect a dude who said that to be sincere in the war against insurgency in the NE
Anyway one day breeze go blow and fowl nyash go open

3. Dubious meeting with UN in June of last year.

4. AU invited them to Ethiopia.

5. Cameron, Obama, Hollande and Putin warned PMB over a war mongering lunatic.

When will you stop deceiving your own people?

Hehe! dem deceive you? Dey your lane na match go soon start. Hope say you go follow general Bubu go relegation when season end no change team o!

What do you mean after eons? Homo Sapiens have just recently arrived on the evolutionary tree some 200,000 years ago. 200,000 years is too short a time to evolve into a completely new specie. Why would a human need a tail? We do not live in trees or need it for stability while running. In fact a tail would be detrimental to our survival.

Common sense alone tells you that evolution is false. Go back and study the evolution account it is highly incompatible with the fossil record besides extinction and evolution are two different things.
Now look at this 95% of animal fossils are aquatic invertebrates and even the vertebrates discovered were mainly fishes and aquatic creatures, of the terrestrial life forms a whooping 98%(approx) are plants so what you are telling me is that as complex and numerous as the animal life forms that exist today are they evolved from a meager 2%(approx). This hilarious! I don't know about you but I think there is more dignity in being created by a supreme being who is perfect and Almighty than having to think I evolved from some amoeba. Its all common sense

cloudgoddess:
I'm curious about how people who reject evolution would explain the more specific observations in nature that seem to support an evolutionary model. For example:

1. Why are the DNA sequences between species like, say, the chimpanzee and the human, or the bird and the dinosaur, so similar, if those organisms are not related? Wouldn't you expect to see completely random and dissimilar DNA sequences between all species if they shared no genetic relationship?

2. Why are simpler life forms consistently found in lower rock layers than their theorized present-day evolutionary descendents? Shouldn't we find all life forms mixed in all rock layers, if new species did not arise over time?

3. Why do human fetuses grow a layer of fur during development, which sheds later on before birth? And why does this fur grow at the same point in development as Chimpanzee fetuses do? If there were no relationship between us, wouldn't we expect human fetuses to lack such a thing?

4. In the same vein, why do the fetuses of all members of the Chordata phylum all look so similar?

5. Why are there organisms like flesh-eating bacteria, and parasitic, eye-burrowing worms that hurt humans? If such harmful and disease-causing organisms did not arise out of evolutionary adaptation, then why would they be created?

I am genuinely curious about how one would explain these phenomena in a non-evolutionary framework.

if evolution were true how come after eons human beings, animals and plants as we know it have failed to evolve into something different. Since you believe in evolution its safe to assume you have a protruding tail or something out of the ordinary. Please don't be deceived

Another apc heartbreak loading in Edo. Nobody want change again Imo state una dey see una life?

Fayose is the only true governor in nigeria the remaining are either hypocrites, zombies or peanut_seeking_eyeservice_selfish_worms. Fayose God dey your side as long as you are on the side of truth

the fulani herdsmen are terrorists, the reason why they are not treated as such is beyond logic. How can you kill people for fun and rather than getting punished for it we are talking about negotiations. Buhari has not even condemned the acts of these guys like he should of course why would he they are his relations and family members from daura carrying out the plan of islamizing nigeria. Perhaps tomorrow we will be hearing emir of benue

The zoo have laws guiding it, and those laws are adhered to by all and sundry. Today Nigeria is worse than a zoo

sonOfLucifer:

Really. So why do I have to believe? If you pay for my rent, I don't need to 'believe' you did, in order to enjoy the facilities. Why can't I pay for my sin? Where did this imaginary debt come from?


Please, since you claim to communicate him, tell him that if it is repentance that he wants, he should come and die on another cross for me to see.

You demand a sign? Here's what the bible says
Mt 12:39-40 "But Jesus replied, only an evil, adulterous
generation would demand a miraculous sign; but the only
sign I will give them is the sign of the prophet Jonah 40-For
as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish for three days and
three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the
earth for three days and three nights."
Keep waiting for Him to come and die again so u can believe goodluck with that.
In Heb 11:6 we are told "But without faith its impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him"
Hence without faith the word of God will obviously be foolishness to you especially given the fact that you want to interpret the Word with human mind and logic.
Luke 20:29 "...Blessed are those who believe without seeing me"

damn. I thought Jesus already paid for my sins.

He did but you didn't believe in Him thereby rejecting Him so you have yourself to blame for that unless you turn back to Him in repentance

Nothing confuse me more than bible,

that's why we always pray before study, its not a book you read and understand with a mortal mind. Again using several translations also helps

sonOfLucifer:

You mean the Holy Spirit wrote the Bible with pen and paper?

Psalm 81:11-13
"But My people did not listen to My voice, And Israel did not
obey Me. "So I gave them over to the stubbornness of their
heart, To walk in their own devices. "Oh that My people
would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!

Isaiah 8:6
"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones
those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather
your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks
under her wings, and you were unwilling.

Jeremiah 8:8-9
"How can you say, 'We are wise, And the law of the LORD is
with us'? But behold, the lying pen of the scribes Has made it
into a lie. "The wise men are put to shame, They are
dismayed and caught; Behold, they have rejected the word
of the LORD, And what kind of wisdom do they have?

Jeremiah 6:10
To whom shall I speak and give warning That they may hear?
Behold, their ears are closed And they cannot listen Behold,
the word of the LORD has become a reproach to them; They
have no delight in it.

Zechariah 7:12
"They made their hearts like flint so that they could not hear
the law and the words which the LORD of hosts had sent by
His Spirit through the former prophets; therefore great
wrath came from the LORD of hosts."

You have purposely rejected the word of God as well as God Himself and you have yourself alone to blame. Here's a news flash for you this life is per head and you are not doing anyone a favor by serving God neither are you doing God a favor by serving Him so you need to work on that aspect of your mentality.

iporks are sick and deranged people who will support terrorism and murder if it makes PMB look bad. Sympathizing with fellow humans in times of distress remains a very sane thing to do. If PMB had kept quiet deranged imbeci1s iporks will say he supports terrorism but unfortunately for these never do wells PMB presidency is not about their errant stewpidity but to what is right. It is right that and humane what he twitted no amount of ipork cannibalistic wailing will remove that.

Now we know those who support terrorism those who jubilate that bh is winning those who thrive on death and destruction. Those unfortunate individuals are the ipork and wailing zombies they are demented souls in need of treatment.
Wailing zombies stay clear.

Different books in the book written by different authors living in different times. That accounts for most of the discrepancies in the Bible.

there is only one author of the bible and that's the Holy Spirit. Looking at ur moniker I don't think I have anything to explain to you though cos its obvious you know the truth but have chosen to serve the devil. I pray God will have mercy on you and show you the way

if any xtian can tell me d verse n chapter in d bible where Jesus said " accept me as your personal lord n savior" , ( 2)d church dat Jesus went , and( 3)d xtian mode of worship as stipulated in d bible den I will join xtianity ryt away

the answer u need is in John 14:6 "Jesus told him, I am the way the truth and the life. No one can come to the father except through me".
You want a verse/chapter with exactly those words, you won't get it and I stand to tell you what Christ told the Pharisees in
Mt 12:39-40 "But Jesus replied, only an evil, adulterous generation would demand a miraculous sign; but the only sign I will give them is the sign of the prophet Jonah 40-For as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish for three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights."
Serving God is for your own good Exodus 23:25-26. Don't make it look like you re doing God a favor cos you are not. And if truly you desire to serve God, then you need to believe in Him first and have faith in Him
Heb 11:6 "And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that God exists and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him".

Kujo:
can someone please explain what the bible is trying to say in the book of mathew 5 vs 25

New International Version
"Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.

King James Bible
Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

How does this verse encourage bribe please be wise and don't twist the word of God.
Exodus 23:8- "take no bribes, for for a bribe makes you ignore something that you clearly see. A bribe makes even a righteous person twist the truth" that's what the bible says about bribe
