DProDG: There have never been anytime in the history of man that 99% of people believed in God. There have always been as many atheists. As a matter of fact, believing in God could've got many a death sentence within that time. There was no other person that paved the way for Isaac Newton "empirically. It was all talks and speculations until Newton emerged. Once inspired by God as he was sitting under an apple tree and an apple fell on his head, that was the beginning of physics. Isaac Newton created physics, and also a branch or mathematics called calculus. Meanwhile, you didn't answer my question. Again, do you think it's a coincidence Isaac Newton believed in God?. |

fitzfrankses7: Personally I don't believe in the supernatural(I think this should have been clear from my previous posts) but I'm open to the idea. In other words, I think everything has a scientific explanation. Because we do not know how something happened, doesn't mean ghosts exists. I've heard a lot of supernatural/paranormal claims and a vast majority have been debunked/proven false and/or understood. I'll admit there are some that remain mysteries...for now Some people believe in ghosts/ogbanje/mamiwater etc because they've had 'encounters'. These are all subjective things and I'll have to experience them myself(I have, some) to believe. Not to mention people aren't always honest and my little knowledge about how the brain functions and how easily it can be manipulated make me acknowledge that what we sometimes percieve as supernatural might be our brain messing with us. If you've had an experience and seek real answers, I'll strongly suggest you ask scientists(or a rationalist/sceptic) rather than a pastor 'fore they can always make things up or even use it as a means of exploitation. Sorry for the bloated explanation but hope it helped 2 Likes |

musicwriter: Lol dude, I'm pretty sure believing in God was the 'it thing' then and getting excuted was for the opposite reason. Maybe not everyone in history have believed in the same god but EVERY medievil civilisation had their own religion. This was before the time of Darwin, just after the crusades, when people probably argued about the shape of the earth as they do with evolution now. So it's nothing unique about a scientist from then believing in God. 1 Like |

KingEbukasBlog: Lol, I was never devout so the reasons I left religion isn't really deep and I'm not ready for a reconversion. Let's just say I'm close-minded to anything outside of science. Religious beliefs just couldn't fit in so I dropped it. You already know my take on the beginning of the bible(creation story). Everything else falls apart from there and that's really bad for a 300+ page book. Read my post on paranomal activities if you wanna know more about my stance. 1 Like |

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” ― Epicurus 2 Likes |

These comments....lol Definitely on team created by intelligent design. The one thing that should be pointed out is the way we, as 3d life forms experience time (linear) is or may not be true in other dimensions. Our understanding of a 'beginning' or 'end' is finite and could all very well be irrelevant in other planes. |

DProDG: For your information, Newton and co scientists in the scientific revolution era were also always challenged by atheist scientists even then. I'm sure you don't know what you're talking about people being killed for not believing in God cause historical facts shows people at that era were being killed for simple things as reading the bible in England!. Please Google the era people were being killed for reading the bible in England or and the Roman empire and other parts of the world. I will end it here since you don't want to answer my question.

Horus: Good observation! Imagine wastage of millions of sperms in order for one to fertilise an egg. Until we are able to understand the reason, and not only the how we came to exist we cannot understand the concept of god. Attributing existence of things to god signifies our mental laziness and frustrations. 2 Likes |

musicwriter: I'm not sure you can name any atheist scientist of that era. Maybe I'm wrong but wouldn't mind being corrected. It's odd you claim most scientists from the past were atheists and currently, most are theists while the reverse is the obvious case(check the links I posted). I know enough about the inquisitions to point out that cathars were the ones killed and by the catholics. Never heard of atheists persecuting theists in medieval times.

macof: Science claimed that the universe came out of nothing about 14 billion yrs ago. There was no space and no time before the Big Bang. So what led to the Big Bang? There may have been a concentrated infinitesimal point of energy, perhaps a previously collapsed black hole, signifying the foreverness of existence. Thus God may have no beginning too. 2 Likes |
Re: Where Was God Coming From Before HE Started Creation? by Solozzo(m): 6:00am On Mar 08, 2015 |
macof: How about the Big Bang? Something must have existed outside space and time that kicked off the expansion and creation of energy, hydrogen , lithium and some beryllium with space and time. Quantum physics adopts some of tge principles that religion talks about. For example existence of energy and particles in two places at the same time; achieve speeds faster than light; come into existence from nothing. The universe appears disorderly but there us a background of order and purpose. The descriptions of gods and spirits are primitive origins of quantum physics. 1 Like |

DProDG:my brother u don't know what u are saying. I am a geographer and let me tell u. God did an impeccable job. He did an absolutely breathtaking and marvelous job on this earth. it will interest u 2 know that what u are calling a waste for example the 9 planets, its a necessity for the existence of earth. they act as a kind of gravitational force holding the earth together and other planets. what do u think will happen. if 4 example one of the 9 planets is blown 2 bits. or the moon is destroyed. do u think it will all be well on earth here, considering the fact u believe God created many "wastes". look @ Antarctica 4 example a place totally covered in ice. do u think that also was unnecessary. now let me tell u. that Antarctica u see regulates the weather and climate of the whole world it is what is keeping the planet cool. are u not seeing the way environmentalist are panicking over global warming? even the volcanoes, deserts, the vast ocean floors are all important. if I should start explaining their importance one by one. I would end up writing a book here on Nairaland. even Ur own shit. has an importance. 1 Like |

DProDG: Our belief that God created the earth for us is a pointing to our narcissism. Nature gave all creatures equal chance through evolution to develop the best qualities to help them survive. For now man is just the new kid on the block ; others have gone. New ones would come when man goes. Man have existed for over two million years ; call him homo erectus, homo habilis, homo ergaster, Homo sapiens, they were all humans. We simply lack the humility to accept them as our ancestors. A poser: did God create man in his image or man created God in our own image? 1 Like |

God created time&space. His own time is the prime reality. and we are not products of evolution. we are created brings to reproduce according to our kind. God cannot be ruled out because we can not see the past and we weren't there. We could be creation of an alien race. but we are dedicatedly not here by chance. evolution requires more faith than religion itself. evolution only sees physical features of life forms but the cells are a different matter entirely. scientifically speaking there is a creator but most don't know who or what it is. I do. He is Jehovah. 1 Like |

Our God is the only God.You can't compare anybody or anything to him.he's the beginning and he's also the end.he's the man of War,the lion of the tribe of Judah.so I pity you if you are trying to investigate him.The man that owns the air that fills your lungs everyday.Maybe when you start paying for the air,then you will know God is not a God u can investigate. |
