logica: OK ok. Lemme not laugh. Let me say I didn't understand what you typed up there. You have pictures of the big bang or you have pictures that hypothetically prove the big bang theory. Because it is the former I asked for and not the later. Your 'echo' explanation is as empty as an echo itself. You hear an echo in the universe from your scientific equipment, and you now choose to define it's source. How do you know the echo is not God 's voice, or if that example offends you ; the explosion of some ancient nebulae? Try again bro. Oh and replace anywhere you wrote "proof" with "faith". I' ll leave you to decide whether I read scientific journals or not. |

aaronson: Atheism is self defeating..... Let's just say theists are accurate thinkers! Science is just a belief system which aims to minimize faith but still...... I'm not gonna convince about the supreme being s existence...... The more you grow in knowledge, you will know better |

Nicklaus:You will be surprised how many people do not accept the idea of an all knowing god in Nigeria,the fact we all go through the motions of Religion doesn't mean all are religious,people go to church because it is socially expected and acceptable,not because everyone actually believes ,it's less stressful to appear to be religious in this country,than tell people like you we don't believe.. 4 Likes |

Atheist have one BIG worry in their life, that is, that GOD should stop existing. thats what works them up. if they believe HE does not exist, why does it bother them so much that they are irritated by believers in GOD? 1 Like |

Nipeks:for every event there must be a cause but all these can not continue ad infinitum so there must be a cause that is not preceded by any event and that is the first cause and this first cause his God. Point 2- for motion to take place there must be an initiator who moves other things but there will be an initiator which himself is not being moved and this is called the umoved mover and that is God Therefore I think God exist. God is a perfect Being and the things of this world are all imperfect if God that is a perfect Being is now interested in imperfect things and thus making God to be imperfect and God can not stoop so low to be imperfect. God is a self thinking Being he does not think about you or me either the universe at large,he only thinks about himself. God did not create d universe though he was the one that initiated the cause of the universe and consequently does he have knowledge about this world. If God had had knowledge about this world there wouldn't have been evil. |

5minsmadness:I understand you don't have scientific inclination; because I may be tempted to think you are dimwitted. Yes, there are pictures that prove the Big Bang. And once again, I pointed mentioned that the "echo" explanation was an analogy. If you can't understand that, there is very little I can do to help you. Oh, and on that "choosing to define ...source" comment; if you can at least know what a nebula means, I would expect that you should then be smarter to know that those who study things like that can tell the difference between the explosion of a star or collision of 2 planets, or what ever. The operative term is "signature". I will leave you to marinate on that. |

[quote author=Horlufemi post=31770438] What ever those points you just said. I still stand on this. you cannot get order out of disorder. You can't get DNA (Information) from dis order. It takes a lot of faith to believe that. be rational for once. we don't know how we got here. I still believe in an Intelligent designer than blind chance. You should ask yourself this question. we are all made from atoms in the universe. Yet we observe the universe. How can or why should the universe observe itself. we are not the universe we are part of the universe. We observe just to gain information of the surroundings then respond to adapt. My stand is You cannot rule out God/or some creator/alien and science is just an observatory and application. all working together. Science is fact and it doesn't rule out God no one has ruled out God as he is understood religious wise. The thing is, so far, what is fact is that things living change constantly. Then the idea of creation of first two humans does not explain the existence of many different kind of people/races. Then things like the Noah story were he build a big ship and put all species in it doesnt make much sense if you look at the number of species on earth and try to picture fitting each and every of them in a single ship. That would require one seriously seriously seriously big motha fo. Then it would require serious serious skill to build it and heck of materials and then way way way way way more time to build it than it is said it was built, given the tools and technology of those days. Mind you we are talking of two of each species. Then consider the storage of their food and the food itself. Then consider some creatures eat specific kinds of foods so Noah and the few people he was with had to go around the world to get the feeds, then moving the creatures to the boat. You can imagine their adventure catching the crocodiles, then inserting the fingers up their a--hole to make sure they have a nicca and a b--tch, then moving them to the boat. Then where does the earth get so much water to cover all land on earth within a few days or months of rain? Then, were did all the water drain to when land reappeared, given it had covered ALL land? Such stories are what may make you wonder what else in religion you can give a ----. If God exists, he should atleast have inspired his writters to write something. 2 Likes |

[b][/b] davien: Calm down brother. Let frustration be far removed from your heart. There are more important things in life than hating and 'angrying' about Christians. Peace is quite elusive in this world without adding those. It is only one life and the last I know there are no hate discrimination to those close and near to us all who are answering the transition BUS STOP of DEATH. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. I am sure deep down your heart you are hungry for the truth. Read with me Revelations 20 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. The QUESTION I leave with you is "what if the above is true". Something tell me you used to be a strong Christian or you have been exposed thorough in the truth. Do not live in self-denial. I leave you with Micah 6:6-8 6 Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? 7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? 8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? |

This is very simple.. Theists say God exists, atheists say we dont believe you.. all you need do is prove it ..thats all But it seems its impossible to prove this god.

Phew Well the truth is everyone.is entitled to his/her opinions... but let's face some facts here The sun: has an internal temperature of 200mil degrees celcius and an external temperature of 6000degrees celcius Hence no living creature can get close enuf to study it Yet it is there..how did it get there? The human race as of today has not been able to fully discover the water world...at least half of the water world still remains unresearched...... Stuff we can't explain Look at the human body....it is so complex and well planned that it will be foolhardy to think it just came into existence without planning. The human heart can live for a hundred years yet it is mere "Edo" The brain is the most complex organ in the world..yet it looks like "cheese" Nobody teaches a mother hen that is one of the most timid animals to face a flying hawk when her chicks are threatened A lion or other wild animals to fend for young ones till they are old enuf to fend for themselves How blood is made I could go on....... The closest the human race has gotten to creation is clones Yet clones are not created out of nothing Who created wat was used to create clones? The earth we live in, thousand of meteors bigger in size tan tis planet pass the earth constantly.....one impact will cause total annihilation Yet it doesn't. Even studying soldier ants and their formations without tem aving books or goin to class shows a higher teacher. We all can't explain wat wakes us up in the morning or makes us sleep at night or how the muscles , veins and arteries are all meticulously arranged My conclusion remains that there is sumtin out there that no theory, no bible, no history book, no scientist can fully comprehend or understand....... And since no theory can say what created that sumtin, we should accept that whatever is out there is greater than us all 2 Likes |

Humblebloke: Abi? Everyone is entitled to their opinion regardless of how correct or incorrect they may be. You can't prove spiritual things by arguments. I cant prove to you, my friend, that Jesus is God just by saying it. Its not possible no matter how hard I may try. You need an encounter so that the Holy Spirit Himself will convince you. And I pray you get the encounter sooner than later. Jesus loves You. |
