KingEbukasBlog:I wasn't referring to the creation story(I'm not interested in theology). You said the theory of evo.. has holes but so far I've tried to address each one you pointed up. You can dig up my post if you want to refute anything I've said before. R2. You obviously don't know why offerings and tithes are offered . Do you pay taxes ?I'm a student and not a multi-million Naira organisation, so no. I'm not necessarily against tithes. How people spend their hard earned money is not my business but I'm 100% against tax evading organisations and scams such as faith healing. 2 Likes |

KingEbukasBlog: Check my last 2 or 3 posts. I've stated I'm not interested in arguing theology and that includes spiritual experiences(at least not on this thread). By pseudoscience, I'm referring to creationism. I'm in no position to analyse your personal experiences but when creationism is brought up as 'science' rather than faith and doctrine, I'm willing to respond. 1 Like |

DProDG: Ill-informed about what ? I'm tired of watching atheistic youtube videos... did that like last year I use my bible , my belief-book ... I quote , I explain , I prove ... I don't need to copy and paste like you guys . I copy the passages from online bible when I can't remember the full quote .You google proof of evolution and but not the proof of its falsehood. You couldn't match me in theology cos you saw I knew a lot more than the christians you've argued before with I do both with a clearly open mind . I've experienced miracles before right there before my eyes , everything changed . I don't need rewatch a dumb youtube video to reassure my faith in God . Get a bible and read in between the lines and study hard to answer the questions that led you to atheism . I had those questions long time , I studied hard and I'm closer to my answers .

Your answer that day was that science will find the answer .Can a baby give any sort of account before its birth .No ! Creation led to science .

KingEbukasBlog: First, evolution is not synonymous with atheism. Second, what your bible tells you is your business. Assuming it's science makes you a laughing stock. Third, as I've said previously, address what is said and not whether it's plagiarized or not. If you think that laymen cannot 'know stuff' and have to copy off the internet, how is that then important? Are we here to come off as smart or to address opposing views? Forth, it should be obvious that I'm not arguing theology because it's subjective and it will be stup1d to argue off faith. Fifth, you keep bringing up you personal experiences as if we're slightly interested. ...Study hard? I cited a few MOOCs and then a couple of YouTube videos which you discredited for...reasons. 1 Like |

Then you switch to abiogenesis, a scientific hypothesis and discredit it for not answering questions regarding the origin of life and then you say religion is not anti-science?

I'm a bible guy and did biology 4-5 years ago but seriously elucidate on 3 and 4 with science relating to evolution |

KingEbukasBlog:Oh, that explains a lot. Learning science from www.answersingenesis.com will get you nowhere. 2.What happened or occurrences before the big bang . Use your imagination , the occurrence was contained in something , the event occured inside something . If you can visualise an empty space during the course of the big bang then you are wrong because it brought about matter , space , timeUhm... that's why we say, we do not know, yet. 3. Emotions - love , hate No one is asking you to be a biologist. If you want to argue against something, you have to have sufficient knowledge about it and be able to defend your assertions confidently. It's that simple. I'm almost begging you now to focus on the emboldened statement. but seriously elucidate on 3 and 4 with science relating to evolution The BB theory only explains and describes the expansion of the universe from a singularity. You're basically bringing up two unrelated subjects, evolution and neurology and classifying them as the same thing. The BB brought about space and time and that's understood by relativity. Emotions and consciousness are under the subject of neurology which I know nothing about. -------------------------------------------------- I'm no expert, neither am I a teacher. I shouldn't have to write paragraphs explaining science related topics in layman's terms. As I said before, if you really wanted to know all these thing, there are online courses that explain them perfectly. Apparently you're not interested in 'atheist science'. |

All I've been saying . Neurology Dude , I just googled it and it has nothing to say about consciousness and the rest My point is whatever features life forms possess is brought about by evolution , according to you(evolutionist) .. so consciousness , emotions etc are part of the evolved man . Why did the force behind evolution feel the need to give man such ... its all some mistake . If no ... explain ... if yes still explain |

DProDG: You see ... you contradict yourself or maybe you aint explaining yourself the right way 1. If science does not provide all answers , then why do you rule out possible unscientific answers/solutions 2. Since not every scientist believes in evolution , that means evolution is not generally accepted and you are wrong by saying 'If science contradicts your doctrines, it's still science' |

Re: I Dont Have Enough Faith To Be An Atheist by Nobody: 3:16am On Mar 20, 2015 |
KingEbukasBlog:By unscientific, I assume you mean faith-based. Anything based on faith is not subject to testing and has no predictive capability. Not to mention it's subjective, meaning people can simply make up what they want to explain things and it will not be falsifiable. Do you not see anything wrong with that? 2. Since not every scientist believes in evolution , that means evolution is not generally accepted and you are wrong by saying 'If science contradicts your doctrines, it's still science'Nope, EVERY science institution accepts it. Personal opinions of a few scientists do not count. What's important is falsifying it's claims which has not been done...yet. I'll dare you to to cite a scientific peer-reviewed paper that refutes any of its claims. |

KingEbukasBlog: Lol... You skipped the "peer-reviewed" part didn't you? And I was referring to evolution but anyway... These are relatively new findings. From what I've read, they are basically equations that describe the impossibility of a singularity, which is no surprise. However this is new, hasn't been fleshed-out and peer-reviewed, you know, scrutinized. A lot of scientists have countered them anyway but it's too early to tell which is right. Not withstanding, one has to do more than refuting the existence of a singularity to 'debunk' the BB theory. You also have to explain the current exponential expansion of the universe, the Cosmic Microwave Background, etc... As for the blackholes, dark matter and energy not existing, pretty much the same case. I do not know how the model explains the gravitational forces in the galaxies and the universe but guess we have to wait and see. It's odd that you cite hypothesizes as fact but yet disregard abiogenesis and even evolution that has been peer-reviewed. Also, isn't an eternal universe contradicting what the bible says regarding there being a 'beginning'? 2 Likes |
Re: I Dont Have Enough Faith To Be An Atheist by KingEbukasBlog(m): 4:11am On Mar 20, 2015 |
DProDG: Lol ... the point why I gave you both is to explain what I meant by generally accepted , and yes they are different theories 'In the beginning' , was when time was introduced before the endless past . Remember sometime I said God exists outside space and time , that is it . The Quantum model predicts that the universe has no beginning , that sounds illogical right ... you sounded ready to accept it but you guys refuted my claims that God has no beginning and end and said I was stu.pid the last argument .. first and second page of it https://www.nairaland.com/2173785/where-god-coming-before-he Lol ... I knew you meant evolution but a house without a good foundation wouldn't stand now , would it ? See man , its tough being a christian but a fairy tale book doesn't predict the end of something and a new beginning .That book is life . I read these things even more than you guys , but I dont show it or bother myself . It just piles up the burden of doing more research bla bla bla |
