KingEbukasBlog: So God is an uncaused complex entity that do not need a designer but the universe a product of an even more complex entity requires a designer. Thats special pleading.. Much as we know of the universe, we have seen values interacting to produce a result, chaotic events and reactions leading to new results. . . We have no clue what exactly design entails in this case..
I have no idea, i do not know neither will i claim to know. [b][i] From reactions of simpler values we get more complex results... 2 Likes 2 Shares |

johnydon22: Don't mind him. He is trying to spark his nonsensical argument with me. Am old enough to belittle my intellect to his level. This is the sort of people forming jesus son but can't bear a slap let alone allowing another slap to the other side of the face. |

johnydon22: The point you are trying to shift is that, prior to this singularity, there was nothing. How does the singularity magically appear? johnydon22: Atheists tend to choice it for explaining origin of our universe thereby ruling out existence of God and clamping down Goddidit theory. johnydon22: Good question. I personally embrace the Yoruba spirituality view of the universe. We see Eleduamare as the creator of the universe |

johnydon22: It could be fun when I know someone is on the floor grasping for breathe when God fellas were hitting him hard. I should have changed my channel to WWE. All the same it was a debate and I took side with the heavyweightier. johnydon22: Yes. Knowledge is limited and we can speak within the frame of our own knowledge. Making a claim on finite brain measuring infinite cause will only lead to fallacy like we have around here. This will always make me follow Yoruba spirituality. They dont know it and silent on it. |

ValentineMary: I have shown you highly educated peeps who have demonstrated how Big Bang is contradicted by observations. The problem Witt you is that you are hopelessly wedded to a paradigm hat you take if for fact and react violently to discordant views. Redshift or blueshift is an observation. It is the interpretations thereof that are affected by your EXISTING presumption. In short, these observations don't prove Big Bang. This is complex stuff and I will try and share a simplified account; http://aoi.com.au/bcw/RIPExpanding/ 1 Like |

johnydon22: Random events , chaotic events . So is there a possibility that I can pour a bucket of paint on the wall and it could bring forth a painting of a man sitting on a horse with a horn in his left hand and a spoon on his right hand with his wife and his kid sucking her bossoms ? I have no idea, i do not know neither will i claim to know. So this means that there is a 100 percent factual certainty that a creator caused or is the cause of our universe ? From reactions of simpler values we get more complex results... 1.So which scientific evidence do you wish to present that a single cell brought forth billions of life forms which have the propensity to continue or perpetuate their existence ? 2. What scientific evidence do you wish to present that simplest forms of matter - atoms , protons and electrons - brought forth heavenly bodies , gases and every other content of the universe ? |

FOLYKAZE: Nope not at all.. there have been many cosmological models to explain that which of course are all hypothetical and so must be treated as one. -Quantum fluctuation -Energy as an internal value (Energy and matter are relative) -Multiverse etc... But that part takes you into the field of quantum mechanics. . . .
But last i checked you are an atheist too and am sure you do not buy the big bang theory or have studied much about it. There is no relationship between the big bang and atheism.. Many Atheists as well as Theists agree with the theory. If you apply the big bang to atheism because some atheist adopt the theory then you can also term it a theistic theory because some theists also adopts it. In fact a catholic priest Msgnr Georges Lamitre propounded the theory.. Big bang is a scientific theory, has nothing to do with theism or atheism..
Ok but Eleduamare was caused by what? remember you said this For something to exist, something will surely cause it. So what is this Eleduamare ? Is this Eleduamare excluded from your assertion above ? 1 Like 1 Share |

johnydon22: No proof for all these. The hypothesis is nothing different from religious accounts. johnydon22: I support big bang theory but to some extent. It is observable even with the naked eye that the universe is expanding. No doubt about that. But the problem I have with this theory has to do with something magically appearing from nothing. Secondly, I am not arguing a catholic priest didnt propound big bang theory. I stated categorically that atheists use the theory to explain the origin of the universe thereby ruling out creator God and Goddidit theory. johnydon22: In Yoruba spirituality, Gods have father and son. However, they are silent on whom was the father or mother of Eledumare. So we dont know and dont care. |

KingEbukasBlog:lol You have to show me first that that paint has self replicating atoms just like natural elements have self replicating atoms. That's why you can simply drop an acon on the ground and it will germinate and turn into a giant tree.. There is a difference between a rubber flower and a biological flower..
Lmao where did this one come from.. It means i don't know neither do i claim to know.. -Creator: we will be needing proof of that complex entity by the way.. ? [b][i] Now you are employing evolution? You do not really know how to argue.. -First i have not brought anything about evolution -i have not asserted to be an evolutionist so where did this one come from?
But these gases are actually these simplest particles.. Protons, electrons are these gases.. How do you wish to differentiate something from what it really is? Just like saying how H20 brought water together when H20 is water itself. A simple demonstration of how simple cells can replicate into more complex cells is a process of Mitosis. where a single cell divides into two daughter cells 1 Like 1 Share |

johnydon22: I guess the reason why vooks and winners were hitting menesheh is because menesheh like other atheists categorically termed religion account as myth while the big-bang alternative is illogical, dumb and plain silly as something cannot come from nothing. Atheists clings on science as tag it as truth while he calls religion accounts myth. Notice on one among the theists argued against there account been myth. They rather argued; - your alternate explanation is fallacy. Something/nothing thang. This is hypocrisy when one myth is seen as truth and other is seen as superstition. - Menesheh turn around to say he is not a scientist. Then he have no right to call religious account myth when he has no counter theory. Hence he should shut the hell 3 Likes 2 Shares |

FOLYKAZE: I have never seen a scientist come out to insist these hypothesis are true until proven to be.. No one need believe and insist a hypothesis is true, that is the difference between a scientific hypothetical postulation and a religious dogma. One insists it is true and must be held as immutable while the other agrees to be a speculation that may be wrong until supported by facts. Neptune was once a hypothetical prediction by observing a little distortion of Uranus orbit.. until it was observed in actuality to be a planet. People should not hold hypothesis as truths but just a speculation of enquiry, to hold a hypothesis as truth is absurd..
Quantum fluctuation is an actual phenomenon though the issue here is that no scientist is asserting it was the case in the big bang. I think you need to read the theory to grasp what it really propose.. i have never seen magically appear from no where
And by so doing you stereotyped every atheist. . i only showed you SOME theists agree with it just like SOME atheists. i believe it should have been better if you used SOME
Ok so it progresses into an infinite regression? 2 Likes 2 Shares |

johnydon22: You brought up the idea that random events can give a desired result . I gave an example of a random event and asked if a desired result - my description - will be gotten . That's why you can simply drop an acon on the ground and it will germinate and turn into a giant tree.. Let me ask you . How did living things derive the propensity to reproduce ? Because the above example is one . There is a difference between a rubber flower and a biological flower.. [/i][/b] So why did a flower decide to be a flower (seeing that you are of the view that a mind did not make that a possibility ) ? Lmao where did this one come from.. It means i don't know neither do i claim to know.. A creator's qualities is out of the question here . Because you can't explain the creators qualities does not mean that you should question the fact he created the creation .
So then can you give a better explanation for the species of life forms ? But these gases are actually these simplest particles.. Protons, electrons are these gases.. Are you insinuating that these gases are a product of random chaotic events . What proof do you have to substantiate your supposed claim? In summary , what makes a gas what it is . How do you wish to differentiate something from what it really is? Just like saying how H20 brought water together when H20 is water itself. How did it derive the propensity to replicate itself if the proposition that it is designed to do so has been denied by you? |

johnydon22: Oh but you were using an hypothesis which does not have proof and cannot be authenticated as fact to explain origin of a provable and existing universe. The theists tend to explain the universe with God. . .an unproveable character. While atheists are employing non-factual hypothesis to explain the origin of our universe. Isnt this the same hypocrisy vook was arguing about? Y'all tend to rule theists claim as myth while your own claim as fact. The point remains that atheists, science society is no different from religious folks who tend to explain things with unprovable substance. johnydon22: I hope you once agreed with me that there is no prove to this quatum fluntuation. However, you keep throwing it here and there, forcing it on me like it is a fatual proposition and provable evidence to origin of the universe. The point is that you are not different from the religionist who you accuse of spreading myths. M string, multiverse and the other hypothesis are not facts and are relatively myths just like God. johnydon22: agree to this. johnydon22: what is infinite regression pls |

Reproduction the much i know it can be either asexual or sexual, it still arrives at that same point i proposed which is interactions of simpler values which leads to a resulting value
Hahahaha but a flower didn't decide to be, it was just a result of the interacting elements. You didn't decide to be a male, the result came about because of the interactions of (Y) chromosome on the (X)…… It is simply the output of an interaction ..
That you have no idea how something came to be doesn't mean you should assume a creator.. For such assertions you must provide empirical back up or your claim remains a hypothetical speculation. Planets are round, this doesn't mean they were moulded...
Until such knowledge is empirically ascertained, i see no reason why i should throw in an assumption. I wasn't there, no need to claim i know or bring on an explanation of something i have no idea of.
Star cores: Nuclear fusion produces Helium from fusion of hydrogen atoms .. Hydrogen + hydrogen -----> Helium.. Helium + Helium ---> heavier elements ( Oxygen, iron etc) I am insinuating protons and electrons of an element are no different from the elements because that is what makes up an element.. H20 is water.. quarks , subatomic ,atomic particles. . . and so goes for every matter not just gases..
It is simply a result of the reacting value within the intersecting subject.. Anymore assumptions you heap on it is of your own making. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

There are many questions scientists can not clarified, questions like : If the current universe came about through the Big Bang, what caused the Big Bang? If the Big Bang was caused by a Big Crunch, what caused the Big Crunch, and where did all the matter that is contracting and expanding come from? Science does not have natural explanation regarding this questions. One thing for sure I can say, is that As far as science has determined, material events have material causes. It seems more likely, then, that an uncaused cause would not be material, but rather immaterial. God does answer some questions which aren't answered by scientific explanations. Positing an immaterial, powerful being as an uncaused cause explains how the physical universe could have come to exist without relying on the existence of matter in some prior universe. |

FOLYKAZE:I think you confuse yourself between two distinct positions.. Me last i checked i have shown my stance on causality is "I don't know" until it is established empirically
One mistake you guys do with science is that most of you tend to treat scientific postulations as an immutable dogmatized assertion. Science is a method of consistent study and systematic deductions in order to reach a truthful approximation and there is no time it asserts to have reached absolute truth because it recognizes chances of being wrong..
Stereotypes can only make fallacious representations... I am positive most people differ in their stance on causality..
I am sure you need to start representing a value as it is and stop stereotypes. .
Nope understand my assertion.. I was referring to Quantum fluctuation in relation to Big bang theory not independently..
Seriously for goodness sake i was simply teaching you the actual propositions of the big bang theory. when will you people learn that teaching someone what a theory says is not same as believing it .. am sure i started by stating am not a Big Bang theorist but you go ahead and make the same mistake.
