I don't have "faith" cuz that's ignorance at it's peak.

And religion brought the idea of God, do you ever read??

[b] "In ancient times, religion was indistinguishable from what is known as `mythology' in the present day and consisted of regular rituals based on a belief in higher supernatural entities who created and continued to maintain the world and surrounding cosmos. Theses entities were anthropomorphic and behaved in ways which mirrored the values of the culture closely (as in Egypt) or sometimes engaged in acts antithetical to those values (as one sees with the gods of Greece). Religion, then and now, concerns itself with the spiritual aspect of the human condition, gods and goddesses (or a single personal god or goddess), the creation of the world, a human being’s place in the world, life after death, eternity, and how to escape from suffering in this world or in the next; and every nation has created its own god in its own image and resemblance. The Greek philosopher Xenophanes of Colophon (c. 570-478 BCE) once wrote:

Mortals suppose that the gods are born and have clothes and voices and shapes like their own. But if oxen, horses and lions had hands or could paint with their hands and fashion works as men do, horses would paint horse-like images of gods and oxen oxen-like ones, and each would fashion bodies like their own. The Ethiopians consider the gods flat-nosed and black; the Thracians blue-eyed and red-haired.
[/b]

Humans have basically imagined gods through out history and have got some kind of book written about these gods.. so when you tell me there is God I don't take you serious, but just know that the flying spaghetti monster is real, if only you can prove that's FSM is not real

you simply lack knowledge.

To see if I can help you, If you were asked to define God what would you say?

in short form, what is the word "GOD"?

randomperson:

Have u researched what 4everGod posted and found it to be true... Hypocrisy at its peak

fairness is for an opposition to research the OP and refute it.

Go ahead nd research it.

4everGod:
The 2 bonobos up there who know nothing about genetics but copy and paste. Garbage in garbage out now thing they know better than leading geneticists who have called evolution a sham and a disgrace.

I suggest they read the OP.

Funny how u ignored the evidence for evolution and ignored the lack of evidence for creationism

randomperson:

evidence for evolution? Where? Have u forgotten you called it "suggested evidence"?

DoctorAlien:


Yes. It certainly holds greater appeal to reason that lightning struck a soup of chemicals(that came from nowhere) and suddenly amoeba appeared and then became a worm and suddenly dinosaurs are everywhere.


That's very very reasonable.

LMFAO!!!

ambassagod:


faith is ignorance at it's peak?? I am done.

but wait, can you prove to me that the copy and paste you did here is true and reliable?

anybody can just write anything stupid as this and kids like you who are gullible of knowing the real thing would swallow them up.

have you researched what he said and found it to be true?

Have you also researched on the Bible ?

Anybody can just write anything stupid as the bible and you who are gullible of knowing the right thing just swallow them

But wait can you prove to me that the Bible that claims the sun revolves around the earth is true and reliable?

Anas09:

I see.
What is going on nah? I seriously expected that the NL atheists would have dismantled this Op and brought this thread to its knees by now.

Its unsually queit in here. This is the kind of thread where the likes of Johnnydon22, Urahara, TheOnejubulani, Wilgrea7, Dalaman have you not seen this thread yet? Acidocis, where are you? Seun, Cloudegoddess, lepasharon just run around calling God skydaddy, she has nothing to offer.

Well, as Hardmirror became an atheist, i guess he shd be able to come in here and school us abit. Where is Hardmirror? Plaeton why are you pretending not to see this thread? HPaul where are you? Where is akintom? Frank316. You guys shd come out here biko.

Only this bendzics guy who has made a carrier of evading the Op is left here wresting the ground.

Stop mentioning me anyhow. Use your brain for once in your life madam. Doest atheism make me an evolution scientist? By the way the evolution theory makes far more sense than your fairytale creation story. That one I am very sure is bullcrap, I am willing to wait and learn from scientists that follow a book the jews plagiarized

4everGod:


evidence for evolution? Where? Have u forgotten you called it "suggested evidence"?

It's still evidence... I already schooled u on the distinction between evidence and proof... Why do u insist on reveling in ignorance?? Don't be deceived, ignorance is not bliss

let me go out for the day. will be back

Pls just ignore them. Common sense is indeed not common. I shld leave scientific theories for myths and stories. Imagine the stupidity

randomperson:

There is evidence, not proof of evolution. Gimme one evidence of creation.
And how does this make sense... A being never seen or heard who had been existing for eternity just decided one day to make the world. And then he says let there be light, bla, bla, bla... And he created light before he created the sun... Abeg where light come from....
The scientific inaccuracy of your stories alone render them ridiculous

there is evidence of evolution but not proof of evolution?
LMAO

do you derive fun in being deluded? just asking.

tell me the difference between evidence of evolution and proof of evolution.

benzics:

They should even ask themselves, since god has always been, that means the earth to has always been, because according to their folklore, he created the earth on the first day.

And they should ask themselves why this same god created, Jupiter Mars, Venus and other non-habitable planets, and why he created billions of stars in our galaxy.

They also claim that the three wise men saw a star that led them to Christ, when basically all Stars we see are dead stars, so a star died billions of years ago only to tell you that Jesus will be born in a billion year time? Ya right, sounds like Christianity to me, dumb as always!

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHRISTIANITY AND THEISM!!!!

Why do you find it hard to learn?

please how does God's eternity equals the eternity of the earth??

4everGod:


He will lie and say he met his ancestors so knew they were the one. There is always a family History in every family and if you ask, your parents would tell you. I still remember my dad sitting me down to tell me what happened during the civil war. He told it so well that i felt i was in that wr myself. I can now tell my son the part his grandfather played during the civil war.

There is always information handed down from generation to generation to as many as are curious enough to ask.

It's called Oral Tradition. Handing down information by word of mouth from generation to generation.

Trying to discredit evolution is just silly. Even the Catholic church, which rejects contraceptive use, accepts evolution. Stop disgracing yourself! This is not to say that I don't welcome questioning of evolution, but do you think smarter people haven't asked the same questions since 1859?

benzics:

I know I have an uncle because my dad has siblings, my grandfather existed because for someone like my father to come about, he must have been given birth to and it goes on...

Now just how do you know there is God, answer with facts and not assumptions like "who made" !

Now am very sure you are ...

randomperson:

Where did I say an science inclined... Evolution is what it is, a theory. Your epistle doesn't make it any more or less so... People who claim evolution show fossils showing a gradual transformation from one form of life to another, the chemical and anatomical similarities of related life forms e.t.c. these claims are not proof but they serve as suggestion of a theory

Creationism has been so debunked that the SCOTUS has held that it shouldn't be taught in public schools either as an addition or alternative to mainstream evolutionary theory

you are really confused.

Anas09:

It's called Oral Tradition. Handing down information by word of mouth from generation to generation.

Oral tradition is not reliable. It's consistently altered and cannot be verified... Greek mythologies, African folklores are all passed down through oral tradition

why did you mention me along side with nl atheists
I'm not an atheist
I'm a staunch Christian
And i believe in the creation story 100%
i don't support the evolutionary theory

benzics:

Dumb!! I don't need to see my ancestors to believe that they existed, because simple and short, every human is a result of reproduction, so I had people reproducing before I was born!

You keep calling people dumb when you the dumb here. You believe in reproduction, yet you dodnt believe in the account of creation which enjoines all the animals tonreproduce according to their kind? Worrrrriiissssdiissss?

4everGod:


Your fellow atheist say evolution is a fact and you are saying same since you said there is evidence. can we see this evidence?..

Or are you now shifting from evidence to suggestions of evidence?

I think you didn't get him right. or maybe I am missing out.

he said that there are evidences of evolution but those evidences are not proofs of evolution.

just imagine the dumbness.

ambassagod:

God!! I have to school you again?? Okay, listen very well.
Someone is charged for murder, evidence might include the fact that there was a possible motive, that the accused was at the scene of the crime, that there was a threat of murder from the accused. All these are evidence but they are not proof. Get it now?? U compile each and every evidence to show proof. That's why cases are won by preponderance of evidence

Gombs:
Hold up...

Did I just witness Atheists denying evolution?

Where's Uncle Seun, please come and explain to me that hominids killing of their predecessors and how we evolved from dumb to smart.


Wish to create time and grace this thread as it deserves ooo.

Y'all Atheists be thinking with bogus grammars you can fool alot others... Where's Hanh and hopefulLandlord?

Y'all need explain something... You two were busy backing seun up with that evolution crap, only for you two to seemingly deny it here?

they hid and denied evolution.

Seun:

When you do this, you always sound like a religious person. Intimidating people with how long something has been believed and the 'superior' knowledge such ancient persons have is just you being really irrational. This is how religious leaders discourage people from using their minds.

Gombs:


It's frankly embarrassing, especially when coming from the 'enlightened ones' .... Remember that fella who said his IQ increased after being atheist?

lol

randomperson:

Seems u don't know the different between evidence and proof...
Am going to use a legal definition because it's concise:
A fact which by itself or in connection with other facts, the existence, non- existence, probability, nature or extent of another fact is proven.
The proven facts are the existence of fossils and the anatomical and chemical similarities. They make the idea of evolution more probable.
Evolution is not a fact because there's not conclusive proof of it... Buh there are evidence to suggest the existence of evolution.
Gimme one evidence that points to the world created by your god as claimed in the bible

this guy is ignorant

randomperson:

U people don't understand English... Evolution is not proven but it's more credible than creationism... This is common sense now... Is it that scarce these days?

sorry, you just abused common sense.

please tell me how more credible it is? is it something hard?

Gombs:
I think we should have a thread with title "Nairaland Atheists categorically denies evolution :Read Testimonies "


What sayeth y'all?

4everGod, are you there?

it is cool

ambassagod:


this guy is ignorant

The pics u posted only aid my argument. But I guess your powers of comprehension are terrible.
Read what u posted... Proof ESTABLISHES, Evidence INDICATES

The scientific community is the most skeptical group of people in the world. What is the probability that a bunch of religious apologists on Nairaland have noticed game-changing flaws in the theory of evolution that the scientific community didn't notice during 157 years of intense study? I welcome any honest scrutiny of the theory of evolution, but it is absolutely bonkers to claim that you have "exposed it as a fraud".

ambassagod:

Then tell me how more credible it is. I am all ears.
you can tutor me now.

@randomperson I am still waiting for the tutorial.
get quick.
