History has already proven that god is a mythical idea and a man made construct, scince can not disprove a mythical construct. . .No god can be shown to exist on its own independent of human stories, what human culture choses to say or portray about such a god idea it created and human societal acceptance and infulence of the god idea it created. . .Science has nothing to do with the mythical god idea. . .Science can only disprove certain things written in mythical stories.. .For example lets take the myth about how the rain bow came about according to the bible. . .According to the bible the rainbow began about 4 thousand years ago after the mythical global flood, Science can disprove that narrative by showing that rainbow is simply a refraction of water droplets in the atmosphere and has been in existence for millions of years. .Any where there is a refraction of water droplets in the atmospher a rain bow will appear. . .Thats how science debunks fairy and mythical tales. . .


The scientific explanation for the creation of the universe is the BB. . .

No mind their lie lie God. Saying he created the rainbow 4000years ago after a flood that never even happened in the first place. The bible is full of lies abeg.

Apples to oranges here. I didnt pass a comment on chigodo's post with regard to whether i regard it or not. On the other hand, you berating chigodo for not responding to kmcutez's post sort of indicated that you endorse her post and consider it a legitimate point.

even though your only scientific proof of an alternative creation is a man blowing a balloon with stars painted on it and a telescope? shocked grin

Please quit trying to pass up the Jewish/babylonian creation myth as an alternative theory to scientific cosmology. The alternative to the biblical creation stories are other creation myths like the yoruba or Japanese creation myth.

There are so many proofs to scientific cosmology that this medium would not be able to expanciate on them, but the most direct proof of planetary formation can be seen directly by powerful telescopes like hubble, which is able to take pictures of planets in other systems in various stages of formation.

The illustration of the man blowing balloon can never be termed proof, it is just an illustration to explain a scientific fact.

About your definition of matter, i am ashamed for you. How can a PHD holder define matter as anything that has space and volume. Even the very basic JSS definition of matter defines matter as anything that has MASS and occupies space. Then to make things worse, you that claims to be an English language puritan do not understand that volume and space means the same thing.

It appears when you cannot answer a question you revert to adhominems and irrelevancies. How has the above answered the very question that you quoted?

See the highlight... please provide just 1-2 of these "so many proofs". To hide under "this medium would not be able to expantiate on them" is quite silly considering this thread has gone on 4 pages... enough space (or volume) to describe just one proof.

it is you that brings adhominems and irrelivances when you argue on the exact meaning of empirical and then accuse others of irrelivances when you mis-define matter.

I will just give you some compelling evidence for the big bang theory. Here is a link to learn further http://cmb.physics.wisc.edu/polar/ezexp.html

the link provides just 3 evidences,
ie, the inflation of the universe, the background radiation left over as as result of the big b.ang and the composition and ratio of the primary constituent elements of hydrogen, helium and dueterium.
there are other evidences, but let start from here.
Re: God Did Not Create Man In His Image, We Created God In Our Image by wirinet(m): 6:57am On Feb 24, 2013
Other evidences of scientific cosmology, ie, stars and planetary system in its formative state. http://m.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2013/01/captured-in-actual-pictures-the-swirling-birth-of-planets/266831/

this is an actual photo for your eyes to see the process of planetary formation. This was the stage our solar system was about 5 billion years ago.

I hope these are enough evidence for you, if they are not, then you cannot be helped.

Are you saying that rainbow first appeared about 4000 years ago after the mythical global flood? Can you provide evidence to show that refraction of light did not occur 4000 years ago?

davidylan:

An explanation with no "evidence" at all is mere speculation based on faith. So is it your claim that BB has no evidence whatsoever and is merely a theory that may or may not be true?
The BB has some evidence to back it up. . .The BB may or may not be true.

Yes I believe my white masters's science because it offers logics and proofs unlike you who believe your illiterate white masters mysticism without logic or proves but inference and conclusion based on faith

@topic
True.. All gods were created in the image and likeness of man. It comes as no suprise as from religious text we can see that god(a suposedly perfect being) shares common human imperfections like anger, jealosy, regret, evil, silliness, etc and also human features, like a nose, eyes, mouth, legs, hands etc(one can unstand why a human would need this features but when the suposed creator also has such, one has to be suspicious)

Enigma:

^^^ Look at your friend's image with the ballooons. One says 'as you blow the balloon, the galaxies move further apart'.

Meanwhile two gigantic elephants in the room:

1. someone is blowing the balloon; the balloon is not blowing itself and the galaxies are not moving further apart on their own

2. look at the size of the person blowing --- compared to the balloon he is blowing.

Those who will get this will get it. wink


davidylan:

Perfect! cheesy

There is in fact a third gigantic elephant in the room. wink

If the person blowing the balloon were to take out his mouth from the balloon and let the oxygen out, what happens to both the balloon and its 'galaxies'? smiley

Now to the topic at hand after debunking the lie that the big b.ang theory( or any other scientific theory) has no evidence to back it.

A people create a God that reflect the attributes of the people that created it. It reflect the physical appearance, language, culture, psychology and aspirations of the the creators of the God. Apart from the power of creation and control of nature attributed to these Gods, they are usually not different in nature from powerful tribal kings. It is conquest that is usually responsible for spreading the influence of a God beyond the society that created it. Of course a conquered people would be subservient to its conquerors in terms of religion, culture, language and everything else.

Also, the temperament of a God reflects its creators. A peaceful and loving people would create a peaceful and loving God, a war-like and vengeful people would create a wicked and vengeful God, and vain and greedy people would create a vain and materialistic God.

The problems I have with our friends here is that their ability to speak from both sides of their mouth is really mind boggling. . .WE have the bible and exactly how it says god supposedly created the universe. . .It even gives a detail account of how the everything was created in 7 days. . .Now we know that the way their god said he created the universe is completely wrong, the same christians have now pushed their once "factual" creation myth to the realm of mythology by saying is it just an allegory but they still maintain that their god created the universe. . .Even after acknowledging that his own account of creation is wrong and doesn't agree with what we now know. . .

You dont even have to go that far. Since that they are saying that Genesis is only "metaphorical", ask them this simple question;

Would you take seriously a book that claims to be the ultimate guide for life but starts with a fable (a fictional story with an animal, which in ths case, a snake)?
