See this one! You want to be humane with who? You have added ignorance to stupidity!

What makes you think I want the two of us to engage in any form of discourse?

Just simply point out the things in my threads that display stupidity or go away with YHVH's curse.

Who has time to give pearls to pigs or holy things to dogs!

@bolded, you cursed me, but you call it the curse of some 4 letter words you wrote. In your mind, the 4 letter words you wrote have spiritual powers to spiritually do me harm.


For your own sake, please research extensively on Delusions and Psychosis. I cannot simply point out a single stupïd post from you because all your post's are stüpid and reek of delusion!!!

Nigeria is a seven lettered word, how can Nigeria be a place! I have heard you.

As a servant of YHVH Almighty, I speak for him here on earth. Better still, he speaks through me. Not only me, other saints of his also. Each saint operates according to the task committed to him or her. When I am seen, he is also seen in me.

I am here doing my job as my Father in heaven determines. I didn't ask you for any favour or financial assistance. But you waltzed in here with the sole aim of attempting to pull me down and to make a nonsense of what I am doing here.

The messages which YHVH Almighty, my Daddy in the sky, has, so far, used me, his servant, elated177, to disseminate here, on this platform, have helped many. That is certain. Many have learnt a lot. Many have been greatly encouraged. The spirits of many have been either been lifted or set free. The doubt and confusion of many have been cleared. The messages are not for everyone. Those to whom they have been sent, have benefited from them and that is all that matters.

But you have boldly, not once or twice, asserted that they display stupidity, psychosis, delusion and ignorance. You have not spoken in ignorance. You know very well what you are doing. I have to state all these because the Owner of the four lettered name, YHVH Almighty, will not condemn the innocent or acquit the guilty. In time of ignorance, he overlooks. Stupidity, psychosis, delusion and ignorance will never depart from you and your bloodline to the fourth generation.

I have asked you to point out the stupidity in the messages. You have refused to do so. At least, pick one message and highlight the stupidity in it, yet you have failed to do so.

Now, this is my prayer for you, Iammichael. All you need to do is say: "So shall it be."

Every thing that will come out front your body will be stupid. Stupidity will never depart from your bloodline to the fourth generation of those who will ever insult a saint of YHVH Almighty while he/she is doing his or her Father's job. All the problems which YHVH Almighty have used the threads to profer solutions to, will befall you, Iammichael, and no spiritual father or mother, altar, shrine or amulet will ever be able to save or redeem you. Only YHVH Almighty, whose work you have attempted to malign, will save and redeem you, only when you look up to him and out of anguish of heart, body, soul and spirit, cry out to him in total repentance.

Delishpot, you did well posting it.


Summary: lightning is caused by interaction between negative and positive charges. Thunder, in turn, is caused by lightning as it travels through the air. The vacuum it creates collapses and voila, thunder. It is imperative to state here that this is still a theory. The cause of lightning and thunder is still subject to speculation.

Lightning is seen before thunder is heard because the speed of light - 3 by 10 raised to the power 8 meters per second - is much greater than the speed of sound in air - 343m/s - depending on the temperature of the air. This is physics. This servant of YHVH Almighty is physicist, also.

I only needed that here for the purpose of this discourse.

Since you're not an atheist, I will throw no questions at you. However, you are free to continue to contribute.

I was going to answer the question with what i read online, but others have already done that.

It is imperative to state here that this is still a theory

This is a common misconception a lot of people have, mistaken the colloquial definition of a theory with a scientific one. The regular use of theory is actually a hypothesis in the scientific method. In the scientific method, a theory is an explanation, backed up by evidence for a phenomenon. The phenomenon is observed and hypothesis are developed. This hypothesis is then tested vigorously to see if it holds up, if it does, then it becomes a theory. If it fails, it is discarded.

Think of scientific knowledge as approximations. We are digging deeper and deeper. Science is the shovel and the theories are like the layers of dirt , each new theory based on new evidence is closer to the actual thing than the last.

An example of this is Neil-Bohr's model of an atom, that atoms consist of a central nucleus containing a proton and a neutron and electrons orbiting the nucleus (in a planetary manner). This was the accepted theory about a century ago and it works for practical purposes. But through further experimentation, we know this model to not be "correct". We now know that electrons aren't just particles but also behave like waves, and they don't orbit around the nucleus, but are found in regions calculated by probability equations.

As another example, lets imagine this scenario. You're in an empty room with a light bulb and a switch. You've never seen both of this stuff before. You look at the switch and you form a hypothesis that the switch might have something to do with the bulb. To test this, You turn the switch one way and the light bulb is on, you turn it the other way and the light bulb is off. You then say, for every light bulb there is a switch which controls it and call it the light bulb and switch theory. This theory is not wrong, but it is incomplete. It is also not speculation.
Now years past and scientists have tested several hypothesis about how the bulb and switch work and they all failed, until one person comes along. He thinks to himself and wonders if there is any thing connecting the switch and the bulb (his hypothesis). The advancements of his time have given him better tools to probe this phenomenon -- he now has a pick axe. So he hacks at random points along the wall until he finds a wire. What is this? he doesn't know. He keeps hacking, uncovering the wall until he sees the conduit wiring underneath the wall, connecting the switch to the bulb. He disconnects the wire and the switch no longer controls the bulb. He connects the wires back and it works as usual. He then says that if a switch is connected via a wire to the bulb, the switch would be able to turn the bulb on and off. He calls it the switch, wire and bulb theory. This theory is much closer to the actual thing than the last one. But note the last one wasn't wrong, it was just incomplete and both theories are not just speculation, they were tested and have empirical data to back them up.
Now let's say years later, another scientists comes along and wants to know how it all works. He believes there is something in the wire that causes the bulb to turn on and the switch is just one part of a bigger system (hypothesis). He probes the wire to find out what's going on. He finds out the wires from the bulb loop back to another device (the battery) and that without this device, neither the switch or the wire alone can turn the bulb on. He finds out when the loop (the circuit) is complete (connected to the battery) the compass needle deviates and when the loop is cutoff from the battery the compass needle returns to position. There must be something in the wire coming from the device (the battery) and this thing in the wire generates a magnetic field that affects the compass. He finally concludes that when you create a complete loop with the final device, the device passes a juice that flows to the bulb and powers it on and that the switch is just to control the flow of this juice. He calls this the juice source theory. Non of these theories are speculation because they're backed up by evidence and the next iterations are more complete forms of the previous ones.
This is a simple example of how it all works but it gets the point accross.

You have the time and patience, go through the following.


It seems hard to believe that we still don’t understand what causes lightning during thunderstorms – but that’s a fact.

Famously, Benjamin Franklin was one of the first people to investigate how lightning is triggered. He was correct to conclude that lightning is a natural electrical discharge – those were the early days of harnessing electricity – but it’s not clear that his celebrated kite-and-key experiment in 1752 ever went beyond a mere idea, not least because the kite was depicted, in Franklin’s account, as being flown – impossibly – out of a window.

In some ways we’ve not got much further since Franklin. It’s not yet agreed, for example, how a thundercloud gets charged up in the first place. Somehow the motions of air, cloud droplets, and precipitation (at that altitude, ice particles) conspire to separate positive from negative charge at the scale of individual molecules. It seems that ice particles acquire electrical charge as they collide, rather as rubbing can induce static electricity, and that somehow smaller ice particles tend to become positively charged while larger ones become negatively charged. As the small particles are carried upwards by convection currents, the larger ones sink under gravity, and so their opposite charges get separated, creating an electrical field.

A lightning strike discharges this field. It is basically a gigantic spark jumping between the “live wire” and the “earth” of an electrical circuit, in which the former is the charged cloud and the latter is literally the earth.

While many details of this process aren’t at all clear, one of the biggest mysteries is how the spark gets triggered. Since the electrical fields measured in thunderclouds don’t seem nearly big enough to induce a lightning discharge spontaneously, something is needed to “seed” it. One idea is that they are triggered by cosmic rays streaming into the atmosphere from space. A study has tried to interrogate that notion and finds that, if there’s anything in it, it’s probably not quite in the way we thought.

Out-of-this-world idea

Cosmic rays – mostly protons and electrons – pervade the universe, being produced in awesomely energetic astrophysical processes like supernovae, and they are constantly raining down on Earth. If a cosmic ray collides with an air molecule, this can kick out a spray of fundamental particles and fragments of nuclei. Those in turn interact with other molecules, ionising them and generating a shower of electrons.

In 1997, Russian scientist Alexander Gurevich and his coworkers in Moscow suggested a way in which cosmic rays could be lightning seeds. In the electric field of a thundercloud, these electrons are accelerated, much as particles are in a particle accelerator, creating yet more energetic collisions in a “runaway” process that builds into a lightning strike. This process is expected to produce X-rays and gamma-rays too, and since bursts of these rays have been detected by satellites during thunderstorms, Gurevich’s idea of cosmic-ray-induced lightning seemed plausible.

If the cosmic-ray theory is right, the avalanche of electrons should also generate radio waves, which would be detectable from the ground. Three years ago, Joseph Dwyer of the Florida Institute of Technology began trying to detect such radio signals from thunderstorms, as well as using arrays of particle detectors to look for the showers of particles predicted from cosmic-ray collisions. These and other studies by Dwyer and other groups are still being conducted (literally) at the International Center for Lightning Research and Testing at the US Army base of Camp Blanding in Florida.

Finding avalanches

But meanwhile, Dwyer has teamed up with Leonid Babich and his colleagues at the Russian Federal Nuclear Center in Sarov to delve further into the theory of Gurevich’s idea. (The Russian pre-eminence in this field of the electrical physics of the atmosphere dates from the cold-war Soviet era.) They have asked whether the flux of high-energy cosmic-rays, with their accompanying runaway electron avalanches, is sufficient to boost the conductivity of air and cause a lightning strike.

To do that, the researchers have worked through the equations describing the chances of cosmic-ray collisions, the rate of electron production and the electric fields this induces. The equations are too complicated to be solved by hand, but a computer can crunch through the numbers. And the results don’t look good for Gurevich’s hypothesis: runaway electron avalanches produced by cosmic-ray showers just don’t seem capable of producing electrical breakdown of air and lightning discharge.

However, all is not lost. As well as the particle cascades caused by collisions of high-energy cosmic rays, the atmosphere can also be electrified by the effects of cosmic rays with lower energy, which are more plentiful. When these collide with air molecules, the result is nothing like as catastrophic: they simply ionise the molecules. But a gradual build-up of such ionised particles within a thundercloud could, according to these calculations, eventually produce a strong enough electrical field to permit a lightning discharge.

That possibility has yet to be investigated in detail. But Dwyer and colleagues think that it leaves an avenue still open for cosmic rays to lie at the origin of lightning bolts.







The cause of lightning is still a mystery in the science world.
