Could This Be The Reason Afticans Are Left Behind In Science And Technology? by Nobody: 10:55pm On Sep 01, 2022
It is a thing of concern for me that Africans always tag new science discoveries as "lies" even before understanding.

Why are Africans always concluding that scientists are liars?
We believe in tagging someone a witch which we can't prove, but after seeing the evidence of what science can do literally all around us we still find it difficult to comprehend scientific ideas and methods even so called science students or practioners.

Why do we believe more in spiritual things than we can't prove than things we can clearly see?

Don't get me wrong...I'm not saying spiritual things don't exist...but it's easier to believe in science than spiritual things. I just feel we tag everything we can't understanding as "spiritual " because we don't want to put our brains to work..that's why we are still here with all our "spiritual beings"

Firstly what you term spiritual is called pseudo science,it is called so because it's a belief people have and agree to which can't be proven by practical scientific research,the big question is has religion not benefited from science? Has science not helped make the spread of religion a walk in a park? without science religion would be left with nothing but bones,yet science had to shed innocent blood to save religion all the time and even religion itself couldn't boast keeping a clean sheet, religion is the height of absolutely hipocrissy, people who practice religion are prideful and judgmental,they easily forget the sacrifices science did to give them a cure to diseases when the pseudo science failed them, science doesn't lie about it's practice because it's about tests and validation, religion on the other hand is segregative and thrives on favoritism,they have special seats for top practitioners,commoners dare not sit on those chairs or spots or it would be considered as blasphemy by the follower's, yet religion claims humility and equality, isn't that hipocrissy in it's highest form? Africa always had belief in the myth of pseudo science,sensing this the west world modernized these pseudo practice into a religion Africans would fall for sincere it speaks of same pseudo science but a more foreign and formal way,and because this new form of practice promised to ease the pain of offenders through a chance of repentance,it was embraced by many due to selfishness,il hurt you and repent and il be forgiven kind of practice.the same concept was used to destroy African innovation and technologies to prevent the dark skin from dominance in world affairs.religion is modern day slavery , science would forever be supreme and as far as that goes, science stands justified with it's actions,but we need to educate more people to embrace it against false pseudo science.

Some have been able to replicate that knowledge to solve local problems e.g your banking apps were built by Nigerians.

Your medical doctors after having studied this science have been able to detect, treat and indeed heal you of your infirmities.

Almost all my friends especially Muslim ones hate me now, why because I speak against religion and oppose the fact that charms work.

Their imaginary charms and sprits haven't been captured on camera in over 150 years yet some stupid people still believe in it.
Religion is doing more harm than good, benefiting liars and thieves, they scam people with hopes of prosperity, they turn you against your ancestors and family members that they are the reason behind your misfortunes.

Even in the great America, there are homeless people, there are hungry people all over the world and no one is blaming their ancestors, wives or kids for spiritually making them fail.

We needs through mental evaluation and rehabilitation in Africa. Else we will fool ourselves back to the stone age.

Some people would rather go to a native doctor instead of going to a hospital, the native doctor will tell them the sickness is spiritual, the fact is that this native doctor knows the truth but he will rather lie just so he can make some money.

Religion is the reality that doesn't require any proof and validation.
What Africans and most people around the world practice is a traditionalized form of religion.

It is more realistic to believe that the entire universe was created by something supreme than the purported BIG BANG THEORY relished by science...
On the bigger picture religion supercede science because your comparison of religion with science is on elementary basis which is highly corrupted and traditionalized.
SAME SCIENCE PROVES THAT GOD EXISTS THROUGH PROBABILITY:THE PROBABILITY THAT SOMETHING CAME FROM NOTHING IS ZERO (false) so Big bang theory? What was behind it? definitely something!
Africans infact can't practice some aspects of religion without mixing it with tradition: look at the churches in Rome, do they dance and play reggae and pop music in church? NO!
Look at the Saudis: do they practice the rampant MAULUD celebrating the birth of prophet Muhammad SAW? NO!

Don't say that, alot of people from this region are doing wonders, Chikeobi was one of the greatest Mathematicians gave a scientific prove to Fermat's last theorem, a problem that was not solved for more that 360years by any Mathematicians. He was a lecturer at the university of Lagos (Unilag) although he is late now. Mr Ogbuagu a Nigeria man was among those that developed pfizer covid-19 vaccine, we have many more like that which I will not mention. If we can devote that same energy we used in things of religion, I bet you that we will do more and also improve our economy.

Dont say what?? Let not speak fallacy here..so the peolle u mentioned did wonders becos they became athiest??

See bros...i never said people are not doing wonders....or did u read that from me??

...some people are trying to blame religion for what they still cant do since they have dumped religion ...thats why i asked what they have done but complain with their woke mimd

.....dont get me wrong im not preaching religion to anybody...I dont go to religious houses either...

however....we blacks just like playing blame game all the time

We blame pastors doing their own thing...we blame the whites for slave trade, heck they even blame God they say doesnt exist....

....see ..Isaac newton the father of the laws of motion, Alexander Fleming the founder of penicillin and others were all religious folks....
Religion and invention or scientific advancement dont antagonize each other....

before religion came, africa has been at the bottom of the food chain..always feeding off the earth because we were exist where almost everything was abundant..... lets take real actions and stop blame game...

okay,I'm case you don't know I've never been a fan of the big bang theory,as a matter of fact it's been debunked,the idea of a God and the big bang theory are the same,how you May ask?the big bang theory believes in a begining, religion believes in a Creator,why is no one asking about who created the creator?in science no form of existence can come to be with that which was before it this is evident in everything, but after my personal research and observation I arrived at a conclusion that 'time' is only the thing which fits into the definition of whatever people term as a Creator, because it was observed that time moves faster at mountain tops than at beach level (an experiment using clocks digital or analog)now in real time, we can simply say that the outcome of this experiment(time variation) is the consequence of a spontaneous event which has happened as a result of time pass in different locations, meaning time passing creates random events.with this we can agree, that Time is the only thing which exist that isn't created and everything which happened that is visible or invisible happened in the watch of time, therefore I can boldly say time makes anything possible and that the infinitely numbers of galaxy observable today are a vissible representation of Time passing. To date no one has been able to debunk my conjecture in scientific nor religious bodies,if you have any better explanation that beats this then I would like to hear it, because you said it yourself there must be Creator,who created the creator? In my term time wasn't created therefore the universe is as old as time it self meaning it was not created it has been here all the while Born out of time pass.

Time is supreme though not base on your attributions of mountain tops blah blah blah!.
If I may ask how do you define time? Base on invented clock? traditional sand time? Or the ultimate reason behind alternation of day and night? THE SUN!
In that case how do you define time in space where this our particular star the sun doesn't exist?
How do you describe time on others galaxies?
I irrevocably refute your claim that time is above all because SPACE as an expansion of the universe is where time lives.
Even the greatest sciences places Space first before time in principle of relativity as SPACE AND TIME because the former come to mind before the later...
So space is the big questions here!

Remember in space time is measured in lightyears not years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds or micro-seconds

space is the void of time,time isn't defined by day an night, time is an infinite stretch of an ongoing spontaneous event which lives vissible consequence, space is all part of time creation.meaning it's in time.

time doesn't give a sh!t what any one thinks,it exists with visible or invisible proof, with materials it lives evidence of it's existence, without materials it keeps existing,the absence of activity doesn't mean there is no data simply because you are not capable of laying you hands on it,I have told you all you need to know man.
