Hakuna uhusiano wowote kati ya mambo haya mawili. Siwezi kuamini katika kitu kisicho hata na dalili, hakina sayantifiki prufu! lol...nikujilisha upepo tu. Kuna evidence ya kutosha kuonesha kuwa ulimwengu ulikuwepo na viumbe hai miaka milioni kadhaa iliyopita, halafu mtu aniambie eti kuna mjinga mmoja aliiumba dunia na vyote vilivyomo, wakati ukipiga hesabu ya miaka ya kutokea Admu mpaka yesu haifiki hala laki moja!!! na kutoka yesu mpaka sisi ni miaka elfu mbili tu....lol!

Fikiria mambo yaliyo rahisi kabisa, Gari lina designer, nyumba ina architecture, Computer ina designer. Gari inatumia Mafuta, Maji, Oil , Upepo. Na inatoa hewa chafu (through exhaust).
Je Dunia? Haina mwenyewe? Aliyeitengeneza? Imekuja yenyewe? kutoka wapi?

Beginning with the archeological landmark event of the fall of Jerusalem (which has now been corrected to 588 B.C., instead of 586-587 B.C.) and counting backwards the prophesied number of years between this event and the division of Solomon's kingdom (390 yrs. + 40 yrs., according to Ezekiel 4:4-7), brings us to 1018 B.C.
From the end of Solomon's 40-year reign to the start of the Temple in the 4th year of his reign takes us back another 37 years to 1055 B.C.
From the start of Solomon's Temple "in the 480th year" (1 Kings 6:1) back to the Exodus from Egypt (hence 479 years previous) brings us to near 1534 B.C.
From the Exodus out of Egypt to Abraham's entering Canaan from Haran was exactly 430 years to the day (Gen 12:10/ Exodus 12:40/ Gal 3:17), thus around 1964 B.C.
Since Abraham entered Canaan at age 75 (Gen 12:4), he was born approximately 2039 B.C.
From Abraham's birth to Noah's grandson (Shem's son), Arpachshad's birth, 2 years after the Flood started, was 290 years (Gen 11:11-26), this places the onset of the Flood at around 2331 B.C. [definitely 4,300-4,400 years ago].
The genealogy of Genesis 5:3-32 precludes any gaps due to its tight chronological structure and gives us 1,656 years between Creation and the Flood, thus bringing Creation Week back to near 3987 B.C. or approximately 4000 B.C.
Therefore, the biblical age of the Earth (using Scripture itself as a guide) is 6,000 years !! Mankind did not evolve 4 million years ago on an Earth which is 4.5 billion years old in a universe which was "big-banged" into existence 18-20 billion years in the distant past. Jesus Christ, the Creator Incarnate, said He made mankind male and female in the beginning (Mark 10:6), and that when the heavens and the earth were commanded into being (Gen 1:1), they "stood up together" (Isa 48:13) not billions of years apart !!

Ni kweli ya kitoto, lakini hauhitaji akili kubwa sana kuelewa kuwa Yuko aliyeumba dunia. Ni akili ya kitoto sana inahitajika na ndivyo kwa milinganifu ya kitoto.

mkulu, rekebisha kidogo hapo kwenye red-isomomeke kuamini. Imani ni kitu hatari sana. amini nakwambia, ukweli unachimbwa chini-haupatikani angani.

The Synod of the Lutheran Church of Sweden has come down in favour of church weddings for homosexuals in a vote held on Thursday morning.

The decision, which is based on a proposal from the church's governing board, means that the Church of Sweden will conduct wedding ceremonies for both heterosexual and homosexual couples.

The proposal was approved by 176 of 249 voting members.

The decision comes just three days after the 30th anniversary of the date when homosexuality stopped being classified as a disease in Sweden.

"The Synod's decision takes a stance in favour of an inclusive view of people. Regardless of whether one is religious or not, this affects the entire social climate and the view of people's equal value," Åsa Regnér, head of the Swedish Association for Sexuality Education (RFSU) - the country's largest gay rights group, said in a statement.

In June, the church board took the first step towards permitting same-sex marriages by submitting a petition to the Church of Sweden Synod – the church's highest decision-making body.

The board proposed the church continue to perform wedding ceremonies following new legislation which came into force on May 1st and grants same-sex couples in Sweden the same legal marriage status as heterosexuals.

A type of God who cares about sinn!,a god who care about what i Free ideas do!.Such a god who created us with his love but planing to burn us!.Hii aina gani ya mungu huyu,""Ninachojua mimi,kama kuna mungu basi sio huyo mnaemtambulisha nyie,mungu wa Waislamu,wakristo,ma-budha,Hindu na kadhalika.""
Kama kuna mungu hakuna anayemjua na hakuna anayeweza kumuelezea! Na hawezi kamwe kuwa na sifa hizi mnazompa kila siku hapa.Huyu mnaekesha kumuelezea humu.

NON THEISTS COMMON ARGUMENT

By Kiranga
Kabla ya kuniambia mungu ananipenda, tafadhali thibitisha kwamba yupo.

HERE IS THE ANSWER FROM THE SAME PERSON

By Kiranga
Hujaelewa/ unakwepa swali, siulizi mungu wangu, nauliza mungu wako.

ANOTHER REPLY FROM A NON THEIST

By Free ideas
God is a complicated entity which requires a much more certificated explanation ..........
It can't be better than this.

ARGUMENT THAT NON THEISTS DON'T APPLY FAITH IN THEIR LIFE

By Kiranga

Sitaki kuamini, nataka kujua.

Sijashindwa kuthibitisha uwepo wangu, wewe ndiye umeshindwa kutaja framework na margin of error.

Uthibitisho wowote ambao hauna defined domain/ framework and margin of error ni ubatili.

HAPA SASA ANAONYESHA KUKUBALI IMANI KWA KUPINGA MADAI YAKE YA AWALI

By Kiranga
I can barely tolerate it for practical reasons linked to it's current inescapable nature as pointed above. That is, in order to eradicate it, one has to barely accommodate it, and converge towards it's gradual eradication methodically.

Experimentation, peer review and observation in a corrective and critically reflective culture (the opposite of faith) would eventually converge towards less belief and more knowledge.

That is how science advances.

HAPA ANASEMA KUWA YUPO ALLERGIC NA BELIEF

By Kiranga
I am allergic to belief.

I would rather know, thank you very much.
HUYOOOOO kesha anza kuonyesha tatizo katika UONGO WAKE WA ALLERGY

HAPA CHINI ANAFANYA FLIP FLOP NA KUKUBALI FAITH

By Kiranga
Inherently I do not have a problem with faith.

....

Here is where some choose to have total faith in an invisible god while others choose to have only a minimal amountn of faith based on.rationality and gradually converge towards knowledge.

NDUGU ZANGUNI,

Mimi sina la zaidi au la kuongeza, leo mmesha muelewa kuwa jamaa ni FLIP FLOP na SI MALI KITU, Ndio maana anatumia IGNORE LIST katika Debate.

Majibu mmesha yapata kuwa huyo Non Theist si Mali kitu
