Pastor Segun Onayinka is a brilliant man
His church was the only one I was could attend while in Lagos, as he seemed to apply some rationality to his teaching
Sadly, it seems his brilliance has a data cap, and I will try to correct some incorrect statements he has made

1. "Has anyone provided proof of God& #39;s inexistence"
This is a stupid question
You find proof of something& #39;s EXISTENCE, not it& #39;s INEXISTENCE
If he was familiar with the concept of Burden of Proof, he would know it is the people making a claim that are to prove it

If he was familiar with the concept of Burden of Proof, he would know it is the people making a claim that are to prove it
Let& #39;s take it step by step
Who is making the claim?
It is the Christians
Christians make a claim. Atheists don& #39;t believe it
The Christians say God is real. The Atheists say I don& #39;t believe until you prove it
It is the people making the claim that are required to prove it

It is the people making the claim that are required to prove it
Think about it this way
If I said fairies live under rocks
I believe in my heart fairies live under rocks
It is written in my book that fairies live under rocks
The fairy spirit agrees with my spirit that fairies live under rocks and since you can& #39;t disprove it, it is true
If I said fairies live under rocks
I believe in my heart fairies live under rocks
It is written in my book that fairies live under rocks
The fairy spirit agrees with my spirit that fairies live under rocks and since you can& #39;t disprove it, it is true
Would you then proceed to look under every rock on earth to prove that they DON& #39;T exist?
It is the person that says it exists that is required to prove it, not the other way around
Do you get?

Now, even though we do not need to disprove it, we can and we have
Sufficiently
It is the person that says it exists that is required to prove it, not the other way around
Do you get?
Now, even though we do not need to disprove it, we can and we have
Sufficiently
Let me quickly add that while modern science has successfully disproven the Creation Story, Noah& #39;s Ark, Jonah and the Whale, Tower of Babel, Exodus from Egypt and many other Bible fairy tales...
In 2000 years, the Christians have never once been able to provide evidence of God

They have never once brought evidence that God is real
Not once

Ask a Christian for proof of God
No sermon. No shalaye. Just proof
It is always Faith and & #39;my Bible says...& #39;

2. "Has Quantum Cosmology explained the emergence of the universe and why?"
NB:
Science doesn& #39;t explain why. Just how
How - Causality. Why - Purpose, Destiny
Science expains how it works. It is humans that choose to infer purpose/destiny
Q1 - Yes
Q2 - Irrelevant

3. "Have our sciences explained why our universe seems to be fine-tuned to allow for the existence of life?

If you took the universe. The whole observable universe and put it into Lagos

Think about that
If you took the universe. The whole observable universe and put it into Lagos
That is, if the whole universe was the size of Lagos, the amount of space hospitable to life, would be smaller than your fingernail
Think about that
Imagine if you drove into a state, and the amount of oxygen available for you to breathe was as small as a fingernail, would you conclude that that state was designed for life?
Yes or No?https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😶" title="Mundloses Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Mundloses Gesicht">
Yes or No?
Now imagine that we finally have this tiny ball which is 0.000000000000001% of the universe that we can exist on
