Thank you in advance for whoever accepts this debate, and I hope that you enjoy it. Please be aware that when I state a decimal with three numbers following...
It makes no sense to ask for scientific evidence for Gods existence.
It makes no sense to seek scientific evidence for supernatural existence. If what is meant by "scienific evidence" requires confirmation by repeatable experiments, then by definition of supernatural, a system that is at a higher hierarchical level than the natural, confirmation by experiment is impossible.

Professional sports stadiums should be privately funded and owned.
Resolved, that private investors, not the Minnesota taxpayer, should build a new stadium for the Minnesota Vikings. Generally, I oppose public subsidies for private businesses.

I affirm. Definitions: 2012: 12/21/12. Supposedly, that's when the world will end. Clarification: In the year 2012, the world wouldn't end.

In the year of 2000 the world didn't end. So in the year 2012 the world will not end. Contention 2: We are using the Georgian Calendar. Only the Mayan Calendar says in 2012 the world wil...
