There is proof of evolution/no proof of creation
I would like to thank my opponent for accepting this debate with me, also I been looking forward to debating my opponent from some time now.
I would like for my opponent to understand something clearly, when we speak of Evolution we are not talking mini topics; that religion has placed, for science, as an argument. For evolution is right in front of our eyes, also visual, physically proven as we speak.
My opponents job as con...
The full hypothesis on Christianity and Satanism is clear. Atheists are just in between.
Any Christian who has clicked on this I would click back and not read this. Trust me you do not want to read it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmiebkAEzfc - Listen to this while reading my argument. I just watched a clip on two Satanist's being interviewed. It was disturbing to say the least. I would advise no Christian to watch it! But even the weakest Christian can bring down the strongest Satanist. Firstly I noticed that the two Satanist's seemed very controlled, robotic and anima...
The Trinity: A False Doctrine
As far as I'm concerned, the burden of proof is on my opponent to show why, for example, scriptures like Deuteronomy 6:4 ("Hear O Israel, the Lord your God is One Lord") should not be taken at face value. My opponent, I hope, will excuse any sarcasm or irreverence that I may fail to repress, as my family and I have had rather bad experiences revolving around the Trinity doctrine. Ours and several other families were forced to leave a homeschool group because we refused to sign a "confession of f...
There are no good reasons to think theism is true
Theism - By theism, I mean the existence of an omnipotent, omniscient, wholly good, personal being who created the universe, and is (to a greater or lesser extent) active within the universe.
The Resolution
In my first round, I will present an argument to try and establish that no such being exists. I'll leave it to...
Human Personhood Begins at and by Human Conception (fertilization)
I am taking the PRO side of the debate as I will argue that our laws should and to some extent already do recognize the fact that human 'personhood' begins at conception. My opponent will be taking the position of Con and will try to argue that personhood does not and or should not begin at conception.
This debate is significant in that our Constitution under the 'equal protections' clause o...
Can Intelligence exist before matter?
I would like to articulate a point rarely touched upon when discussing the existence God and if it's logical or not. Can intelligence exist before matter? If there was a person born who couldn't feel, smell, taste, hear or see they would have nothing to think about, I mean what could that person think about? They've experienced nothing. They have had no experience involving matter. Now imagine an intelligence with senses working, but no matter, what would that intelligence have to thi...

Construction of Islam
Mirza was previously going to accept my "Convert Me" debate, but someone else bogarted it. Mirza had indicated that he wanted 2 full rounds to introduce the Koran. So here's how the debate will work.
Mirza will make arguments in round 1 and 2. My rebuttals in round 2 and 3 will consist only of 4000 words. This is to give Mirza's first rebuttal in round 3 a chance of actually addressing all my counter arguments. Afterwards, there is no char limit.

The Geneis account of Creation should be read literally
I contend that the wording of Genesis within the context of the Bible does not allow for the Day Age Theory, the Gap Theory, or the Framework Hypothesis. For the purposes of this debate, I ask that scientific arguments be kept to a minimum. By this I mean that I do not wish to delve into a debate on carbon dating, the big bang, how to explain distant starlight, etc. I wish to stick to the Bible, its wording, and whether or not we can interpret the Creation week as anything other than 24 days...
