The global warming hockey stick is bad science
The global warming hockey stick is a graph of global temperature over time. It was produced by a scientist named Mann, who first published it in a scientific journal in the mid-nineties. He modified and included it in the 2000 report of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It is called a hockey stick because it shows very little variation of climate for the past thousand years until the 20th century, when temperatures soared. That makes the graph look like a hockey stick on its side...
I call BS on Christianity".
I call BS on Christianity".Watcha got? It is my belief that the Christian argument is so weak that I can literally call BS on any part of it and effectively disarm the pro side of the belief. Rules, if it affects why or how you came to believe in the Christian religion then I can oppose it with sound reasoning. Second rule, voters may NOT vote on matters on conduct! While this is still a formal debate that will included only valid sources and citations and should/will remain respectful, I am cal...

Resolved: There was a cover up on 9/11/01 of the demolition of WTC 1 and 2.
During the debate I will attempt to show that it is much more likely that the towers were destroyed by demolition than by fire as the official story claims. There are other parts of the cover up that I will discuss also. 1. Towers (WTC 1 and 2) ---The towers exhibit more characteristics of being destroyed by "controlled demolition" rather than being destroyed by a plane crash and fire like described in the NIST report. A. The Towers were built to withstand a plane flying into it. John S...

Resolved: In a fight without prior preparation, Batman would certainly defeat Spider-Man.
If Batman and Spider-Man were to fight, Spider-Man would beat the living daylights out of Batman. First, Spider-Man has superhuman abilities. Batman is an Olympic level human in terms of physical attributes. Clearly, Spider-Man is superior in this regard. Second, Spider-Man has the advantage in terms of intellect. Whereas Batman abuses his billions of dollars to buy fancy gadgets, Spider-Man actually creates his sophisticated devices (while using an extremely limited amount of resources) w...
