A Chernobyl-type nuclear power accident cannot happen in the United States
There is renewed interest, and actual progress, in building new nuclear power plants in the United States. http://www.delawareonline.com/article/20090328/NEWS02/903280351 A news broadcast last nigh covered plans to build a new plant near existing ones on the Chesapeake Bay. The broadcasters provided an opportunity for a certified moron from the Union of Concerned Scientists to opine that such a power plant could produce an incident like Chernobyl. He specifically claimed that a loss of coolant w...

It is possible that we are in the matrix right now
I believe that it is possible that we are in the matrix(or some similar program/entity) right now for one reason: there is no reason we can't be in it, if my opponent can disprove this then he wins, if he can't I win, it's that simple....
There is no gravity.
"Gravity" does not exist. Gravity, first and foremost, is simply a natural phenomenon. A phenomenon is an extraordinary event that can be taken how we, as humans, perceive it. It has been proved that accelerated motion and the idea of being at rest in a "gravitational field" are physically identical. Even in a perfect vacuum, accelerated motion will give the illusion that an object has weight. While it is not the large presence of Earth itself that is causing the attraction of objects, it...
Evolution occurs
Neither of us are biology experts, so this will be a fairly simple debate, using layman's terms mostly. All that is necessary for evolution to occur is: -reproduction -mutations If these things are present, than evolution will inevitably occur. There is no way, in fact, that these things can be present, without evolution consequently occurring. So in order for my opponent's opinion to hold any steady ground whatsoever is if he can provide evidence that mutations don't actually occu...

"Intelligent Falling"
(This debate is reserved for JCMT, evermore read it and post comments.) "Maths is usless with out science, like science is uncomplete with out maths." Understanding this theory is a big step, also I understandably get why. This theory (Intelligent falling) consists of a number of things, which are mathmatics, science and intelligence. Unlike its arrive gravity, which consists of randomness, chance and none intelligence. The opisite to "intelligent falling". When a child is at a science...
Evolution is a coherent theory with significant amounts of data to establish its veracity.
Jacoby claimed in another debate comment: "I'll just call you Con. You called the debater ignorant. He just doesn't understand. Well. based on your comments. You certainly aren't in any position to call anyone ignorant. Arrogance becomes the astute know -it -alls that use dogmatic rhetoric to insure your position. Fact is. Not one thing you stated is a fact on evolution. You]re simply parroting what you THINK you know. That is the problem with amateur debaters. Ever read Punctuated Equilibrium?...
Science is the study of God.
Science is the study of God. For this argument God is not God (character) of any given religion's sacred texts. Simply God "is" and "exist" for this Debate. (God does not have to be magical nor do physics) Science: The observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena. Or you could even say; The study of what is. "is" is the singular third-person form of the infinitive "to be," which can roughly be restated as "to exist."...
