I would like to thank Magic8000 for agreeing to this topic. Please read everything below before accepting.

I will be arguing that mankind is the not main cause of global warming. We will not be arguing if global warming exists or not, it will be assumed that it does; only if global warming has an anthropogenic cause.

BoP is shared.

There are 4 basic forces in the universe, The Strong Force, Electromagnetism, The Weak Force, and Gravity.

Star Trek technology is achievable

Heineken
philochristos

The technology on Star Trek is reasonably achievable. While the technology is inherently fictional, the function of the technology could be duplicated in the real world, including it's practical application.

I have provided a list of Star Trek technology. My opponent must choose one of these listed fictional technologies and argue why it's impossible to create. My burden of proof will be to explain why it is possible to create such a technology.

Are "Zombies" a possibility?

Quinoas
jdog2016

I a for the fact that a "Zombie" is a possibility. Below I have put a definition. "A zombie (Haitian Creole: zonbi; North Mbundu: nzumbe) is an "animated corpse resurrected by mystical means, such as witchcraft". The term is often figuratively applied to describe a hypnotized person bereft of consciousness and self-awareness, yet ambulant and able to respond to surrounding stimuli. Since the late 19th century, zombies have acquired notable popularity, especially in North American and European f...

The USFG should initiate a public contract bid for a pilot lunar terraforming project.

Yraelz
Raisor

Some quick definitions. Terraforming: Deliberately modifying a celestial body to make habitable by humans. Lunar: Relating to the moon. Pilot: A small scale project, perhaps only a few square meters in area. Contract bid: A process in which the best qualified company with the lowest bid will be granted the contract. So my position in this debate is that the United State Federal Government should offer a contract bid to all U.S. companies / entities. The bid will be for the winner to c...

Scientific Evidence Supports the Theory of Evolution

Muted
Wnope

This is in response to "Wnope"s Evolution Corner" http://debate.org/forums/religion/topic/26562/, where he has made the claim that creationists wet their pants when presented with the "actual math." As such, I want to see what Wnope is really made of and sent this challenge. The last debate he had was made solely to gain voting rights. For this debate, Definitions: Scientific evidence : Data gained through the scientific method, which can be summarized as "testable, repeatable, falsifia...
