The environmental impact of industrialization is the primary cause of earth's current warming trend.
Many opponents of Global Warming Theory will point to the cyclical nature of earth's climate system and suggest that the current trend is simply a natural rise in temperature due to this cycle. This theory is false. Although Earth cycles through warm and cold climate periods, the environmental impact of human industrialization is the primary cause of the current warming trend. In order to understand the role that Carbon Dioxide plays in earth's natural climate cycles, several factors must be...
Scientifically speaking, abortion should not be legal.
Much of the debate surrounding abortion is whether or not a fetus is a person. If they are a person, I think most agree that they should have some fundamental rights. So what does science have to say about all this? Well, genetically speaking, a fetus is genetically indistinguishable from a baby, a child, or an adult. If you define personhood genetically, a fetus is as much a person as you or I, and entitled to the same fundamental rights. Now, this definition of personhood may not be the...
The Earth Revolves Around the Sun
It simply cannot be proven that the Earth revolves the Sun. We may chart the projectories of what we perceive the movement of the Earth and the Sun and the other planets to be. But from Earth, we are locked into a fixed point of perception, so that we cannot properly identify the movement of objects, except in relation to ourselves. Hence, we can tell that the distance between the Earth and the Sun increases or decreases in certain patterns, but from this, we may only infer that the Earth rev...
the ACLU is a criminal, communist group and should be disbanded by the justice department

God used Evolution to Create the World.
If you believe God used evolution to create the world then you cannot believe the Bible to be literal. We know that for every sin there must be a penalty paid and that penalty is death. We also know that there was no death before sin, the world was made perfect. Stating the God created the world in millions of years means animals killed each other before there was a sin....

Missionary style is the best way to have sex.
Granted this is all subjective but I think that missionary style is the best way to have sex. I'm not saying that one's sex life should involve exclusively the missionary position. Good sex involves a variety of sex positions and experimentation but this isn't to suggest that there isn't a single superior position. I'll present my basic arguments for this opening section and I hope the Con can offer an alternative position to contend with my assertion. 1.) Missionary is more comfortable for b...
Egg or Chicken?
What came first, the chicken or the egg? This is a very old question. I want to debate on it. The egg came first from the time of the dinosaurs. The chicken came later on....

The 1969 Moon Landing Was A Complete Hoax
During my sophomore year of college, I presented a persuasive speech for a Speech course that changed my opinion about one of the biggest "accomplishments" of the 20th century. What I'm about to state may excite you, anger you, make you ponder, or make you think that I have a screw loose... If you stayed up to watch the 1969 moon landing, you saw cinematic magic at its best. That's right, the moon landing was about as real as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. When I originally did the re...
