Creationism has made verified predictions.
I would like to use mostly the same form as used by Microsuck, because I like it. Definitions: These are the definitions that will be used throughout this debate. Theory - A well supported, conceptual framework that encompasses a large body of scientific facts, inferences, data, and observations and explains them in a coherent way (Fairbans, 2012) Predictions-In science, a prediction is a rigorous, often quantitative, statement, forecasting what will happen under specific conditions...
the earth could be flat
first I would like to say before you think I'm an idiot, that I don't think the Earth is flat. I'm just going to prove that it could be lol....
Taking a Stand Against Climate Change with Greener Technologies
If you were born after February 1985, [1] you have never experienced a colder than average month. This, coupled with obvious decrease in Arctic, Antarctic, and Greenland ice sheets is a frightening sight. [2] It may seem obvious to most that this is a terrible thing, as sea levels rise and weather patterns change, we could be in a peck of trouble. However, there are always those who believe that Climate Change is just a hoax, thought up by Liberal politicians and science advocates. To them, I...
There is No good evidence for evolution
There is no good evidence to support the theory of evolution. The Six Meanings of Evolution 1. Cosmic evolution: the origin of time, space, and matter from nothing in the "big bang" 2. Chemical evolution: all elements "evolved" from hydrogen. 3. Stellar evolution: stars and planets formed from gas clouds. 4. Organic evolution: life begins from inanimate matter. 5. Macro-evolution: animals and plants change from one type into another 6. Micro-evolution: variations form within the "kind"...
Evolution vs Creationism
Evolution is the better explanation for the diversity of life on Earth than creationism. The evidence for evolution is extensive: DNA, fossils, endogenous retroviruses, and to the average person like me the most convincing and easiest piece of evidence is the vestigial organ. Creationism on the other hand only points out unexplained phenomena or certain features of animals that evolution has not explained yet, or has explained and ingnores the claim entirely to proof their case....

1st round acceptenc 2nd round opening arguments 3rd round 1st rebuttals 4th round 2nd rebuttals 5th no new arguments, closing statements This is not a debate about whether or not Christianity is committed to creationism, or geocentrism or direct teleology in general. This is a debate about the nature of the historical impact of Christianity on the development of science. I must show a positive relationship historically between Christianity and the development of science. My opponent must...

The Great Flood Was an Actual Historical Event
Do you mind if we do this resolution instead? Full Resolution: The great flood was an actual historical event. BoP is shared. Definitions: The Great Flood: "Noah's flood - (Biblical) the great deluge that is said in the Book of Genesis to have occurred in the time of Noah; it was brought by God upon the earth because of the wickedness of human beings."[1] Historical Event: "Based on or concerned with events in history."[2] Rules: 1. The first round is for acceptance. 2...
The fundamentalist doctrine of "Young Earth Creationism" is incompatible with cosmic realities.
This will be a debate on the validity of Young Earth Creationism, or YEC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Earth_creationism).
This will be a debate not on the definitive age of our universe as proposed by scientists (which varies only slightly relative to the times which are proposed), but instead to show that the...
