No School, Public or Private, Should be Allowed to Teach Religion

atheistman
Brock_Meyer

There is no evidence that the claims of religious books are true, and a lot of the claims go against scientific evidence. Since a school shouldn't be allowed to teach something that doesn't have proof or at least evidence to back it up, religion should not be taught in any educational facility....

I Challenge Again On God's Existence -- God Exists And People Need To Know That

GodSands
Tatarize

Again another argument on God's existence. But I will not stop debating the truth. Atheists love these debates on God's existence because they want to know more of God. You treat it like God does not exist. Because you say there is no God. But why do you? You do not know. When you understand the concept of God is it upsetting, once you get the concept you hate sin, and because of the truth you are aware of the punishment which is hell. This is so destressing in that you know you can save...

Education should be a privilege, not a right

dvhoose
Bricheze

Before I begin, I'd like to take a moment and thank my opponent, whoever he/she should be, and I wish you the best of luck. With that said, my position is pretty simple: I believe that the "free and public education" all Americans have a right to should become a privilege instead of a right. Article XII of the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man (1948) states that: "Every person has the right to an education, which should be based on the principles of liberty, morality...

Public schools provide better education than homeschooling.

MTGandP
Turtel

DEFINITIONS By the resolution, I mean public schools and homeschooling in general, not in any specific case. For the sake of simplicity, let's limit this debate to high school (9th to 12th grade) in the United States. (My definitions, with help from Merriam-Webster) Public School: A school paid for by the government that is free to attend. Home School: (verb) To teach school subjects at home; (noun) An education center in which the teacher is the parent of the student and the student i...

Global Warming Exists

heyitsjay
InfraRedEd

For my opening statement/introduction, I will continue by defining the main topic, global warming. "Global Warming": Is the dramatic increase in global temperature in both the air and ocean. Global warming is caused by the excessive release of co2 (carbon dioxide) into the air. These released amounts of carbon dioxide gather in the ozone layer, which is supposed to protect the world from the sun's dangerous ultra violent rays. When the co2 is in the ozone layer, instead of defending the w...

School voucher systems create an unbalance in the education system.

Unbalance - to put out of balance http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/unbalance I stand in affirmation that school voucher systems create an unbalance in the education system. Information on school vouchers can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_voucher Governments have already set up public schools so that kids may receive an education for free. Now governments are sending school vouchers to kids so they can go to private schools, because some of their public sc...

One plus One is Two

jameshuh1234
sdcharger

*Note* This deabte is one the sdcharger and I have trying to start for a long time, but had to start over again and again, because of the mistakes made. People think that one plus one is two. And that is true, but if you think about it, it can be mathematically proved wrong. 1. 0.999... =1, so 0.999...+0.999...=2? That is incorrect because no numbers possible can be added to get a 2 in the digits before that 0999 +0999 ------------- 1998, still not a two in the digits. I will no...
