God is guilty of collusion to sacrifice a child in the case of Jepthah

izbo10
ReformedArsenal

This debate will have me arguing like a prosecuting attorney trying to prove that Yahweh is guilty of collusion to sacrifice a human being in the book of Judges. My opponent will defend Yahweh, unlike a court of law this is not beyond reasonable doubt, though I think it will be shown, but who presents a better case and which appears more likely. First round will be acceptence of terms and any questions which I will address in comments.

Mufasa (the EEPster) should shave his head.

Paramountdesktop
TheSkeptic

Why should Mufasa shave his head? 1. His huge hair is a breeding ground for bacteria. It is impossible for him to thoroughly wash his hair because he has never learned strategy from teaching figures. A strategy does not start out perfect. Parents generally do not shower with their children, so strategies were invented and never corrected. And think about it...how can such a huge mass be washed? Generally, boys don't care that much about their hygiene. They neglect to do certain things tha...

Evolution and The Bible are incompatible

KeytarHero
InquireTruth

This is a debate about whether or not the Bible supports Evolution. This is not a debate on whether the evidence supports Evolution or Creation (or even Intelligent Design). Merely that the Bible does not support a belief in Evolution. As such, I would ask that my opponent be a Christian, supposedly of the Old-Earth/Theistic Evolutionary kind.

Also, this is regarding macro-Evolution (i.e. the gradual change of one species into another).

No semantic arguments, please.

Flaws are mostly objective

To avoid any semantics, I offer these 2 definitions as conditions of acceptance.

Flaw: a feature that is regarded as unfavorable

Objective: based on facts rather than thoughts or opinions

Round 1 is for acceptance.

On balance, theism is more plausible than naturalism.

J.Kenyon
Cerebral_Narcissist

In this debate, I'm taking the Pro side in Devil's advocacy. Many of my fellow atheists disregard theism without adequately understanding it. This is a mistake. In recent times, brilliant minds have applied analytic philosophy to Christian theology, creating an incredibly sophisticated and nuanced worldview. Owing to the their efforts, it has experienced a renaissance in contemporary philosophical circles. ============ Reformed epistemology ============ There are three common responses t...

The Problem of Animal Suffering.

Kinesis
KRFournier

:: Intro :: In this debate, I shall argue that the existence of vast amounts of animal suffering is a compelling reason to reject the existence of a theistic, omni-benevolent, omnipotent and omniscient God. This debate is targeted specifically at Christians, and Christian responses to the argument. For those who are interested, the inspiration for this debate comes from the chapter ' The Darwinian Problem of Evil' in the recent atheistic anthology 'the Christian Delusion' [1] :: The Argume...

Resolution: Endogenous Retroviruses (ERVs) confirm common ancestry (which is evidence for evolution). Definition: "Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are retroviruses derived from ancient infections of germ cells in humans, mammals and other vertebrates; as such their proviruses are passed on to the next generation and now remain in the genome. Retroviruses are viruses that reverse-transcribe their RNA into DNA for integration into the host's genome."(1) Proposition 1. Humans and Chimpanzees s...
