Prove me right

Leftii
Chthonian


I would like to thank my opponent for accepting this debate.

Pro's task is to prove that it is possible to prove a theory. My task is to disprove the theory. Pro can choose the theories and how many he wishes to put forward. In round 4, no more theories can be put forward.

Prove: Give an ultimate theory which cannot be contradicted.
Disprove: Give an alternative theory which contradicts the former theory.

Simple.

Should the God hypothesis be a Scientific theory?

kenballer
RobDeSenelstun

FIRST ROUND IS ACCEPTANCE AND RULES ONLY Understand that my approach is suppose to be of a scientist using the scientific method not a philosopher like William Lane Craig and other debaters attempt to do, So its a little bit different. I am arguing that the God Hypothesis should be a scientific theory. In principle, I technically have all the Burden of Proof, but for the purpose of winning and losing this debate, my opponent must explain why it should NOT be a scientific theory. In other w...

Philosophy: Determinism Accurately Describes Reality

GeoLaureate8
Danielle

In this debate, my opponent is taking the hard determinist stance that everything in the whole of existence is predetermined. My duty is to demonstrate that some things are not determined, and I will also present a case for free will. Definitions: Determinism - The philosophical doctrine that every state of affairs, including every human event, act, and decision is the inevitable consequence of antecedent states of affairs. [1] Free Will - The philosophical doctrine that the conduct of...

The USFG should help save the planet by flooding Death Valley with sea water

Death Valley is a huge graben, which is the geological term for a sunken fragment of the Earth's crust. It covers 200-square-miles and is surrounded by mountains. Death Valley is virtually parched of water because it receives less than 2 inches of rain per year, all of which evaporates very quickly in temperatures that can reach as high as 134*F. Death Valley also has the lowest elevation on the American continent at 282ft below sea level. So how much water do you think it would take to fill...

Human Life Begins at Fertilization

JoshBrahm
e.gibson1987

I believe by the end of the fertilization process, (instigated by two human beings) what follows is this: a living, whole organism of the human species. I believe the entity is biologically alive. I believe the entity is a whole organism. I believe the entity is biologically human.

There are still some who believe at least one of the statements I've just made are false. I welcome anybody who feels that way to debate the issue with me.

While there's much more to the abo...

Scientific Evidence Supports the Theory of Evolution

Microsuck
Anti-atheist

Anti-Atheist has sent me this challenge; however, I am re-sending the challenge for several reasons:

1. In the comment section, Anti-atheist requested that I post my arguments in round 1. However, I did not see that until after I posted my acceptance
2. I would like to revise the arguments from the debates I have done in order to clarify a few things and to a...

Hi, I'd first like to say that I'm not a professional Christian Apologist Scientis,t so if you want to really talk to someone who knows their stuff talk to them. I would like to cite the fallacies that neither of us should use and the arguments I suggest my opponent not use [http://www.logicalfallacies.info/] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies] [http://www.theskepticsguide.org/resources/logicalfallacies.aspx] [http://www.fallacyfiles.org/whatarff.html] [http://utminers.utep.edu/omwi...

Abiogenesis Is Improbable

SuburbiaSurvivor
RoyLatham

This round is for acceptance, definitions, and rules only.

Abiogenesis:
"The supposed *spontaneous* development of living organisms from nonliving matter. Also called autogenesis, spontaneous generation."-The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language

(Emphasis on spontaneous added so as to avoid a debate on semantics. This keeps in line with the original definition sinc...
