Evolution is Flawed
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...
Should the God hypothesis be a Scientific theory?
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...
The Hockey Stick is Bad Science
I propose to argue against the proposition that "The Hockey Stick is Bad Science". My position will be that the so called Hockey Stick graph as originally developed in 1998 by Mann,...
Evidence that mutation is the cause of change in evolution has not been proven
The National Academy of Science says "mutation is the ultimate source of genetic variation"(1) and that "Evolution explains natural phenomena by building on observations that can be tested and analyzed"(2) Case- My position is that the experiments that have been conducted and observations from the fossil records do not support that change from one species to another has occured by this method. For clarification- a species is animals that can breed with each other, so by defintion the finches on...
Animal Testing
I am Con for this debate because I am against animal testing and I believe it should be stopped. Rounds 1) Accepting and presenting our arguments to the case 2) Rebuttal 3) Rebuttal 4) Rebuttal 5) Concluding our arguments. Animal testing is a cruel way of trying to find results that aren't always trustworthy. Whether the testing is drug tests, cosmetic tests, or toxicology tests they are all unnecessary and cruel to the animals. I think I knew way of testing should be considered...
We need to abandon the theory of evolution because it has not been able to explain the diversity of
When I am speaking of the diversity of life, I am talking about whales,monkeys,fish in all thier varieties,birds,dinosaurs,etc. I am not talking about small changes within a species such as small changes in a beak. I am talking about new species coming forth and so far,evolution has not given us a satisfactory answer.It is time to find a new paradigm to work within that will be more effective....

Humans are the main cause of global warming
The CON must prove humans do not play a significant role in global warming. I recommend a experienced debater that opposes global warming to debate with me. EDIT: Per Ron-Paul's request, the resolution is changed and the voting period is now 1 month. My Starting Arguments: Yes, the Earth is warming. Since the early 20th century, Earth's mean surface temperature has increased by about 0.8 "C (1.4 "F), with about two-thirds of the increase occurring since 1980.[1] Is it caused mainly...
Time does not exist.
Time is a relativistic construct. The past times are memories and the future times are ideas. The only real moment in which we live is static, and anything else is merely a perception....
To stop the usage of fossil fuel is the only way to combat global warming
Dear Opponent, Thanks for accepting for this debate. Let's start the debate. Fossil fuel has some major impacts in our lifes. It usage has resulted in economic development, job opportunities and environmental issues that is industrial revolution. Today, I will be speaking for the topic. The temperatures have been rising steadily but we have to stop it.rising temperatures is turning the life of living organisms. I agree that there are other causes of global warming but fossil fuel is the m...
