Human Personhood Begins at and by Human Conception (fertilization)
This debate will focus on the (U.S.) LEGAL requirements for personhood. I am taking the PRO side of the debate as I will argue that our laws should and to some extent already do recognize the fact that human 'personhood' begins at conception. My opponent will be taking the position of Con and will try to argue that personhood does not and or should not begin at conception. This debate is significant in that our Constitution under the 'equal protections' clause of the 14th Amendment is by wa...
Gay Marriage.
(Using my same standpoints as all are valid and relevant.) Separation of Church and State works both ways, therefore on legal grounds? This issue should be locked away indefinitely. Gays bring up the "fact" that it is a "Civil Rights" issue. First off, marriage was created by straights. As a patent owner, do you not have rights to said patent? As the creators of marriage, do we not have the right to reserve it? Do you have any idea how many issues this causes? So if I had a birthday party...
P1: All Time is of the Essence; P2: All Essence Precedes Existence; C: All Existence Precedes Time
I am arguing that the below argument and the equivalent title make up a valid syllogism. Premise 1: all Space-Time is of the Essence (timing and meeting all the deadlines are essential and required for the end is near) Premise 2: all Essence Precedes Existence (before something can exist it must exist in the mind of a creator) Conclusion: all Existence precedes Space-Time (the mind of a creator precedes the universe) Let's have at it! REFERENCES: 1. Time is of the Essence: http:/...
The Kalam Cosmological Argument is Invalid
The classical Kalam Cosmological Argument (KCA) is as follows[1]:1. Everything that has a beginning of its existence has a cause of its existence; 2. The universe has a beginning of its existence; 3. Therefore: The universe has a cause of its existence. I will be arguing that the KCA is not only unsound, but is invalid! That is, even if the premises (#1 and #2) were to be true, the conclusion (#3) does not logically follow from them. Beginning of Existence Herein lies the crux of the argume...
i will get the fewest votes in this debate
i will get the fewest votes in this debate. when the poll shows that i got the fewest votes.... my affirmation will be affirmed. that means that i really won this debate even if i got the fewest votes. when most people are voting against me, that could only mean that the voter participating in voting against me, is contradicting himself. that is, i will have won the debate so how can you be voting agaisnt me? the only way to ensure that you are in the right as a voter, is to vote "pro...
