Divine Creatio Ex Nihilo is the Best Explanation for the Beginning of the Universe
For the sake of argument, I will conceed that the universe began to exist and had a cause.
Since the burden of proof is on Pro, Pro will make the first argument in this round (the first round is not for acceptance, but for my opponent to present an opening argument). My burden is to falsify, or at the very least, undermine my opponent.

Climate Change Is Not an Imminent Danger
Due to many problems posting arguments for the last debate, Citrakayah and I have decided to restart the debate in order to iron out the structural problems of this debate and because the computer deleted my argument. I extend my opponent the best of luck.

Climate change is not an imminent danger to the general wellbeing of this planet. I will be arguing for this resolution.

0.999999999 etc. does not equal 1
This debate is pretty straight forward and has been done before; however, I believe I am correct in asserting that 0.999 repeating does not equal 1.
