| About Me: | If you want me to vote on a debate, post it on my profile or message me, though I can't promise I'll vote in your favor. If you want to debate me on anything, I'm mainly interested in philosophical or religious debates. Ethical debates always interest me as well as debates regarding God. I'm atheist but con most of the arguments against God's existence so I can play the theist side on some topics. Plus I'm firmly against New Atheism, so I'd be open to debating that as well. I'm also interested in epistemological debates, more so regarding whether anything can be known for certain which I am against. I'd also take either side on the free-will debate, though I'm still working out my exact position so I'd prefer to debate in favor of compatiblism when I'm more ready. Other than that, I enjoy a good musical debate, especially if it's related to Pink Floyd or progressive rock. |

Natural Selection Disproves Theism
Round one for acceptance and definitions. DefinitionsNatural selection is the gradual, non-random process by which biological traits become either more or less common in a population as a function of differential reproduction of their bearers. God is a maximally great being whose great making properties consist of knowing all truths, being all good, and having the ability to actualize any logical facts.
