evolution is true. prove me wrong

everyone came from a single cell organism and then that organism slowly "Evolved" and things split apart. We came from common ancestors, ape like beings. Not actually apes today but we both share a "common Ancestor". We have the "Skulls" of the common ancestors (Homo erectus, etc... and what proof do you have of any god/gods.... none, only books made 4000 years ago when people did not know what space even was. Or can u prove me wrong.

The Ultimate Fight!!! Goku vs. Superman!! Goku wins!!

He references abilities that are mostly known, his personal views (without evidence! ) and thats it. He brings his opinion, without any evidence, that Super Saiyan 4 Goku would lose to Superman, although he obviously had grammatical error as he said ‘Goku's strongest form is Super Saiyan 4 [1]. In this form he is very powerful, but not nearly so much so that he could even put a scratch on Goku. ' No scenario, no evidence, nothing. Your reference is laughable! Wikia? I could just as easily go onto the site and change it to say anything! ! It is good for laughs and such, but here? If you send a link, it must be reliable. Wikia is not. The powers you mention are well known, (except for the mind control one) but seem pointless, if only to lengthen your post. If you referenced them to something applicable to this, then OK, but you didn't. Ultimately, your ‘response' seems put together at the last minute. You don't mention my post, let alone reply how it would play out in your opinion. My argument still stands tall. Please respond to it and bring your own questions and answers. Keep it together for Round 3! !
The Ultimate Fight!!! Goku vs. Superman!! Goku wins!!

It is my contention that Goku at his strongest would not be able to defeat Superman in a fight. Goku's strongest form is Super Saiyan 4 [1]. In this form he is very powerful, but not nearly so much so that he could even put a scratch on Goku. Here is a list of Superman's applicable powers [2]: * Strength so great that he is capable of moving multiple planets at the same time * Flight * Super speed, so fast that he is capable of travelling through time * Invulnerability to the point that he can withstand flying through stars * Super vision that included x-ray and microscopic capabilities * Hearing so good that he is capable of listening to conversations from the other side of the planet * Breath capable of freezing objects, generating hurricane force winds, and holding it indefinitely for underwater and space travel * Mental abilities that gave him genius level intelligence and the ability to focus his sensory powers * The ability to hypnotize his opponents to control their actions and erase their memories * Ability to survive indefinitely without food or water * Regenerative abilities so great that he was able to heal himself after being reduced to a skeleton by a specially designed nuclear weapon that could blot out the sun and disrupt his powers. Goku will not have access to this weapon. Now, I am a fan of Goku just as much as the next guy, but there's no way that a mortal could be victorious against a being this immensely powerful.

The Ultimate Fight!!! Goku vs. Superman!! Goku wins!!

I haven't been on this site that long, but I'm pretty sure you don't get to lay any terms or clarifications. .. . I don't want to sound like a douche, but hey. Anyway, they can be in character and still fight. Any bit of an imagination allows it. First off, I am telling everyone, I think Superman is faster and physically stronger, obviously Goku wins in the spiritual department (ki). But the ability to, lets say, run faster than your opponent doesn't mean you're Faster in a fight. Not even close! ! Reflex, technique and thinking on your feet is something Goku has way over the man of steel. Not to say Superman doesn't have them, but that Goku is far superior in them. This and Gokus ability to sense energy means he will always be able to tell where his opponent is! Strength is also, in a fight, measured not in your physical power, but you're ability to manipulate your own and, in some martial arts like Judo, your opponents. Goku is a martial arts master in just about every form. He sees it and learns it instantly! No need for reference to this ability, but for the sake of argument, when Goku first learns the Kamehameha. A argument ender I once saw was that Superman could simply lift Goku into space and hold on till he dies. Obviously, any Dragonball Z fan knows that Goku can use instant transmission to get away. And that he doesn't need to put his hands to his forehead to do it, unless he wants to be precise over a long distance. Example, when fighting Cell, Goku is floating above Cell, on the verge of the last syllable for the Kamehameha, then teleports below him and blows him away. Both his hands were in a cup by his sides and he was concentrating intensely on it. I eagerly await the response from my opponent. P. S There are guys called SUPERMAN! ?! Awesome!
The Ultimate Fight!!! Goku vs. Superman!! Goku wins!!

I apologize for posting so late. I am doing a lot of "end of the year" things for school. I will now let Pro present his arguments, but I also have some terms and clarifications for the debate: 1.) It does not make sense to think that they should remain completely in-character. If they did that then they wouldn't be fighting. So instead of in-character, I propose that they act as they normally would in a fight with one of their opponents. 2.) The model for comparison should be them at their strongest. 3.) No semantics, Goku and Superman are both well-known characters. Don't claim that some guy named Superman (they exist) couldn't win in a fight against Goku. I now open the floor for my opponent.
The Ultimate Fight!!! Goku vs. Superman!! Goku wins!!

I have looked at countless debates of this topic, and I believe I have a fool-proof plan that is fair and reasonable! Send only your greatest debater. P.S The argument I use has worked twice so far. Rules are simple; they must remain in character, they are on the Earth, and they are going all out. Finally, please don't arrive and give liberal links, you know, that are missing a crucial point that may damage or refute your point
The Ultimate Fight!!! Goku vs. Superman!! Goku wins!!

. . . . ~~~~~~~ Rebuttals ~~~~~~~ ///Also, the one with The Flash were good, showing that Superman had reflexes, but I already stated that he had good reflexes, but weren't near the level of Goku. /// Let's do the math, The Flash is capable of throwing hundreds of punches at a single opponent in one second [1]. The source doesn't give a specific number so I'll do the calculations with a few of them, the equation is (one second)/(number of punches)=(Superman's reflex speed) * At 200 punches in one second Superman's reflex speed is: .005 seconds * At 500 punches in one second Superman's reflex speed is: .002 seconds * At 700 punches in one second Superman's reflex speed is: .00142857143 seconds This is plenty fast, and since all my opponent has done is claim that Goku is faster without proof I would say that they are on about equal footing in this department. ~ ///That means, Goku is easily as powerful as a Super Saiyan 2 in his base form, meaning he will definitely get a 50 time power increase when he transforms into Super Saiyan 1. Then the rest is just gravy J. /// More speculation, there's no doubt that Goku does get stronger when go upgrades to his higher levels of Super Saiyan, but without a standard that means nothing. ~ ///Goku can move 288,461 (roughly) times faster than light. /// Where is this number coming from? I don't see any references that give it credence. ~ ///With this technique, Goku can go anywhere, charge the attack, and come back and blow Supes away. /// Not anywhere, anywhere on Earth. This was your term not mine. Superman has super hearing and speed. There is nowhere on earth that Goku could go and be safe from Superman for more than a second or two. Travelling across the Earth is nothing compared to traveling TRILLIONS of miles in seconds. ~ With that I conclude the debate and leave our fate up to the voters.

The Ultimate Fight!!! Goku vs. Superman!! Goku wins!!

. . . I thank my opponent for his response and again say that the reason that my responses are slow is because of high school graduation stuff. Primarily open houses and graduation parties. ~~~~~~~ Rebuttals ~~~~~~~ Since my opponent continues to stubbornly reject my source I will oblige him with some additional ones. Superman dodging a punch thrown by The Flash, effectively demonstrating his reflexes. [2] Superman travelling trillions of miles in seconds. [1] Superman destroying a galaxy with a sneeze. [3] Superman becoming dazed for a micro-second after surviving a supernova [4] ~ The rest of my opponent's points go to show how strong Goku is, which is all well and good. The only problem is that my opponent's speculation about the power level of Goku is exactly that. Speculation that holds no argumentative weight. My opponent also mentions the spirit bomb, which is a very powerful attack with one notable drawback. It takes a long time to use [5]. Goku is not invulnerable to physical attacks like Superman is, as is evidenced by the fact that Goku dies multiple times throughout the Dragon Ball Z canon. He would be unable to use this attack to the potential needed to do anything to Superman. As evidenced by the comic exerpt Superman is capable of taking a direct hit from the kind of clast that can create stars and form black holes. Which is what supernovas do [6]. They are also capable of quickly releasing the same amount of energy that is emitted from a sun over it's entire lifespan. This is a lot of energy and is likely more than is capable for a mortal to handle and generate effectively in a fight. While Goku may be able to eventually generate this kind of power he needs time, and lots of it. While we're on the subject of black holes [7] here's a comic exerpt of a Superman incarnation that is not Pre-Crisis (the strongest incarnation) holding back the forces of a black hole [8]. To show that Goku would be able to even possibly harm Superman my opponent would have to show that Goku is capable of generating more than this kind of force with his non-time-consuming attacks. Something he can not do. The resolution is negated. [1] http://img72.imageshack.us... [2] http://www.elmarginado.com... [3] http://img57.imageshack.us... [4] http://img168.imageshack.us...

The Ultimate Fight!!! Goku vs. Superman!! Goku wins!!

Thanks to my opponent for his response. These reasons are the big reasons why you should all vote PRO! Your reference is not reliable. Because it's a website that ANYONE can change. ANYONE can say ANYTHING about ANYONE. In college, if you say ‘I got my sources from wikipedia' the teacher will not accept it. What if I decided that I wanted to change Supermans strength to 50 ton max? And had a reference? Would I be right? Second, you also haven't given any source for Supermans strength that can eclipse Gokus, but for the sake of argument, I will do what many DBZ fans believe is suicide. I will go against Pre-Crisis Superman. The man who sneezed away a galaxy. And win. How? Read on… First off, strength wise, at a level of 10, Goku has been able to lift small cars over his head and throw them, see Dragonball episode 1. Now, according to this . http://www.dbzwarriors.com... Super Saiyan Goku has a power level of 150,000,000. I implore you to focus on the from the Daizenshu, as the rest seems to be speculation. Then the other three, as we are using the most powerful forms that are approved by Akira Toriyama (an example of non approved forms are Super Saiyan 5 and 6 from Dragonball AF) multiply that level even more, although the exact amount of multiplication is not officially said, but is obviously more than 10 times each. That means his power level is AT LEAST 150000000000, not counting his base power up throughout the series. Now, imagine how powerful he is now. Next, speed. From the episode 127. Quicker Than Lightning, Goku is able to dodge a lightning bolt at a Power Level of 260, use earlier reference for proof. Using the last point, imagine how fast he is by the end. Now, I usually save this ‘till last, but I'll say it now. In the Movie Super Android 13! Goku defeats Android 13 by creating a Spirit Bomb and absorbing the energy with all the energy on Earth. If you debate whether or not it was all the power on Earth, it will only hurt your argument. Now, by the end of DBGT, overseen and approved by Akira Toriyama, Goku makes a Spirit Bomb to defeat Omega Shenron out of all the energy in the Universe. Now, the Spirit Bomb doesn't work on those who are pure of heart. Whether Superman is pure of heart is a debate for another time. Lets say he is, then Goku could absorb the energy and use it as his own. His power would be unlike anything ever seen This wouldn't be necessary as Gokus power would be more than enough to deal with Superman. You wanted evidence that Goku could hurt Superman? Done. Please be quicker with your response .
women alone can stop war.

origin of life :women. origin of love:women . origin of results of love including war: women then very simply and obviously oorigin and therefore growth and end of solution must include womenalon> since women are the only category with double stars : "beauty and the brains" . sshe is that 'one' super entity who can altogether dissolve any heavily concentrated anxious situations. but since there is this huge chauvinistic males with even huger egos which eclipses the backsteage dramas of the usually victorious WOMEN. THUS WOMEN ALONE CAN STOP WAR no matter the huge big fellas deny it or not.
women alone can stop war.

dear ace if theres no sound doesnt mean theres nobody around. my statement doesnt negate the fact thatmen r extinct and so obviously ur assumptions and hence ur thesis is very much invalid. now to the rest of my argument. "Women are part of the problem, and hence women must be & can be part of the solution" For this reason, it is imperative that women"'be" granted a seat at any table where war or peace are being discussed. It was the feminist movement in the United States and Europe that pressured the U.S. not to recognize the Taliban in Afghanistan, before the Taliban's links to terrorism were well known. women are a moderating force for fundamentalism, Islamic extremism, all kinds of extremism. and yeah ! plz acquant urselves with backstege drama of the indian independence( nehrus bond with lady mountbatten)and the like , for the reason i specified "alone"
women alone can stop war.

I don't exactly understand to mean 'women alone'. I guess these words to mean 'No male live on the earth, only female live on the earth.' If my assumption is wrong, please point out next round. Based on this assumption, I can have you a question. : If only women live on Earth, money and land still remain cause to war. You said the solution that 'a little flirtatious smile, a soft little cry, a warm word - gameover'. But how? Please elaborate on this more detail.
women alone can stop war.

land,money and women - 3 little words that can set canons firing and missiles flying. a look into history will convince anyone about the top statement. therefore it would be highly invalid to refuse that. of the 3 the only living and moving thing is women. (i.e. voluntary movement) she can talk (and talk dramatically)enough to alter major decisions. there are cases where nations have attained freedom, slaves let free, wars avoided. a little flirtatious smile, a soft lille cry, a warm word - gameover . decisions amended due to emotional errors. wat say, right na????
intelligence=see

Intelligence is defined in many ways, revolving around the idea of one's capacity for logic, abstract thought, self awareness, communication and learning. 'Past = contrast?!' that doesn't even make any sense. Please elaborate on your arguments because you're not doing very well. Not only that, but you seem to introduce new things to debates that are completely irrelevant to the moot of your debates. Do one thing for me, explain yourself on why you think the past is contrast.
Pc (computers with the windows operating system) are better than Macs

Though the PC is usually the most common computer this world has to offer that does not make it better. PC is generally meant as everything other than a Mac. I will be narrowing it down to HP's. I have had an HP before and to tell the truth, they are bad. When you first buy the HP you start off great, the system works perfectly and nothing is messed up. After about a year the HP breaks down and does not work smoothly anymore. This comes from downloading different applications onto the computer. Yes, with Norten Security it doesn't happen as much but it will eventually break down even further. Windows 1, 2, Vita and 7 were all just additions to the original windows 1, which was made in the late 1900's. Up until now, with windows 8, we have had basically the same thing. Windows breaks down easily while Mac, has more firewalls and lass viruses. I have a Mac now and I have had it for about 5 years, it is slowly beginning to slow down. Macs are better than PC's. P.S. I know you will probably not argue for the rest of this debate, but if you read this please argue with me. ;)
The Multiverse Theory Cannot Be Proven True Nor False

Abortion basically is the act of terminating the life of a developing fetus/embryo/baby. http://www.merriam-webster.com... Anyone who says abortion is murder, in reality is using the word incorrectly depending on where they live and what they believe. If they were to say that according to Biblical doctrine, then yes it is murder, but if it is in California where the state legalizes the act and the person does not believe in God, then no it is not murder according to them. But you are essentially ending 1 or more lives (depending on how many twins are in the womb). If that were to happen to your wife, you might feel disgusted with the child and hearing the news of that tragic event and want it dead to dispose of the developing fetus, but that is still a precious life. I wouldn"t want to be in the position of the baby (life or death) just because of what happened to my mother. Yes rape is awful, but we need to not remain regretful on the past and focus on the present and future. If my mom was raped and didn"t want me due to flashbacks of the day she was brutally raped, I would rather not cause her emotional pain and be left in an orphanage. If the child knew the benefits from living life and the parts about life that make us hate it, the child might want to live or choose death for the mom"s sake but since its brain is not that developed it cannot hope to do that or comprehend that until years later. What"s wrong with registering the child for adoption? At least he/she gets to live and not be killed without it"s consent. There"s no reason to kill it especially when it has not done any physical harm to your body. If a prostitute got herself pregnant, why didn"t she use protection if she didn"t want to endure the possibility of getting pregnant & having a fetus in her womb? Because it was her fault for getting pregnant in the first place, she should not kill the child just to essentially "dump the responsibility" if she was merciful she would go with giving birth and register the child for adoption and/or leave it in an orphanage rather taking the child"s life for no reason at all. Though this is considered to be rare, but if the mother"s life is threatened, though I am against abortion, I am also pro-choice. The state nor anyone has the right to take away the rights of another individual, and since the baby is apart of the mom"s body until birth, its her call. But if there is a way to prevent ANYONE from dying, even risky, its better to preserve life through risk than subjectively choose who you believe is more important because ALL life is important. This is my stance on abortion.
Smoking Cigarretes Should Be Illegal.

My argument today is whether smoking should be illegalized, which it should not. Smoking should stay legal for several reasons. Health Most people think smoking is bad for your health, but many people don't know that smoking can have positive effects on your health too. Firstly, let's talk about second hand smoke. 2nd hand smoke is one of the main reasons people think cigarettes should be illegal. Well, 2nd hand smoke can only kill you if you are constantly exposed to it. So, if you walk by a smoker at Walmart, you are NOT going to die. Also, smoking causes 'air pollution'. That is hogwash. A single drive causes more pollution than a smoker in a YEAR!!! Now, to the actual smoker's health. Smoking contains several chemicals in it, but did you know that several carcinogens found in cigarettes are found in carrots, peppers, strawberries, tomatoes, onions, and grapefruit. Nicotine, another component in cigarettes that most people think of as BAD, promises against brain diseases. It lowers Parkinson's disease by 60%.Schizophrenics (which consists of about 4 million Americans) can switch on a brain receptor so that it helps filter information if they smoke enough nicotine. Smoking has positive effects on ulcerative colitis(disorder found mostly in non-smokers;inflammation of the stomach lining), recover better from heart attacks, and their immune system attacks viruses quicker than a non-smoker. Freedom of Choice The following messages are warnings shown on cigarettes packs: Caution: Cigarette Smoking May be Hazardous to Your Health (1966–1970) Warning: The Surgeon General Has Determined that Cigarette Smoking is Dangerous to Your Health (1970–1985) SURGEON GENERALS WARNING: Smoking Causes Lung Cancer, Heart Disease , Emphysema , And May Complicate Pregnancy. (1985–) SURGEON GENERALS WARNING: Quitting Smoking Now Greatly Reduces Serious Risks to Your Health. (1985–) SURGEON GENERALS WARNING: Smoking By Pregnant Women May Result in Fetal Injury, Premature Birth , And Low Birth Weight. (1985–) SURGEON GENERALS WARNING: Cigarette Smoke Contains Carbon Monoxide . (1985–) As you can see, smoking companies DO WARN smokers out there. So, the smoker has the ability to say 'no'. Smokers smoke voluntarily, so any harm to themselves falls under their own responsibility. If Made Illegal... Prohibition in the United States, also known as The Noble Experiment, was the period from 1920 to 1933, during which the sale, manufacture, and transportation of alcohol was banned nationally. The results were disastrous. Crime and controversy arose during this period of time. If you ban smoking, the same thing will happen. Smoking is most of the time started through peer pressure. Making smoking illegal will make smoking more attractive. Also, if smoking becomes illegal, it won't stop smokers from smoking. Same way some people in the United States do crack, and other drugs, smokers will find a way to smoke.
