Evolution and Creationism can coexist for now.

In accordance with the framework of the debate, I will use this round to focus on my argumentation on why Evolution and Creationism cannot coexist for now. None of these arguments were made with the purpose of negating or otherwise opposing my the arguments my opponent has made in round 2.Observations:1.) As the resolution states "for now" I will not be trying to prove that the two cannot coexist in the distant past or any possible future, just in the present.2.) As my opponent is making the claim in the debate, he will be required to provide either empirical or logical proof for the coexistance of science and creationism. Should his proof be flawed or insufficient to prove this claim, his stance has failed.3.) As this debate is over Creationism and Evolutionary theory, I simply have to prove that the resolution is false, not the existance or non-existance of any god. 4.) I will also not be debating that Creationism or Evolution is false, simply that the two cannot "live in peace with each other especially as a matter of policy", as stated by the round's definition. As such, this isn't a debate over creationism, simply the coexistence of the two together.Peace:The definition of Coexist states that the Theory of Evolution and Creationism must live in peace with each othere, therefor we must first define what peace is so we know what must be acheived. Dictionary.reference.com defines peace as "a state of mutual harmony between people or groups, especially in personal relations", and so that is what the Pro will have to prove the two can live in in the round. The Scientific Theory:Contrary to normal definitions of theory, a scientific theory is put through intense scrutiny, and if any facets of the theory is found to be false, then the entire theory must be changed or thrown out entirely[1]. Because of this, scientific theories -such as the Theory of Evolution and the Kinetic Theory- are held as true simply because they cannot be proven false. This is just to clarify an argument that came up in a previous debate where the "theory" in scientific theory was taken to mean that it was simply hypothetical and not proven.Creationism by God(s):The belief behind creationism is that one or more omnipotent beings created everything natural in existence. However, creationism has a wide array of branches and theories. Unfortunately, this makes it nearly impossible to argue for all of the different forms, so I will simply focus on the aspect of creationism from the Christian god as it's the most accepted form in Western society[3]. My opponent has already addressed that Creationism is a hypothesis, so I will not providei the proof behind that as it's an agreed upon fact.The Theory of Evolution:The Theory of Evolution states that rather than being created by an omnipotent being, all life forms evolved from an earlier state to what they are now. This is a widely-held scientific fact[2], and it's in direct contradiction to Creationism because of it's nature, but I'll get more into that in the upcoming section.Seven Days of Creation:The majority of the days do not directly cause interference between the two, but when we approach the fifth and sixth days, we can see direct contradiction that leads to fighting between the two. On the fifth day, the Bible States that God created numbers of birds and sea creatures, and on the Sixth he created vast numbers of land animals, including Man, and from Man he created Woman[4]. One conflict is the span of time as the Theory of Evolution states that it takes millions of years rather than days to create new life, but as many Biblical scholars believe that the days were most likely metaphorical and simply represented time periods I will ignore that argument. Instead, I will address the direct creation of life. The creationist argument here is that first God directly created marine and air life, and then directly created all land life. However, the Theory of Evolution states that life originally evolved in water, and then eventually migrated onto land as the marine ecosystems became competitive[5]. This leads to a direct point of conflict between the two theories, and as such they do not live in peace.The second conflict that occurs is the creation of Mankind, specifically. The Bible states that during the Sixth day that Man was created at the same time as the other land animals. However, the belief in the Theory of Evolution is that first Land animals evolved, then humans began to evolve as they split from the common ancestor we hold with the apes[6]. This second difference is another point of contention between evolutionists and creationists, and shows that the two cannot live in harmony.Because of these differences that cause contention between the two theories, it has been proven that the two theories cannot live in harmony, and so cannot coexist. I thank my opponent for the debate and anxiously await rebuttals.Works Cited:1.) http://simple.wikipedia.org...;2.) http://www.stephenjaygould.org...;3.) http://www.talkorigins.org...;4.)
