Differing Views of the Origin of Life Should Be Given Equal Time In Schools

More importantly, Con would like to Pro for taking the reasonable position and agreeing that Con’s position was right. In Round 2 and Round 3, Pro choose not to defend the position that DIFFERING VIEWS OF THE ORIGIN OF LIFE SHOULD BE GIVEN EQUAL TIME. It appears that over the course of the debate, Pro came to see the validity in Con’s argument. Simple logic demonstrates why Con won the debate: First, Pro’s position is: DIFFERING VIEWS OF THE ORIGIN OF LIFE SHOULD BE GIVEN EQUAL TIME Second, [Scientology’s Xenu the Alien Origin of Life story/The Flying Spaghetti Monster Origin of Life Story/Kevin the Pedophile Origin of Life Story] are all examples of DIFFERING VIEW(s) OF THE ORIGIN OF LIFE Pro not does support this DIFFERING VIEWS Therefore, Pro’s position is DIFFERING VIEWS SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN EQUAL TIME Con wins due to Pro’s lack of support for original proposition. Although Con is not obligated to make further addition, here three VIEW(s) that Con believes do not deserve to be taught or discussed in school, and also insert support for this position based on Pro’s own arguments. Here are the three: Kevin the Pedophile Origin of Life Story, Scientology’s Xenu (or Alien) origin story, and finally the Flying Spaghetti Monster Origin Story. Kevin The Pedophile [This is Kevin] Pro failed to defend the particularly stupid DIFFERING VIEW OF THE ORIGIN OF LIFE, specifically that “A pedophile named Kevin as cause for the universe. ” Pro notes this point of view: “unscientific and illogical assumptions are hardly worth consideration in a bar in an argument between 2 inebriated morons let alone as entries into this debate. ”[1] Exactly, that is why NOT ALL differing views should be given equal time. Pro endorses Con’s position wholeheartedly. Scientology’s Origin Story. [One depiction of Xenu] Pro also agree with Con that scientologist based explanation. Here is what Pro said, [“First of all, there is absolutely no evidence for it. We have not even determined that there are aliens, let alone that they implanted life here. So how can something that doesn't even have a shred of evidence be considered scientific. Science is after all based on evidence is it not? Or least evidence pointing towards a conclusion. With no evidence for alien life, how can one claim that they implanted life here? You need evidence (not belief in) of aliens to start with. ”][2] Con’s personal position too is against unscientific, crackpot ideas since the inevitable result would hinder legitimate learning and likely prove counterproductive. However, despite Pro dismantling his own proposition, he ridiculed Scientology’s origin story without considering the possible reasons few own about the origin of life. According to Scientology’s doctrinal beliefs, the reason a lay person is because: “The story of Xenu is covered in OT III, part of Scientology's secret "Advanced Technology" doctrines taught only to advanced members who have undergone many hours of auditing and reached the state of Clear followed by Operating Thetan levels 1 and 2. ” So, even though Pro’s position is that Con is right, Pro failed to consider other explanation for lack of evidence like only advanced members are allowed to see the evidence. But let’s imagine the opposite what if Pro had defended the position DIFFERING VIEWS OF THE ORIGIN OF LIFE SHOULD BE GIVEN EQUAL TIME, which would mean classroom discussing the life of an Alien named Xenu that lived 75 million years ago and ruled an intergalactic confederacy. Pastafarianism Or the Flying Spaghetti Monster Origin Story, another DIFFERING VIEW Con and Pro believe would not advance education in any real way. However, voters should consider a “what-if:” had Pro defended the original proposition then here is what would be given equal time in school. This Q and A below comes from the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster beliefs section. Q: How do Pastafarians believe our world was created? A: We believe the Flying Spaghetti Monster created the world much as it exists today, but for reasons unknown made it appear that the universe is billions of years old (instead of thousands) and that life evolved into its current state (rather than created in its current form). Every time a researcher carries out an experiment that appears to confirm one of these “scientific theories” supporting an old earth and evolution we can be sure that the FSM is there, modifying the data with his Noodly Appendage. We don’t know why He does this but we believe He does, that is our Faith. [3] Bonus section: Here is another origin story that I came across searching the internet. Here are their beliefs. Based on the original proposition that all DIFFERING VIEWS should be GIVEN EQUAL TIME, this satirical account of the universe would be included in every classroom in America. Thankfully, my guess is that Pro would agree with Con that this is ridiculous and should not be considered as serious. Con agrees. We, the Last Thursdayists, followers of Last Thursdayism, members of The Church of Last Thursday, believe: that the universe was created on Thursday, and will expire on Thursday. that the universe was created by You as a test for yourself. that you will be rewarded or punished when this universe expires based on your actions here. that left-handedness is a sinful temptation. that everyone but you was placed here and pre-programmed to act as parts of your test environment. that everyone but you knows this.
