atheism (pro) vs Christianity (con)

My opponent does not provide any evidence for his standpoint so it is an obvious concession for his view since he does not meet his BOP. R1) Big bang : "My opponent starts off by claiming that the Christians claim that the universe was created in six literal 24 hour days. Obviously this is proven to be false by the next statement he makes about the big bang. Let me give you give you a little history lesson on the big bang theory. " Well yeah the bible does contradict the big bang. And yes God does compare the creation week to our week. Read Exodus 20:8-11. In this verse God literally compares the sabbath of his creation week to the sabbath of our human week meaning they are of the same length and they both have days. The word used in Genesis 1 is "yom" which means day and means day in every other instance of the bible. The days of creation are even defined by night and day just like normal literal days. "Second the ministry Reasons to Believe and BioLogos believe that we can reconcile the modern scientific theories with Christian faith. " Who cares what they believe? R2 : Religion and scientific theories "I am currently siding with the yon This debate is not about Young Earth Creation vs Evolution, so I won't respond to his proofs for evolution but if he wants to debate YEC vs evolution I will be able to provide my answer to most of them." This debate is about whether christianity is the truth and christianity makes claims against facts and against empirical evidence for example, it says the earth is flat but pictures say otherwise. Christianity made itself involved in this debate by making such claims and this debate is to debunk the claims of the bible and prove christianity is wrong. R3) Flat earth "He claims that the Bible teaches a flat earth. I assert the Bible is not making a scientific statement that the earth is flat, but the Bible is speaking from the observer's point of view." False. The bible on multiple occasions says that God held the edges of the earth so even from the persepctive of God the Earth is flat. (Job 38:13, Job 28:24, psalm 19:4-6). It even says that Jesus could see ALL the kingdoms and the empires of Earth from very veyr high mountain --- that is impossible on a sphere. Even in the verses i provided it makes no mention of perspective and merely states that Earth has edges or that you can reach the ends of the Earth before falling off. Even if perspective shows you an edge to the earth, that means the Earth is flat. R4 ) Contradictions "He quoted all kinds of verses saying that there is a contradiction in the Bible where it talks about nobody can see God and people actually saw God. First scholars like Allen Segal and Wesley Muhammad interestingly show from Jewish and Christian tradition and scripture that there seems to be a binatarian or trinitarian nature to God. In the coming responses I can talk more about this if my opponent wishes. " Red herring fallacy. How does this answer the fact that there are contradictions? R5) Time trilemma "2 Peter 3:8 which says that to God one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years is one day. Isaiah 55:8-9 sums this up beautifully which means that we cannot understand a triomni God fully. " How does this answer the time trilemma? I already told you God can not break logic because then he can be both God and not God (law of identity) or he can be both God and Satan (Law of non-contradiciton) or he can be both omnipotent and impotent. R6) What we do not know "When I ask questions about the origin of the universe or life itself. Most atheists would tell me that science would figure it out one day. This is puts some optimism in the atheists mind. When atheists ask trivial questions about the nature of God and we respond with the same type of answer" Life started on Earth by abiogenesis. Life or the first cell evolved and became the first prokaryotic cell. Scientists discovered that it is possible for simple life to evolve from simple abiotic chemicals. The law of biogenesis, disproved spontaneous generation, states that it is impossible for complex multicellular could arise all of sudden from non-living objects like complex from meat or multicellular complex rats to evolve from wheat [1]. What scientists discovered is that simple prokaryotic life could evolve from simple inorganic chemicals since this is not complex multicellular organisms coming from nothing, unicellular abiogenesis does not contradict the law of biogenesis. Here is how. Science discovered that if lightning (electricity) striked the early mixture of gases in the early atmosphere (methane, hydrogen, ammonia and water vapor), it is possible for the monomers of life like amino acids to evolve from those gases, this experiment is called miller-urey experiment [2] [3] [4]. Using different variations of the same experiment, simple nucleic acids can be formed [2] [3]. Those monomers however, need to form long chains (polymers) to become macromolecules. Fox discovered the pouring those monomers on any source of heat like thermal sea vents, hot rock or hot clay or just exposure to intense heat generally could form polymers out of those monomers. He poured the monomers over hot rock and sand in his experiment caused dehydration synthesis and the creation of macromolecules like proteins [2] [5]. Now that the life is in macromolecules it needs to be packaged which Oparin and Haldane proved that those macromolecules could interact in cell with a cell membrane of fats and liposomes and this would be the first cell (protobiont) and it would gain energy by fermentation of surrounding organic chemicals [ 6 ]. Now that we have the first cell, the nucleic acids become even longer chains of nucleotides using the proteins formed earlier. The proteins assembled the nucleic acids into long chains which formed RNA. The RNA carried out the instructions of the cell and became the command center in the nucleiod region. This is the first prokaryotic cell. Scientists also found out that RNA could act as enzymes exactly like proteins and carry mamy chemical functions, those RNA enzymes have the same capabilities as protein enzymes and they are called ribozymes [7]. The proteins and ribozymes also allowed for a very important task which is the replication of RNA and mitosis. Now the cell could duplicate and divide creating multiple cells and form colonies which had specialized cells and turned into the first simple organism [8]. An important thing to note is also endosymbiosis. Endosymbiosis allowed the cells to move from being prokaryotic to eukaryotic. The cells began to encompass other life and form mutualistic symbiosis. Endosymbiosis is responsible for creating the illusion of the complexity of the first cell. The first cell became very complex and involving multiple functions because of endosymbiosis. Endosymbiosis simply states that the prokaryotic cell evolved and became eukaryotic and complex by engulfing other life. Two proofs of endosybiosis is the mitochondria and the chloroplasts. Endosymbiosis allowed the cell to engulf aerobic life which became the mitochondria later and allowed the cell to engulf cyanobacteria which became chloroplasts later. Two evidences for this is that the mitochondria and chloroplasts now literally have their own circular DNA different from the chromosomes which is characteristic of early prokaryotic life and that the mitochondria has a double membrane. One is membrane is its own and the other was given by the cell during engulfing [9]. The symbiosis was obvious, the aerobic life which became mitochondria later gave the cell energy in the form of ATP and the cell gave protection organic chemicals required. Returning to the original point is that mitosis allowed the cell to duplicate and divide using proteins. This is how life evolved. You did not meet your burden of proof and I rebutted all of your shaky rebuttals. References in comments.
