scientifically inexplicable things occur that are apparently supernatural, but not to atheists

You can be a scientifically minded atheist and still believe that inexplicable events occur, there many scientific mysteries to the universe. In the realm of quantum mechanics you get results that are seemingly impossible. A few of these scientific anomalies are: The Double Slit Experiment (http://en.wikipedia.org...) Dark Matter (http://en.wikipedia.org...) Dark Energy (http://en.wikipedia.org...) Tetralneutrons (http://en.wikipedia.org...) Under our almost universal set of physical laws there exists a select few anomalies which act outside the generally agreed upon standard model of the physical universe. Under these fringe laws there exists such extreme exceptions to fundamental logic which still rationally acts outside the norm. For instance, unobserved matter is in multiple states simultaneously, because it is unknown for sure what state is really is in (http://en.wikipedia.org...). Something can have form but virtually no weight (http://en.wikipedia.org...). Certain particles can also travel through seemingly solid matter. All this exists in the world of quantum mechanics. As an atheist as well as a scientists I can say that scientifically inexplicable things occur that are apparently supernatural. The only exception being that supernatural implies that it exists outside of being somehow while all this actually does exist is the physical/natural world. Why they act outside of our natural laws is a question to be asked.
scientifically inexplicable things occur that are apparently supernatural, but not to atheists

The burden of proof is not on me it is on you friend. Can you even prove such things happen at all? You cannot. You fail to defend you own point, and denigrating my own does not suffice in this case you theist. My opponent has lost fairly and with dignity. I have provided proof of the seemingly supernatural occurring. Referring to these mathematical equations which describe the world as miracles would be a disservice to this scientific advancement. Miracles, i.e acts of god or a greater omnipotent force, do not exist, whereas this is proven science. Christian health or Christian science is quite the hoax, and it has cost the lives of children consequently (http://www.time.com...). Relying on a somehow benevolent deity to cure disease and ailments is nothing short of reckless endangerment and in court has stood as reckless homicide.
Pro Should Have Won the Referenced Debate

There is not much more to say other than a few minor rebuttals. ~~~~~~~ Rebuttals ~~~~~~~ ///Firstly, I'd like to clarify my use of the word 'substantive' - as can be seen in previous debates of mine on this site, I tend to use the words 'substantive' and 'argument' interchangeably, and sometimes together unnecessarily. I apologise that this linguistic imprecision seems to have led my opponent to believe that I wasimplying something - namely, that Pro provided argumentation - which I was not. /// It would not be a reasonable claim to say that I could have known this about my opponent before the debate began. I maintain the contention that this is an admittance of some agrgumentation. The voters will need to be true judges on this one. ~ ///Nonetheless, my opponent provides what I call an "even-if" argument, which says that even if the argument WERE valid, Pro should still get the arguments vote. /// What I did with my claim was an "even-if" statement, but not in the context he is implying. This was the statement in question: "My opponent may try and make this opposing opinion imply dismisal. .. " This is what I would refer to as a preemptive rebuttal which would only apply if my opponent were to make the claim that the round 2 argument. He clearly did not with the clarifying statement in round 2: "My opponent and I both agree that Con's last round argument should not be taken into consideration when it comes to distributing points. " ~ In conclusion it is my contention that I have upheld the resolution. The ending score should have been 24-6. I strongly urge a Pro vote.
Pro Should Have Won the Referenced Debate

org debater. .. /// I concede this point to my opponent, in accordance with my argument the scare should now stand at 24-6 in favor of Pro. ~ ///=== THE ARGUMENTS VOTE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TIED ===/// Here is a common quote: "That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. " tbg685 asserted that it is indeed Nick that owns the number and Mirza's only two other options were that Mark owns the number or neither of them owns the number. He chose the latter in an invalid last round argument, but even then he did not dismiss tbg658's claim that Nick owns the number. My opponent may try and make this opposing opinion imply dismisal, but in reality it is indirect contestation of the point whih does not imply dismissal. This justification by Pro's opinion alone makes Pro's argument better than Con's. ~ ///In neither of the rounds does Pro provide any substantive argumentation for his side of the debate. .. /// With this statement it is implied by you that while Pro's argumentation was un-substantive they/it was there. An un-substanive argument tops an invalid one. This alone is an objecive reason to award the "Arguments" category to Pro. ~ In conclusion based on my concession of a point and defense of another the point spread favors Pro in an even greater disparity.

Pro Should Have Won the Referenced Debate

To deal with his two points in reverse order: === ON THE EVEN-IF STATEMENT === My opponent has clarified his original intention in providing the even-if statement that I quoted in the last round, such that it is now not something which should be taken into account when voting. As my opponent put it, it was "a preemptive rebuttal which would only apply if my opponent were to make the claim that the round 2 argument. He clearly did not. .. " So there's no further need to deal with this point. === ON PRO'S LACK OF ARGUMENTATION === My opponent quoted the part of my argument where I made a minor linguistic clarification, and then proclaimed this to be evidence of a "an admittance of some argumentation" on my part, justifying his lack of rebuttal. This is clearly factually inaccurate, for as I explicitly stated immediately afterwards: "despite this [linguistic imprecision] it was clear enough through my analysis that I was [not implying what my opponent was claiming that I was]. " I then proceeded to re-inforce my original argumentation, thus making it crystal clear that I was not conceding any part of the argument. I don't understand why my opponent seems to believe otherwise in the light of such evidence to the contrary. He is correct when he says that "voters will need to be true judges" of this; I consequently ask that voters take into consideration that my argument stands unrebutted before casting their vote. === CONCLUSION === I have made two arguments in this debate relating to the vote-share in the referenced debate. The first (on conduct) was conceded by my opponent. The second, which despite minor linguistic difficulties remained clear and re-inforced throughout, stands unrebutted and unrefuted. For this reason, the resolution is negated. The ending score should have been 6-6, and the debate should have been a tie.
should we have to wear uniform

Wearing a uniform is a badge of pride, creates an identity for a school and is an important part of being a school student... A school uniform teaches students to dress smartly and take pride in their appearance... Perhaps most importantly, a uniform means students don't have to worry about peer pressure when it comes to their clothes. When everyone is dressed the same, worrying about what you look like isn't so important. There is no competition about being dressed in the latest trend, which would put a great deal of financial pressure on students and parents. Potential bullies have one less target for their insults; it's hard to make fun of what someone is wearing when you're dressed exactly the same... My uniform might not be what I would wear in my own time, but it gives me a sense of belonging, takes away the pressure of what to wear and deters the bullies. School uniform isn't fashionable, but that's exactly why I think it should be here to stay."

Confidence is a huge part of life especially for teens. Uniforms look different on everyone. Some people may feel they don"t look good in their school"s uniform. Because of this feeling, they worry all day long about what everyone else is thinking of them. Having confidence can be of great importance. Weather it"s a simple project presentation at school or a big job interview, confidence is key. While wearing uniforms, confidence is sometimes a hard thing to accomplish, but this isn"t the only distraction of wearing a uniform. Uniforms can be quite distracting during the day because of all the restrictions. During the day you constantly have to worry about having your shirt tucked in and keeping everything according to code. While worrying about tests you are also constantly worrying about getting caught with a uniform violation. After enough uniform violations there will of course be consequences such as a detention. I personally am not always thinking about what I should be, but instead checking my uniform over and over to make sure not to get in trouble. Students have enough stress in their lives; why add more? With so much stress about getting good grades and getting everything done on time, we shouldn"t have to deal with the stress of uniforms. Students already have so many things taken away from them during school hours, individuality and confidence shouldn"t have to be hidden by uniforms. Having a few dress code guidelines is quite an easy fix to these issues. I believe that students should not have to wear uniforms.

School Uniform Pro 6: Simple Economics Buying a few school uniforms instead of a new school wardrobe every fall is much more economical. School uniforms are designed to stand up to everyday wear and repeated washing so most parents find that they can get away with buying a few sets. 7. School Uniform Pro 7: Weekend Style With all the money a parent saves by not having to buy day to day clothes, they can (if they so choose) let their children buy a few nicer and more fashionable pieces for weekends and evenings. Wearing a uniform five days a week might make students appreciate their weekend fashions more--maybe enough to even take good care of them!

I believe that students should not have to wear uniforms. Uniforms take away our individuality. Confidence is much harder to achieve while wearing a uniform. Wearing them can get distracting during the day. Some schools say uniforms make us united as a school, but I don"t think they do anything but bother students. Simple rules instead of a uniform could easily be put in place. Instead of having uniforms I believe we should just have simple guidelines as to what we can and can"t wear. Part of being in school is learning to become responsible. How is telling us exactly what to wear teaching us responsibility. We should be able to know how we can and cannot dress without having the privilege completely taken away. Following the guidelines would help to make us responsible because when we get ready to have a career, our clothing will most likely not be completely decided for us. We will have to follow guidelines for that particular company. Having guidelines for how we dress will also help teach us to follow simple directions. With different rules in place we can reclaim our individuality. When wearing uniforms, it is a struggle to be an individual. Teachers are always saying how important it is to just be ourselves and not worry about what others might think. Having a uniform takes that away from us, and this may lead students to try to find other ways to be different. They might begin to act out so they stick out from the crowd. Without uniforms we can show everyone who we are through our clothes. Opinions shouldn"t be based solely on clothing of course, but clothing is a fun and easy way to show who are. Being different is huge part of being in school and I think we should be able to have the privilege of wearing what we want. It can also give us more confidence.

School Uniform Pro 2: Easier Mornings for Parents When there's no debate on what a student is allowed wear to school, then that makes mornings easier for parents and for kids. Everyone knows exactly what the kids need to wear, their regulated school uniform. This can lead to a decrease in morning arguments. 3. School Uniform Pro 3: Dress Code Control Schools without a school uniform policy still have rules on what clothing is and is not allowed in school. There are usually rules regarding modesty issues, visible logos, offensive text on clothing, gang colors and symbols and more. Teachers and administrative staff must monitor the students' attire. This is of course avoided when all students are in uniform. School Uniform Pro 4: An Even Playing Field One of the most obvious argument for school uniforms is that by having all children dressed the same, there is a decrease in bullying and teasing. In this era of status brands and high-fashion trends, clothing has become the definitive status symbol for children and teens. By evening the playing field with uniforms, there is less opportunity for children to be picked on or shunned for their clothes. 5. School Uniform Pro 5: School Spirit Many experts believe that when the entire student body is dressed in uniforms, they develop a stronger team mentality. When they are all dressed alike, their all-for-one-and-one-for-all comradery is boosted.

The use of uniforms in our schools have continued to gain more and more popularity, and one in every eight American schools have been practicing this. Below are ten reasons to support the agitation for the abolition of school uniforms: 1. They only serve commercial interests. More and more corporations are lobbying for the requirement of school uniforms because of their limitless profit potentials. 2. Uniforms slow down development into adulthood. These early days are very important in the development of these students, imposing school uniforms on them denies them the chance to choose what to wear, which is a very important symbol of adulthood. 3. Uniforms reduce self-esteem. Uniforms never make anyone look his or her best because they had no say in the choice of style and design. Girls are the worst hit by this low self-esteem syndrome due to the use of uniforms. 4. Uniforms make kids more prone to bullying. Unfortunately, most people believe enforcing the use of school uniforms will reduce the incidences of bullying the students, but this is far from the truth and reality. 5. Uniforms are quite boring. Wearing school uniforms can make the entire school thing a very boring experience. They ought to be banned totally and gotten rid of for good 6. Uniforms can make you feel so uncomfortable. Several reasons can be given for the agitation to ban school uniforms, but one that most people can easily identify with is the fact that they are quite uncomfortable to be in all the time. 7. Uniforms can be quite expensive. There are several other things you can do with the money you spend on school uniforms. The average American student spends at least $249 annually. 8. School uniforms promotes conformity against personality. Children are raised to break free from all norms and stand out from every crowd in life, but the use of uniforms, do the very opposite to them-conformity. 9. The first amendment of the US constitution is violated by the use of school uniforms. The first amendment guarantees every American freedom in everything from religion to expression, and imposing a uniform on them is a clear violation of that right. 10. School uniforms are hated by all. School uniforms should be banned because no one likes to wear them.
Working women

In my opinion unemployed wife is not so good as people may think. First of all, a woman who stays at home thinks about nothing except cooking, cleaning, washing and so on. Her knowledge is narrowed to these things and become bounded. In the same time a woman who has a job commutes with lot of people, gets information, lerans more about different things, thereby she develops her knowledge about today's world. There is a state that a working woman with her increased knowledge and better understanding can also be a great mother. Secondly, by being a housewife woman doesn't feel necessity to dress up and look better, because there is no need to go out much and if she need to go out she do it to buy food, pick up kids from school and other cases. Consequently she dresses more practically and comfortable. What is more, we all know that extra money does not come in, and by having a job woman make contribution to a family budget.
Monopoly Is the best board game

When you play you always mortgage if you can buy something new, Buy houses if it will leave you with higher than roughly $500. What do you mean "spatial awareness when it come to your relation with other player's pieces? " My main problem is that it is too random, I count that as a con even though that is realistic. Almost all? What model are you talking about? Is it some new thing? also. . . ONLY ONE PERSON GETS THE TOP HAT you have a 99% win rate if you have the top hat. Unfair.
Monopoly Is the best board game

I disagree, You need to be smart in how you play. When to build houses, What properties to mortgage, And spatial awareness when it come to your relation with other player's pieces. Also smarter people can be more deceptive and get the better end of deals. But what makes monopoly so great is that although being smart and skilled can heavily increase your odds of winning, It is still up to a element of chance which is realistic to real life with investments and provides exciting games. My final rebut to your thing was, Almost all monopoly games gave 1 extra hotel and 1 extra house in case you lose one. But its not the game's fault if you are unorganized and loose or misplace some of your pieces.
Monopoly Is the best board game

I can agree that some parts of monopoly are good, But the issue is that once you learn basic strategy the only thing that makes games different is die rolls. In monopoly you should pretty much always buy something if you can, But this is often not the case in real life. When 1 house goes missing the game is either ruined or you have to make a new replacement piece. There are a specific amount of houses and hotels, No extras.
Being Religious in America: Does Not Make You More Likely To Commit Crimes.

I agree somewhat, there are many factors that may come in to play. I think when religious groups try to suggest atheists are going to be bad because they don't have a fixed moral code from God that is ignoring the evidence. Bad does not usually happen because someone does not have a God based moral code. There are many factors that might come into play. Drugs, bad role models, etc. On the flip side, the fact that there are many registered Christians in US prisons does not prove that religion makes them more bad. Just that there are many more Christians in the general population and thus are likely to also be a big chunk of the prison population.
Capital Punishment

I value life, and with this value i uphold the people who have died by murder. The innocent people who lost their life by currupt minded people. By losing their life they have lost all happiness their life had to offer, or any joy they brought to their families or friends. Capital punishment is just. because how else do we punish these sick minded people who go out and slaughter our innocent people of America? We kill them, so they feel the same pain and loss that the person they killed felt. It's fair, and it's right even though it may be harsh.
Instagram causes depression

I don't know why you would assume most of those things. When my Father died I went onto instagram and posted a video of myself in tears. lets say somebody posted something that you don't like, thats your problem it does not FORCE SADNESS UPON YOU! that's your choice. I cut, and It was because of people and things that where posted on social media but instagram that app itself is not a depression app, it may be the people. and that's the huge problem in our society, so if you want to debate about that, go ahead:)
Instagram causes depression

You say "personal photos or your life are a strong way to connect with your audience" but are you really showing what your life is like? I bet you have had a couple bad hair days, some times when you were unhappy or cried a lot but I bet you didn"t post that, and that"s the problem. You don"t actually post what goes on in your life, you post what you think will make you look good, or what will get a lot of likes. Nobody posts a selfie when they are feeling insecure about it, only when they think they look good. And people mostly just post pictures of them having a fun time, like if they were hanging out with a friend, or at a party. That causes other people to feel down upon themselves. If they see someone else hanging out with their friend or two of their friends hanging out together they feel like they aren't included. Or if everyone is out on a Friday night and posting pictures of them having so much fun they feel like their life is boring and like nobody wants to hang out with them. Also, if someone posts a good selfie they ask themselves why they can"t look like that or why they can"t get that many likes/followers and they think that since nobody likes their photos nobody cares. That leads them to harming themselves. People cut because they feel like nobody cares. They starve themselves because they want to be skinny "just like that pretty girl on Instagram who got 10 thousand likes on her photo." Instagram is bad for people, it causes them to feel depressed and can even lead to self harm or suicide.
Instagram causes depression

some people use Instagram as showing what their best at, like photography. I love the gram and it makes me so happy. People love to connect with people. Photos are such a great way to portray who you are as a person, or who the people are behind your brand. Spontaneous photos of your employees or personal photos or your life are a strong way to connect with your audience. Is your brand young and funky? Or is it more refined and sophisticated? Either way, your photos can portray this personality quicker and more effectively than any text post ever could. Many people often assume that photos work best for product based businesses. But this isn"t necessarily true. Even if your business is B2B, there are still plenty of opportunities to share photos. And your photos don"t just have to be about "work". Include photos of your team working, photos of travel destinations when meeting with clients, photos of your office, photos of projects you"re working on, photos of the flowers outside your office. The options really are limitless on Instagram. Have fun with it and make your photos a reflection of that! So, even if none of the above reasons were enough to justify joining Instagram, I would recommend it just because it"s fun. It"s honestly one of most fun sites I use. It"s not necessarily the most educational (I turn to Google+, Twitter, or LinkedIn for great content), but sometimes you just want to have fun on social media. For me, this is that site. Now, granted, I love taking photos and I love photography so I might get more out of this site than people who don"t take photos. But even then, I know a number of people who, even though they don"t post a lot of photos, say that Instagram is one of their favorite sites.
