The Teleological argument is failed, and should NEVER BE USED EVER AGAIN.

I'll take this debate. Since Pro is making the claim, he bears the burden of proof. Not only must Pro show that the Teleological Argument has failed, he must also show that it should never be used again, as per the resolution. If he fails to show one or both of these parts of the resolution, then Pro loses the debate. Considering this argument has been around since the ancient Greeks, it's highly unlikely that Pro has some new knock-down argument that shows the argument should never be used again. But I await his opening argument. For the record, the argument Pro is attempting to refute is the Teleological Argument as William Lane Craig formulates it: P1: The fine-tuning of the universe is due to either physical necessity, chance, or design. P2: It is highly improbable that it resulted from physical necessity or chance. C: Therefore, it is highly probable that the universe was designed.
The Teleological argument is failed, and should NEVER BE USED EVER AGAIN.

No trolls please.I'll be arguing that the Teleological argument is flawed. I'll be using the following version: 1)The fine-tuning of the universe is due either to physical necessity, chance, or design.2) It is highly improbable that it resulted from physical necessity or chance.3) Therefore, it is highly probable that the universe was designed.
Pastor Fred Phelps should have the right to picket funerals.

However, with this topic, the title is misleading, and instead it should read 'Pastor Fred HAS The Right to Picket Funerals. ' I would like to start this debate by defining 'has the right to' as "an abstract idea of that which is due to a person or governmental body by law or tradition or nature" As a framework, I state that Fred Phelps is legally allowed to picket the funerals, and to win this debate the opposition has to prove that by law, Fred Phelps is not allowed to picket these funerals. This debate shall not focus around morality; proving what Fred Phelps does is immoral should not affect the round. Contention 1: The First Amendment Under the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America, it states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. " This directly applies to Fred Phelps, since by 'picketing' the funerals of dead soldiers," he is effectively gathering with his fellow members of the Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas, speaking out against the funeral of the soldier, and publishing what he and his church have done. This does not at all violate the first amendment, and therefore by law, Fred Phelps does have the right to picket funerals. Contention 2: Fred Phelps is a law-abiding citizen On May 26th of 2009, former president George W. Bush signed a law called the 'Respect for America's Fallen Heroes Act' which prevented protests within 300 feet (91 m) of the entrance of any cemetery under control of the National Cemetery Administration from 60 minutes before to 60 minutes after a funeral. Violating this law will result in a hefty fine of up to $100,000 and 1 year in imprisonment. Even though the law was signed into effect in response to Fred Phelps's picketing acts, Fred Phelps abides by this rule, and instead he and his church followers picket the funeral from outside the gates of the cemetery. He is not breaking the law in any way, shape, or form. And therefore, for these two reasons, as a judge, I strongly urge an affirmative vote on today's ballot. I look forward to a good debate.
Pastor Fred Phelps should have the right to picket funerals.

Resolved: Pastor Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church should have the right to picket funerals. Clarification points: - Funeral picketing refers to the ongoing controversy surrounding Pastor Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church's practice of picketing the funerals of dead American soldiers. - The debate should focus on the issues debated in Supreme Court Case Snyder v. Phelps. These issues include whether or not the Constitution protects the right to picket and where the line should be drawn for the right to freedom of speech. I will let my opponent begin this debate by presenting his case.
Black People And Indian People are the Same

This is going to be fun. Black people and Indian people are not the same.A black person is somebody who is black, (my definition, irrespective of where they are from, but commonly from Africa) and an Indian is somebody from India. The 2 groups are not the same group. "The average black IQ is 52, and the average Indians IQ is 67." THis is not true. The average African-American IQ is 85 and Indians IQ is 106, which is higher then the average Caucasian IQ at 100, which is higher then the average Black IQ. Although this guy stated his opinion, it was on the bases of facts. Also, you said that Black people and Indian people have average different IQs. Even if those numbers were correct, wouldn't that prove a difference between the 2 groups?http://thealternativehypothesis.org...Some Indians smell that way because they eat a lot of spicies in their food. Black people don't stink much more then a caucasian. Even if all black people ate chicken and watermelon, this would then again prove that curry eating Indians and Chicken eating black people are different people with different food interests.On your source, it is urban dictionary, the same site that may say, "John Smith" as a swear word, proving how unreliable it is. Assuming it was inflalliable however, the site says that the top 15 foods black people like. Assuming this was accurate, then Fried Chicken wouldn't even make the top 10 and Watermelon would barely make the list, at #10. "Stephen Curry is African-American, but he is curry" The biggest thing curry about him is his last name. I doubt he has ever eaten curry. "Thus, Indians and blacks are the same type of disgusting, perverted, vile people." You fail to provide any reliable sources at why they are like this. Your statement does not apply to all Black people or to Indians.
Black People And Indian People are the Same

I'm pro, and I believe that blacks and Indians (South Asians/East Indians) are the same. Both are violent and stinky. The average black IQ is 52, and the average Indians IQ is 67. Also, Indians, as we all know, smell like curry. Black people also smell bad, because they eat too much fried chicken and watermelon. https://www.urbandictionary.com... Stephen Curry is African-American, but he is curry. Thus, Indians and blacks are the same type of disgusting, perverted, vile people.
Bioshock is a work of art

Bioshock is a survival horror first-person shooter video game designed by Ken Levine and developed by 2k Boston. The game plays off of Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged: led by Andrew Ryan, industrialists, artists, and scientists have retreated from the world and built Rapture, a dystopian city at the bottom of the Atlantic. When the game begins, however, the city and its citizens have been corrupted by their own arrogance, as genetically manipulated splicers creep through the corridors and hallways of Rapture. It seems like all humanity has been lost, and it is the player's objective to kill Andrew Ryan and escape Rapture. In a previous debate with USM, I argued that video games were not actually works of art. But after playing through and considering the aesthetic and philosophical depth of Bioshock, I feel compelled to recant my position. Bioshock is a work of art. It is a monumental human achievement, the magnum opus of gaming, and I would like to take this opportunity to defend it till my dying breath. I welcome anyone to take this debate, but I ask that challengers take it seriously and not attempt to derail it with semantics or other forms of silliness. I accept the full responsibility and burden of proving Bioshock is a work of art.
Bioshock is a work of art

I have a rebuttal for each one of your points. But, I really am tired of this debate. It was the first debate I accepted, and I should not have acceepted it in the first place. Video games are art.I concede defeat.Thank you for debating, and good job. I will happily debate you again in a subject where I am more knowledgable.P.S. I have never played the game Bioshock.
Bioshock is a work of art

Video games do combine mediums of many different art forms. Museums also combine mediums of many different art forms, because of this should we call museums art? No.My point is that video games may have artistic mediums inside them, but the video game is not an art form itself.Art- the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance. http://dictionary.reference.com...My opponent says that saving the Little Sisters gave you an emotional high. Emotions based on moral values and sympathy and similar feelings. These have nothing to do with aesthetic values. Just because the situation inside the game gives you feelings of pity and sympathy, these feelings have nothing to do with aesthetic principles. My opponent states "the emotions are directed towards ourselves, feeling either good or bad about what we do." Moral decisions have nothing to do with aesthetics or art.The argument that the experience of the game were self-directed just goes farther to prove my case. In art, the maker transfers his emotions to the audience. Once someone interacts with the art and makes their own decisions which create their own seperate emotions, they are not recieving the maker's emotions. Once you actively change the art, it then stops being art. My opponent says the game is linear, but if he has to make choices and has options that affect the result, then it is not linear any longer. If a game is nonlinear, then it gives the audience options and these options then affect the result of the game, then it is no longer art.I realize my first argument was quite weak, but I was tired and decided to just raise a simple argument rather than rebut.
Bioshock is a work of art

I am thoroughly disappointed by my opponent's response. In Round 1, I explicitly asked that my opponent not use semantics or other forms of silliness. I think completely ignoring my case, and claiming video games are architecture, is such a form of playing with semantics or other silliness. I really don't feel like wasting my time with a debater who explicitly ignores the terms of this debate, so I will briefly explain what is wrong with Con's arguments, and leave it at that. The claim that Bioshock is architecture is a non-starter: 1) There is nothing that prevents architecture from being art, and my opponent has not shown otherwise. Many works of architecture, for example the works of Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi, are considered art. 2) A central part of the game is its interactive fiction, which is further thematizes in the tension between freedom and control. As players realize that they have no control over their character, and that they have been under the illusion of free rational choice, when really, what they have been witnessing is the unfolding of a narrative that is independent of the player's choices, shows that the game is not solely architectural. Video games combine the mediums of many different art forms, including music, narrative, text, words, images, sounds, cinematography, etc. In closing, it is clear that Con has not show that architecture cannot be art, and Con has also not shown that Bioshock is exclusively architectural, as the game also uses elements from many other artforms.
Bioshock is a work of art

Aspects of video games are art. Video games themselves are not art. Video games are architecture, but not art.I would like to define a term.Architecture- the profession of designing buildings, open areas, communities, and other artificial constructions and environments, usually with some regard to aesthetic effect.http://dictionary.reference.com...Architecture is not art. Hundreds of colleges have schools of Art and Architecture. Why aren't these just called art schools if architecture is art? Because architecture is not art.Here are just a sample of the schools that refer themselves as schools of art and architecture.http://www.coaa.uncc.edu...http://www.caad.msstate.edu...http://www.arts.ucla.edu...http://www.uidaho.edu...Video games are artificial constructions and environments. Therefore, video games are architecture and not art.Thank you.SeelTheMan

God will give you eternal life

Can you prove that there is no Hell? How in the world are you going to prove that? I do not recommend it. I don't want even my worse enemy to try to prove Hell fire is not real and does not burn sinners in eternal torment. God wans you to have eternal life. He will give you eternal life but He can't if you won't believe on the resurrection of Jesus Chist and receive Him as your Saviour. If you don't care about it, well there is nothing anybody can do for you. God did all He could do to save you from Hell. You are chosing your own way away from God. Why? Do you think it's worth it?
