The Bible Teaches a pre-Adamic Creation

Full ResolutionThe Bible teaches a pre-Adamic Creation that exists between Genesis 2:3 and Genesis 2:3-4DefinitionsPre-Adamic: A race of humans/creation that existed before Adam supposedly existed.Sources – Information taken from a source must be directly mentioned in the debate in order to count. Posting a link to an essay and adding "read this" is a way to gain extra argumentation outside the round and is therefore unfair. An external citation page is permitted. Sources must be listed either at the end of each round or on the citation page and are to be referenced with brackets [] or parenthesis ().Plagiarism - Plagiarism is unacceptable and will result in an automatic loss. Videos - I will allow videos as long as they complement the argument rather than make the entire argument for my opponent.Characters - There will be 8,000 characters allowed.Voting Comments - All voters are required to have a RFD.Structure:Round 1: Acceptance and no arguments.Round 2: PRO will present the contradictions in creation and CON will attempt to reconcile these verses.Round 3: PRO will respond to CON's rebuttals and attempt to show why CON's "rebuttals" fail.Round 4: Same as aboveRound 5: Closing arguments, summaries, and final rebuttals.Voting:Conduct:A violation of one of the rules listed under "Technical Rules" results in a loss of the conduct vote. If bother debaters violate a rule, the conduct vote should be tied. Excessive rude behavior, in either the debate or the comments, results in an automatic lose of the conduct vote regardless of rule violations. Violations of conduct cannot count toward argumentation (this is particularly relevant for rule violations).Spelling and Grammar:The use of poor spelling and grammar that detracts from the debate results in the automatic loss of this point. Otherwise, disregard minor typographical errors. This point may be awarded for exceptionally good writing and presentation.Arguments:For me to win, I need to show contradictions in the creation account. My opponent must reconcile it in order to win. Sources:The sources vote goes to whichever debater made better use of external material to defend his or her position. This does not necessarily mean hard data; references to philosophical arguments and the like also count. Voters should consider the number and quality of sources presented. If a debater violates the rules for sources, he or she cannot win the points for sources.The voting period will last three months.Votes that do not contain a meaningful evaluation of the debate of at least a few sentences and with direct references to arguments made within the rounds in the RFD may be countervoted.Acceptance:I request that my opponent is not a troll, if you troll this debate you will be blocked, reported, and will lose this debate. In addition, I request that my opponent states in round 1 his position on this problem.PlagiarismTo avoid plagiarism, all I ask is that you cite the source. If it is long, like the copy above, then I do not care if you use quotation marks or not. TranslationThere are lots of translations of the Bible and I want my opponent to tell me what version of the Bible to use. I will use whatever version my opponent wants me to use. However, my favorite translations are the ESV and NASB. Note that the Burden of Proof is shared among myself and my opponent.
