The theory of creationism is wrong

Burden of proof shared. Creationism '"The belief that the universe and living organisms originate from specific acts of divine creation, as in the biblical account, rather than by natural processes such as evolution"" Human share there genetics with animals some examples are listed below. Chimpanzee :96% Cat: 90% Cow: 80% Mouse: 75% The theory of creationism suggests that we have nothing in common with animals we were created separately from them however if this is the case why do we share a significant proportion of their dna?. The theory of evolution provides the only reasonable explanation by saying we share a common anteater and have evolved due to the theory of survival of the strongest. Creationists believe that the universes is only 6000 years old However we see light from distant galaxies that has traveled millions of light years clearly showing the universe is much older than 6000 years. Carbon dating has also allowed us to identify objects on the earth millions of years old again proving the earth has existed for millions not thousands of years. If humans have been on their earth thought its history we co-existed with the dinosaurs why have we found no evidence to prove this after all we have found dinosaur fossils. The universe is expanding this theory is explained by the big bang however creationism offers no explanation for this. These are my opening arguments.

I don't think it's fair to the child to not have an abortion. If you're gonna have an abortion, this means that you're not ready nor willing to raise a kid. Kids who grow up in broken households tend to be problematic in society. People who are problematic in society tends to suffer more as they are viewed as a problem by society and are as such going be treated as one through social rejection, etc. You're arguing that life is important and for that reason one should not have an abortion.Well, if a child is to be raised under circumstances in which the parents would've taken an abortion, the child will more likely to grow up being more of a negative utility in society since their parents aren't responsible people to begin with.How is a negative utility important?I don't know. It's bad for us as a society to have him and it's bad for him as an individual to exist since his parents would've aborted him anyways and with that, wouldn't be able to fully necessitate his needs as a child leading to a potential problem in society. Why accept so much problem to raise a bastard child that will be your future bank robber or thief when you can just conceive a child when you're ready to have children and have a well off kid instead.

A living human being that is incapable of emotions and thoughts has no welfare. Sex isn't for making babies, sex just is. Instead of risking the child's welfare for some arbitrary moral reason, why not have a child when you are truly ready?That's far better.I can tell Ted Bundy to not rape but he would still rape, he can rape but its better for him not to rape anyone.Doesn't mean he won't stop raping. I mean, you can always create another baby.Also, you're not paying attention to the parents who are living and capable of thought(has welfare unlike the fetus), they won't be happy raising a child they never wanted. Also, pss: I will win this argument because this place is full of liberals and they will vote for abortion :)

An infant is entirely dependent on you. You procreated it. Can you undo it? No. Because it is a living human being.Again, sex is for making babies.You seem to dismiss the strong debatable argument of whether or not a fetus is a baby in favor of the "The child will grow up unwanted, and become an obstacle for society" argument. Let me tell you this. Every child is born into a different environment. We can't aim to weed out those that grow up in toxic environments simply because they may end up heading down the wrong road. We can't take away a child's chance to life outside the womb because their environment may inflict pain and suffering on them. Otherwise, we should just kill every single child to be born into a poor region of the world, "knowing" that they would grow up in a bad environment and have no positive effect on the world. Thankfully we know this isn't the case.The life argument: Adult, teen, child, infant, fetus, embryo, zygote. Each one of these is a stage of human development. As such, shouldn't each one of these have equal rights, regardless of their stage of development?The standard medical text Human Embryology and Teratology states, “Although human life is a continuous process, fertilization is a critical landmark because, under ordinary circumstances, a new, genetically distinct human organism is thereby formed.”Peter Singer, a pro-choice philosopher, said, "there is no doubt that from the first moments of its existence an embryo conceived from human sperm and eggs is a human being."In his book, A Defense of Abortion, David Boonin writes, "[T]he most straightforward relation between you and me on the one hand and every human fetus on the other is this: All are living members of the same species, homo sapiens. A human fetus after all is simply a human being at a very early stage in his or her development."Philosophers and scientists alike agree: A human is a human even at its earliest stages of development. Life begins at conception.If you still consider your argument about human life being dependent on whether it will be successful or wanted as your strongest argument, I ask you to consider this question. Is the life of another the price you want to pay for a happy life or a good society?Thank you.

Well, the child's life is dependant on you because you chose to procreate and now choose to undo it. No, sex makes babies, we have sex because its fun. Well, is it more likely that your future kid will be extraordinary to the point where they will be able to withstand social conditioning or your child is just a normal child who will suffer due to a dysfunctional family?I'd say that your child will more likely be a normal person.Here is a wikipedia link to effects of a dysfunctional society on children-> https://en.wikipedia.org... Besides, parenting is a hard thing to do and is a form of labour, if a couple keeps a child that they don't want to have than it would be bad for the couple as it would make their life unnecessarily harder since they never chose to keep the kid.The child gets harmed too due to the reasons stated in the paragraph above this one. Well, to understand what I said in the sentence " Teens that don't wanna have kids, screw it, have them procreate and have children even though they or their parents will not desire it. ", read the sentence that came before that sentence in my last argument. Well, I'd say to not have sex unless you wanna marry and have kids.If people are dumb enough to be libertarians(aka in support of sex before marriage) but not be as responsible as libertarians(aka in support of sex before marriage), they don't deserve to spread their genes until they become smarter. I can't answer that question, not important.

You have the right to create a child. You don't have the right to take it's life away.Sex is for making babies. That's simply the science of it. The purpose of sex is to procreate, and if you are irresponsible and have sex you know the consequences.Stating that the rate of bad kids from dysfunctional parents is more than those from loving families makes no difference to the argument. My argument was that you can't simply speculate on what a child's life may be like, and take it's life away if it looks bad. There have been many successful people that came from dysfunctional families.I don't really understand your last sentence. Teens that don't wanna have kids, screw it, have them procreate and have children even though they or their parents will not desire it. If you are completely against having children then don't have sex. And instead of wasting money trying to make abortion safer, why not increase the effectiveness of contraceptives? Then women won't have the problem of having to kill a baby that's already been conceived.I have a question. Do you believe that the fetus in the womb is living? If not, at what point does it become a human being with equal rights as others?
I am pro-life.

Well, unlike the baby with down syndrome, the baby in this case was gonna be aborted, no one chose to procreate for the baby, they procreated for the fun of it, that's how the topic of abortion came to be because that kid wasn't intentionally conceived.Also, when you say what gives anybody the rights to decide the child's future, then might as well not procreate to have children because you don't have a right to the baby's future so you should stay away from it. Yes, there are people who grow up in loving families that end up in the streets but the rate of bad kids from dysfunctional parents are more than that. If life is too precious to waste on a person's lack of desire for it, we might as well all just procreate and have 30 kids.Teens that don't wanna have kids, screw it, have them procreate and have children even though they or their parents will not desire it.
I am pro-life.

From what I've understood, your first argument is that children shouldn't born if they are going to be born into a bad society and have bad upbringing. Now what gives anybody the right to decide that child's future? By your logic should babies with down syndrome (determined in the womb by pre-natal screening), be aborted by a family just because that family believes the child won't be beneficial to society?There are people who grow up in loving families that turn out in the streets. The logic of that argument falls short here. You can't determine a child's future just by what you think might happen to it.Life is too precious to waste on a person's lack of desire for it.I've got more to say after you respond to this.

This website was set up, before Juggle even had it, For those who were fed up with debating as a habit, Who needed to get up in the morning as an addict, And go to sleep sound as a fox who'd just eaten four rabbits, But then some noobs came to the site and they just started to rap sh*t, Wearing their ego as a vest, using their swag as a jacket, To hide the fact that beneath all the bravado they were simply whack kids, In a world full of dope artists twisting logic like it's magic, Tearing arguments to shreds, the tears from the enemy are so f*cking tragic... And then they just kept going, and they kept going strong, Their raps kept flowing, to the beat of the song, And the song kept playing, but the lyrics were wrong, The bars were weak and the beats were weak like a gong, They heard doorbell noises banging when they said suck "my dong", RoyLatham was the ever-present silver-back, King Kong, But one of them surpassed his elo, and the switch flipped 'on'... And the alarm sounded, and the whistle was blown, Like wolves on the hunts, like dogs to a bone, They use their rhymes as power-moves, to take Mikal's throne, But to their dismay, in every way this guy is the one you can't own, Nevertheless, they took the stress, and trie dtheir hardest to hone... Their ability, but their lack of humility drove the loses back home. Why bother to smother another brother in arms? One of our fellow debaters who hates us for the harm, The harm we bring onto him be damaging his confidence and charm, Why take joy in his dismay and not hand him some balm? To cover up his utter butt-hurt at the fact he got wrecked, We're on the internet so I guess that we could say he got shrekt, Nevertheless, the questions goes on what the hell is the point in it? The gain is minimal while the drawbacks are infinite. You are gaining nothing from feeling his ego up, Your perverted form of discourse of debate is so f*cked, People like you remind me why taxes need a cut, So I'll have more money to pay assassins to kick-yo'-butt. You stand for no reason, Here there ain't no reap season, There just a disease and it's on borderline treason, You think it's some d!ck-waving contest that makes the other guy bleed, son? Get a talent, not a real f*cking talent, Like the type where you say sh*t your opponent will pray you hadn't, I'm talking that type of talent where you twist and turn and struggle, To solve the complex puzzle of how the hell to prove a point that's deeper than a puddle, You shallow-a$$ wannabes thinking you ego the e-lo, Only thing you got's a guarantee, you'll grow up to be a pe-do!

The amount of rap battles, even by respected debaters like Mikal, disgust me. First round is for acceptance. Here is what I mean by a rap battle: A debate on DDO where the topic is nothing but a call for a rap battle and the rap battlers are not representing a side of any debate topic conceivable other than their ego's pride within the rap battle. Here is what a rap battle is not: The use of structured poetry in order to present sides of a debate in a creative manner. If my opponent tries to straw-man attack the latter definition, they forfeit all 7 points to me.
State education is indoctrination

"My opponent does not see the connections between these problems finances, family, school and friends are interrelate and causes social problems in modern days society. For example parents stress there children do good in school to gain higher economic positions in the market." Oddly enough, studies show that parent involvement is constantly decreasing year by year and that when a parent does get involved, the stress goes down for students [1], so apparently, parents aren't stressing their children very much. And those that do, aren't actually causing stress but are reliving it. "As Chomsky pointed out in the video clip above, the corporations are having difficulties because there is a contradiction they want obedience but they can't get creativity and innovation." Between AFT [2] and NEA [3], the public schools are almost entirely run by the various teacher's unions[4]. And since 1914, unions haven't exactly gone hand in hand with big business[5][6].

State education is indoctrination

I would have to disagree with this. In studies regarding depression in school aged kids, show that school is actually a small factor (while it is still a factor, family, finances, and friends, or lack there of are much larger indicators) [1][2][3]. And with anxiety, private schools are actually more stressful then public ones [4]. _My opponent does not see the connections between these problems finances, family, school and friends are interrelate and causes social problems in modern days society. For example parents stress there children do good in school to gain higher economic positions in the market. I can only speak for the 10 schools that I've attended (3 elementary, 3 middle, 1 high, and 3 colleges), but none of them taught me how to do what I'm doing now, tech support for Apple. _As Chomsky pointed out in the video clip above, the corporations are having difficulties because there is a contradiction they want obedience but they can't get creativity and innovation. Yet millions upon millions of dollars as well as thousands of work hours are used to improve it each and every year. While it is not the perfect system, it is a system that is designed to teach everyone. _No the purpose of the system is not to educate that may be the political rhetoric spouted by government officials but it is no the real reason. The ultimate goal is to get you into the market working for a small group of political and financial elites. My opponent apparently does not know what the argument is about it is irrelevant bring up private schools because state education is pretty much as private. Problems which are happening in society are not random they have there roots and interconnect. To fix the problem we need to stop the environment that creates it.
State education is indoctrination

The "public education system" as the common culture of today's society claim that state education is an ideal method of educating the young. In this debate I want to refute this concept and show a darker side of the state education system. Rather than educate it teaches the young to become obedient to authority and represses questioning skepticism, free thought instead of mindlessly shoving the boring and repetitive curriculum down the students throats. The purpose of education after we get passed of all cultural dogma and state propaganda was not to educate but to make you into another tool in the market working in repetitive stressful job which you do to gain money in order to pay taxes which goes to fund wars and increase the power of the state. The school environment tries to reflect the stressful work environment by giving you useless tasks which you get "GRADED" on. If you do not do well on the arbitrary tests and homework assignments you will get pressure by the authorities (teachers staff principal substitutes). They will then contact your parents and give you stress at home. This degrading system in which your intelligence is graded by an arbitrary number and you are told what intelligence out to be. You are not free to choose what you want to learn and select what you excel at. This artificial system of cramming on average 30 students into a small room to be yelled at and feed lies and treated like you are less intelligent than you actually are! Public education does not make for a intelligent young who are ready to help and improve society but leads depression mental distress anxiety and this can lead to much negative behavior in the future. I believe there must be a drastic change in how we educate the young. The chaos of the public education system results from what we would expect when the state gains power over a vital part of life. http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... http://www.newfoundations.com... http://en.wikipedia.org...
