Evolution(pro) vs Creationism(con)

I was going to only post an argument but, my opponent's argument was simply one sentence, so instead I will simply prove that what he said is wrong. Con states, "Evolution doesn't have evidence. " That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. There are is a LOT of eveidence for evolution but I will go over three: 1. The fossil record of change in earlier species 2. The chemical and anatomical similarities of related life forms 3. The recorded genetic changes in living organisms over many generations First I will talk about the fossil record. Many remains of animals and plants have been found in sedimentary rock. We can use this to see how species have changed over time. Some extinct species had traits that were transitional between major groups of organisms. The fact that these organisms exist is proof that species evolve over time. Also, the fossil record helps prove that multi-celled organisms came after single-celled organisms, once again proving that organisms evolve. All living things on Earth are fundamentally similar in the way that their atomoc structures and their chemical compositions. All species have come from one common ancestor - as can be seen with vertebrets. The arms of humans, the forelegs of dogs and cats, and the wings of birds have retained these traits from a common ancenstor. Because these animals didn't just start out by being like this, and they evolved to be this way, evolution once again exists. Our genes have changed over many generations of time. This can be seen with natural selection. For example, If a certain anti-biotic is used to kill a group of bacteria, most of them will die, but some will survive, and reproduce bacteria that have the similar trait of being resistant to that anti-biotic. Over many generations new species can be formed. For example, Dogs were once wolves. My opponents argument, "evolution doesn't have evidence" is 100% invalid.
Evolution(pro) vs Creationism(con)

I was pretty skeptical about starting this debate, but I've finally decided to do it. So this is going to be pretty serious. Rounds will go as follows: Round 1: Pro - Explains rules Con - Presents first argument Round 2: Pro - Presents first argument (no rebuttals. Only arguments) Con - presents rebuttal of Pro's argument Round 3: Pro - Rebuts to con's case Con - More rebuttals Round 4: Pro - More Rebuttals Con - Forefits Round or just types in a random sentence. (This is to make things even. For con, this round will not be taken into consideration. If you accept - please follow the format strictly as written!! Good Luck!

"Christians" - The 10 Commandments are still in effect and must be followed and kept!

Negation - I un affirm my own subjective argument as he properly refuted it ( I actually thought he would not). The title of the debate does specific that this is in reference to the Christian God, the Title does not state we are debating under the pretense that the Christian God exists nor did it prohibit a non christian from posting. I am actually a Catholic so I meet these standards either way Basically he drops all of my points. For this stance to be true he must first show that God does exist, and that God is the ultimate authority. Operating under the assumption it is the Christian God does not change that. Since he failed to uphold his burden and there are no new arguments in the last round, the resolution can not be affirmed. He is assuming God is prima facie true without explaining why, or laying it out in his opening round.
"Christians" - The 10 Commandments are still in effect and must be followed and kept!

Again, it is obvious that CON cannot read. The description of the subject matter is: "Christians" - The 10 Commandments are still in effect and must be followed and kept! The key word "CHRISTIANS" if you are not a Christian, there is no need for you to be arguing something you do not believe in because no matter what you will never belive until the day The Messiah returns. So please, read the topic of the debate before you accept!
"Christians" - The 10 Commandments are still in effect and must be followed and kept!

Pro just posts the 10 commandments and says they must be followed. There are fundamental issues with this argument because it makes a great many assumptions. Pro never gives any reasons that we should follow the 10 commandments other than God says so. His entire round is just elaborating on that. This is his BOP 1) Existence For pros case to be true, he must first establish that God exists. God has to exist in order for his logic to follow through. He is basically saying everything God says is good, so therefore we must follow everything God says. God has to exist for this to be true. It's his BOP to show that. 2) Authority Pro must show that God is the sole source of authority on earth. So even if he establishes that God exists, he must show that the dilemma he invoked is in fact true. Everything God says must be good or there is no reason to believe that we must follow the 10 commandments. Case ) There is no reason to follow the 10 commandments. I can upgrade the 10 commandments and expound on them and also improve them. Why would I follow 10 commandments from a book that is not historically accurate. Pro has given me no reason to believe that I must follow them. C) For pro to win this debate he must back up his own logic. He must first show that God exists, and then he must show that everything God says is correct as that is what his case hinges off of. His case is below in a nutshell 1) Everything God commands we should follow 2) God wrote the 10 commandments c) We should follow the 10 commandments because God commanded them. AS I said he must first establish that God in fact exists and that everything God says is true or his case is invalid. He will not uphold his BOP or affirm the resolution at hand. He basically made an entire argument off assumptions without laying the groundwork for it.
Feminism

I believe that Feminism is coming out of hand. At first it was a good cause and was for woman rights but now they are taking it too far. I believe feminism is the equality of woman but I also believe we've already got to that point. I think what some feminists don't understand is that some woman like being a stay at home mom and by them still pursuing it it makes them feel inferior. I've also met some feminist who say that they think that woman are superior and I do not think that is anywhere near the truth. We need each other not only as partners but as a union our minds work differently and we need our other part for the world to be in harmony.
The below video will most likely make you smile.

My opponent's possible reasons for not smiling at the video are rude, inconsiderate, and wrong. I did not smile while watching the video. Just a note–this does not mean I did not enjoy it. However: 1. I usually don't smile when I'm just sitting on my own, watching in a video. There's not much point in an outward display of emotion. It's all in the mind. 2. The most interesting part of the video to me was the song. I can listen to the song while browsing around the site. I was not actually watching the video; however, this is still "during the video." Why others may not smile: 1. Same reason as my #1. 2. Same reason as my #2. Many people are on Debate.org to take part in its interesting debates and forums; thus, they could quickly lose interest in a LONG (5:00+) video. 3. Wedding ceremonies are not happy for everyone. With increasing divorce rates, nearly 50% of children have parents who have gone through a divorce. [1] A video with a wedding ceremony conjures extremely unhappy memories of this person's parents' unhappy marriage. 4. Some may just not find it very interesting. One does not have to find enough joy to smile outwardly to oneself just by seeing a video of two random people marrying. 5. Some may be offended. For example, a devout believer in the "sanctity of marriage" may see this ceremony as too informal for creating a lifelong bond in the eyes of a God. Conclusion: There are many reasons not to smile at the video. People generally just might not smile while sitting alone at a computer, watching a video, even if it is pleasant. Some might get distracted by the very interesting aspects of Debate.org. Others may get upset at wedding ceremonies in general, and would probably be very distressed by Nags's insensitive comments regarding those who may not smile at the video.

The below video will most likely make you smile.

*This debate is in regards to the first video entitled "JK Wedding Entrance Dance". In regards to the second video entitled "Amanda Show - Judge Trudy from the first episode!" see below. *Note- the video is real, it is an actual wedding ceremony. It is not for a movie or a commercial. I am Pro. If the voter smiles during the video, default 7 points to Pro. My opponent is Con. If the voter does not smile during the video, default 7 points to Con. *NO SEMANTICS. If you do, your body will immediately vanquish and you will spend the next 6,969 years in Azkaban. Yes, Azkaban, the Harry Potter prison with dementors and what-not. And demontors will suck the soul out of your body, so you don't want that. Also, all 7 points will be defaulted to Pro. So use semantics sparingly, because you now know the consequences. MUAHAAHAH. ========== I know I smiled the whole way through the video. The wedding celebration is just out of the ordinary and very happy the whole way through. Almost everybody in the YouTube "Comments" section loved it and so did everyone attending the ceremony. If you don't smile, I can only conclude that you are either: A) My opponent B) A slack job daffodil C) Hitler D) All of the above If you are normal, vote for me, Pro. If you are my opponent, a slack job daffodil, or Hitler, vote for Con. Court dismissed. Bring in the dancing lobsters. (See second video at 3:07) http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com...
Is the evidence for the biblical flood sufficient

How certain are you? Because it doesn't say how long Noah had to build the Ark or check all of the animals or any tools to check the animals so what you've just said so far is quite ludicrous to be honest. Again most of the water probably came from underneath the earth also speaking of Mount Everest how do you explain petrified clams found on top of Mount Everest as well as dead carcasses found found and crinoids found on top of Mount Everest http://mathisencorollary.blogspot.co.uk... I'm not saying that it was doubled I'm said maybe it was double doubled I don't know for sure. If atmospheric pressure use to be higher millions of years ago according to you where is the evidence that shows this and what caused it to fluctuate? Actually Christianity indicates that the earth is around 6,000 to 10,000 year's old and what evidence is there to even indicate that the earth is millions of years old? Just the fact that you said that you said the flood killed "SEVERAL" people as well as innocent just shows me how unprepared you are for this debate and the Bible says we should kill anyone nothing about what God is allowed to do to "His" creation. Thank You
Is the evidence for the biblical flood sufficient

I am certain that Noah didn't take the time to check the animals for diseases for he had no tools or time to do so. Animals can have diseases that are not superficial. I used Mt. Everest as a reference point to display how fast the rain had to fall. The current atmospheric pressure in approximately 370 ppm CO2 and 21% O2, so if this were doubled, it still wouldn't reach the requirement for a significant increase of photosynthetic rates. In order for the plants to grow significantly faster as a result of raised atmospheric pressure, then the pressure must have been globally equivalent to (or higher than) that of the cretaceous period when the atmospheric pressure was at 2000 ppm CO2 30% O2. Although the photosynthetic rates increased, the only time the O2 rates fluctuated significantly, was millions of years ago. The Department of Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences in North Carolina have tested this in a hyperbaric chamber. But according to Christianity, the earth is only 4000 years old thus barring all of the scientific evidence that proves this, which then contradicts their own reasons the flood actually happened. This ironically spontaneous influx of O2 has not been shown in scientific records, so it is almost safe to say that this couldn't have been a possibility. In the bible, God created this flood which killed several people, innocent and wicked even the babies which would certainly go against the pro-life ideology of Christianity. Unless God told everyone to take one for the team. I know that in Sumer, people were told to go onto the highest point of the building to survive, but the buildings were made of mud brick, which wouldn't stand to force of such a flood. https://gsa.confex.com...
Is the evidence for the biblical flood sufficient

Genesis 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. And by the fountains of the deep it means the water underneath the earth then it rained for 150 days I would assume Noah would use his initiative and take healthy animals also what diseases are you talking about many of the diseases we have today are what some people speculate mutations and in my opinion most of the diseases came about in a laboratory such as the common Cold. Before the flood I don't think mount everest was there the bible saysThey go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. Psalm 104:8 I would say that it created a greenhouse effect I would probably double atmospheric pressure which would somewhat replicate the conditions in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber were plants grow twice as fast, yes "we" can't create or destroy energy doesn't mean God can't think about it look at of the energy here on this planet how did it get here evolution doesn't provide a good enough explanation so it must have been the product of Gods creation. And last but not least this is not criticism this is advise if you're going to debate about a specific topic do a little bit of research, I'm only saying this based on your argument. Kind regards to everyone reading this debate
