Resolved: The sky over planet Earth is not blue.

I did not clearly read the rules, most rebuttals can take place at any time, so if voters see fit, pelase deduct a conduct point for my non-adherence to the round 2 rules.HOWEVER, Con states I did not define opaque. I did define it with my source in the previous round.Con decided to ignore my source and define it. He chose not to click on my link (or ignore it) This redundancy should invoke a reduction in conduct as well, so we should now be considered even in conduct.My opponent has claimed I have dropped many points. This is incorrect, and attempt to make voters think I have conceded. I must clarify my rebuttals so Con will see the sky is blue.Never in your premise was their any indication of the sky needing to be 100% of the time blue. So if the sky is blue at any point in time, I therefore have satsified my BoP. Contention 1: The Sky is Clear:My opponent stated the sky is opaque, or not transparent, and also argues that the sky is clear. This is a contradiction and this contention needs to be thrown out.Con is also trying to argue that nothing has color as everything is white light in only certain waves of light reflect color, but that color does not exist? I do not understand what he is stating.If certain waves of light are relfected off of an apple, a t-shirt, or the collection of gasses in the sky, the wavelengths that our eyes perceive is the color of the object(s).Contention 2: Sunset at Dawn is Red and OrangeMy opponent is correct, I have dropped this point. But the sky in its majority is blue. Therefore I have satisfied BoP. Contention 3: Color BlindnessThe majority outweighs the insignifcant percentage of people who are color blind. This argument is invalid as they do not process color as the average person does.If we are too acccept their opinion and the distortion their color sees, then nothing has a solid color. Everything can change colors when the property of the object is unchanged because some genetic disorder causes a different sight of the object in a few people. Contention 4: Stary Nights I did not drop this point. Color is the wavelengths of light the are relfected off of an object. Since there is no signifcant light present to create a reflection of wave lengths, the color of the object stays the same.If you are holding your shiny, red, Granny Smith apple in your hand in an encolsed, windowless room...and every light source is immedately turned off (so that you are in complete darkness)...is that apple now black??NO. The apple still holds its property of reflecting red light to show its color, but the absence of light prevents it from showing its color. The same logic applies to the sky when the sun is not present. I also never stated the Ocean is blue. The ocean is clear, as I stated water is clear. It reflects the light of the sky. If you wear to take a cup of water from the ocean (instead of your tap) my logic apples. The water is clear.When you swim in the ocean, and you get out, you see water droplets on yourself. They are not blue, they are clear, but are now reflecting the color of your skin due to the transparent effects of water. "Blue wavelengths are absorbed the least by the deep ocean water and are scattered and reflected back to the observer’s eye Particles in the water may help to reflect blue light The ocean reflects the blue sky" http://www.loc.gov...Yes, the ocean does have traits of reflecting blue light, however part of the reason is also due to its relfective properties of the blue sky, which fit will into my reasoning to why it looks blue from space.So the majority of the time, the sky is blue. The sunset is the only time in which it cannot be considered blue. Night time cannot be considered at all in this argument because no light is present to reflect any colors. Black is the absence of color/light.Con's definition of "Is" also states the present.I am located in Wisconsin (USA) and it is precisely 5:01pm.The sky is presently blue due to the height of the sun, and the reflecting of the gasses in the sky showing a clear blue light.
