The Titanic sank because it hit an iceberg.

http://www.youtube.com...Thank you for your quick response. I will begin with a brief rebuttal of your theory before presenting mine. If you notice there is a video on the right. You can watch it after reading my first theory.Rebuttals:"First of all, there is plenty of evidence to suggest an iceberg. There are pictures of the iceberg believed to be the iceberg to have sunk the Titanic"-The keywords made by Pro in this statement are "suggest" and "believed". This means that Pro's evidence does not prove anything at all. It merely implies that the Titanic was sunk by an iceberg, no one can be a hundred percent sure. "The damage can be seen in an illustration below:" -This is not an accurate piece of evidence. In fact, this is not evidence at all. During the sinking of Titanic, no one was taking a picture of the bottom of the ship, and if there were people who did this, they would likely have died before the picture can reach civilization. -Using this image does not support you at all because it is not evidence. They way Pro is using it is as an logical fallacy. It is like asking the illustrator of the image why they think this image is accurate, and he/she will say: "Because the Titanic hit an iceberg", and if asked why he/she thinks the Titanic hit an iceberg, he/she will say: "Because this picture says so!" -Pro must realize that this image is not evidence, but a claim. This image is the theory itself. You cannot use a theory as evidence for itself. "Now, you must admit, the image below does not work at all:" -Why must I admit that this image does not work when you haven't proven against it?Rebuttal Conclusion: -Pro has not provided sufficient evidence that proves that the Titanic was hit by an iceberg. The evidence he has only implies that the Titanic was hit by an iceberg, but we are not 100% certain. He used a logical fallacy and requests me to admit something when he hasn't explained why. *Furthermore, in Round 1, Pro mentioned himself in the rules that sources must be cited, yet he provided "evidence" without providing any sources. The only source he provided was a link to a dictionary page of the definition of the term "iceberg".________________________________________________________________________________________I will now present my theories________________________________________________________________________________________Theory 1: -Something happened to make the Titanic weigh more than the water it displaced.-->This is the only way a ship can sink. The only reason a ship can float is because it displaces it's own weight on water. Regardless of how heavy it is, if it can displace it's own weight on water, it will float. However, if it weighs more than the water it displaces, it will definately sink. This has been proven 100% true for all boats and ships, therefore my we are 100% sure that my theory is correct, while we are not 100% sure Pro's theory is correct. The picture on the left demonstrates water displacement. The picture on the right demonstrates how ships can displace it's own weight on water. -->Unlike Pro, I will provide plenty of sources that support my claim below, and there will also be a video above.http://science.howstuffworks.com...;http://www.middleschoolchemistry.com...http://en.wikipedia.org...(fluid) ________________________________________________________________________________________Theory 2: Captain Jack Sparrow Did It-Now, everyone knows Captian Jack Sparrow, the notorius pirate, but few know this tale, and I am assuming Pro does not, or else Pro would not suggest such an absurd theory such as the Titanic hitting an iceberg. Gather round children, I shall tell you the unkonw tale of Captain Jack Sparrow and the TitanicThis is a tale of the time Sparrow was yet again stranded on an island, with one gun and one bullet. This time, he was cast out by the mighty pirates "The New York Yankees" led by thier loved captain, Captain Paul Mccartney. Jack was stranded on the island for 4 days, with nothing to eat, and nothing to drink. There was nothing to shoot, so his gun rendered useless. Suddenly, Jack sees a ship! For some reason, Jack felt the need to take a picture of this great ship so he pulled a camera out of his ear and did just that. Here is the picture he took. Jack realized that this ship could be his ticket to civilization. It could save his life! However, no matter how hard he yelled, the ship would not notice him. He needed something to make a large noise that. He looked to his gun and had a great idea!.....He then proceeded to shoot his leg so that he would scream loud enough for the ship to hear him. Lo and behold the ship heard him and brought him on board.Now, Jack was born with a rare disorder in which his fingernails grew 100 times faster than your average human. But it was not a huge issue because he had his handy dandy nail clipper! However, after being on the ship for 3 hours and having left the island he was stranded in so far way, he realized he had forgotten to bring it!He resorted to biting his fingernails instead. But the outcome was not expected. Instead of cutting his fingernails shorter, his teeth only sharpened them! Now, Captain Jack Sparrow is a natural pirate therefore, he loves ships. On his 3rd day in the ship, he requested a tour of the ship from one of the sailors. The sailor gladly obliged.As we all know, Captain Jack Sparrow also likes to touch things. "Hmm...this is a very nice ship. Tell me sailor," He asked while stroking the walls with his fingers, "what are these walls made of OH BLOODY HELL!!!" Because of how sharp his nails were, he's made a 2 meter long opening in the ship from where he stroked the walls!Water started rushing in. This is where Jack Sparrow's heroic side kicks in."Tell everybody to evacuate the ship damn you! Quick!""But...but..sir! What about you?""YO HO YO HO A PIRATES LIFE FOR ME!"After everyone evacuated the ship, Jack was planning, but he could think of nothing."I guess I'll improvise? Let's see...what's in my ear?"He pulls out an empty whiskey bottle that he finished the night before out of his ear."Perfect!"By this point, the ship was already underwater, so everyone assumed it had sunk and that Sparrow has died. But this was not so because Jack has an empty bottle.With the might of a thousand suns Jack shoved the ship with all his might into the bottle.You see, the Titanic hasn't sunk. It still lives! In Jack's empty bottle!"
