God and Science (Specifically Evolution and Big Bang) are Mutually Exclusive

I will argue that God and Science are not mutually exclusive. The two most obvious points of dispute, of course, are Evolution versus Creationism and the Big Bang versus creationism. It seems today that there is much debate over whether "God is dead" and if evolution or religion is right, as if you may only choose one or the other- a god-fearing ignorant or a brilliant atheist. This is not true. For instance, Pope John Paul II, former leader of the largest single church in the world, in his 1996 address to the Pontificial Academy of Sciences, stated that "In his encyclical Humani Generis (1950), my predecessor [Pope] Pius XII has already affirmed that there is no conflict between evolution and the doctrine of the faith regarding man and his vocation, " (1) confirming that not only, to him and the people of his faith, are God and Evolution not mutually exclusive, but capable of coexistence. Father George Coyne, an astronomer, even stated "Intelligent design isn't science even though it pretends to be. If you want to teach it in schools, intelligent design should be taught when religion or cultural history is taught, not science" This pattern continues for all science- the Catholic Church does not find any dispute between God and Science, mostly by explaining science as the work of God- when Physicists cannot explain what caused the Big Bang, they turn to God, and when one questions the probability of evolution happening on its own, they similarly draw on divine intervention- but not to the point of promoting "Intelligent Design". I would further point out the Clergy Letter Project, whose sole purpose is to promote the view that science and religion are two separate and compatible domains. The open letter has been signed by 11,000+ clergy members from around the world.
Legalization of Marijuana

The drug should not be legalized because if it is, then other drugs like herion and cocaine might be made legal as well. While it is used to treat diseases like cancer and other medical problems, which I have no problems with, if it was legalized, then dealers would be free to sell it on the streets to anyone they wanted. Crime would go up because as more of it sells, gangs would want to enlarge their territories, thus putting people who live in the areas in the middle of a possible gang war, and cause innocent people to be seriously hurt or killed. Drugs like marijuana are harmful to young children as it messes with their brain, which is still in important developing processes, if legalized then it increases the danger marijuana poses to them. Any drug has a risk of overdose no matter what it is, cocaine and herion are placed in the same category as marijuana, and you can over dose on the two, every drug has the possibility of over dosing.
Legalization of Marijuana

There is no nice way to say this so i just will. I was simply uninterested in debating you because not only did you not follow my provided format, but your arguments portray that your level of ignorance regarding marijuana is quite significant. For example, "if it was legalized, then dealers would be free to sell it on the streets to anyone they wanted." And, "any drug has a risk of overdose no matter what it is, cocaine and heroin are placed in the same category as marijuana, and you can over dose on the two, every drug has the possibility of over dosing." Also, " Crime would go up because as more of it sells, gangs would want to enlarge their territories, thus putting people who live in the areas in the middle of a possible gang war, and cause innocent people to be seriously hurt or killed." These statements (and some of your others) are incredibly fallacious and uninformed. I suggest you either research the topic or at least view my other debates. I will post this argument again, however, please only accept if/when you are more knowledgeable in the subject thank you. Take this as you will.
Legalization of Marijuana

Another reason that marijuana should not be legalized because it could cause young children to think that it's ok to do drugs. Legalizing drugs is like telling a teen it's ok to engage in risky behavior, when drugs are involved, there is an increase of possible death or permeant injury. I'll agree that prescribed drugs are just as easily abused, but this drug should be used due to its "safe" use, when actually it could cause serious problems later on in life or cause a serious reaction due to a existing medical condition. Again this can happen with prescribed drugs, but the drug in question is just as dangerous as herion and cocaine.
The Porsche Cayman is Superior to the Chevrolet Corvette

I believe the Porsche Cayman is better than the Chevrolet Corvette. A 50k car shootout. No high-performance editions like the GT4 or the Z06. Format: First Round is acceptance only. Second round is for arguing your main point. Third round is for a rebuttal. Rules: 1.No forfeiting. 2.Keep it clean. No swearing or insults. 3.This is on which is a better car overall, not just on performance (although that can be used as a point). Good Luck!
The Porsche Cayman is Superior to the Chevrolet Corvette

Pro failed to provide evidence that it was tested against the GT(FT) 86 and also failed to prove how that makes it better than the Corvette. I do know that the Cayman is supposed to be faster through corners, however, as I have stated, only generates 0.01 more lateral g at maximum through the corners. Even the Subaru WRX STI, which is only around half the price of the cayman, has more horsepower than it. Although I don't think that is a concern since the Porsche is lighter, it is still a point worth noticing.
The Porsche Cayman is Superior to the Chevrolet Corvette

The Cayman is usually the benchmark for fun, balanced cars. When the engineers at Subaru and Toyota were creating the GT-86 and its relatives, the FR-S and the BRZ, they tested their cars against the Porsche Cayman. Why? The engineers wanted to make a fun, balanced car. This solidifies the Cayman's reputation as the premium lightweight sports car. Whenever a new, fun car is released, such as the Alfa Romeo 4C, car journalists always compare it to the Cayman. It is just that good. Now, some nitpicks that may or may not matter: The opponent said that from the Corvette took 3.8 seconds, and the Cayman took 5.4 seconds. He did not actually say that it was the 0-60 time, which it was. Just a bit confusing. The source that he used for the lateral acceleration figures was a site specifically for GM cars. An impartial source would have been better. The opponent stated that the Corvette's automatic shifted faster than the Cayman's PDK. However, since my argument is based on how fun the Cayman is, that fact is irrelevant to me. Shifting through the gears on a manual is definitely more rewarding than letting an automatic do it. The opponent added an optional package to the Corvette. I believe that we are arguing base models only. Power and straight-line performance is not the point of the Cayman. The Cayman is, rather, a beauty around the corners. While the Corvette is better in a straight line, the Cayman is not exactly underpowered. 275 horsepower from the base 2.7 liter engine is more than enough for fun, twisting roads and for cutting through people-carriers in traffic. Thank you, con, for participating, and thanks to the voters.
The Porsche Cayman is Superior to the Chevrolet Corvette

You are arguing that it is more of a driver's car because of it's weight and mid engine configuration. However, the Corvette is far from behind in handling. GMauthority tested 1.03g of lateral acceleration. That is only .01 g less than the Porche's score of 1.04g. The Corvette also only uses 3.8 secs while the Porsche took an 5.4 seconds. So the Corvette, although heavier is much faster in acceleration and almost matching handling. Refinement is very subjective but I believe that Corvette is a comfortable car too. The Corvette has a Napa Leather interior and a hand stretched leather-wrapped instrument panel starting at 3LS which, if you ask me, is rather luxurious. Even if you do not choose 3LS, you will still get a hand wrapped leather steering wheel. The magnetic ride control combined with an adjustable suspension really does make the Corvette quite comfortable to sit in. It also comes with mylink which does not come standard in the Porsche. Also, the Corvette comes with 5 different selectable modes four well suited response under all situations, the Cayman only offers a sport mode with an additional fee. Also, the automatic in the 'vette shifts faster than the Porsche PDK.
The Porsche Cayman is Superior to the Chevrolet Corvette

Both are great sports cars for the money. However, I am arguing that the Cayman is the more fun driver's car. It's mid-engine configuration makes it exceptionally balanced. The Porsche is also lighter - 2,888 pounds, versus the Corvette's 3,298 pounds. While neither of these are exactly heavy - the Mustang GT weighs 3,530 pounds - the Cayman should still be able to outmaneuver the Corvette. The Cayman's refinement also allows for it to be used as a daily driver. In the past, the Corvette has had issues with build quality. While the latest C7 generation is better in this aspect, the Corvette still can not match the Cayman in terms of overall comfort. I think that the Cayman is balanced (get it?) in the way that it has refinement, but is still an extremely fun car.
Cheese is better than Toast

I feel like this may be an attempt to earn voting privileges, but I'm in the same boat so what the hell. Its ridiculous and I like it. That being, said toast is most certainly better than cheese. While both come with a great deal of variety, toast is a blank canvas on which there are endless possibilities for the creative and hungry consumer. If you were to consider either item completely on it's own, toast is able to be eaten by a much broader audience. People with dairy allergies or who are vegan cannot enjoy cheese. Anyone can have toast, even those that are "gluten intolerant" (gluten free bread). Cheese is a wonderful thing (especially if it is from tillamook) but simply cannot compare with the delicious unending possibilities of toast.

Fishing Rod Defense Villager"s attack where he drops a bowling ball hits people fine, so I don"t see why Shovel Knight Fishing rod would have problems hitting characters. It wouldn"t cast infinitely when used off stage, it would end when it goes off screen, although by that time he may have lost enough height to not be able to recover, but many characters have down B attacks that can kill themselves when used off stage. Propeller dagger As for my opponents concerns that this attack would be too spammable, it is unnecessary and in fact unrealistic to find the perfect balance between powerful and fair in the design/speculation stage. Character"s movesets get tweaked during during playtesting for balance, and sometimes even after release they get patches to further balance them. So arguing that one attack might be too spammable isn"t enough reason to dismiss a character"s moveset. Counter defense My opponent claims what makes Phoenix Wright unique is that he "searches for evidence", but an attack which all it does is charge another attack is not a very good gimmick. Conclusion Shovel Knight has unique attacks and is proven to be a popular character and would make a good smash Character. Sources Conclusion I used sources to support why Shovel Knight is popular enough to be in Smash Bros, while my opponent didn"t use any sources at all.

I thank RainbowDash52 for doing this debate. With that, it's time for my final Cross Examination.Rebuttal: "Fishing rodHe casts it. I guess that is the more accurate term, but he casts it straight down."That attack sounds bad. The only way it would hit if ifyou're in mid-air. But I guess it does make a decent edge guard, assuming it doesn't cast infinitely, KOing Shovel Knight if used off-stage."Propeller daggerYes, the recovery would be a little similar to DK as in bad vertical recovery but good horizontal recovery, but it would be more exaggerated with Shovel Knight, since he would get no additional vertical recovery, but better horizontal recovery because he could use it multiple times in the air unlike DK"s recovery move. Also it would probably be medium-weak power to balance out how the attack isn"t very punishable."Eh... Smash Bros doesn't really have spammable moves like this. Fox anf Falco's blasters stop movement. Link's arrows are chargable, and have ending lag. Pretty much any projectile or charging melee attack is punishable. They would not include a character with a spammable attack, since it's cheap, no matter how low percent it does.[And if you say "low power", that means little. Smash isn't a traditional fighting game. Instead of lowering the opponent's HP to 0, you damage them enough to launch them off the screen. When you post for Round 4, type what percent and launching power all the attacks would do.]Defense:"The "Phoenix Wright has been around longer" argument isn"t really good since Greninja was added to Smash Bros about a year after Greninja appeared in his first games, Pokemon X and Y. Being around longer doesn"t make it a better candidate since Smash Bros uses both old and new characters."Well... true. Date of release isn't really something to take acount for. Instead, we need to find potential and see if they're worth being in Smash Bros.Even though the Ace Attorney series doesn't involve fighting, we can still find some things to work with, such as Logic Blast being a reference to Ace Attorney Investigations. His move set is pretty unique in terms of origins, mainly from UMvC3. He makes a great character because his gimmick involves collecting evidence whenever safe, and then unleashing a level 5 Objection. His final smash is prudicing Psyche Locks, which explode, doing great damage and launching power. Especially the final Psyche Lock!Shovel Knight is a popular indie character. His move set involves a lot of smacking people with his shovel... yeah. That sounds a bit dull to me. He's also got a variety of weapons/tools, like throwing an anchor for his recovery. His final smash is dancing fish. Maybe he should go to Project: Crusade.Conclusion:I feel like Shovel Knight is an alright candidate, but his move set is dull. Similar could be said with Phoenix Wright though, with all the pointing. But Wright has a good reason to be in Smash Bros, and has a special gimmick. Shovel Knight doesn't bring anything interesting, except being Indie.So what do you say, RainbowDash? Is Phoenix Wright 20% cooler than Shovel Knight? (I had to. Sorry.)

Fishing rod He casts it. I guess that is the more accurate term, but he casts it straight down. Propeller dagger Yes, the recovery would be a little similar to DK as in bad vertical recovery but good horizontal recovery, but it would be more exaggerated with Shovel Knight, since he would get no additional vertical recovery, but better horizontal recovery because he could use it multiple times in the air unlike DK"s recovery move.

Counter argument With the Objection attack, when do the objection points reset? Do they reset after using the attack? Do they reset after Phoenix Wright dies? If they reset after using the attack, then it is similar to Wario"s waft attack, which takes only 1 minute 49 seconds to fully charge. [1] So the only unique part of this attack is that there is a second attack which all it does is charges it faster. Several attacks seem underwhelming, like sneezing, pointing, and dusting off floor. But maybe that is just because I haven"t played any of the Ace Attorney games. Clarifying Shovel Knight"s special attacks Chaos Sphere: This attack has moderate speed but low power. Fishing rod, The rod is a heavy anchor, and it drops until it hits a platform, and would do strong damage, and has decent speed. If used in the air it would cancel horizontal momentum, but he would still fall. This attack when used in the air would have longer starting lag than on the ground to balance out the increased range it would have. (although in the game he can"t use the fishing rod in the air, a special attack that couldn"t be used in the air would suck) Anchor throw, Although not a good recovery option, his side special, propeller dagger, would give good horizontal recovery. This attack would be similar to yoshi"s egg throw attack, but slower, stronger, and follows the same trajectory each time Propeller dagger When used in the air, it does not prevent the user from using other attacks afterwards, so the user can even use propeller dagger multiple times when trying to recover. So Shovel Knight would have really good horizontal recovery with this attack but bad vertical recovery, which makes him unique. Additional points Phoenix Wright is a Capcom character, and Smash Bros already has 2 Capcom characters, Mega Man and Ryu. [2] Shovel Knight, on the other hand would be the first indie character in Smash Bros. The most likely reason why Shovel Knight was not already added as a Smash Bros character was because at the time Smash Bros DLC characters were being added, Shovel Knight was not yet released in Japan, so it wouldn"t appeal to the Japanese audience. But Shovel Knight is now available in Japan as of July 2016 [3], so there is no longer any reason not to add Shovel Knight to Smash Bros. Sources [1] http://supersmashbros.wikia.com...

I choose Shovel Knight as a new Smash Brothers character. Moveset Jab: shovel hit -Fast but short range Side/Forward Tilt: shovel slash -Wider range than shovel hit, but slower Down Tilt: shovel -Like shovel hit but lower Up Tilt: shovel up-stab -Quick but only hits directly above Up Smash: shovel up-slash -Waves shovel overhead, wider range than up-stab Side/Forward Smash: charge shovel -Slashes shovel with large range Down Smash: shovel spark -Like the down tilt, but i creates a spark on the ground that travels forward (like from the game) Dash Attack: double dust knuckles -Uses the dust knuckles punch two times in a row. Each punch moves him forward(like from the game) Grab: standard grab Up Throw: throws upward Forward Throw: throws forward Back Throw: throws backward Down Throw: shovels into ground Pummel when grabbing the opponent: hit with shovel Neutral Special: chaos sphere -Throws a chaos sphere forward, and it bounces 3 times then disappears on the fourth bounce (like from the game) Side Special: propeller dagger -Launches himself forward while attacking with his propeller dagger. (like from the game) Down Special: fishing rod -Drops a fishing rod downwards damaging enemies.(like from the game) Up Special: throwing anchor -Throws an anchor upwards, that travels in an arch shape (like from the game) Neutral Air: shovel hit Forward Air: shovel slash Back Air: back shovel hit Down Air: shovel drop -points shovel downwards to attack while descending (like from the game) Up Air: shovel up-stab Final Smash, Troupple King dance -The Troupple King appears in the background, to perform his dance. The fishes that dance along with him attack the enemies. Why Shovel Knight? 1. Shovel Knight won game of the year in 2014, which demonstrates his popularity. http://www.polygon.com... 2. Shovel Knight's attacks from the game translates well into Smash Bros 3. Shovel Knight was the first indie game character to receive his own Nintendo Amiibo, which indicates Shovel Knight would be a great first indie character to join Smash Bro's. http://www.businesswire.com...

Can we finally get it this time? Please? Hello. This is PowerPikachu21, and I want to know what video game characters should be in Super Smash Bros.I prohibit any bull*** on these types of things, and want a serious debate. If you do choose to try to get some stupid thing on my debate, you'll be denied access to accepting any future debates of mine. You must select a character which came from a video game. You can NOT choose something or someone from a TV Show, Movie, Comic, Brand, Real Life, Fanfiction, YouTube, or any variations of the kind. And if you choose an object from a video game, get out. Only characters from video games. Not following the rules counts as being eliminated.You must create a perfect move set for your chosen video game character. That means: Jab, Side/Forward Tilt, Down Tilt, Up Tilt, Up Smash, Side/Forward Smash, Down Smash, Dash Attack, Grab, Up Throw, Forward Throw, Back Throw, Down Throw, Pummel when grabbing the opponent, Neutral Special, Side Special, Down Special, Up Special, Neutral Air, Forward Air, Back Air, Down Air, Up Air, and Final Smash. If you're missing one of these, I WILL call you out, and if you don't get it right the next round, you will be eliminated.Oh! And no characters that are in an Official Super Smash Brothers game, whether from Super Smash Brothers 64, Super Smash Brothers Melee, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Super Smash Brothers 3DS, Super Smash Bros 3DS's DLC, Super Smash Brothers Wii U, or Super Smash Brothers Wii U's DLC. Doing so makes you eliminated.Do not think about running out of time. If you do run away from this debate, and fail to post, you get eliminated as soon as the timer reached 0 Days, 0 Hours, 0 Minutes, 0 Seconds.Are we clear? Can we eliminate all trolls on the premises? ("eliminated" means you lose.)I choose Phoenix Wright from the Ace Attorney series by CapCom, a well known company. You must have at least 1 debate cleared to accept this debate. If you have any questions regarding this debate, contact me in the comment section of this debate.(If you are wondering why I'm being very specific about the rules, and why everything's in paragraphs, that's how fed up I am with these users)
Censorship of the Internet

It shouldn't be the government's choice Censorship is not always bad, such as blocking cuss words or sex scenes. When censorship extends to, entire books, movies, and TV shows, is when it should be stopped. The government does not have the right to decide what is acceptable for people to see and hear, even kids. Why ,do you think, should the government regulate what kids see? Shouldn't it be the parents job to keep their children away from these bad things? The parents of these kids should be parents and keep the bad things away from their kids, not the government. My argument is that every coin is two-sided, and that censorship, is, indeed, a coin.
DDO voting category S&G should be changed to "Who communicated best?"

1. Clear communication hinges on spelling and grammar in text. To be able to separate the two is a challenge I've yet to see completed; a person's spelling and grammar is key since misspelled words and bad grammar actually can change entire meanings for phrases and this also true of syntax and punctuation. The core of the misquotation of a person rests entirely on these factors.A good argument. However, if the debater's message is nevertheless received by his audience, why should debate points be taken away?An example, the word pterodactyl is extremely difficult to spell for most people. If we are debating dinosaurs and I spell it "teradactill," you know exactly what I mean, why should debate points be lost?Spelling and grammar are different than communication. Communication is a better measuring stick for a debate.
