People shouldn't base all or most logic and reason on Science

1. This debate is about if you should base most your fundamental beliefs, and everyday lives, upon Science (Knowledge gained by observation). If you want to talk about religion, I'll make a new debate after this one and put you as the opponent. 2. I'm saying that, facts about the Universe as so "obvious" to us because of our human perception. If we were all each 1000x smarter than the average human, we'd have a completely different perception of the Universe. If you would consider Darwinian Evolution to be true, we'd look like we have to knowledge of baby compared to creatures 1000x smarter than us. So I'm saying, that no one should take Science as seriously as some people, because for all we know we may not be headed down the Yellow Brick Road. Science is based off of logic, but only human logic. If Darwinian Evolution is true, our logic will look like Cave Man logic one day.
People shouldn't base all or most logic and reason on Science

Of course you can be certain about things in Science, but, again, that is only human interpretation. It's correct to us partly because the limitations in our minds. In regards to religion, people that believe in whatever they believe for an incorrect reason are just plainly ignorant. While belief in ignorance happens a lot, you can't speak of religion unless you also mention that there's some people who have a religion, and don't believe it because of bad reasoning and things like that (I.e., I'm not a Muslim, but I can see how someone could believe in Islam.). As for the multiple religions and denominations, your point is kind of irrelevant. No matter how much false beliefs and deceptions happen, that doesn't change the truth. You can know which one of them is true by seeking out the answer. About computers, though, the same thing applies: "that is only human interpretation. It's correct to us partly because the limitations in our minds.". Obviously I believe that 2 + 2 = 4, but the father you go from the very obvious things, the less sure you get. For example: How do you divide 5 among 3 people equally? Also, to people other than the person debating against me: Please ignore the spelling, and focus only on the points made.

well if i lose this it has to be for no other reason than my grammar. maybe in your world you cant be sure about anything scientifically but i understand simple math and freaking two plus two. i guess you don't know whether or not your alive. i say i think therefor i am. if we were figments of gods imagination we would not feel or think and god wouldnt be cruel in reality he would only be cruel at heart. however when it comes to god sure nothing can be known. but science has PROVEN beyond any doubt several things like the planet isn't flat yada yada. this can be proven to everybody because of the time zones. they would not be the same if the earth was flat. there would never be night in one place, during the daytime in another. your right in saying that you can't be right about a theory. did you just learn the concept of a theory or something because everybody knows that. theories are based on facts and probability while religious dogma is based (over 99.9 times) on someones imagination and emotions. thats how a lot of christians chose a religion. well your emotions and your conscience consists of vague reminiscences of precepts heard in early youth. thats why all the people in the ages of faith did what they did. because of their consciences and emotions. i know the beliefs are wrong 99.9 percent of the time because of the contradictions between the thousands of religions. not to mention the different combinations of beliefs like you see in the 35000 denominations of christianity. how many of you can be right? you might argue that you are right about one thing which is god and that religion is a way to god but lies are never the way to find truth. when a perfect all powerful god speaks if he ever did speak would end controversy and conflict that results from it. not cause both. you spoke of machines. im guessing you are talking about computers which make so... so many less mistakes than us that it would be like trusting a 3rd grade special ed kid over a famous philosopher or scientist not to mention a computer is not infallible all the time. i don't know much about computers but i know that. sounds like you don'ta know nothing dude.
People shouldn't base all or most logic and reason on Science

oh well my apologies. i thought that was the debate. i thought you were saying we should base our logic and reason on science. you have yet to offer another thing we should base our logic on. after the first time i spoke of religion you were talking about religion so i think you've been defeated but instead of admitting defeat your now saying this debate is not about religion. you were just talking about religion. you talked about muslims and the said it's possible to know the true religion when you search for the answer and i clearly refuted that beyond a reasonable doubt. if you dont want to talk about religion then... dont talk about religion. saying that if we were a thousand times smarter that we would have a different perception of the universe is like saying if we were a thousand times smarter we would have a different perception of two plus two. we would have a new perception on some things no doubt but that wouldn't change facts like the worlds are round and not flat or the worlds revolve around stars or all the matter of the universe comes from stars. that would change the facts so i don't know what your point is. we arent headed down the yellow brick road? so your saying we arent smart enough to know whether or not we are right about scientific facts? i know that we are headed down that yellow brick road because light bulbs work. i have a house that has power and heat and air. i drive a car that gets me from a to b. i watch tv and take pictures. i can go to a doctor and get medicines and treatments that will make me better when i'm ill. earlier humans were in caves freezing there buts off in the winter and dying when they were thirty tops. today we live to be over twice that age and we have good homes that keep us warm in the summer with plenty of entertainment and things that keep us much happier. tell me where should the yellow brick road get us? i think the yellow brick road should lead to human happiness. and it has clearly done that while the religions you were just defending have done the opposite of that. so religion isn't the yellow brick road. and your saying we shouldn't base our logic on science (observation) but we should wait until humans evolve more to start having logic? how can we base our logic today on the observation of future generations that are a million years in the future. thats impossible. you have yet to offer anything else we can base our logic on besides religion but then after i refuted that you said this debate is not about religion. so make up your mind and come to a point. you have yet to make a single point.
which game is better call of duty 4 or battle field bad company

Battlefield does have less gametypes than Cod4, but not to the extent you are proposing (1). The game makes up for it by making the gametypes "meaningful". Technically speaking, Cod4 has the same amount of gametypes, as it has only Deathmatch, team deathmatch, Sabotage, Search and destroy, and headquarters. The "gametypes" you refer to are more of just playlists, that just choose how many people will be participating in those already mentioned gametypes. Prestige is a joke. It tricks people into a grindfest, they think each "prestige" is unique, but it just shows how much time they have wasted; they are playing the same game over. I would much rather spend my time on the first game, then choose to start over just for starting over. Battlefield, for its 1) Fully Destructable Environment 2) Improved Graphics Engine 3) Having Everything CoD4 has and then Improving it 4) A Dynamic Vehicle System, should be considered superior to CoD4.

since playing cod4 makes you wait for a gun it encoureges you to play the game longer and better. it makes you play the game more tactical. also in bfbc once you get a gun its done with. no 'extras' anymore. in cod4 once you get a gun and love it you can keep working for it by getting headshots and kills with the weapon. this allows you to get cool camo's placed on your gun. even golden skins on your gun. not only does this represent that your a good player but that you are dedicated. also cod4 ranking system is much more intricate. you have levels 1-55 then prestige then levels 1-55 second prestige and so on. this goes all the way to tenth prestige. obviously Infiinity Ward put more thought and time into the game. just think about all the game types they created. this is a big factor. free for all - team deathmatch - team tactical- cage match. last time i checked bfbc has only one gametype. a game called goldrush. now i know that you can DOWNLOAD a game called conquest. thats only two games that DICE decided to come up with. not alot of work there. so this is why i feel that cod4 is better than bfbc i hope you voters decide right and not because the game is newer.

"i do agree that bfbc [battlefield bad company]] allows you to play with more people in one match but not only does that improve the chances of having idiots in your server but greatly enhances the games laginess. [glitches] cod4 [call of duty 4] hardly has any lagy games and if it does its because some idiot feels like being the host while playing through a storm. like you said bfbc did steal customizable classes from cod4 and that was a big factor in cod4 triumph. also lets talk about sniping in the game. sniping is a big factor in shooting games. bfbc dosnt have prone which really does give away your spot. cod4 has ghillie suits to disguise yourself and real live snipers. yes the snipers in bfbc are real to but they dont have the obvious ones that many people like such as the 50 cal and m40a3." Hmm, a classic debate quandry, opinion or fact? Your entire arguement is composed of what you want. Bad Company allows you to play with more people in a lagless, glitchless game. In Cod4 you can easily get out of the map for easy kills. Thank you for admitting that Bad Company did take the one good thing that Cod4 had, customizable classes. Sniping is supposed to represent skill in shooter games. In Bad company it takes two shots or a head shot to recieve a sniping kill. In Cod4, just simply hit him once in the body while laying prone in a field of grass in your ghillie suit. What a great game, you have taken skill, and molested it until it bled to death. Then you replaced it with camping to add insult to injury. There are various sniper weaponry that is available and unlockable, except in Bad Company you have a choice and are not forced to wait for level 45 to recieve a gun you really want, you can choose your own path of what you earn.

Battlefield Bad Company shares many aspects of Call of Duty 4 as they were both published by EA. Bad Company has come out sooner, however, and has taken many of Call of Duty's great features (customizable classes, team goals, etc.) and has added the ability to have more people on a single game, has added vehicles, has added completely destructible environments, and has improved graphics. Call of Duty 4 is, by today's standards, outdated.

Your turn.
The drinking age should be lowered to 18 years old and driving age to 18

The drinking age in the United States should be lowered to 18 since it is 21 right now. I think that it will help prevent less accidents and people will learn a lot earlier from their bad actions with drinking. The United States should be equal with the other countries when it comes to the drinking age. If the other countries aren't having as many problems as us with drinking, then we need to try what those other countries are doing.
The drinking age should be lowered to 18 years old and driving age to 18

Yes, I think the drinking age should be lowered to 18. In Europe the drinking age is 16 years old. Statistics say that since the people over there start drinking at age 16, by the time they get there license at age 18 they don't care as much about drinking and care more about driving since they have their license. There are less drinking and driving accidents over in Europe than in any other place in the world. Almost every country besides us has a drinking age of 18. I think if other countries are handling it fine then we should be able to.
this should be the outline for reforming social security

"you mention that a lot of people dont like the idea of reducing benfits, but the statement has no context. do they not want to reduce just the rich like donald trump and the richeest men the world? or are they just against their own benefits being reduced? i mean, even if you didn't want to reduce anyone's benefit, i dont know if that's mathematically possible. if all you do is raise the payroll cap that alone could only solve the problem for a couple generations. and, if you got into the 'make this more about insurance for the less well off', that is essentially cutting benefits in the mean time while we wait for the system to function more properly."Social Security should not be reformed.That is my stance.
this should be the outline for reforming social security

what exactly is your point? you cited this, which is exactly what ive said: "After the reserves are exhausted, the system still will be receiving tax revenue, but it will only be enough to pay about three-quarters of scheduled benefits " unless Congress changes the benefit formulas, raises the payroll tax, or makes other changes such as raising the cap on taxable wage income (currently $118,500)." [1]" you mention that a lot of people dont like the idea of reducing benfits, but the statement has no context. do they not want to reduce just the rich like donald trump and the richeest men the world? or are they just against their own benefits being reduced? i mean, even if you didn't want to reduce anyone's benefit, i dont know if that's mathematically possible. if all you do is raise the payroll cap that alone could only solve the problem for a couple generations. and, if you got into the 'make this more about insurance for the less well off', that is essentially cutting benefits in the mean time while we wait for the system to function more properly. it looks like you just posted an fyi statement, general information. but haven't given a clear statement on your position.
