Everyone is dying

Preceding my rebuttals, I will summarize my opponents. If Pro believes that I am making a straw man argument, I sincerely hope that the opposition manages to point it out. I will try my best to make my summaries concise, comprehensive, and satisfactory to both my audience and my opponent.Debatable Designated DefinitionsIn regards to the semantics of the debate, my opponent has offered these definitions in a post-initial round.Alive (adj.) - Having a "heart [that is] beating"Moment of conception (n.) - Birth of a zygoteMy body (n.) - DyingI refuse all of these definitions, and I will offer alternatives as well as reasons for why my alternatives are preferable to my opponent's.Alive (adj.) - A state of being in which one has a conspicuous capacity in regards to growth and adaptation to the environmentThis definition is superior to my opponent's as there are many organisms conventionally thought of as "alive," despite not having a heart to beat. Furthermore, many of the world's top biologists were called to discuss what life is.[1] While the strong consensus was and is that it is something easily identifiable, it was also that it is something difficult to define. Notwithstanding, a popular suggestion was made. I account for the suggestion in my definition while my opponent fails to.Moment of conception (n.) - The point in time at which an entity, considered living, begins its lifeWhile this definition may appear apparent in a self-referencing manner, it is far better than my opponent's definition as my opponent only accounts for humans. The fact is, life does not have boundaries dictated solely by humans.My body (n.) - Not dying at any point in timeMy definition is superior for reasons that I will state throughout this debate.Copious Corrections of Callous Claims and CommentsThere are various inaccuracies in my opponent's argument, which I will do my best to correct before making my own counter-argument against my opponent's (corrected) statements."every second that goes by is another second closer to death for everyone whos heart is beating"This is untrue. While it may not seem so, this was proved untrue a long time ago. You see, things in the universe can't simply go as fast as they want. Everything has a speed limit: c.[2][4] The speed of light. Where it gets interesting is this: light in a vacuum travels at c, measured that way no matter what. This does not make sense to most people. Say you're staying still and you measure a baseball that's been thrown at 5m/s at you. You'd measure this as pain, as well as something going the speed of 5m/s. Now, say someone else, like my opponent, is running away from the ball at 5m/s. Measuring the ball's speed, my opponent would observe the ball as still, as they are going at the same speed.So, how can you go towards light with it still being measured as the speed of light relative to you? Simple: Time slows down for you. This is relativity. This means that not every second that goes by for you means a second going by for everyone. This introduces the notion that time is different from what we think. Why is this correction important? Did I just want to feel smug with my education in the realm of astrophysics?No. This is important because a better understanding of time can give a better understanding of life.Connected Complex Continuum ComplicationsZeno of Elea proved thousands of years ago that time cannot logically exist. Because time does not exist, to say that life "ends" is inaccurate. We must look at life at a single snapshot. In each moment of time, perfectly still, life is preserved. Time cannot move on from one point to the next. With a continuous continuum, time would have to move through an infinite number of points before reaching any point. If discreet, time would not be connected. Life cannot move onto death for time does not progress.However, when the Big Bang created time, some force ensured that it did, in fact, move along in an intuitive, connected manner. There is a force, simply named Dark Energy, that accelerates the expansion of the Universe. We know nothing of this force, save its effect, much like gravity.So, time is not meant to move, yet it does. Being that it does, what does this make the Universe?An Understanding of the Universe Unto UsThis means the Universe is, by definition, alive. Because Dark Energy will ensure that the Universe never stops expanding, the Universe will, in effect, live forever.[3][4] This proves that not everyone will die.Sources http://www.sciencemag.org... http://curiosity.discovery.com... http://www.universetoday.com...
