God is the only answer to the beginning of life

Alright then, I will address my opponent's case, and then move on to my own --BIG BANG-- God snapped his finger. BANG. Contention one affirmed. Here is the thing: Where did this "singularity" that my opponent talks about come from? How did it get there? There is no answer to this question. Opponent, if you have an answer, please tell me. --WHY THE CHRISTIAN GOD?-- My opponent brings up the God of Islam. (I believe he mistakenly named Allah as a different god. "Allah" is equivalent to the Christian God, only under a different name. Muslims believe different things about him, but Arab-speaking Christians call God: "Allah", or, Almighty.) That being put out of the way, he asks why some "X" god could not have created the universe. Here is why: -Jesus is the only God who has revealed himself to our race. All other "gods" were made up by man. God showed himself to us through Jesus Christ. -It is undisputed that Jesus really lived, and that he really died on the cross. This is not only written in the Bible, but throughout other documents of history. -Jesus is the One, True God. He is the only way we could exist, much less the universe. Without God, there would be nothing. Because of these reasons, I can only affirm the resolution. Thank you.
God is the only answer to the beginning of life

An interesting thing to note is that my opponent's opening round and resolution contradict. The beginning of life (abiogenesis) does not mean the universe "coming" into existence. However, since the burden to prove abiogenesis can only happen under the Christian god is quite the task for my opponent, I will attack the easier proposition: that the Christian God is the only accountable explanation for the existence of the universe. ===== Big Bang Theory ===== About 15 billion years ago, a singularity containing all the matter and energy of space expanded, thus leading to the formation of our current Universe[1]. This definitely explains how our universe exists. ===== Why the Christian God? ===== My opponent has a certain burden to prove: how come the Christian God can be the only answer for the universes' existence? Why can't the God of Islam be the answer? Why can't a yet unknown God called X be the answer? My opponent has arbitrarily stated that only Jesus Christ can be the universe' cause and he needs to justify his decision. Remember the attributes of omnipotence, omnipresence, omniscience, and omnibenevolence. ===== Conclusion ===== My opponent has a certain burden to prove, so go on ahead.
God is the only answer to the beginning of life

>>>My opponent actually concedes the debate...He has no answer, nobody does. He does offer several theories. As I will show you, they are not viable options.<<< How do I concede the debate? You yourself admit that I offer several theories and options. Stop quoting me out of context, because anyone who read my argument knows that I HAVE NOT CONCEDED THE DEBATE. ===== Big Bang ===== 1. Multiverse If you bothered to read anything on the Multiverse before attempting to refute, you would realize that since universe's would spring from others one, it's possible for cause-and-effect to be bypassed. How, you ask? It's because there are an infinite amount of other universe's, and in these other universe's they can have TOTALLY different physical laws than our universe, including cause-and-effect. 2. Virtual particles We can observe the effects of virtual particles, we view them as quanta of one of the 4 basic force interactions[1]. Again, you should read up on the topic before attempting to refute it. Also, have the voters note that my opponent has completely ignored the Hartle-Hawking state argument. ===== Why only the Christian God ===== Again, my opponent is trying to justify his circular reasoning - out of context. It is true he wouldn't be begging the question (circular reasoning) in any other case, BUT he was supposed to show why only the CHRISTIAN God can create the universe, and not OTHER gods. He has completely failed to do so, and his meager attempts to distort his lack of a response is quite amusing. ===== Conclusion ===== There's not much to refute because my opponent has simply no valid counterargument. His responses to my Big Bang-arguments are trivial; a simple research into each of the topics would have answered his refutations. Secondly, he has yet to even respond to the bigger question: why can only the CHRISTIAN god create the universe, and not others? For these reasons, vote CON. ---References--- 1. http://en.wikipedia.org...
God is the only answer to the beginning of life

Alright, well I would like to address the essentials of the debate, the nitty-gritty so to speak. What does all this really mean? My opponent and I have agreed to debate about whether or not God is the only option for the universe to have come into existence. I will address this in detail shortly. My opponent actually concedes the debate. "Obviously science doesn't have an answer for this, though we are getting frightfully close to the answer. We can trace back to only a few seconds after the Big Bang, which is obviously very close." In this statement, he cannot answer the imposing question, how did the "initial" singularity come to be? He has no answer, nobody does. He does offer several theories. As I will show you, they are not viable options. 1- Multiverse He says here that our universe could have sprang from another. One must ask again: Where did that universe come from? How did it get there? Again, there is no answer. The only option, is God. 2- Virtual particles He says here that there are particles that pop into and out of existence. He also says that you cannot observe them, as it would contradict their meaning. How on Earth, no pun intended, would we know they existed, when we cannot observe them? There is, apparently, no evidence for them. So we just made up these particles that can pop into and out of existence? That is ridiculous. OK, so now you ask: "Well there is no evidence for God either." While some people never physically touch, hear, or see God, he does exist. We are here, aren't we? We could not be, unless he put us here. The fact that we exist is enough. My opponent accuses me of circular reasoning. I believe my opponent mis-understands what this fallacy actually means. I am using simple, well-layed-out logic. We exist. There is no way we could have come to be without God. Therefore, God must exist, since we exist. This is simple deductive reasoning. This is supported by the fact that, despite my opponent's efforts, none of his theories are actually plausible. I cite no sources because I need no internet site to tell me what should seem obvious by now. Thus upholding my case, I conclude my portion of this debate. I thank my opponent for a good bout, and would like to urge an affirmative ballot. Thank you.
World Wrestling Entertainment Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar is an NCAA wrestling champion. Before Randy Orton came around, he was also the youngest world champion. Brock Lesnar is also very strong. If you notice when he picks up heavyweights, he really picks then up. For others, the heavyweights jump to help look like the opponent can pick them up. Brock Lesnar is also the one in twenty-one and one. There is a reason they gave him threw honor of doing so. His talent and shock value you very well.
World Wrestling Entertainment Brock Lesnar

Some people say Brock Lesnar isn't on steroids and that he's very talented. I say that he isn't talented without his steroids and he couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag if he wasn't on steroids. Brock Lesnar is a disgrace to wrestling and any sport he tries. Brock Lesnar is the queen of the ring and not a great wrestler. I don't think Brock Lesnar belongs in the WWE he only went back to the WWE because he got beat up in UFC.
the covering of jade goodys final moments were shocking , and reflect sadly on todays society.

Firstly, this is a first hand experience for me. My mother died from cancer when I was 11. Firstly, I will prove why Jade Goody's coverage is justified: ==CON ARGUMENT #1: IT RAISES CANCER AWARENESS== Jade Goody is practically the first celebrity to have contracted cancer. When she was diagnosed, the media followed her story. People saw a once healthy woman disintegrate into a shadow of her former self. This raised awareness among many women, leading to more women testing for cervical cancer, or indeed ,cancer in general. Showing women the horrible effects of cancer allowed women to realise its potential, and therefore preventing more people of dying by cancer ==CON ARGUMENT #2: IT GIVES MONEY TO A GOOD CAUSE== The money Jade Goody receives from this coverage goes straight to her sons. It gives them a future. Whilst it may not fill the void she leaves, it gives them a future and a memory of their mother. [Source: . http://www.glamour.com...] Also, a side benefit is further money invested into cancer treatment following news of the story. ==PRO:== >>there are so many people dieing everyday of cancer , leaving behin familes and lved ones everyday , thats just a sad fact of life , but an even sadder fact of life is why somebody who became famous for nothing except acting like an idiot , is treated like a god for her final moments. Sure she will lave two poor children behind , but so will so many other mums today as well. These other familys jsut have to bite hard and get on with it , the media of course covered this event because , she was "famous" but the newspaper stories of her breakign down in tears and getting into arguments and screaming , were quite disturbing and should'nt be shown on t. v and newspappers . .. << ==REBUTTAL:== People die everyday of cancer, yes it is a fact. People also die in wars, however, is is still broadcast nonetheless. Under my opponents logic, it shouldn't, because some random person just so happened to fall in the way of the bullet, and did nothing but get hit by the bullet. Jade Goody chose to have herself shown in the media to raise awareness for cancer, as well as raise money for her sons, which I have addressed. Jade Goody is a personality. Her lack of intelligence and Big Brother controversy made her famous, yet, with a lack of skills such as acting, average at the same time. This made her very unique in a way, therefore making it justifiable she be the face for cancer awareness. I would like to ask my opponent this: Is it better for people to not know of cancer's devastating effect on a person, or is it better for them to be fully aware of what can happen? I am near my 3,000 character limit, and await my opponents response.
the covering of jade goodys final moments were shocking , and reflect sadly on todays society.

The covering of Jade Goodys last momnets , were nothing short of an outrage , sure she is doing it for her children and is dieing of cancer , but why should a women who has no real , talent and never contributed greatly to society , have the right to recvice millions of pounds and pretty much round the clock coverage and front page news of her last moments ? there are so many people dieing everyday of cancer , leaving behin familes and lved ones everyday , thats just a sad fact of life , but an even sadder fact of life is why somebody who became famous for nothing except acting like an idiot , is treated like a god for her final moments. Sure she will lave two poor children behind , but so will so many other mums today as well. These other familys jsut have to bite hard and get on with it , the media of course covered this event because , she was "famous" but the newspaper stories of her breakign down in tears and getting into arguments and screaming , were quite disturbing and should'nt be shown on t.v and newspappers ... So i ask my opponent , to jusisty why one women , should receive all this coverage and money for nothing , and how the media are doing good with this one.

=====REBUTTAL======= ==PRO:== >>Me and my opponent are very similar , I have lost memebers of my family to cancer , and to be honest and harsh sounding , nobody gives a crap about them , to me they are loved ones and mean the world , to somebody else they are a death statistic and a fact of life , fair enough . I wouldn't expect anybody to care , but when i see jade goody come along , after her appaling behaviour in big brother etc . .. and see her make so much money from the press , it does not anger me , as any person would do what she did if they had the chance to revice millions , however it annoys me somewhat , when my relatives were hardworking , honest and loving people who always done a good deed when they could , passed with a tear and no more , I think the media are making a circus of this , they are almost making it a drama , something exciting that will sell papers , not raise awarness to much , at no point does it directly raise awarness , it only highlights cancer and its effects not what should be done. << ==REBUTTAL:== Cancer does not choose who it wants to kill. Nor do people choose to contract cancer. When someone has cancer, they end the same as everyone with cancer, whittled down to a shadow of themselves. Class does not affect this, or does skill. If my mother had been the face of cancer awareness, that would be no different than Jade Goody being the face on cancer awareness. Jade Goody was ,like I said before, a personality. She herself did not choose to receive does millions of pounds. The media followed her. They made a story of her. However, restricting the media from doing such a thing reflects poorly on journalist freedom and society as a whole. The story of Jade Goody herself raises cancer awareness let people watch her turn from a personality, to a person with cancer. The effects were devastating, and no doubt, it raised awareness. ==PRO:== >>The goverment could just do something simplier , make a big campaign and so on , school children edcucated , not this. I think its disgraceful , the way papperazi ask her to pose for a picture while she is dying for a couple of quid . but thats just my view. << ==REBUTTAL:== The government did not organise the media to do this, as suggested by the above comment. Jade Goody posing for a picture, again raises cancer awareness. She is doing it for more than a couple of pounds. She is doing it for the betterment of society. ==CONCLUSION:== Jade Goody's media following raises awareness of cancer ---> More women get screened for cancer ---> Cancer is found earlier and caught ---> Society is bettered.

sorry. I would like to actually say my opponent is right in when he says she is the new face of cancer awarness , however , I think that she is only this face because she has always been a face in the paper , and she feels she has no choice . I would have more respectful for her if she raised it for cancer reasearch etc , as her boys will no doubt have no problem getting money from the media in the near future . Me and my opponent are very similar , I have lost memebers of my family to cancer , and to be honest and harsh sounding , nobody gives a crap about them , to me they are loved ones and mean the world , to somebody else they are a death statistic and a fact of life , fair enough . I wouldn't expect anybody to care , but when i see jade goody come along , after her appaling behaviour in big brother etc . .. and see her make so much money from the press , it does not anger me , as any person would do what she did if they had the chance to revice millions , however it annoys me somewhat , when my relatives were hardworking , honest and loving people who always done a good deed when they could , passed with a tear and no more , I think the media are making a circus of this , they are almost making it a drama , something exciting that will sell papers , not raise awarness to much , at no point does it directly raise awarness , it only highlights cancer and its effects not what should be done. The goverment could just do something simplier , make a big campaign and so on , school children edcucated , not this. I think its disgraceful , the way papperazi ask her to pose for a picture while she is dying for a couple of quid . but thats just my view.

Eminem? Me? You? Your funny You blind Can you see? Set this tape on rewind And I'll repeat to make you believe Eminem? I said I not it And you claim that I don't flow? This rap battle? You would of had it But you got cocky mo and mo Now for all of those watching Viewer discretion is advised You're about to witness a beating With audio of this man's cries My choice of words None of it's absurd The reason you don't under-stend Or even compre-hend Is because you dropped outta high school thinking you would make more-friends But guess what? You failed You stay behind your screen challenging kids, making up tales And this girl you talking about? Sorry to inform you but I'm lacking the whereabouts Your a victim of a disease called schizophrenia loud mouth And in truth and reality this was your sister you were talking about You claim that you have an inner fire But thats just your lustful desire Your poor stricken, stuck at home, no one wants to hire Also known in the community as the big fat lier The only animal that you own Is your little uncircumcised two inch cone That you use when chatting with strangers over the phone Yeah I know that your super sized You eat McDonald's day and night You claim that you make men hide and cry But thats only because when they see your face they just wanna die. This blanket of words that you wrapped around yourself I'm sorry to inform you but its bad for your health Lying about your life isn't going to hurt me It's only going to make you, yourself believe So just stand up, excuse yourself, and leave Btw we all know your to fat too walk 8 miles, please...
Rap Battle

An Eminem man he claims to be Is there something here that I can not see? His rhymes don't flow His word choice makes him seem rather slow And the verses he types don't keep pace with the flow But hey, what do I know? I'm just a kid who watched 8 mile all the time One who's being accused of plagiarizing tech 9 One who's words are truly mine Just because some of the words might be hard to define And so what? I'm just gonna back down and quit? Absolutely not cuz I promise my lines are legit You can sit behind the computer screen and have a fit But face it, I threw you the hook and you bit Talking to a kid who knows how to keep the fire lit And you know where that fire is? Yeah you guessed it But now it starts to burn deep inside you I've got more animal inside me than a zoo You know this is true, it can't be a lie My rhymes are the only ones that you can't defy I'm already supersized A killer in disguise A man who knows no bounds, and doesn't speak lies A man with great character Got a girl and everyone likes to stare at her And glare at her But there all jealous because they can't have her Comin close to the time for these folks to decide Who's torn the other apart more like a riptide Who sounds ghetto-er than a man wearin a chain of bonafide Who makes the other wanna hide Who makes the other man wanna break down and cry inside But I'll tell you what, we had a good run And I have evolved from all the stuff spit, said and done But I'm sure you understand there can be only one I'm sorry to break it to you, sorry it couldn't last Sorry this rap battle went by too fast But I'm sure that we'll see each other in a while But for now, I'll just walk my white _ _ _ back across 8 mile ;)

It takes true men like you to see through my play An "8 Mile" reference seen 1 mile away He pulled it off with Rabbit And I'll pull it off with Fun Eminem? I know I not it Sit down and laugh, hun The words that you spit I brush them off with my wit Cause guess what? I've already mentioned it Youz a record thats been on delay Like a horse running laps in the relay Being chased by the cops on the freeway Have you been taught how to live the real way? Cause plagiarizeing is rather wrong Been wrong for so rather long Though its especially been seen in modern rap songs People copy beats left and right thinking they got the heat Cheating their way with 4/4 time on cheat sheets You just another media follower A newbred bandwagon caller Erase that, actually a holla-wer You indulge yourself in wack society I seen it and I ignore your pleas Cause once you go wack You never go back And I'm sorry to break it too you But your rhyme is lack... Ing a sense of soul Rather than using a template How about you use the code, whole And I can see that I'm about to receive hate On the very words I just spat onto my plate So all the rebuttals you thought of? Sorry hun, it's too late I told you boy I play like mile 8.

Alright, All this talk has made me question your credibility At one point I was gonna spare you the humility But clearly your brain has no stability Me, a poor man, are you serious? That verse right there makes me think you're delirious Only in high school, a freshman at that But anyone can see the fake lines you try to pull just to distract In fact, You better hope when these words hit you they leave your face intact Selling buns on the street? I hope you toast them Because if you don't, I will roast them And then I will boast them Then I will host them Then I'll take them to DDO and post them There just that good You don't seem to have understood That I'm growing up a middle class man, not one from the hood But maybe if your Pap's wasn't selling those buns he could He should He would Take his money elsewhere Buy you an xbox, a stripper, maybe some rap lessons, I don't care Maybe he could take his son to the county fair Win him a game where the prize is a teddy bear Maybe he could take his son to a park to breathe the fresh air I told you I would kill you, Your not special enough to spare Or maybe one day, you'll follow the path your father left for you You can sell buns and be a mentally challenged man too Because really, who names their child "Mr. Fun"? And tries to make a living off of selling a bun And doesn't make a dime cuz he can't sell one Truly, this battle I have already won Remember how I said I would burn you, turn you and toss you out to roast in the sun? Well homie I just did, and now this verse is done
