There is no evidence for a god.

My opponent defined two words in round one, evidence and God, but I will define one more the word no. No- a negative used to express dissent, denial, or refusal, as in response to a question or request;to reject, refuse approval, or express disapproval of (1). It seems silly for me to define the word no, it's so simple but it is very important in this debate. If my opponent and I were in the court of law and my opponent had to prove that there is no evidence of God, while I would have to give some evidence the first thing I would summit to the court was the Holy Bible. The Bible is the word of God with many prophets giving account of seeing God like in Genesis 32:30- And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel : for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved (2) or Exodus 33:11- And the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend (3). I'm sure that using the Bible as evidence of Gods existence would not be good enough for some. For the final evidence I would summit in this round I would call Jacob and Moses as witnesses. Witnesses are used in trials as evidence and are allowed in court (4). Many people would question if Jacob and Moses really existed, but the Bible is not only used as a religious book it is also used as a book of History so the possibly of Jacob and Moses really existing is a very real (5). Once they retell their account in Genesis and in Exodus it would be evidence in the court of law. I would like to pass the debate on to my opponent so in conclusion for this round I would have summit the Bible into evidence and have called Jacob and Moses as witnesses.

There is no evidence for a god.

I would like to use my round 1 to assert my position. I do not know of any evidence for a god of any religion. With this debate I would like to let everyone know that the burden of providing proof is on the believer of a super natural order. Thanks in advance for accepting the debate who ever you are. God-A being conceived as the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe, the principal object of faith and worship in monotheistic religions. Evidence-That which tends to prove or disprove something; ground for belief; proof.
There is no evidence for a god.

My opponent and I agree that the bible has historical facts in it, but my opponent fails to see that those same people writing the facts he believes are true are the same people who claim to have spoken and seen god. If they tell the truth about history why would they lie about god. They wouldn't. I did use the bible as evidence because it is. I believe the bible to be the word of god so wouldn't be used as evidence. I also used witnesses who my opponent said never existed, but the irony is that they were apart of history, historians say they did exist. If god created everything that makes everything evidence. My opponent never said I had to proof the existence of god only present evidence of that he might exist. Which I have done with the bible, witnesses, and the world.
There is no evidence for a god.

No just, no The bible has not been proven to be a historical accuracy we agreed that it has a few accurate statements about ancient cities, building, and battles that are able to be verified. You have not presented any other evidence except for the bible which I have already proven could not be evidence for a Christian god. You do realize that if proof was just people believing in a statement everything would be true that you can believe in. When you were a little kid you probably believed in Santa Claus that does not make him true. If you could provide proof other than that people in a church that accept the bible as word of god believe in the bible you would have something going for you but you have stated nothing except that the bible is believed in. "The whole crazy reporter thing my opponent mentioned technology he or she could be evidence if there testimony stands." I don't understand what your trying to say but again you want to use a court as an analogy a court would not accept a book written 2,000 years ago as evidence for if the people existed or for proof of anything. They would use it to investigate not just blatantly accept it as evidence that is why the prosecution and defense cross examine "evidence presented" so that someone can't claim they have evidence but everyone that saw it happen is dead and you can't verify that the dead people actually exist. My opponent I believe accepts the bible as the word of god yet he cannot prove it is the word of god except by stating that in the bible it is said that it is the word of god. This is an argument from fallacy. He has also not refuted any of my claims that would make the bible a regular book not the word of god and my other claim that a Christian god does not exist. Since my opponent has the last word I will hope that he will not create a new argument but attempt to refute my claims without using the bible and the fact that someone believes in the bible as proof. If you are asking yourself did I just say that all people accepting the bible as the word of god on faith are wrong yes, yes I did. Thank you for this debate and I send this back to Con.
There is no evidence for a god.

I will get to the evidence my opponent is asking for. My opponent says that there is no proof that Jacob or Moses exist, but the thing is that since the bible has proven to have historical accuracy it is very reasonable to believe that Moses and Jacob did indeed live. But my opponent doesn`t find that good enough so I will call a different witness for evidence Joseph Smith. Joseph Smith claimed to have seen two people in the woods when he was praying. One of these people was Jesus while the other was God. He was alive and his existence can`t be questioned. He has over 15 million people who believe him these people are members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints. So Joseph is a witness that can't be questioned on whether he lived or not making him evidence. The whole crazy reporter thing my opponent mentioned technology he or she could be evidence if there testimony stands.
There is no evidence for a god.

I accept that you can refer to the bible as a historical reference book as defined like ancient cities, buildings, and battles that have been verified by scientist and historians. Onto Noah's ark How did Noah round up the dinosaurs? How come they all died? Why do you find all the penguins (every single one) down in Antarctica and nowhere else? How did they get there so fast and not a one settled somewhere else? Why do you find kangaroos only in Australia and nowhere else? How did they get across the water barrier? Did Noah have sex with his daughters in law? Did Noah's wife bear any of her grandchildren? It's certain that Noah's children practiced incest. They had to. Did God really have to kill everybody except Noah and his wife and children? http://www.patheos.com... onto how your still only using the bible as evidence I will challenge this again. There are only 3 possibilities 1.One of the religion's is right 2. All of them are right 3. None of them are right. For you to use the bible as the only evidence of a god would mean that all other religion that do not support your Christian god can simply refer to there religions "word of god" Lastly yes I know the big bang is a theory that is why it is called The Big Bang Theory but to say that your evidence against it is just that there are some scientists don't accept it means nothing unless they can produce another theory. Now I would like to discuss how you simplify the Big Bang by just calling it a theory it is a Scientific theory based off of the facts that we know at this time and was peer reviewed, challenged, edited, and then published. For you to be able to use Jacob and Moses as evidence since they are not alive today you must first prove that they ever existed and to use the bible to prove this would not be acceptable in the court of law because you would not be able to verify if it is them or someone else wanting to make a good story. You threw out the reporter argument but by your own definition the reporter believed in himself therefore it is evidence see the problem with your definition yet? I send this back to Con again asking for some other form of verifiable evidence to prove the existence of a god or god's.
There is no evidence for a god.

The Bible if you go into the real strict definition of a history book might not fit, but if I change the wording to a book of history a historical reference if you will then I think my opponent and I have common ground. The Bible has historical facts like ancient cities, buildings, and battles that have been verified by scientist and historians this does not mean the scientist and historians have to believe in god, but this does give some foundation to the bible showing that it does have reliable things in it. Actually in an ironic twist the whole Big Flood thing is starting to be investigated by scientists, they actually have found wood that is from a boat that is located 12,000 ft. in the Turkish mountains. Whether it be Noah's ark or a very weird twist is remained to be seen, but you never know. For a witness to be evidence someone has to believe in them. That is the difference between Moses and Jacob, and some crazy reporter. 51% of the world believe in one god and 17% are undecided which means that Moses and Jacob have creditability with 3.5 billion people in the world. This makes them evidence that a god exists. Last thing I will say is that the Big Bang is a theory not a law which means it is not completely accepted by the scientist community. That means it is still open for debate and for someone to prove it wrong. God creating the world is a theory this is backed by people who believe in the bible. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk... http://www.christiantoday.com...
There is no evidence for a god.

I wouldn't say that Zeus is the ruler of the world or even that Greek gods even exist, but if someone claimed to see them that would be evidence even if the evidence is proven to be false, but still evidence. I am sure that if I wasn't religious religion would sound very farfetched, but the old phrase comes into play "Reality is crazier than fiction." Just because something sounds farfetched does not mean that it isn't true. I would ask my opponent how they think the world and universe was created. I believe that the earth was organized by Jesus Christ under the direction of God, someone could say that is farfetched, and I would say that the idea of the universe being created from a single atom than an explosion created the universe in the big bang sounds farfetched. Any account of the world and Universe being created sounds very farfetched. The Bible is used as an History document because the Bible has writings of ancient battles or cities that have been proven by bone recovery like what my sources said in round one. I would say that the Earth being created is evidence of god like what Genesis says of how it happened. There is no other real solid account of Earth being created so the evidence of Genesis could be used in an argument of how the world began.
There is no evidence for a god.

I would like to point out that con has said that the Bible is evidence for God. Now lets realize that there are many religions that have now nearly gone extinct and gods that are not believed in anymore yet they have "Eye-witnesses" and you would not say that Zeus is the controller of the universe with the other gods like Poseidon god of the sea that controls the oceans on our earth yet if you went back to the Greeks you would have believed in there gods to because they would have preached there gods to you. Onto Moses and Jacob they said that they could talk to god you might have faith that they talked to god face to face but there is a religion right now that says they have a church leader that talks to god The Catholic Church yet I guarantee that if you are not of The Catholic Church you would think he was crazy. Last but not least the Bible cannot be a history book because you would have to not accept Evolution but you would have to accept that your religion says dinosaurs co existed with humans and that The Great Flood killed all life on earth except for Noah's family and 2 of every animal were on his ark. I send this back to Con to make a better case for evidence of God.

http://www.youtube.com...I thank my opponent for this debate. It has certainly been fun and interesting hearing his picks from RHCP, and I wish him luck in the voting round.I will leave you with a great music video that launched Incubus into the spotlight."Pardon Me" takes a simple concept, spontaneous combustion, and turns it into a song that touches to the core. Many can identify with the message of bottling something up until they reach the bursting point.The instrumentals mix together smooth nostalgia and hard-hitting edge to create an emotive backbone for the lyrics.Lyrics:A decade ago, I never thought I would be, at twenty-three, on the verge of spontaneous combustion. -Woe-is-me.- But I guess that it comes with the territory, An ominous landscape of never-ending calamity. I need you to hear, I need you to see that I have had all I can take and exploding seems like an imminent possibility to me. So pardon me while I burst into flames. I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games. So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame. Pardon me, pardon me... I'll never be the same! Not two days ago, I was having a look in a book and I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knee. I said, "I can relate," cause lately I've been thinking of combustication as a welcome vacation from the burdens of the planet Earth. like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3D but thinking so much differently. Pardon me while I burst into flames. I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games. So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame. Pardon me, pardon me... I'll never be the same! Never be the same, yeah... Pardon me, while I burst into flames... Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me. So pardon me while I burst into flames. I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games. So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame. Pardon me, pardon me... I'll never be the same!

My final video is one of the best I've seen from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It is built like a video game with the four members of the band being the video game characters. The lyrics are meaningful when the word "Californication" is replaced by "sex" which is after all what it means. The songs talks about how difficult it is for young artists to "make it" in hollywood. . http://www.youtube.com...Californication: Lyrics Sample Psychic spies from ChinaTry to steal your mind elationLittle girls from SwedenDream of silver screen quotationsAnd if you want these kind of dreamsIt's CalifornicationIt's the edge of the worldAnd all of western civilizationThe sun may rise in the eastAt least it settles in a final locationIt? s understood that HollywoodSells CalifornicationMarry me girl be the fairy to my worldBe my very won constellationA teenage bride with a baby insideGetting high on informationAnd buy me a star on the boulevardIt? s CalifornicationSpace may be the final frontierBut it's made in a Hollywood basementAnd Cobain can you hear the spheresSinging songs off station to stationAnd Alderon? s not far awayIt? s CalifornicationDestruction leads to a very rough roadBut it also breeds creationAnd earthquakes are to a girl? s guitarThey are just another good vibrationAnd tidal waves couldn? t save the worldFrom Californication

http://www.youtube.com...This next song, Drive, taps on the universal struggle of finding individual expression. The religious metaphor in the lyrics, choosing "water over wine", encourages one to find their own identification rather than giving into societal pressure.Lyrics:Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear And I can't help but ask myself how much I let the fear Take the wheel and steer It's driven me before And it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal But lately I'm beginning to find that I Should be the one behind the wheel Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there With open arms and open eyes yeah Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there I'll be there So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive? It's driven me before And it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around But lately I'm beginning to find that When I drive myself my light is found Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there With open arms and open eyes yeah Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there I'll be there Would you choose water over wine Hold the wheel and drive Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there With open arms and open eyes yeah Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there I'll be there

I congratulate my opponent on posting a song that has not been a mainstream song. I finally got a link that works.http://www.youtube.com...Tell me babyThis song like most others by the Red Hot Chili Peppers focusses on the band's own experiences in life and draws from them. The song as well as the video demonstrates the auditioning process in the entertainment industry and shows how hard it can be for upcoming artists. The actors in the video were actually called in to audition for the video with no idea that they were going to be in it. Once they came in, the members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers surprised them by jumping in out of nowhere and joined in the fun. The spontaneous and light hearted nature of the video provides a fun depiction of an otherwise draining process of auditioning.Lyrics SampleThey come from every state to findSome dreams were meant to be declinedTell the man what did you have in mindWhat have you come to doNo turning water into wineNo learning while you're in the lineI'll take you to the broken signYou see these lights are blueCome and get itLost it at the city limitSay goodbye'Cause they will find a way to trim itEverybodyLookin' for a silly gimmickGotta get awayCan't take it for another minuteThis town was made of many thingsJust look at what the current bringsSo high it's only promisingThis place was made on youTell me baby what's your storyWhere you come fromAnd where you wanna go this timeTell me lover are you lonelyThe thing we need isNever all that hard to findTell me baby what's your storyWhere do you come fromAnd where you wanna go this timeYou're so lovely are you lonelyGiving up on the innocence you left behindSome claim to have the fortitudeToo shrewd to blow the interludeSustaining pain to set a moodStep out to be renewedI'll move you like a baritoneJungle Brothers on the microphoneGetting over with an undertoneIt's time to turn to stone

http://www.youtube.com...Most of Incubus' gems are tucked away, from the masses that listen to just their radio singles, in the depths of their albums. This is a live recording of "Aqueous Transmission", my personal favorite, from the album Morning View. The array of instruments not only show versatilty, but create a meditteranian feel that exudes tranquility and groove. Lyrics:I'm floating down a river Oars freed from their holds long ago Lying face up on the floor of my vessel I marvel at the stars And feel my heart overflow Further down the river Further down the river Further down the river Further down the river Two weeks without my lover I'm in this boat alone Floating down a river named emotion Will I make it back to shore Or drift into the unknown? Further down the river Further down the river Further down the river Further down the river I'm building an antenna Transmissions will be sent when I am through Maybe we could meet again further down the river And share what we both discovered Then revel in the view Further down the river Further down the river Further down the river Further down the river I'm floating down a river I'm floating down a river I'm floating down a river I'm floating down a river

Snow (Hey Oh)This song plays on the word "snow" where snow could mean actual snow as well as a drug. The lyrics at first don't seem to make sense but replacing snow with drugs shows that the lyrics make perfect sense and describe the writer's addiction to snow. The music video is a tribute to the fans of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and many of the pictures show their fans playing a central part of the video. http://www.youtube.com...Sorry about the embedding. None of the official videos work when you post them here.

http://www.youtube.com...I will start off with a song that sums up the attributes of Incubus. The song title, Anna Molly, is a play on the word anomaly; which means a deviation from the norm. This is exactly what Incubus is. Clever lyrics, melodic tunes, and a unique style represents this song which is the epitomy of Incubus. The guitar line instantly hooks you in and carries the prechorus & chorus. Incubus incoporates unconventional instruments into their music. A Marxophone, seen at 0:16, brings added texture to the feel of the song. Here are the lyrics:A cloud hangs over this city by the sea, I watch the ships pass and wonder if she might be, Out there and sober as a well for loneliness, Please do persist girl its time we met and made, a mess I picture your face in the back of my eyes, A fire in the attic a proof of the prize, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly... Doo doo doo doo do doo doo doo doo doo A cloud hangs over, And mutes my happiness, A thousand ships couldn't sail me back from distress, Wish you were here, I'm a wounded satellite, I need you now put me back together make me right I picture your face in the back of my eyes a fire in the attic a proof of the prize, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly I'm calling your name up into the air Not one of the others could ever compare! Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly! Wait there is a light, There is a fire illuminated attic, Fate or something better I could care less, Just stay with me a while, Wait there is a light, there is a fire defragmenting the attic, Fate or something better I could care less, Just stay with me a while
