Need some pointers on debating against creationists - Page 3

In fairness to the RRS (Brian and Kelly), they were told beforehand that the Bible wouldn't be mentioned once and the very first thing brought up were the 10 Commandments.

The entire debate was set up so that the ID'ers would say something and the others would refute it, however, the ID'ers did not follow through with that. In fact, they didn't follow any of the actual criteria.

I used to hang out at night on Stickam with them all the time. CaptainAwesome would show up every now and then to boot.

I'm going to have to start hanging back out there.

I haven't been able to find the first segmant where they each made their statements. That's were brian flat out says "He just mentioned the bible; we win, I can go home" (paraphrased and re-written for lack of memory) I really want to watch it again haha.

And you're right, the format was not followed, the modertator was terrble as well and was making desicions that allowed for Kirk and what's his nuts to look a little better.

There weren't enough groups supporting creationism for me to debate, so we had an open debate. They refused to accept that the bible isn't evidence.

I wonder how many countries actually teach creationism in schools other than the US or atleast some of it's states.

Also, I found a funny picture on wikipedia:

What's wrong with Fords? I believe evolution is accurate and correct and I drive a Ford Mustang, 2003. The only thing that sucks about that car is that I'm driving it.

That thing made it through Oswego in the winter (near Buffalo New York only farther north.)

For some reason a lot of Americans... who often tend to lean left... hate any car made in America. I don't get it, but.. what the hell.

uBeR · 03-20-2008, 08:05 PM

Your Ford is more Mexican than it is American. Hell, even Toyota is more American than Ford.

I don't actually know why I said it. I just needed something to say.

Got nothin' against Fords, I quite like the ones we have at work.

I dunno, yesterday was an off day.

Good thing I didn't buy it because it's an american car.
I bought it for much more sophisticated reasons that that.

I wanted to look cool.

I had a Rav4 before this so I just wanted a car that accelerates faster than I do when I'm walking. I couldn't deal with the gas consumption of a GT. But I want one if that's worth anything.

Was replying to SkullBash. By "Your Ford," I really meant "Your typical Ford."

Who makes the giant ambulances? It's either Ford or Chevy, but whoever does it, they are awesome. Those things are beasts.
