The topic bar is limited, so I had to change the name of the debate.
Hytegia originally requested that the title of the debate be: "The Evidence Supports Creation as described in the Book of Genisis"
Pro or con.
Con will be handled by Hytegia. Pro will be handled by ThePuppyTurtle (currently not registered, but it's his YouTube name. If relevant, the name will be changed accordingly.)
Hytegia has requested some additional rules in this debate, and they are as follows:
1) No ad hominem remarks. This means, simply, no remarks that involve personal attacks against the person.
2) Sources must be cited as to where the information came from. They must be publicly-available sources of validity - preferably websites.
3) No drowning. This is filling your post with useless sources and failing to explain what the source actually is - such as linking to a YouTube video as your only response. You gain nothing from the discussion if you do not elaborate on the facts that are presented yourself.
4) Criticism of sources or claims is not ad hominem. You can be critical of a source and any claim extending from that source if there is counter-claim.
And some restrictions:
The Restrictions on this Thread are as follows:
-The Posters are limited to one opening statement and one conclusion, with x number of posts per each person. This will result in a total of no more than x+2 posts for each person.
-Editing of a post must be noted what exactly they edited within the post, and how many times it was edited (the moderators can see them to call you out on misappropriate editing of one's post) and they must submit to editing via moderator decision if they violate one of the above rules.
I will open the debate now, hoping that ThePuppyTurtle will register soon.
As usual, only the two participants are allowed to comment in this thread, and they are subsequently restricted to post in the "Debate Discussion" thread that I will set up here:

Play fair, play nice, and enjoy!
