Discussion on debate between Esquilax and His_Majesty.
November 10, 2014 at 5:54 pm
Okay, so here's where you guys can commentate on the first debate we've had in a while, between myself and His_Majesty, on the topic of evolution. Think someone raised a good point? Object to anything being said? Let us know!
Here is a link to the debate itself, which as of now contains just the rules and my opening statement. Have at it, folks.

Quote:his serves two purposes, the first being to nip some of the mistaken beliefs about evolution that my opponent has voiced elsewhere in the bud
Ha! Good luck with that one.
I predict we hear the same old shit we always do from creatards.

I don't see this being very fun.

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

I'm looking forward to him saying that he sees the light of reason.
Oh, wait, I was thinking about something else.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I'm too impatient, I just want to see it done and over with.

You're in luck. It just about is.
