A debate about who makes the least number completely unfounded assumptions Smile Should be magical (thinking).

I look forward to this, thanks to Paladin and A Theist for taking part.

BORING!!

It'd be like a debate between Snap, Krackle & Pop or Keebler Elves; Which bake the better goodies?

Utterly pointless.

Why, they're all arguments from incredulity?

I'm gonna stick my head above the pulpit and say deism is more likely as it makes fewer claims.

Still I dont think its correct, just more likely to be than theism and less easily refuted.

A-Theists' personal schedule is tied up right now (something I can relate to) so he's not available until Tues or Wed. I'm going to hold off myself from posting my opening until that time.

My apologies to everyone. I've had a few unexpected issues to arise that has prevented me from begining our debate as scheduled. I'm hoping to be ready this weekend. I sent a PM to DP earlier to let him know. My thanks to DP for his understanding. Nevertheless, I still look forward to our debate.

My opening remarks are posted. Take your time, A Theist, I understand well how domestic concerns take priority.
