Description

My opponent can argue for Baked Beanz. (though this is not the debate topic, so would likely lose the debate if did so)
All i ask is for an honest debate.
Errors that remain unacknowledged after being pointed out become construed as lies.

Also i will probably use wikipedia as a foundation to launch a debate.
I may use other sources later on, if required.

sorry to see you have unfortunately been banned.
I shall hold back on responding to give you more time.
I have the debate set on two weeks for arguments anyway.

I agree, it is a moot point. As i typed that before he posted first round. I was responding to you because you called me a smart ss. So im glad you figured out what i ment.

Angel would count as alien here. I am sure pro is aware of that. The point is not to speculate as to where the beings came from whether it is heaven, other intelligent planets, other dimensions or from time travel with life forms so advanced that they appeared like they came from another planet. "Ancient aliens" is a history channel tv show being hinted at referencing in the title. All of this is kinda a moot point anyway, because pro already stated they will accept their opponent's interpretation even if the interpretation is as ridiculous as baked beans

The context makes it obvious IF you know what the definition is. Most of the time using a word with multiple definitions has to be clarified. In one context of alien, say, they travel in outer space, that makes it clear that its most likely not human. But doesnt answer if its an angel or assumed lifeform

It doesn't depend on the definition. the definition depends on the contexrt which is obvious

Depending on the definition of aliens. People from other countries to angels fit that definition

Why do we have smart asses coming on debates pretending they don't know the instigator is talking about extra terrestrial beings from outer space

So the meaning you are using for aliens is what?

My style is to give my opponents as much scope as possible.
Though this is being abused a little, and sometimes my opponents are using the scope i give them, to attempt to try to argue about something completely irrelevant.
For this reason, i would advise sticking to "ancient aliens" as described in the famous history channel documentary "ancient aliens".
As it is mostly the claims from the show i will be debunking.
Though if you wish to provide your own evidence outwith the show, i will not prevent you from doing so, and i will also attempt to engage with you upon other related issues regards to ancient aliens.
But the general definition of ancient aliens would be as defined by the documentary.
Claims that the pyramids were built by Aliens et cetera.
Or claims that much of the stories in the OT, could be actually depicting Aliens.

What i will not be discussing is "modern day alien accounts".
Modern day alien accounts are not related to claims made by the ancient aliens documentary team.

But, i am flexible within reason.

What definition are you using for aliens?
