@Theweakeredge

Thank you for what I am assuming is a complement (at least at first). What I would appreciate to know, if you directed that at me or Sum, is what is your criticism specifically? I'm sure my opponent would also appreciate more precise feedback. Thanks!

Interesting arguments on Wesley's side, too bad though, could've made a compelling argument........

@Sum1hugme

Sorry that took so long, I've been busy with work and I had trouble cramming in everything I wanted to talk about. :)

@RationalMadman

lol, don't you know it's turtles all the way down?

Young or not, this debate presumes universe, when really we can be on a simulated flat earth with outer space being illusory.

@WesleyBColeman

Sadly there is only a handful of expert articles that support YEC. That’s why I’m doubtful about it

@WesleyBColeman

I look forward to the debate

@MisterChris

I actually have a lot of convincing evidence for the young Earth theory which I am excited to share. I am working on getting as much of it into the measly 15,000 character limit as possible. I look forward to sharing it with you all, I am almost done prepping already. There has been many breakthroughs in Intelligent Design theory as of recent so I understand why you as with many theists in the scientific community lean towards the old Earth model. There is compelling evidence for either camp. However, I am hopeful I can bring some new data to the table and change some minds.

"misterchris is on the leaderboard. he argued for some YEC stuff before"

Yes, I have. Although, my official position on the issue is: "Leaning old Earth, but honestly who knows."

As for the broader issue of whether a God exists, I tend to lean yes, but truly I am agnostic.

Sorry, I am new to this site, who is Mr Chris? And don't worry, you wouldn't be debunking anything anyway.

@WesleyBColeman

I was gonna invite you but then I realized I didn't want to debunk a humongous list like Mister Chris's stuff

@Sum1hugme

Thank you, Sum1hugme, for your invitation to participate in this debate. I look forward to arguing as con. I wish you good luck and may the best arguments win. :)
