Getting the book Isaiah 44:24,

"Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;"

Now from John 1:1-3,

" In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made."

We have a witness from John and Isaiah, God made all things.

I'll continue on to show the creation portfolio, water particularly.

Getting Revelation 14,

"6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."

Psalms 95,

"3 For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.

5 The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land."

Moving on to the darkness as this is straightforward.

Going back to Isaiah chapter 45 now.

"5 I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.

7 I form the light, and create darkness"

That's really as cut and dry as that but a little bit more I love this.

Genesis 1

"4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day."

I'll stop here. This doesn't warrant much explanation. These passages really establish everything. Although I have a hunch about a question the opposing side will raise.

I'll wait until the second round.

Then I voluntarily go on in attempt to edify. I try not to give up on the lost.

For those asking about "losses" and "wins", below is what your so called "losses" and "wins" mean to me.

See , who you say wins a debate, loses is totally subjective. It doesn't dictate the truth I actually present. Just because I state the fact of the sky being blue while being in a pool of liars that say it isn't, doesn't mean it isn't.
See that would be the ad populum fallacy.

Mall, this is in no way meant to be flippant: how come you have lost so many debates? How come you kept on driving through the losses to debate more?

So we have some folks that agree with my topic statement. Yet, someone took the challenge from the debate session. So apparently we have those that think this statement is false or can argue as if it were.

12 more days, nobody accepts, it'll prove in support of my position and all the other debates of the same topic as well. The votes ought to be consistent with that.
