There are no rules, except you may not use the word "coincidence"
Numbers and GeometryThere are pieces of evidence that I believe show design in the solar system. Here are a few related to numbers and geometry.1. Multiples of 72Moon diameter: 2160 milesEarth diameter: 7920 milesSun diameter: 864,000 milesThe numbers 216, 792, and 864 are all multiples of 72
2. EclipsesThe reason we get near perfect eclipses of the sun is because:The sun is 400 times bigger than the moonThe sun is 400 times further away from the Earth than the moon
3. GeometryThe Earth and moon fit almost perfectly into a "squared circle" due to the fact that the moon to Earth ratio is 3:11.
There are many more, and I may provide more if asked. If it were only one or two oddities, I might not think there was design. But there are dozens, if not more. There is something really strange going on in our solar system, especially with the sun, Earth and moon.In further rounds I will bring up the points of Flaws in the Accretion Model, and the Idealness of the Solar System For Human Life.
Note about my numbers: Yes, the numbers I am using are not exact, they are Ideal or Platonic numbers, and if you wish I will discuss that subject.
Pro failed to explain what the significance of the number "72" has relative to evidence of an intelligent designer of our universe as it relates to geometric shapes and measurements of our known universe. However, even if all of those measurements Pro posted were (a) perfectly accurate (i.e divisible by 72 down to an infinite number of decimal places and (b) in standard metric system format, I don't see how these can be considered evidence at all - they're interesting observations that peak curiosity, but not indicative of a grand designer.
Mostly forfeit on Pro's part.
Con effectively refuted all of Pro's arguments. No rebuttal was offered nor any additional evidence to the paltry and seemingly coincidental evidence submitted in the first round.
Pro fails to ascertain why the imprecise coincidences prove an intricate design. Con caused Pro to forfeit but this wasn't just by being better, Pro is quitting smoking cold turkey as posted on the 0
Personal forums so there's clearly a lot going on in her life. Do not judge this loss as her quitting the site, may she become healthier happier and a better debater in time!
Full forfeit - in addition, con clearly deserves the win even were full forfeits unmoderated. It was a pretty good refutation in his opening reply.
because there is no way at all an inherent default of the solar system being non-constructed and far too many coincidences and patterns beyond this to imply it was an invented concept either by humans or some alien demigod beings or even God herself.
You did not say that
The diameter
Yeah the sun is about 64 MILLION times bigger than the moon.
"you could get about 64.3 million moons inside the Sun"

How is this not one giant argument from incredulity?
designed=created by an intelligence of some sort
Define designed and I may accept
To be sure, I do not know who the designer is
Do your best. :)
It is designed but to be clear, it's designed by fraudulent organisation of NASA, Roscosmos & Co.
