Round 1
Forfeited
Firstly, to disprove the existence of God there needs to be proof of him, which there really isn't any concrete solid evidence for it. Even so, evolution does not indicate a creator, common points someone would make could be the perfectness of life, which there really isn't since 99% of all species which have ever existed are extinct. The point of a necessity for creation to have a creator is also not true; the creation of life as we know it is random, made possible by the right molecules and the right structures coming together at the right time and place. Any questioning of creation as in the big bang is irrelevant in this debate as it does not involve evolution. I don't really have anything to work off of so I'm just putting some of my thoughts on what he could argue and responding to it.

I don't understand why saying 83% of Americans believe a God exists and saying that Darwin, a man long dead would be relevant to mention. Genuinely asking
This, for voters, is a useless debate. The instigator, Pro, was a full forfeit, and Con offered an argument in R1, only, and that argument consisted of 5 sentences, the last of which abdicated because he “…[didnt] really have anything to work off of…” [sic] since Pro’s R1 was a forfeit, as if Con did not have a personal BoP to develop. The previous 4 sentences were mere claims without substance, assuming all naturally agree. Nope, all Con claims are easily demonstrated as false. In a Pew Research poll of 2023, 83% of Americans of a wide variety of religions and national origins believe a God exists. Even Darwin’s first edition of Origin of Species concluded with assurance that there was a Creator, and he did not mean a random selection of impersonal evolution.
It is Indeed not disproven.
A clearer and less difficult burden of proof in your resolution would be:
The existence of God as the sole designer of the universe is not disproven by the theory of evolution.
