Board guidelines

For more information on how the debates board works please view our Formal Debates FAQ.

A debate thread with status "[Debate]" is currently live and only the two debate participants may post there.

The "[Open]" status means that a debate has ended and other members may post comments in the thread. If you are not a participant of a given debate then please do not post in that thread until the "[Open]" status is showing, we will remove any outside comments posted in the middle of a live debate.

In addition to our standard forum rules, for debates we ask:

No ad hominem attacks: Always attack the points being presented based on the merits or otherwise of the argument, do not personally attack, insult, mock or otherwise make derogatory comments aimed at the person who is presenting that argument or with whom you disagree.

Source citation: If you are relying on an unsubstantiated claim to support your side of a debate you must always back up such claims with a logical argument or with a relevant publication citation or source link should one be required or requested in order to validate the accuracy of the claim being made.

Fact vs opinion: If you are presenting a claim that is personal opinion only then please state as such; personal opinion, speculation or hearsay should not be presented as supporting evidence in a debate.

To start a debate with another member click the "Debate" button under one of their posts or from their profile menu.

Please post your ideas for new debate topics here.

Ooooh, debates!
Some ideas:
Evolution vs Creationism: Which is the better theory based on the evidence?
Which presidential candidate has the best experience for the job?
Which presidential candidate is more likely to uphold our liberties based on their past actions and speeches?

Should mankind look for another planet to cultivate, or stay focused on Earth ?

"Did the Jesus spoken of in the New Testament Bible really exist"? I'd happily debate this with someone - naturally I'd be arguing that he indeed did exist.

Or perhaps, "are all religions basically the same at heart"? I'd argue they are not....

Both could prove interesting wink2.gif

Are either atheism or theism logical positions? Or is agnostic the only logical position?

Carnivores v.s. Vegans - Vegetarians...

A Very Interesting Tread Debate would be do those that are Carnivores write and live with more aggressive tone (Male and Female both) than those whom are Vegans, or Vegetarians say also based upon Books read, Movies and music groups and genre listened to…
