.999... is equal to 1
.999... = 1 is a false statement. Definitions .999... refers to .9 with recurring nines 1 refers to the real number, 1 = means is exactly equal to .999... is actually equal to .999... not one. Many people simply round, however some say it actually equals 1, which is false Most people that contend 1 is = to .999... usually provide the below mathematical proof. Step 1) Let x = .999... Step 2) 10x = 9.999... (multiplying RHS and LHS by 10) Step 3) 10x - x = 9.999... - x (subtra...
.999... is exactly equal to 1

Just to confirm the resolution is as follows: .999... = 1 Definitions .999... refers to .9 with recurring nines 1 refers to the real number, 1 = means is exactly equal to .999... is exactly equal to one I'll let my opponent start....
Evolutionary Theory is a Farce
I Affirm: Modern and Past Evolutionary Theory is a Farce. Note: So as not to get into a semantical argument Farce could easily be replaced with "not true" or "incorrect". The motivation of the Pro is to ascertain evolutionary theory, with current knowledge, should not be accepted as true or a plausible explanation for existence. Macroevolution is what is being contested not microevolution. Evolutionary Theory implies macroevolution. Definitions(more definitions to follow if the desire or need...
Intelligent design is not a scientific theory.
I affirm that Intelligent design is not a scientific theory. [Definitions] Intelligent Design- Is the assertion that the universe and its features are explained by design by an omnipotent power (such as a god). Scientific Theory- A logically self-consistent model or framework for describing the behavior of a related set of natural or social phenomena. It originates from or is supported by experimental evidence. In this sense, a theory is a systematic and formalized expression of all pr...

Resolved: The idea of Intelligent Design is a product of religion, not science.
I affirm. [Definitions] Intelligent Design- A conjecture claiming that biological life on Earth, or more broadly, the universe as a whole, was created by an unspecified intelligent agent rather than being the result of undirected natural processes. (en.wiktionary.org/wiki/intelligent design) Product- A consequence of someone's efforts or of a particular set of circumstances (wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn) [Burdens] Affirmative- Must show that Intelligent Design as defined is a...

Australia is a better place to live than the USA.
Yes, that is right Australia is a better place to live in than the USA. This I will demonstrate convincingly through the four rounds. My points will be. 1) How the living standard in the USA is poor. 2) How the living standard in Australia is superior to the USA My opponent must demonstrate why Australia is not a better place to live than the USA, statistics would be appreciated. I hope those who vote base their vote on how either side debated, and not their opinion. I thank whoeve...
Australia is a better place to live than the USA.
Yes, Australia is a better place to live than the USA. By 'better place to live' I essentially am referring to living standards. This refers to the living standards of the country as a whole, as in, just providing an example of one person living happily does not make any country a better place to live than any other. This debate is 4 rounds. I will demonstrate that A) The living standard in the USA is comparatively poor to Australia B) The living standard in Australia is superior to...
