The matter of the universe spines in a circle clock wise the faster and faster it goes the bang the planets spin clock wise this is called Conservation of Angular Momentum but some planets spin backwards Venus and Uranus.

I was challenged to this debate, probably a bit after I labeled all creationist arguments as not worth the digital space on the internet. I was about to shoot this debate down but I think I'll actually take it.

I'm not going to put a lot of effort into this. Here, have a link. It's the EXACT answer to your Kent Hovind brand argument-in-a-can.

http://www.talkorigins.org...

Above is a complete disproof. I will now explain the argument provided in the link.

1a. Physics can't really apply in a black and white manner here. Why? because the big bang is an expansion of space, not a giant explosion where there is a calculatable result

1b. Another argument is not just the spin of planets, but the spin of galaxies. Galaxies formed *after* the big bang when things started to settle down, hence, we can expect random spins.

1c. Conservation of angular momentum does not mean all things have to spin the same way. If two spinning things run into each other, they may start spinning in opposite directions. Backwards spinning planets can thus be accounted for given the size of the universe.

2. The author argues that even if the big bang were just an explosion, random spins of planets are to be expected because the pieces fly out spinning in different directions.

A little addendum:

Why would God make two planets spin differently from the others? For giggles?

Not that vote counts matter, of course.

It's called "Vote bombing". It is an act of terrorism by Josh and those like him who hate the free exchange of ideas.

Why does the instigator have any points at all?

All of my vote goes to Pro as well. I don't think an explanation is necessary.

Cleaning out Kleptin...
All my points go to Kleptin.
Conduct: benjisak forfeited two rounds. That is bad show, bad show.
Spelling: I hate run-ons!!!
Arguments: Some planets don't spin clockwise isn't an argument, sorry.
Sources: talkorigins is much more reliable than an unsourced claim.

They sub the episodes for season 2 merely a day after they come out.

Currently, the four episodes for season 2 have subbed and uploaded on both of the following two websites.

I see your point L-M. If one were to vote, it does make sense to vote PRO due to the fact that two rounds were forfeited by CON. I did not vote, but should the votes become closer, I will vote PRO since he clearly deserves to win.

Wow. I didn't even see that LM. You would think that the bright red and green would catch my attention x.x

Anyway, yes, Code Geass was awesome, and I've been waiting a LOOOONG time for the second season to air. I don't think it's been subbed yet even though it's showing in Japan.
