It probably will be, but a point for argument would be "Fossil fuels SHOULD continue to be the fuel of choice over other forms of energy including renewable forms"

Your argument is more of a factual claim... you see what I mean?

Please leave an email though

Awesome guys

if you want to post an email, that would be good
(just make one on gmail or something)

>>3482826
Well I figure I'll try it out, at least for those who suggested it and are interested. MS asked for it to be opened up to /sci/ before opening it up to the room.

>>3482800
Awesome, thank you very much.

The great thing about a forum like this is that people will be able to dissect every argument as they see fit. So while I agree, under normal circumstances the winners of debates are usually those more skilled and less "right", your second point saying how democratic this board is makes this a great idea for stimulating conversation. No one is going to be declared a "Winner" by me or anyone else in any official capacity, but it will be open for interpretation by /sci/. Hope I answered you well.

UPDATE: We have a challenger!

Mad Scientist has accepted to go head to head in an agreed upon topic with anyone willing to hold their own in debate.

Right now we are seriously considering the topic of: "The private enterprising of space exploration (as opposed to organizations like NASA) is more beneficial to human progress." Mad Sci is AGAINST the proposal, believing that funding for NASA should continue.

Other possible topics:
- Overpopulation is an imminent threat to the survival of humanity
- Climate change is of an anthropogenic origin (result of humans)

Note: there are no plans to begin a debate relating to religion or God at the time being.

So, if you wish to participate in a debate, and have read the above rules, then below I encourage you to:
1. Make a tripcode (see the 4chan help page if you need to learn how)
2. Post what argument you wish to debate in. If it has already been mentioned, please consider your post a vote for the topic. If it has not been mentioned please clearly outline the argument and your position.

With any luck our first debate will begin starting on Monday or sooner.

Thank you
- Dr. Richard

Upcoming Formal Debates on /sci/:

So, I've been discussing this with a few people on /sci/, and everyone seems quite excited about the prospect. /Sci/ is great for talking and discussing topics but is limited for those looking for factual and serious debate. For this reason I figure this might be worth a try. All input is welcome.

The format will be similar to most other online debates and will feature topics of interest to /sci/. The rules are as follows:


- 2 Debaters.
- Must use tripcodes to retain identity.
- Each debater will have 1 post to declare position and initial reasoning.
- There will be 2 rebuttals each
- And there will be 1 closing argument summing up their side of the debate.(Making the total number of posts in a debate 8).
- Each rebuttal must be within 24 hours of the opponents last post (but is likely to be much quicker than that).
- Try to keep posts between 300 and 1,500 words.
- Questionable data must be supported with citations to reputable and unbiased studies or findings (the burden of proof is on both participants).
- Discussion of the topic should probably be kept in another thread, but being as this is /sci/, no one is stopping you from flamming or trolling, that is your right :)

These rules are just preliminary and will likely change depending on how it goes.
