I am to debate in class. I think Andrew Carnegie is a robber baron, and the other person thinks he is a captain of industry-thus a good man. What questions can I ask him.
I can't come up with good, and solid questions for this debate
Thank you.

I have nothing against evolution but I have been disgruntled by the way in which anti God sentiments have led to the bashing of intelligent design. It is only frequent when one hears a lay person without even a high school knowledge of biology talk about how anyone who questions evolution is a nutter. Then there are biologists such as Dawkins who use this ignorance to persuade the the majority of his view point.


see http://www.discovery.org/scripts/viewDB/filesDB-download.php?command=download&id=660

Its a list of 600 scientists from all around world from cambridge, Harvard, Mit,etc who feel darwinism should be re examined on account of the fundamental thesis of Intelligent design -the complexity of life.


My question is what do you think of this list,does it change your viewpoint on this issue.

I just purchased three soft cover books by Rudyard Kipling. They are "Plain Tales From the Hills" "Unde the Deodars" and "Soldiers Three". They are from 1899 and the books have a swastika printed on their covers associated with a picture of the elephant-headed Hindu god Ganesha. If anyone knows if these would be worth anything id like to know. thanks

it seems logical at first glance however if you read up on it on wikipedia or the online encyclopedia of philosophy, it will say that the ideas of solipsism are One might even say, solipsism is necessarily foundationless, for to make an appeal to logical rules or empirical evidence As a theory, it is incoherent. What makes it incoherent, above all else, is that the solipsist requires a language (that is a sign-system) to think or to affirm his solipsistic thoughts at all.wittgenstein shows this in his private language argument. It is hoplessely undermined and dismissed

and in terms of the brains in a vat and the matrix idea it would not be possible to perceive that we are brains in a vat because if we did we would no be brains in a vat. i think the mans name who gos into detail on this is putman. he basicaly destroys the idea.

So then how is it that solipsism and the brain in a vat are deemed “irrefutable”?? is it that the ONLY reason they are “irrefutable” is because even though we have theories and even logic and common sense proving other wise we still cannot have true empirical evidence of reality because we cannot rely on our senses. So basically we know that reality obviousely exists. Its just that we cant use our senses to prove it. Am I correct?

Even if their work is really professional looking? A real photographer is in it for how good the picture is not the equipment they use. Do you think that is true? It's the person not the camera?

If a person has a good eye as they say they can take excellent pictures with a crappy camea phone or throw away point and clicks in my opinion!!! What do you think?
