I read that to get admission into the DH, there is some debater challenge I have to do here. So naturally, I'm here to ask, am I elligible to attempt this challenge? I've already made a thread and a few posts. They're pretty easy to see consdering every post I've made has been in here, so you...

As the title suggests, this thread is to intended to harbour intellectual discussion on the nature and ethics of sport. To keep a degree of structure to the thread, we will address one topic at a time. The first topic I would like to open up for discussion is the ethics surrounding "the...

1048576, can I just ask, how much Catholic theology have you actually studied? It's just that anyone who acknowledges how immense it is, knows its no simple fairy tale, whether it's true or not. Secondly, you are aware that an invisible unicorn has entirely different properties to God right...

Can we discuss homosexuality without someone getting offended? Judging by the thread here, the answer is no. The thing is, I don't know who should feel more offended, the gays who read it, or Dre, because he/she was constantly attacked, and it looked like he/she was trying to avoid personal...

Looking at this thread, perhaps one thing that may have been overlooked is that even though the Muslims are not at fault, their decision to build the mosque there may be considered disrespectful in light of 9 11. Suppose it was passed that abortion was made legal. Would it be considered...

But creationism, or at least certain individual creationists, do in fact have their origins in science. Certain astrophysicists have argued that one miniscule tweak of our universe would render life and complexity impossible. In fact, there have been scientists who have converted to Christianity...

It depends on what the main cause of those deaths was. If youths simply lack driving competence, well then perhaps the system and requirements set in place for them to allain their licence should be reviewed. If it's related to ignorance towards alcohol, then perhaps a suggestion could be...

Can I just ask, why, of all rights, the right to the body is the one that takes priority? How did you conclude this? Also, following this strain of logic, if I surgically implant someone else's (born) child into my body, do I have the right to kill it? Dre- Are you for animal rights...

A creationist is a type of theist. A theist is anyone who posits the existence of a higher deity. A creationist is a particular type of theist who discards evolution theory, and believes that such a higher deity created the world in the state it currently is in now. Traditionally it's just...

Actually, that's a purely fidiestic argument. Catholicism rests upon Scripture and Tradition, Tradition coming before Scrpiture. So belief in the Catholic God was around before the Bible was even collaborated. As for the OP, I think the reasoning is flawed. A and B cannot both be the...
