Debate I

Oct 9th, our class will debate the following proposition:

Intelligent design should be taught alongside evolutionary theory because it raises valid scientific criticisms of evolution and presents a viable alternative supernatural explanation."

Please notice the emphasis:

• taught alongside
  
• valid scientific criticisms
  
• viable supernatural explanation

We will follow a debate format similar to this but with some timing changes to allow debaters to use visual aids (powerpoint). Details will follow.

Half the class needs to participate in the first debate. Think about whether you want to argue for or against this proposition and you may sign up below (list your class time 10 or 11 and whether you are arguing FOR or AGAINST.) If, after a short period, not enough students have signed up here, I will assign students to fill out the sides.
