Arguments: 1. The existence of complexity of the order found in the natural world is too great to envisage an origin other than complex design .
2. The complexity of the human body , of ecosystems , and even of bacteria , attests to the existence of creative agency .
3. Nature is marked by clear design .
4. Likewise , certain organisms can be shown to be irreducibly complex , meaning that if one were to remove any part of it , it would lose all functionality .
5. It is impossible that such things as , for example , interdependent species could come to exist without the guidance of a designer .
6. For example , the bacterial flagellum , the `` motor '' that powers bacterial cells , loses all functionality if a single component is removed .
7. This refutes the gradualist argument of evolution , since there is no selective pressure on the organism to change when it is functionless .
8. Creationism serves to explain the various mysteries of biology currently absent from the evolutionary biologists ' picture of the world .
9. Besides design , the only explanation of its development is blind chance , which is nonsensical .

Debate: This house would teach creationism in schools


Arguments: 1. Community radio can both encourage an initial outpouring of democracy and , just as importantly , ensure that a diversity of opinions means that one autocratic regime is not just replaced by another .
2. As Orwell put it , ` In an age of universal deceit , to tell the truth is a subversive act ' .
3. In a country where people have heard only one perspective , anything that can break the monopoly is to be welcomed .
4. The events of the Arab Spring -LRB- and previous events such as the revolutions of 1989 -RRB- have shown that effective means of communicating are vital .
5. As a result they are free to eschew the bland lowest common denominator approach that is so typical of commercial radio .
6. As the focus of community radio is public service , rather than profit , responsible to and frequently produced by their listener base there do not have commercial advertisers aversion to upsetting authority either political or cultural .
7. In almost all other forms of mass communication , genuinely democratic voices are easily swamped by those with either the power or the money to drown out the competition .

Debate: This House believes community radio is good for democracy


Arguments: 1. The only way to take a vote that is representative of the nation as a whole is to ballot the nation as a whole .
2. The whole purpose of the resolution is to eliminate or control for statistical and demographic inequalities that may give certain candidates an advantage unrelated to the popularity of their policies .
3. Due to high levels of social and financial deprivation among minority populations throughout the US , African Americans are likely to vote in a way that reflects concern about laws and policies that regulate access to educational subsidies and state supported health care .
4. Latino voters may have strong familial ties with south American nation states .
5. The minority populations of both of the early states are relatively low , and this can impact on the outcome of their primaries .
6. Minority populations - such as African and Latino Americans - and migrants who have been granted citizenship will approach the issues at the heart of a presidential campaign from a different perspective .
7. However , all this does is replicate the problem in new and imaginative ways ; every state will have its own demographic abnormalities .
8. Questions of educational aspiration and social mobility among black voters in South Carolina can not be compared to the debates surrounding community integration and immigration in Arizona .
9. Correspondingly , candidates positions on cross border trade and the enforcement of immigration laws are likely to influence the voting decisions of Latino Americans .
10. There have been a number of solutions proposed to this , including the rotation of first primaries around the country .

Debate:
This House would hold all U.S. presidential primaries on the same day.
