Bertot pointed me to a debate between two people about "the existence of god".
In this debate one of the participants, namely Mr. Warren, had asked his opponent 10 questions. I would like to give answers to these myself, as I think Mr. Flew (the one who answered these questions) gave some pretty lousy answers to them.
First of all, here's the entire debate: http://www.thebible1.net/video/warrenflewdebate/
The questions are all brought up during Mr. Warren's first speech.
I will reproduce the questions and my answers here:
This is the volution part, there is also a morality part.
4) Of the following statements, which one is true or false?
A woman was on earth before any human baby.

True.
A human baby was on earth before any woman.
False.
Now note, I'm talking about modern humans here. This wasn't clear from the question, and I certainly would've asked for clarification if I could.
6) Of the following statements, which one is true or false?
At least one human being now living on Earth formerly was an ape or some other non human being, and that ape was transformed into a human being.

False.
At least one human being that lived in the past but who is now dead was at one time an ape or some other non human being, and that ape was transformed into that human being.
False.
I would further like to say this is a ridiculous straw man.
7) Of the following statements, which one is true or false?
At least one human being now living on earth was begotten of a male ape, or some other non human male, and born of a female ape or some other non human female.

False.
At least one human being who lived in the past but is now dead was begotten of a male ape, or some other non human male, and born of a female ape or some other non human female.
This one's true. Note, I am again talking of modern humans.
Now that you have my answers, I would like to discuss the points raised by these questions and my answers to them. Do you agree or disagree, and why?
