Welcome to the forums! I thought I'd drop in because of something you said in this post, and I figured I might be able to help out a little.
Unless I'm mistaken I thought these forums were about exchanging ideas and beliefs without having to prove anything.
That is emphatically not the case. For future reference, I advise you examine the
Forum Guidelines for further information. Rule number four is
quote:
Points should be supported with evidence and/or reasoned argumentation. Address rebuttals through the introduction of additional evidence or by enlarging upon the argument. Do not repeat previous points without further elaboration. Avoid bare assertions.
The type of evidence depends on whether you are discussing in a science based forum or a faith based forum. As you can see from the 'trail' at the top this thread is
'Science Forums' - 'Human Origins' - 'why DID we evolve into humans?', so you should back up your posts with evidence of a scientific nature.
It is also a good idea to read the
first post in any thread, to get some kind of context of what the debate is about...though debate topics do tend to drift. Especially this one; it was started about 3 years ago now!
Incidentally, in order to ensure your words are read by as many people as possible, try to format your paragraphs in the manner common to the online medium: With 'whitespace' or empty lines seperating each paragraph. It makes it easier on the eyes and so results in easier reading . If you didn't know already, you'll have to trust me when I say that anything that hinders communication in debate (especially in written debate where much of our communication is lost) is going cause unneeded problems.
