As dreams are made on; and our little

Is rounded with a sleep." ~Prospero

Intelligent Design Debate (90 minutes)
“Altruistic Behavior” How does altruism bridge the gap
between evolution and creationism? How does love for one and other
at one’s own expense make it through an evolutionary process. Being
the biggest, meanest individual would definitely allow survival of
the fittest and speak for evolution. But, how does kindness and love
evolve through the ages. Each debate team will be given which side
they are to defend 30 minutes prior to the debate. Our intentions
are to not only debate the issues but to cause awareness of our
debate topic on our campus.
