My speeches so far...

Ok, here are two of my speeches. I gave them in speech class. The first one's on evolution...

Most Americans do not believe in evolution. In fact, did you know that more than half of America believes that God created everything? Yet, this belief has been kept out of all public schools and in most private schools as well. It really doesn’t make sense to teach something not even half of the population believes. Unfortunately, that is what happens. There are many reasons why the evolution theory is wrong; here are a few of those reasons:

First of all, the world itself testifies against evolution. When you look at this world, what do you see? Think about how complex a cell is. Or how a bee flies, because scientifically, it shouldn’t be possible. But if you look at this world closely enough, it just makes you think, “Wow”. How could everything come out of nothing randomly? It just doesn’t make any sense. The entire universe is so complexly designed, our earth so perfectly far away from the sun that it can’t have just happened by accident. And that’s basically what evolution states.

The second reason is Mars. The planet shows signs of past riverbeds, but no signs of vegetation. It has even proven to have a past of suitable atmospheric pressure for living things. Mars has had all it needs to generate a “spark” of life, according to the theory of evolution. Yet, the ground has no fossils. The planet has had no life.

Thirdly, matter and stars have to come from somewhere. They can’t just appear. The Big Bang theory doesn’t help to explain it. How can a bang happen, and then suddenly matter and stars appear? It doesn’t make any sense. Such large quantities of space cannot just appear. It’s simply not possible for them to come by randomly. Sure the big bang may have been a colossal, amazing, boom, but it doesn’t help explain where matter came from. I know that you may not believe in creation, or intelligent design, as it’s more often called, but I hope you will at least think about what I’m saying. Thank you.

So that's the persuasive speech on evolution vs. creation. My other speech is on sea camp, and it's supposed to be entertaining... oops, seems like I can't find it...anyway, I'll get it some other time. Just remember to check back on this post once in a while.
