My debate was against Jonathan George who raised the point that genes are what we are born with and coincide with God's plan for us. I said it didn't count for non-christians then and people are raised to think that.

3 Debate Issues
1st Debate Point:
John R. Watson conducted an experiment that showed that people develop phobias based on prior experiences and they aren't born with them by causing a previously unafraid baby to attain a fear of rats.
2nd Debate Point:
People who have genetic disorders can overcome them with treatments, proving that genetic disorders can be overcome
3rd Debate Point:
People who say genes determine how you act are just making excuses for criminals to feel better about how they are, it's an easy answer.
