EDIT: Poor institutions cause hell in Asian North Korea, White Soviet Russia, and Hispanic Central America. Race is not the issue.
All races create poor institutions, yes, but not all behave similarly. North Korea, as a nation, has different practices and values than Soviet Russia, and values that are even more distinct from Central American dictatorships.
racism that doesn't exist because we all belong to the one race the human race.
Bullshit. Racism and race (although in the case of the latter, reality is somewhat different from popular assumption) are both very real and very significant.
There are some things about the "good ol' days" (whenever they may be...) that I do miss.
However, many problems are steadily decreasing (deaths, crime rate, scientific and technological breakthroughs). Not to say everything is getting better (not a fan of the Western progressive's line of thought, or the media's recent attempts to delve into social justice), but a lot of things are improving.

An what are the odds of one of those rocky planets hitting another rocky planet at a perfect glancing blow to both give the earth an oversized iron core necessary for a strong magnetic field as well as a very large moon in orbit to stabilize the planet's spin and seasons?
1: It doesn't need to be a "perfect glancing blow"
2: Plenty of other planets have moons and seasons. Also, the habitable zone is pretty large, and somewhat inaccurate too, as other forms of life could develop in areas that would be inhospitable to us.
And after all that, some how amino acids had to magically combine to make life, something that mathematically should never happen.
Yeah.. it's a little more complicated than that. Here's a good video on the matter: http://www.youtube.com/
Also, just because we don't know everything, that doesn't mean we should stop looking for answers and claim it was all made by a deity. And not just any deity, your deity from your religion from your denomination.
I know there's theories such as the big bang but I believe it is more than mere coincidence that our planet is perfectly shaped and placed in just the right distance away from the sun for us to survive.
Do you have any idea how many planets there are out there? Billions upon billions. The chances of the planet being in the correct position are pretty nice.
Also, what about the planet's shape? It's round, like nearly every planet out there.
Here's what's wrong with this argument:
A male can certainly try to imitate a female or vice versa
To start off, most people who act feminine/masculine, usually ARE feminine/masculine. Not all men are perfectly masculine and not all women are perfectly feminine.
such an imitation is not a positive influence on a child.
See above, also, men with feminine qualities rarely behave in a completely feminine manner.
If a child is female, she should be proud of that fact and embrace it.
Sure, but a person shouldn't be forced to alter their personality or tastes solely because of biology.
She should not be confused between what nature says and what her flamboyant second dad acts like.
To start off, not all gays act in an effeminate manner. While many certainly do, that's more of a comedic stereotype than reality.
Bad argument is bad.
1: Most people who believe in evolution are Christians.
2: Evolution has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
3: Natural selection=evolution, so unless you can give me one reason as to why it would stop working in a large scale of time, it's perfectly observable.
4: Apes can have sexual intercourse (fail man, fail), apes have emotions, apes can even paint.
5: EVolution is not a random guess. If you honestly think it is, you fail on a level so epic it deserves a brand-spankin' new title.
Well.. yes. I'm not saying gay people should be wiped out, but the possibility of someone becoming gay should be. This is a good solution because:
a: Gay people do not lose their rights
b: Fundamentalists will not have to deal with any new gay people
1. There is only one Christianity
Yes and no. There is only one Christian religion, but there are many, many Christian denominations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ListofChristian_denominations
2. The bible is pretty clear on the matter
It's clear on a lot of things many Christians don't take seriously.
Look, a debate site is for debates. If you're not open to you (or Christianity) being wrong then go to a Christian forum where you can lead an existence where everyone will agree with you and never question your beliefs.
So, what are you waiting for?
You just told us :D
Lie: an intentionally false statement.
As far as Christians are concerned, they're not lying, so the worst you can accuse them off on the basis of legitimacy is misinformation.
Also, Christianity has about as much evidence going for it as Buddhism does.

Three Things for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where Shadows eat pie.
One Thing to rule them all, One Thing to find them,
One Thing to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where Shadows eat pie.
...causes her any emotional distress,
If she causes him emotional distress, no one would persecute her
...or simply just annoys her can potentially be prosecuted under the VAWA.
Just simply annoys her? That's the sixth stupidest thing I've ever hear in my entire life
