cd976c033f2d | C5B52323339E | I just strongly think that aliens are made up they can't be real there is no proof to back up what everyone believes . Space doesn't have any gravity so their can't be any animals up there floating ! The mask kinda looks like clay maybe the mask is made out of clay that you can mold it into anything you want !

b833fbc3fd46 | C619833B1D5D | Whether you are someone who believes conspiracy theories, or are just plain stupid and think that somehow the Face is evidence of alien life, you are still wrong | Lead | Adequate |
b222b379e6cb | C619833B1D5D | It's just a rock, a plain, thousands of years old, heap of rock. The End, no "Ifs, ands, or buts", there is evidence saying that this is just a mesa, a landform, we have picture proof of it. | Position | Effective |
27cdf3bac6dd | C619833B1D5D | So, I will cover two major points to prove to you that it's a landform, common sense, | Claim | Adequate |
0a0f20ce7101 | C619833B1D5D | and the facts that we here at NASA have proven to be true. | Claim | Adequate |
6f551e1c1c4b | C619833B1D5D | First off, this argument is over whether Face was created by aliens, or whether it is just a natural landform. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
aba91d14fdeb | C619833B1D5D | This is a pretty strange argumental topic, as people who believe this stuff anyway will hardly be convinced by a random scientist at NASA. | Rebuttal | Adequate |
47961e65d2ee | C619833B1D5D | Anyway, there is proof we have that face is just a natural landform, | Claim | Adequate |
ed67155c5719 | C619833B1D5D | we have taken multiple pictues of it, and have concluded that, as shown with this cite of evidence, "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the America West." We can even say that it was not obscured by any clouds or haze because it was clear day on Mars the... | Evidence | Adequate |
f592011d5db0 | C619833B1D5D | That should be the end of the discussion, but yet you say, "But Mister science man, what if the pictures that you took couldn't see it because it was too small?" | Counterclaim | Adequate |
dbbfce31938c | C619833B1D5D | Well, that point can actually be rebuted as well, because of what Jim Garvin, the chief scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program, said, "As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixer size," he added. "So, if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the grou... | Rebuttal | Effective |
bf6bd6f5976f | C619833B1D5D | Don't think I don't see you thinking, "But will a only a photo actually be able to properly discern whether this is natural." | Counterclaim | Adequate |
751dda0cba4b | C619833B1D5D | Well......no, it won't. Actually, you have me entirely beat on the fact that it simply could be a landform, made by aliens. Yes, there I admit it, sit at home and laugh at the fact that I could be wrong. Look, Mister Whoever reads this for a job, I argue for a living with my friend, and there is simply not enough evide... | Evidence | Adequate |
3102b13ace56 | C619833B1D5D | Here is the other side to the point I just made, think about this rationally for a second, could aliens really have made a monument or some strange thing on Mars, only for it to be found by humans? | Rebuttal | Adequate |
64c6e05472d6 | C619833B1D5D | Probably not, and all of this is so improbable that I really don't even need to write an argumentative essay about it anyway. There is an extremely small and slim chance that aliens had any part in making a mesa on Mars. | Evidence | Ineffective |
1b89fff37386 | C619833B1D5D | So all in all, there is factual proof we have, cited from the text I was given to say that aliens had no part in the making of Face, and that it is a natural landform. However, it isn't concrete proof, so for all we now it could be an alien itself. I have no idea, and neither will you. Again though, rationally, it has ... | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
