For Debating!! Please Help!!

They are my rough ideas. Support your arguments with facts or evidence to make them stronger and more persuasive. The points below can serve to provide very brief introductions. You must convince your audience with arguments plus facts.

I hope you find them helpful.

1. Explain how "developing" should be defined.

Developing is the process of invention of new ideas, products, academic models, theories, etc.

Therefore, developing requires creativity. Imagination is the key stone of creativity.

2. Explain why imagination is important.

Imagination energizes developing, and empowers us the room of possibilities. Developing is all about possibilities, no matter they point to success or failure. With imagination, different possibilities can be explored and even expanded.

3. Explain why science can't take the key role in the process of developing.

Science emphasizes proofs and objective facts. To obtain objective facts, certain rules and assumptions must be observed. The rules and assumptions themselves are constraints to disallow creativity from growing as much as possible.

4. Conclusion

Therefore, developing has to start with imagination, and be supplemented by science. In a word, imagination is more important than Science for developing.

Ok, I am sorry for having overlooked your stand. This is my revised edition.

Developing is not singly the process of inventing new ideas, products, academic models, theories, etc., In the process of invention, science has to take charge in order to support assumptions with facts, data, and tests, etc. before they can be made usable and practicable to us.

2. Explain why science is important, and why imagination can't take the key role in the process of developing.

Science concerns collection of objective facts (in forms of data, mathematical formulae, etc.) through tests and observations. It plays a key role in all aspects of our lives. Take development of a new flavor of potato chips as an example. With imagination, the new flavor is proposed.

To continue the process of developing, it MUST be followed by science – tests (e.g. food safety tests, allergy tests, flavor tests) observations (e.g. biological responses to the chemicals used for the new flavor).

2009-06-11 12:01:16 補充：
It is possible to launch the flavor without very careful, constant tests and observations. Only with scientific methods, fatal or extremely allergic ingredients can be detected, avoided, and even waived before they are launched in the public.

3. Conclusion

2009-06-11 12:01:34 補充：
Therefore, imagination cannot stand alone to rule itself. Science must be involved and assigned a key role to ensure safety, accuracy and objectiveness. Imagination can only serve to initiate new ideas, but cannot make the ideas really practicable and executable.

CORRECTION: It is NOT possible to launch the new flavor without very careful, constant tests and observations. Only with scientific methods, fatal or extremely allergic ingredients can be detected, avoided, and even waived before the products are officially launched.
