There is a difference between debate and argumentation.

afaik, in typical debate the goal is to convince an audience, while in an argument the audience is the one opposing your point of view.

I think it is less likely that there is nothing else besides our universe and more likely that there is a multiverse or infiniverse

Actually - an argument between Neils Bohr & Albert Einstein lasted for decades. It turned out one side was right, and it wasn't Einstein.
