True or false. Support your answer. "Given absolutely nothing, humans have never created anything."

Question

"Absolutely nothing" means no raw materials to start with.

Answer 1

True. Humans have never created anything out of nothing. I have yet to see anyone prove this statement to be false. The beauty of the statement is that it applies to everything as well. Music, poetry, emotions, those do not come from nothing. Those are expressions from our mind and our souls. (Both of which are something and not nothing.) As someone pointed out above me, man has not created anything. We have merely changed the forms of the things around us. Everything that is on this planet, came from this planet. The cell phone, the computer, your clothes, everything. I will wait for the day when a man creates something out of purely nothing. Let's talk about man-made elements, if this gets brought up. There are protons, electrons, and neutrons which compose everything on this planet. So, even though the elements did not exist before, the components to make them were all there. (Even those components are made of smaller things!!) Neat, huh? I also believe that if something came from nothing, then the laws of physics must be broken. Let's use Energy as an example. If you have a system with constant energy, the only thing that can change it is an outside source which can add or remove energy. Since the universe goes on forever, it seems like there cannot be a physical source which can add or remove energy. For man to create energy to add to the universe, which has constant energy, is a Ridiculous idea. We're in the universe, therefore inside the system, we cannot alter the energy levels!

Answer 2

im not sure what you mean about "never created anything," because i know that 99% of the objects and things we encounter in everyday life did not exist when the earth was created.

one thing im not too sure about is when objects or materials are referred to as "man-made." everything we have ever made as human beings has come from the earth. we have not created anything out of thin air. even though we mix different things to come up with plastic, rubber, etc., every particle that goes into the making of these "man-made" things came from the earth at some point or time.

Answer 3

False.
'Fear and Paranoia' would be created over the inability to create anything tangible due to the lack of any raw materials to use.

Answer 4

False... how about music which is created within our minds and requires nothing, even if we have enriched it with other materials to make it louder or change its sound, we could make music and dance with only our own bodies. That's probably why music and dance is so primitive and feels so deeply rooted in our consciousness.

Answer 5

why unnecessarily one can struggle hard to create something, when copying, duplicating and imitating is so easy.
we never create anything new, only we alter things according to the ever changing human needs.

Answer 6

Stories, poetry. Language itself!

The human imagination is pretty strong.

Answer 7

Humans have made bowls out of human skulls, braided hair, and scars.

Answer 8

That all depends if anything exists really or not which is too debateable for here :P

Answer 9

true because there would be nothing to make the thing with!

Answer 10

it's amazing what theoretical scientists come up with in their heads so i say that's false
