you step into a river twice...?

Question

can you step into the same river twice? i think not

Answer 1

Yes and no.
You can certainly say "I stood in the River Severn twice", but the water you stood in the first time has gone and the sediment will have been washed away and replaced.

As you no doubt know by the pitch of your question, it's a metaphor.

Answer 2

What about on two different occassions
or something like the Upper and Lower Nile
or perhaps there is a River Twice

Answer 3

Hmmmn, technically its not identical the second time, because it has altered due to the intrusion of your feet, and other environmental factors, but it is still the same river. If I throw myself in The Thames, it is still The Thames afterwards, even though it has altered. Same as I'm still me even though I'm constantly changing.

What point are you making here and why is this in the religious section? Maybe I misunderstand.
