what came first? would you hear it?

Question

intellegent answers please..

1. what came first the chicken or the egg? and why?

2. if a tree fell in the middle of the forest but no one was around to hear it fall, would it still make a noise? and why?

my answers ready?

1. chicken came first.. tell ya why ready? well really it depends on the way you argue creation or evolution. because evolution says that the egg always comes first only because they believe that any species were the offspring of another similar species which helps the argument that the egg always comes first. being that i dont believe in evolution, of course i argue it from the creation stand point, and since all species that predate humanity started as adults, meaning the chicken came before the chicken egg.

2. this is the question i hate most.. its retarded that people ask this so often and think its so witty.. first of all, ask yourself if they make a sound if they fall period. of course they will make a sound.. now what difference would there be if you were there or not? if your there and they make a sound, they damn well will make a sound if your not there.. are we so superior that if we are not present to be witness to something that means that there is not way it could have happend? how dumb.. seriously, this questions gets me so heated.. i loath this question

Answer 1

1. The chicken. Just like the other guy said. An egg has to be fertilized, nested and hatched. Even if the egg did come first, it wouldn't have been kept warm therefore it wouldn't hatch there for the chicken would not exist.

2. This question is stupid. Of course it would still make a noise. Just because we are not there doesn't prevent it from happening. But.....If we are not there to see it fall, then how do we know it fell in the first place o_O

Answer 2

1. The chicken definitely came first. Think about it, eggs need to be sat on to be kept warm so they can survive. How would a cold chicken egg hatch? And what would have laid the egg? Another chicken. The same with any animal. What came first, a dog or a pregnant dog? The animal must have been there first.

2. The tree would make a sound. If a tree falls, the sound from the fallen tree would make vibrations. These vibrations could potentially affect another scenario. Example: The vibrations from a fallen tree in the mountains could start an avalanche.

Answer 3

I just have to get this out. These questions are not ones that can be met with logical thought. These both have to do with the principles of philosophy. As some would believe, the tree doesn't even exist if we don't acknowledge it. You are looking at these in the wrong light, and if they piss you off, than your looking at them in a dumber light. Really, upset by a question?

Answer 4

1. duh...the chicken came first
2. something would hear the tree anyway

Answer 5

you know what? I have to agree with you on both accounts.

Answer 6

That is pretty much what I would have said.
