Stupid Questions?

Question

Just want to know what you think:

What came first the chicken or the egg?

Is the glass half empty or half full?

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Answer 1

God created the chicken (ha! got around that one) first.

The glass is half full (just because).

And, yes, it makes a sound, cuz you must have hearing receptors to complete the sound wave cycle, and there are animals/bugs around with ears...

Okay, throw something else at me.

Answer 2

1. The chicken obviously came first when all of the other creatures on the Earth were created. Then, came the egg, the means by which the chicken kept its species alive.
2. It all depends on what kind of person you are. If you tend to be a more postivie person always looking at the bright side of things then it is half full. If you are more of a negative person then the glass is half empty. For me, it's half full.
3. Of course the tree makes a sound! Even if no one heard it, that doesn't mean that it doesn't make a noise. Every tree that falls makes a noise even if it is just a simple rustle of leaves.

Answer 3

1. The Egg. It had to because the Chicken would be a mutation from it's predecessor, which would have to have come from an egg as well.

2. Half Full. To be Empty is to have nothing. To be half of nothing, is nothing. Therefore, it must be half full.

3. It would make a sound based on scientific fact, and no sound based on philosophical theory. The question is - would anyone really care if it fell or not?

Answer 4

1. The Egg - genetic mutations change in the womb or the mating of the species.
2. Half Full.
3. Yes everything makes a sound, we just can't reach the decibels range levels to hear it.

Answer 5

Well the chicken came first. The glass is always half full. And the animals there heard it.

Answer 6

The chicken cames first.
Half full
Yes the tree makes a sound because if you think about it ether has to create friction with other trees which in turn makes sound when it hits the ground it will make vibraions sound is caused by vibraions.

Answer 7

1. Egg...evolutionarily speaking, this is the only way it could have happened.
2. Both, but I prefer half-full.
3. Yes, sound waves are still generated.

Answer 8

1. egg. reptiles came before chickens did.
2. half full. empty = 0, half empty? isn't that half of 0? i think half full is better.
3. of course, it does.
