Chicken and Egg Problem Solved
Full Version: Chicken and Egg Problem Solved
Java Pimp writes "It seems scientists and philosophers now agree which came first. The Egg. From the CNN article: 'Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal's life. Therefore the first bird that evolved into what we would call a chicken, probably in prehistoric times, must have first existed as an embryo inside an egg. Professor John Brookfield, a specialist in evolutionary genetics at the University of Nottingham, told the UK Press Association the pecking order was clear.' So, does this mean we can now show P=NP?"

Dude. I think we already knew this.
Or does this just mean that they finally decided that a "chicken egg" is defined by its genetic material and not by whether or not it was laid by a chicken?

That's exactly what I've been saying the whole time.
Of course, Myscrnnm won't agree with this. 
That's not true. Myscrnnm has long said that chickens were brought here by aliens and that they came in their tiny space capsules called "eggs." He would agree with this statement entirely. Take that you n00b!
I have the same alien theory as well as myscrnnm.
So do I. It is the most beliveable one....... Sort of....
I've been arguing this exact point for years.
it could be that god made the chicken.

funny story. I havnt been to church in 4 or 5 years. Last week I got a letter in the mail telling me that I had been removed from the list of active members.
I've been through a lot of physical trauma via blunt objects, but those are stories for another day.

Why should I go to a church that I dont respect to worship a god that I dont believe exists? It has nothing to do with boredom. I personally think that religion is fascinating. It's just that I also believe that it's a load of crap.

Lets see. I've been nailed in the face with several spherical objects, twice with a baseball, once with a golf ball, and once with a crab apple. I've been hit with all kinds of stuff at skateparks, boards and parts of boards... one time a guys front tire came off his BMX bike and nailed me in the back of the head. Last fall me and a friend were wrestling in front of a box trailer that had these 6 inch iron rods coming out of it, looked kind of like door stops, and I went to throw him off, and while I was coming up one of the rods ended up inside my mouth and broke off like three of my bottom teeth.
All kinds of fun stuff.
you know what. Who cares who came first. its a chiken and frekin egg.

It's not like anyone has to go to church and cry for gods mercy. Don't target people for that.

QUOTE(Some random article about Pascal's Wager)
Say that God exists. This god created the universe and everything in it including us. When we die, God selects some of us for eternal paradise and others for eternal torture. Of all the creatures on Earth, humans are the only ones that God gave intelligence, so obviously God wants us to use our intellect and to be freethinkers. So when we die, God will reward freethinkers with eternal paradise and punish the people who through away their reason by sending them to hell.
The wager is this: If you abandon reason and believe in God and it turns out that she exists, you are sent to hell in the next life. However, if you apply your intellect and withhold belief, and God actually exists, you get to go to heaven in the next life. Furthermore, if God does not exist and you spent your life believing in her, you have sacrificed your integrity and your self-respect and you have spent a lifetime helping to hold back human progress. So if God exists and you believe in her, you lose. And if God does not exist and you believe in her, you lose. Therefore we should all disbelieve.

you know what [bleeped!] you, you can belive in nothing and sit in you corner, but as long as i live im beliving in what i choose.
u can say that God doesn't exsist all u want. But don't yell at us who do believe in God. We can believe in anything we want and we chose to believe in God. You chose not too. So don't yell at us for believeing something different.

Also true. We have the right to believe in God or nothing at all, so do not persecute us for using our rights that were given to us by people more important than you who fought and died in wars to make this country what it is.
