If a Tree Falls

Reading all the back-and-forth posts from you guys reminded me of………….. First philosopher: "How many philosopher's does it take to change a light bulb?: Second philosopher: "hmmmm. Now there's an interesting question. First we must define "change".

what's a philosopher?

I don't believe in philosophers. There's no room for them in my little "black and white", non-quantum world. Here… everything doesn't need to be proven. Things just are what they are… and probably always will be.

I like that! Too funny.
I started reading thru the posts and thought aarrgghh, too intellectual for me.

Thats why I threw in my little touch of sillyness into the mix, to break the endless intellectualism.

Boys boys boys! Hasnt anybody ever told you never to "debate" politics or religion.

But I think most of you here by now realise Im rarely serious.
Science was never my strong point, a chook (chicken) is a chook and an egg is an egg and at the end of the day, they both make a good meal
I shall save my 139 IQ for the maths class haahaa.

you my sister?

you my sister?

You know, the funny thing is Terry, that until recently I would have answered that with "quite possibly" as I did have an older brother born in 1966 who was adopted (or stolen, depends on how you look at it) at birth.
But I recently discovered he was killed in a car accident at the age of 7.

Anyway, as if there wasnt enough "dscussion" "debate" whatever you want to call it on this matter, I thought I would just throw in that I believe all birds originally evolved from the ocean. Cos I am a stirrer, I will throw that line in and see how many bites we get

all birds originally evolved from the ocean

That's what I call "fishing"

was the whole world an ocean?? if not then no i don't believe anyone can state all life, birds included originated in the ocean… it might of been a big/small lake/puddle, molten rock or even carbon dioxide trapped between tectonic plates that started life as we now know it… i do think that life flourished and diversified tho when it found it's way into the oceans, that is, if it never started there. and i think you'll find all birds actually evolved from a land reptile/dinosaur, if the theories on it are correct of course..

Hummm started with a tree, turned into a debate, now a chicken thrown into the loop, so whats next? Is the glass half full or half Empty? Jimbo

Glass is always full. It may be only half full of water, but then the rest is filled with air.

for using my standard answer to that question before me, i now have to ask, what's it full with in a vacuum?

Can a glass in a vacuum be half full or half empty of water? What happens to water in a vacuum?

don't see why not, just that you'd need to use something to keep it in there, along with the vacuum.

I guess I don't understand your query… The reality is that you can't have water in a vacuum. I guess truthfully… you can't really have a vacuum. So maybe you are just talking a low pressure area… in which case the glass is still full of air.
