Is an egg a chicken?

[AProudLefty]

So it’s ‘poof’ and we have a mighty oak tree lol?

It ain't Jack and the Beanstalk.

Question: if I stuff a chicken in an egg, is it a unborn born chicken? Or unhatched hatched chicken?

It’s a pissed off chicken.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

I will repeatedly try to pretend that there is no difference between an unfertilized chicken egg and a fertilized chicken egg because if I don't, my entire argument tumbles like a house of cards

Hello Darth,



There are plenty of wild chickens.

.....they call them free-range and charge extra for their meat......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

I was happy prior to this thread being initiated, and continue to be happy. I love my life. Life is good!

as they say, ignorance is bliss.....

This is most amusing.

In this thread we have one conservative arguing that science supports the conservative position, and in another thread we have a conservative arguing that the science which supports the liberal position on climate change is meaningless.

Priceless!

Science only attempts to explain the natural world. The best scientific explanation is that chickens begin to exist at the moment of conception.

It’s not a political position.

Odd that I cannot see the chicken at the moment of conception.

The definition of life, or when life begins are metaphysical questions, not a scientific questions.

You are an idiot and that is a scientific definition. Life and death are both scientific in definition.

Its an hatched chicken that is being abused.

It isn't odd at all . Only chicken perverts think its odd.

Chickens have existed long before any current chicken becomes a unique individual.

Life is a continuum.

You are an idiot and that is a scientific definition. Life and death are both scientific in definition.

There are multiple definitions of life, and you could spend hours googling any number of them.

The fact that two centuries after the onset of molecular biology there still is not a universal scientific consensus, tenet, or law on a precise definition of life highlights that it is a metaphysical question.

There is no empirical reality behind our numerous definitions of life. It is all based on subjective metaphysics.

The apple tree ‘poofed’ and there it was lol.

Now everyone knows why I think you flunked Biology 101.

 

[PoliTalker]

What came first?

Was it the chicken?

Or was it climate change deniers.

But we are discussing when a specific organism begins to exist.

 

[NiftyNiblick]

At this point in the thread we really need a survey.

Who still gives a fat flying fuck whether or not an egg is a chicken?

Curious minds want to know.

 

[AProudLefty]

But we are discussing when a specific organism begins to exist.

What you are not understanding is that we know what you are talking about.

You might have a point if we're discussing the morphology in the biological and philosophical sense. I cannot recall a specific term for it but in the world of idealism, the forms are already there.
