Also the light from the furthest stars wouldn't have reached us and by the time they do the stars we see now will have all died by then, and their light will have gone and passed us.

Light isn't instantanious.

you got the question a bit wrong, it doesn't ask if life came before eggs:<!--QuoteBegin-Titan@Mar 12 2006, 02:06 PM

And that I already stated, too.

And as I also said, I can say nothing against it, this is a philosophical discussion, not a scientific one.

Of course it was the chicken, the first chicken that layed an actual egg, before that they might have layed something that's almost an egg...

Oh sorry, I don't read everything.

Tulac, it could be that a creature very similar to a chicken, but not a chicken, layed an egg, and a mutation of that creature, which would be what we refer to as a chicken, hatched from that egg. I hopethis hasn't been stated before.

[Tulac]

It could be that a chicken didn't layed an egg first, but then a chicken that hasn't been layed from an egg has layed the first egg :crazy:

[a1s]

did anyone read my take on this problem?

allso, here is some *relevant* material.

[Himmler]

hey...dinosaurs layed eggs first...

[SirPeter]

Then the aliens came and alterd the DNA of the dinosaur egg into a chicken egg. This hasn't been proven yet though.

1. What is the meaning of the life?

Life in itself has no meaning. The life of a human or a life of a fly are both lives and neither has greater segnificanse. But because the human is a homo sapiens sapiens - a creature able to think about one's thoughts (abstract thinking) humans can give some goals to their existence. The fulfilment of those goals can be interpreted as a meaning.

For me personally it is a clear conscience, so if someone would tell me I have to die in 12 hours I could say - no problem, I'm ready. I lived my life to its fulles and I've no guilty conscience.

2. Can we choose the life were living?

Depends what you mean. A child can not choose the parents and a child until a certian age is reached can not choose the surroundings it lives in. And because the outside impulses determen how you'll understand the world around you and are an importaint part in making your personality - you can't really choose the life you live, but you can choose to change your lifestyle and try to become a different person if you think the person you are is not who you should be. Maybe you won't succeed, but it's the efford that counts.

If an not bright person is at least trying to learn and understand (instead of just giving up) that's worth much more then if a bright person understands something in an instant (it's just like with the paraolympics - I'm no athlete, but could probably be better then a handicaped person in a sports event - but the handicaped's person efford would be much greater therefore his performance is much more admirable).

3. How/why does fate/karma/whatever control our live?

I call it random events. There is no logic or will behind the events that affect your life. They simply happen - randomly. There is no being behind it trying to help you, or hurt you, or make you learn a lesson... Things happen and it depends on your personality how you'll see them. If a bad thing happens some would say they are punished, other's will give up, some will see it as a challenge/temptation to overcome - some won't even notice it and will simply go over or around it. It's such events that can shape your life, but as I said - they're completely random.

Everyone can be lucky or misfortunate on a given day and if you're unlucky on a very importaint day it can screw up your whole life (if you can't get over it).

4. Is there such thing as "free lunch"?

No! Everything you eat used to be alive and is not anymore (from the seeds to animals - weather you're a vegetarian or not). For everything you eat you need to take some lifeforce from another living being - so everything you eat has a price - it just may not be payed for in money.

5. How big is the universe?

Huge! More then one can imagine. If you really try to imagine how big it is, think about the biggest thing your mind can still cope with from your personal experiance (like standing next to an ocean liner). Then when you realize how puny you are in comparison, imagine something very tiny - like an ant and imagine how puny it would be compared to the oceanliner. Then imagine that you're the ant and the oceanlier is a grain of sand in Sahara. Sahara would still be only a fracture of the universe we know.

6. Is there a live after dead?

Yes, it's the people who burry the dead and moarn for them.

7. Something else.
