Egg or Hen?

I was watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S; and this conversation struck to me, which is from “The One Where Heckles Dies (203)”:

PHOEBE: That's fine. Go ahead and scoff. You know, there're a lot of things that I don't believe in, but that doesn't mean they're not true.
JOEY: Such as?

PHOEBE: Like crop circles, or the Bermuda triangle, or evolution?

ROSS: Whoa, whoa, whoa. What, you don't, uh, you don't believe in evolution?

PHOEBE: Nah. Not really.

ROSS: You don't believe in evolution?

PHOEBE: I don't know, it's just, you know...monkeys, Darwin, you know, it's a, it's a nice story, I just think it's a little too easy.

ROSS: Too easy? Too...The process of every living thing on this planet evolving over millions of years from single-celled organisms, too easy?

PHOEBE: Yeah, I just don't buy it.

ROSS: Uh, excuse me. Evolution is not for you to buy, Phoebe. Evolution is scientific fact, like, like, like the air we breathe, like gravity.

PHOEBE: Ok, don't get me started on gravity.

ROSS: You uh, you don't believe in gravity?

PHOEBE: Well, it's not so much that you know, like I don't believe in it, you know, it's just...I don't know, lately I get the feeling that I'm not so much being pulled down as I am being pushed.



As far as I know there is “Theorem” and there is “Theory”, there is Math and there is Science.

Theory is what happens repeatedly in the same fashion over and over again, like apple falling on Newton’s head (theory of Gravitation), then Theory of Relativity, Theory of Constraints.

Def: A theory, in the scientific sense of the word, is an analytic structure designed to explain a set of empirical observations. A scientific theory does two things:
1. it identifies this set of distinct observations as a class of phenomena, and
2. makes assertions about the underlying reality that brings about or affects this class.


My point is, theories aren’t mathematically proved, but Theorems are, to name Pythagoras theorem, Binomial theorem or so.

Just thinking about what Phoebe said, I was wondering is there a slight “possibility” that the “theory” of evolution is not true and why we are in this world is justified by some other reason or logic.

There are so many questions bubbling up like:
• Did Adam and Eve really exist? And so do we? Now where did they come from? Someone dropped them from up above?
• If I think that God has created us, then how was God created?
• Worms and insects take birth in the environment adaptable to them, some in puddle and some in deserts, when the climatic conditions are sustainable. So was it the same for us?

Now this is not just applicable to human-beings but to other animals as well.
If we turned from an Ape to a human, why was it just Ape and not a Tiger?

As this question always remains unanswered: Eggs came first or the hen?

I feel everyone (who can imagine a little) will have at least one theory of his own, on how we evolved..Do you? :)

Finally My 25th Post..!

This being my 25th Post, I wanted to write something cool, but my mind was over-occupied. May be ‘coz of a lot of things happening and a lot of thinking going on, writing something was what I missed a lot..!

And (now I’m playing the blame-game ;) ) Facebook updates, then Twitter and now Google-Buzz, posting everywhere (though very precise) made slash down my blogs (just like the tax rates being slashed in this Budget..!)

When you have a lot to think about,
Words fly away, mind left blank aloud..!

All you need is a banging break,
To beat that blank hell out..!

PS: To those who care to read, I’ll try to be more regular. :)
