If it takes 2 hens 2 days to lay 2 eggs, then how many days does it take 50 hens to lay 50 eggs? 2.
If it takes 2 hens 2 days to lay 2 eggs, how many days does it take 50 hens to lay 50 eggs? Well, let's see. Let's call the first hen (out of two) to be A and the second to be B. A takes two days to lay 1 egg. B takes two days to lay 1 egg. If we continued this 25 times, we would establish that 50 hens lay 50 eggs in 2 days....
Global Warming is a phenomenon that is happenening right now.

We will eventually see the rise of artificial intelligence, and even artificial consciousness.
The possibility of artificial intelligence is intriguing at least in part due to the fact that we have so poor a grasp on the question of intelligence and "thinking" in general. What does it mean, really, to be "intelligent?" What is really going on when someone is "thinking?" While all of us might have some opinions on these questions, it's very difficult to see how anyone could actually claim to know the answers beyond any reasonable doubt. If we truly did understand "thinking," for example, o...
The value 1.999999... is equal to 2.
This is in response to the numerous 1 = 2 posts with the mathematical error. ****************************************** Let A = 1.99999999... repeating. 10 * A = 19.999999... repeating. Subtract A from each side... 10A - A = 18.0 9A = 18.0 Divide by 9. A = 2 Substitute. 1.9999999... repeating = 2....
Collidal Silver- science based debate on its effectiveness and the lying propaganda aginst it
Hello out there debate.org members Do you have ANY background in hard science, logic and Chemistry? Do you want to have a real debate on the subject of colloidal silver and its effectiveness as a patheogen destructor and health aid? I didnt mean to be a snob before, I was hoping for a minimum BS candidate to debate, but none came - so if you want to take it up, I will be happy to debate you there obviously isnt any scientists here on debate.org yet , so I will be happy to take...
Does Bigfoot/Sasquatch exist or is the phenomena a complete hoax?
I believe such a creature exists. I do not know for 100% certainty that it does, but I have researched the subject extensively and found that we cannot rule out the animal's existence. It seems that the existing evidence, as theorhetical as it may be, sides with the belief that there is another form of ape on the planet which is manlike in both appearence and its' ability to walk on two feet (bipedalism). I know this is an unprovable argument, as we do not know either way for sure if Bigfoot exi...
The validity of the Miller-Urey Theory
Reading the debate Giuocob was involved in titled "Evolution is fact," I noticed that he cited the Miller-Urey experiment and referred to it as proven fact. Actually, Miller used the wrong atmosphere model. The atmosphere model modern evolutionists say was around at the time of the development of the first cell was actually a mixture of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water, methane, and sulfur dioxide. The current Biology textbooks (Mcgraw-Hill's "Life", or the same company's "Biology, 8th Ed") s...

NASA Funding is Reasonable
17.3 billion dollars?!? Are we really going to settle and sustain life on the moon? After doing some research, I found that if we took that 17.3 billion dollars and used it for food, we could feed all the suffering people in the U.S for 52 days. Just imagine that. We obviously need to cut back on this funding. I know it is short, but I think I get right to the point....
