Death...

[Cricketdude]

But is birth a certainty? No, because it doesn't HAVE to happen

But to have death you have to have birth.

You are struggling to understand a quite simple concept. You say the only certainty in life is death. But to have life you have to be born.

And there is something before birth too. Not classing sperm and eggs as life, but there is something before birth (about 9 months of growing too).

Simon is right though, birth isn't a certainty, in fact given just how many sperm are produced, birth is a rarity, isn't it? (I'm trying not to go into gory details guys)

Well if we're going by your [questionable]logic, death isn't a certainty either.

 

[AbBh]

Nothing is certain in life except change.

Unless you have a note.

Well any kind of 'life' will die (even single celled organisms), so death is certain.

But to have 'life' you have to be born. Otherwise there is no life. So in life birth is a certainty. God we're going round in circles here.

 

[Animator!]

Birth is an action that trigger what can be deemed as 'life' which inevitably is a march towards death with reproduction in the middle, in its most simple animal terms.

It's only the human pysche and human curiosity that has drivne a debate like this.

I agree, you have to be born to have 'life'. But a type of 'life' creates your 'life'. Almost all sperm will die before the strongest sperm reaches the egg.

Edit: A circle has no beginning or end....

life is more then a circle.

Now don't even get me started on that....

Unless you are talking about its creation, in which the point in which you start is the beginning and the end is a point infinitely close to that.

 

[Highlander999]

Considering we're getting philisophical.

How did the universe begin?

 

[manee]

The Universe, as we know it, began with the Big Bang. Who or what triggered such an event is unknown though. As for the Universe as the concept of existance (and nothing more) - we will never know.
