Jesus Christ guys.
I'm not saying anything, I'm proposing the question.
And I never said it was shaped out of a rock.

The idea is to apply this question to stuff like God.
And stuff.

And that's what I was saying, Tal. I was trying to say that you can't let other people tell you what it is. You must see it for yourself and investigate. You reported that it had the properties of a couch, but called it a rock. We have to look at the properties of "God. And stuff," and not just let someone else tell us this is God or stuff.

Chucklee, ftdw!!!!

It is both. Who is to say that a rock cannot also be a sofa? Or a sofa cannot be a rock?

Lets say you have a rock. The rock looks like a sofa, feels like a sofa, supports you like a sofa, smells like a sofa, tastes like a sofa, sounds like a sofa and bounces like a sofa.

What is it, a Sofa, or a Rock?

Um...

I didn't say it was shaped like a sofa.

Is that possible? :blink:

Gentle eyes that see so much,
Paws that have a quiet touch,
Purrs to signal "all is well,"
And show more love than words could tell,
Fur so smooth and soft like silk,
Contently kneading mother's milk,
Graceful movements stroked with pride,
A peaceful presence by our side,
A friendship that takes time to grow,
No wonder why we love them so.

But it serves all the purposes of a sofa, even looks n' feels like a sofa.
It's a rock, but nobody knows that.

Now, if this was a comparison of say, rock that looks like wood, feels like wood, acts like wood, etc, etc, I would be more inclined to say that it's still a rock (seeing as wood grows from trees... or something like that). However, an actual determination of how a sofa is made is different than wood.

An object that acts like a sofa, no matter what it actually is (or is made out of) is still considered a sofa. I view a sofa being defined by what it's used for, instead of what it's made out of.

It's a sofa. That's like saying "Is a sofa made from felt, nylon and cotton wool a sofa or just felt, nylon and cotton wool". I guess it could be called a rock, but if a material has a higher use that extens further than it's name, it is generally referred to by the object name.

Wikipedia Entry On Maury
 
After the video, with the female often further enraged or upset, the male will walk onto the set; he will usually be booed loudly by the audience. The male will typically react in a "you-don't-know-me" mannerism, showing confidence that he is not the father. A picture of the baby juxtaposed with a picture of the male will appear on a video screen, to which the female will usually say how she thinks they look similar, and the male will say how they do not look alike at all. One common occurrence is that each person will claim that he or she is beyond 100% (often 200% or 1,000%) sure that the man is/is not the father, with figures sometimes reaching as high as 1,000,000% (the highest this has it gone is "infinity-plus 1 percent", in the show aired on November 20, 2007 when a participant named Natasha (surname unknown) claimed to be "infinity-plus 1" percent sure that a man was the father of her child (The DNA test then proceeded to prove her wrong) [3]).

Yeah it's just a rock that supports like a sofa, basically. So it's a rock.

It does support you like a sofa, but there's more similarities than that.

That's very true.

But if you went all your life sitting on it and thinknig it was a sofa, and then someone proved to you it was a rock, and you looked at ti again, what would you think of it as?
The other way around?
