New or Grew?

How old is the canoe?

A day old.

Equivocation fallacies do not win arguments.

 

[Kylie]

How old is the canoe?

My mother gave birth to me in April of 1980.

How old am I?

 

[AV1611VET]

My mother gave birth to me in April of 1980.

How old am I?

You will have grown to be 41 in April.

 

[Kylie]

You will have grown to be 41 in April.

So the atoms that make up my body have only existed for 41 years? Did they not exist before then?

 

[AV1611VET]

So the atoms that make up my body have only existed for 41 years?

Negative.

Did they not exist before then?

Yes -- since 4004 BC.

 

[Kylie]

Negative.
Yes -- since 4004 BC.

Then I am 6045 years old, correct?

 

[AV1611VET]

Then I am 6045 years old, correct?

Your atoms are.

Have you seen my canoe challenge thread?

 

[lesliedellow]

Your atoms are.

But she isn’t, and the canoe isn’t a thousand years old.

 

[AV1611VET]

But she isn’t, and the canoe isn’t a thousand years old.

That is correct.

As I said, she will be 41 years old in April.

The canoe, in my opinion, is brand new.

It has zero miles on it, never been in the water, and thus has maturity without a history.

 

[Bungle_Bear]

That is correct.

The canoe has no maturity. It is only a day old.

Most of your body is <7 years old. Are you that immature?

 

[AV1611VET]

The canoe has no maturity.

Yes, it does.

Maturity is defined as the ability to do what it is designed to do.

It is only a day old.

That is correct.

Most of your body is <7 years old.

Because of cells grandfathering?

 

[Bungle_Bear]

Maturity is defined as the ability to do what it is designed to do.

Citation?

 

[lesliedellow]

That is correct.

Sorry, but brand new is brand new. The age of the wood it is made of is 100% irrelevant. In any case, the wood in the outer rings of the tree will be younger than the wood on the inner rings of the tree.

 

[Kylie]

Your atoms are.

Have you seen my canoe challenge thread?

Yes. And your answer here is in conflict with your claims in that thread. You said I am 41 years old this year, when to be consistent with what you say in the other thread you should say I am 6045.

 

[AV1611VET]

Yes. And your answer here is in conflict with your claims in that thread. You said I am 41 years old this year, when to be consistent with what you say in the other thread you should say I am 6045.

What other thread?

This one?

Physically, the canoe is 1000 years old; existentially, the canoe is ... now.

No conflict.

 

[Kylie]

What other thread?

This one?No conflict.

And by the same logic, you should say that, physically, I am 6045 years old. And yet you didn't.
