Aristotle intoned All knowledge comes from (firsthand)
experience
the story of life is empirical systematic
reality is described as perceived by the
senses
1668
Italian physician and scientist Francesco Redi
of Pisa experimenting with flies determined Omne vivum ex ovo
All
life stems from the egg
which should have put to rest the
question
Which came first The chicken or
the egg
The Egg
Excuse me, but a chicken must lay
the egg.
Yes After it hatched
a solemn invocation a reading from The Book of Eels
Praise Look into the eyes of an eel
Praise
be
Come unto me Slither unto me Slither fast on your slimy belly unto me
beget
The European eel The Sargasso Sea
larvae found but never an egg or eels
spawning
