Which comes first - the chicken or the egg?
I love this question because it solely depends on whether you are a
believer in ID or evolution. Those followers if Intelligent Design
would say that YHWH made the chicken without other means of
intervention. Whereas, the evolutionist would know that the first
chicken was made in the egg of the proto-chicken with the genetic
deviation which hatched the chicken.
Me? I let the chick come first.

As a side note, in either case, evolution or creation, the chicken
must precede the first *chicken* egg, that being defined as an egg
laid by a chicken. By evolution, the first chick that hatches does
so from an egg not lain by a chicken, and thus not a chicken egg. The
chicken comes before the chicken egg, but not before the egg from
which it hatches. Perhaps more definition is needed to solve the
problem. 8^)
