The chicken or the egg is a reference to the causality dilemma which arises from the expression "which came first, the chicken or the egg?". Since both the chicken and the egg create the other in certain circumstances (a chicken emerges from an egg; an egg is laid by a chicken) it is ambiguous which originally gave rise to the other. Purely logical attempts to resolve the dilemma result in an infinite regress, since an egg was caused by a chicken, which was caused by an egg, etc. Since every chicken originates from its egg, it seems obvious the egg came first. Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal's life. The solution may require an examination of syntax and may rely on verification from advances in modern genetic science. When used in reference to difficult problems of causality, the chicken and egg dilemma is often used to appeal to the futility of debate and lay it to rest.

Egg. All gods are shaped by the beliefs of sentient beings. If the universe has a single, over-riding, consciousness, then it is the entirity of the Universe and would be too big to notice it's parts. It's being could be the combination of it's parts, so the bodies that make up the universe contribute to it's being. As such It's being is seperated down into smaller and smaller parts. Galactic clusters, galaxies, arms, star clusters and gas clouds, star groups, individual stars and their orbiting bodies, the make-up and nature of those bodies and any being that may reside on those bodies in physcial form. How can we, as merely the product of our world's being, have anything close to the whole picture? Look at the being of animals. They have limitations to how their perceive reality. They lack what we call 'sentience'. How can we say that we too are not limited in what we can perceive in both the nature of reality and the nature of Being? A chicken cannot be formed fully mature from nothing. It would have to be an egg, which is close to the perfect form, the sphere.

The egg, because at some time in the past an animal that was almost-but-not-quite-a-chicken laid an egg that was genetically different from its parents and from that egg hatched a chicken. So, you can get a chicken egg from a pre-chicken but you can't get a non-chicken from a chicken egg. D'you see?
In reality it's a fairly meaningless question because, as Darwin clearly showed, the idea of species is a purely human notion, and living organisms aren't really neatly categorised like that. Read the Origin of Species for an insight into what I mean.
HTH... :-)

The actual ancient stories from Egypt and the Tribes of Israel etc, I have recently learned actually say that the One God of Eternity, separated itself from itself in order to create the masculine and feminine sides. However they warn not to confuse that the two are actually One! We exist within the two which are actually one, woof confusing, haha. Not really though. I know an incredible teacher if your interested in this kinda stuff. He doesn't even really teach, he just guides you along your own path a lot quicker than you could figure it out on your own. And yeah the egg came first. Inside the egg is the idea of the chicken, one could venture to say.

Chicken ......... where will the egg come from, if nobody lays it.
darwin was an idiot, he himself wasnt convince of his own theory, but due to him, many are misled.
One True GOD who is ALLAH, has the answer to all.
No, they are not interlocked, as darwin's ideology was something very different.
Peace to All.

The bible tells us that God created all of the land animals on the 6th day, so this means that he created a chicken not an egg.

They are not interlocked. God says, "I created this world", Darwin says, "The world created itself." Two very conflicting stories.
