What came first? the egg or the chicken?

Question

I believe in evolution mostly, but there is the strong urge to believe in a higher power. I think that this is from being told that there is a god. what is your opinion??

Answer 1

the egg had to come first .
a derivative of the mating of winged species resulting in the evolution of the chicken, which as said has to start as an egg.

Answer 2

The Bible says the chicken came first.

Gen 1
20And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

21And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

22And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

23And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

24And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

25And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

If you would really like to have some indication of why evolution (not to be confused with adaptation) is not a viable theory check out the research on irreducibly complex systems...also molecular machines. Intelligent design makes alot more sense when you have the facts about anyone species that utilizes the environment in order to survive while also providing stimulous to the environment...

Fer instance...

Water lillies...

First they grow from thick black mud at the bottom of a pond or other stagnant body of water...since they require sunlight they can grow up to 30 feet toward the surface...yet no matter how deep or shallow they stop growing once they reach the top. Once there they begin to bud and grow these large leaves...but the leaves don't float...nothing of the plant floats. Instead the edges of the leaves curl at the brims to make a platform..which has little crevaces to drain off rain water rather than flooding the pads so they sink below surface. Now in order to germinate they have to depend on a symbiotic little bug, the water beetle...they are attracted to the white flower produced by the lillies...beetles ignore all other flowers except these white ones. Once the beetle enters the flower it closes around it for once night, forcing the beetle to become exposed to the pollen. Once that's done the flower opens up the next morning and allows the beetle to escape...and then it turns pink to keep the beetle from coming back. Cool huh? Yeah...beautiful flowers and so unique...God thought of that. Check out some details online about these other creatures and see what you think.


The "Simple" Cell (ain't nuthin' simple about it), the eye, the Bombardier Beetle, Cuckoo Birds, Beavers, Honeybees, Monarch Butterflies, Pepsis Wasps, Penguins, Rattlesnakes, Bats, Dolphins, Geckos

Okay..I gotta tell you about Geckos...really quick then I'll leave ya alone...dig this. Geckos have this uncanny knack of being about to climb and crawl up and along smooth surfaced walls and even upside down on ceilings. It baffled scientists for years until a much more powerful microscope could detect that the lizard doesn't use suction or glue but has millions of tiny microscopic hairs that are so small they can directly attach themselves to molecules forming on the surface...even on glass. The force that the Gecko uses to adhere to surfaces is called the Van der Waals force - the hairs split and allow a billion tiny spatulae to grab onto atoms creating a strond adhesive bond. This power is so strong that the Gecko can suspend its entire body weight from the surface from a single toe...one single seta has the strength to support an ant...it is estimated that one million gecko setae, which would cover the surface of a dime, could support the wieght of a 45 pound child. If it were possible to engage all of the setae at one time...the adhesion could support the weight of a 280 pound man. The most miraculous detail to this whole thing is that science cannot figure out how the Gecko is able to control the setae to cling and uncling as it walks across a surface. They are "hairs"...with no nerve endings or moving parts.


Okay...sorry. Got caught up in the facination of it all...I'll leave you alone with your thoughts now. You take care and God bless you. Love in Christ, ~J~

Answer 3

The Chicken

Answer 4

ppl evryone of faith know that a chicken come from a egg but first He The Lord God Made The Chicken Perfect For Us To Use.

Answer 5

At least you claim evolution is a belief. That's about the most honest anyone has spoken about it in a while on this site.

Evolution= Cosmic nothing=Time, space, matter, energy(miracle)universe by fusion(but can't account for the lighter elements of the periodic table)(miracle)=inanimate matter becomes animate(miracle)=inanimate matter(with mystical mind features) decides to form into a living organism with a will to survive it's short generation life to figure out a way to reproduce and make some progeny(miracle especially since this is biochemically impossible in nature)=a bunch of motivated progeny(miraculously) to procreate and form complex organ systems= complex organ systems (using their mystical mind features) to work symbiotically with other complex organ systems= complex organisms(miracle) etc. etc.
I believe God created us as we are.(Miracle)

Answer 6

The Chicken.

Answer 7

You've spent... what... let's say 20 years being repeatedly told there is a god? Let's balance it with 20 years of being told there aren't any.

Or just read these books (or some of them) to counter the effect of indoctrination:

god: the failed hypothesis
the god delusion
letter to a christian nation
god is not great
the atheist universe

Answer 8

God came before the egg or the chicken, but it would seem logical he created the chicken first. God created man and woman, before Cain and Abel.

Answer 9

The Chicken. because you can't have something from nothing Something is created first, then that "thing" (in this case a chicken) can spawn something else ---the egg.

*Edit --eg. Which came first -You or Your Parents?

Answer 10

Just like Adam, the chicken came first.
