Do you believe the chicken was first, or the egg. (science vs genesis)?

Answer 1

I'm with the "up from the slime" school of thought...

Answer 2

It is a known fact that shelled eggs evolved in reptiles long before chickens or other birds came into existence. Therefore eggs came first, by several million years. Which doesn't say anything about the fact that God created the universe from nothing, by an act of His divine will.

Answer 3

This same question applies to turtles, alligators, dinosaurs, fish, many types of snakes, birds and on and on. Hmmm....maybe the Noah story would have made more sense if they had written he had kept most of his passengers in egg form stored in an incubator. No? Oh well.

Answer 4

What came first, man & woman or babies? Based on Genesis, man and woman came first, not babies. There is no circular reference. An egg came from a chicken and a chicken came from God. A baby came from a man and a woman. A man and a woman came from God.

Answer 5

What is the absolute beginning of anything? There is no such thing... nothing has an absolute beggining nor an end. Everything arises due to other causes and conditions, are changing and impermanent, in which they become the causes and conditions for other things to arise, etc.
