A paradox for all evolutionist !!

I am quite hesitant to answer this question given the apparent agenda of the asker, but on the off chance it was posed in good faith:
The most popular theories of abiogenesis (the emergence of life from non-biological chemical systems) generally invoke ribozyme-like molecules as key to the process. These are nucleic acids, similar to RNA, which have catalytic abilities much like protein-based enzymes.
Scientific opinion regarding the origin of life on Earth is very much in flux; this is a strength, not a weakness, of the scientific method. In 10 years, or 100, "evolutionists" will have the answer to a high degree of certainty (though never 100%!), while so-called "creation-science" will remained mired in its pattern of obfuscation and ignorance.

First - creatures before birds had DNA and protein. Even dinosaurs. All life on this planet depends on DNA, and no exceptions to that rule have EVER been found.
As to your 2nd sentence - it's not a paradox at all, if you actually understand what evolution entails.
Evolution means a gradual change over time. It means that one species can change and develop into something new. So in the case of a chicken, there was some animal before it that was like a chicken, but not quite. At some point, it laid a mutated egg, that hatched out a chicken. So the egg came first.
That's really oversimplified, but it's got enough information for even the intelligent design crowd and creationists to understand the concept, even if they won't believe it.

First to layout a fowl a plan is needed. The plan could require to set a software how the fowl is to function and reproduce. although ,to confirm that a fowl to reproduce 2 mechanisms could be set. the 1st is to Create a fowl and out of the fowl a hen could be created. The fowl could have a sperm with an apropriate Dna. The hen could produce an egg with the apropriate Dna. The fowl could fertilize the egg. Out of the firtilized egg after incubation by potential of the mummy a clean chick could come to lifestyles. Its a reasonably easy mechanism. I dont fairly Understancd what's so complicated to be certain how Eggs are born.

The egg!
Not sure how you wanted that answer linked with something about protein and DNA though.

This is an issue in abiogenesis, not evolution. Get your fields straight.
I refer you to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis

RNA, it can be an enzyme and store information.
