Age old riddle solved!
 

After millions of dollars spent and millions of hours of sleep lost, the riddle, Which came first, the chicken or the egg. Has been solved.

Scientists have determined that a cross fowl species fertilization created an egg, which when hatched, had properties of both species but looked very different. So different that they were very afraid to name the new species. They looked at each other and said, I don't know why we are so chicken to come up with a name. So they decided to name it their dilemma, chicken.

I guess thats a relief now for those still wondering.............:BigApplause:

Now just have to figure out what came first? The duck, the egg, or the platypus?:shocked:

The egg always comes first!

But. Who laid it?

A creature that was very like a chicken, but not quite a chicken (proto-chicken). At some point during conception or during the development of the embryo, something(s) altered the DNA and what hatched was what we now call a chicken. Altering genes = evolution. An oversimplification, but essentially, that is it in a nutshell.

Actually the dinosaur came before the chicken or the egg .

Before the chicken, yes. But "eggs" came before dinosaurs. Dinosaur egg is what the Dinosaur hatched from.
The first Dinosaur came out of an egg that was laid (or carried) by a creature that was not quite a Dinosaur. The egg had altered DNA/genes that gave rise to a new creature, different enough from it's parent to be classified as a new kind of creature. The first Dinosaur.

Seemed obvious to me the first time I heard the question

"""A creature that was very like a chicken, but not quite a chicken (proto-chicken)."""


So the egg still came second?

For those who have lost sleep over this, I pity you.
I think you have too much time on your hands.

Huh ?

Chicken or Egg Debate
 

For me, reading Genesis 1 answered the question. ;)

Seven day creation , no evolution ?

Why did the chicken cross the road? To show the opossum it could be done.

Thanks for the explanation. Now please help me with how seedless grapes are reproduced.

me too, close thread.

Cloning. Grafting. Seedless happened on accident, then we cloned the plant. Same goes for marijuana strains, seedless watermelons, etc.

Noah
 

So you really believe Noah had 2 of every single species in the world on the ark? common sense says no!

Dinosaurs are chickens….:read:

No. With out the egg there can be no chicken. However, a chicken hatched from an egg that was not from a chicken, but whose contents had been altered/mutated to create a chicken.

(Other way around.)

I dream of the day when a chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned.

Oh! Absolutely! Lions, Tigers, bears, kangaroos, whales, dolphins, walrus, seas lugs, coral polyps, seagulls, athletes foot fungus, pole dancers, but NO unicorns!

Ah! Utopia!

Actually, I wish he had kept the unicorns answer left the mosquitos off the ark.

By the way, if the ark eas a ship, did it have a name? Sailors alway name boats. 🤔

The Rooster :a040:

Well, that simplifies everything ... right?

And he thinks he's God's gift to hens.

A chicken and egg are lying in bed. The chicken is smoking a cigarette.
The egg says to herself, "I guess we answered that question."

In my simple minded way I can only see it as you believe in evolution or not , if the chicken did not come from an egg then where ? a chicken after all is just an eggs way of making another egg, the chicken is at best only the present , soon to be the past, the egg is always the future testing variation on it own pattern

I've never seen a chicken smoke a cigarette. I assume the symbolism is supposed to imply that the chicken "laid" the egg. Question! Are we to assume the "chicken" was actually a rooster? That would change one's interpretation of the term "laid". One must then assume a certain kinky fetish of this particular rooster that would consider, um, having, er, intimate relations with the most youthful members of his species.
One wonders if this "chicken", presumed " rooster" is of the Jeffrey Epstein breed? I believe I heard somewhere that "they like them on the young side".
How bizarre! 🤔

See what you make of this. Creation, by evolution?

All this talk of eggs and chickens is making me hungry. How about two eggs, over easy, side of chicken sausage, with sourdough toast and coffee?
Later, gators. 😋

I still cannot get how with natural selection you get anything out of nothing unless something creates it? And brings some kind of structure to it? DNA, for instance? A big bang and then, what? An egg? A cell? A chicken?

Is that the logic of if you have a watch you must have a watchmaker,, if so then who made the watchmaker?

A believer will find a way to believe , no matter, who was it said "puny man can not create a gnat but invents thousands of gods" (apologies for mis quoits )

Here we are, a tiny collection of elements with some remarkable (at least, to us) qualities. Adrift on a smallish planet, orbiting an unremarkable star at the far reaches of one arm of a, somewhat average, spiral galaxy. A galaxy with billions of stars. One galaxy among billions in one of possibly (probably) many more (infinite) universes.
If (IF God, or God's, exist that bother to care for or concern themselves with us, I doubt their size, strength or power to be the ultimate creator. More likely just another collection of elements with abilities different than our own. Or, maybe just a figment of our imagination and/ur desires.

Creature’s living in water need not to be on ark. Cause it was flood. :bowdown: Do to flood in that area, only air breathing creatures in that area need to be in the ark. :eclipsee_gold_cup:

My post was "tongue in cheek". Dolphins, whales, walrus and seagulls breath air. Seals, sealions, walrus rest on shore or floating objects. Sea birds of all kinds need shelter during storms. Sea life is suseptible to rapid temperature and salinity changes (climate change). Undoubtedly, 40 days and nights of storms severe enough to cover the earth would be deadly to all life forms right down to the bottom of the seas deepest areas. Sediment washed into the seas and dramatic increase in pressures 8n the deep sea, and decreas at new sea level above the highest mountains.
Soooo much fuss when God, who created the heaven and earth in only 7 days, could wipe humans out and (presumably) repopulate the world with a better, kinder mor loving human species.
