Which came first? the chicken or the egg?[views:2821][posts:25]______________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 1:49am - the_reverend ""] I just remember this old paradox... it's stupid. the answer (unless you are a fucking moron) is the egg. |

| __________________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 8:57am - Jesus H. Christ ""] Only I know the true answer. It is indeed the chicken. Who the fuck keeps the single egg warm so it can hatch, then feeds it? Fucktard. Oh, and God Bless. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 9:02am - the_reverend ""] a semi-chicken would. jesus h christ, it's called evolution. |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 10:35am - Y_Ddraig_Goch ""] it is neither it would be something very like a chicken, and over millions of years of breeding the thing in the egg would resemble a chicken more and more, so neither really. |
| ___________________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 10:37am - Jesus H. Christ ""] Hey, my Dad made the chicken. Fuck you both. |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 12:36pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] Jesus sits on the egg to keep it warm; therefore, egg. |

| ___________________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 4:11pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] eggs are chickens. |

| __________________________________ [Mar 5,2008 3:51pm - PiresNLI ""] Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Modern science has an answer. According to evolutionary geneticist John Brookfield, cosmologist Stephen Hawking, and even modern thinker Chris Langdon, the egg came first. Why? DNA. DNA remains unchanged throughout the life of an organism. Thus, whatever the genetic material is inside the egg will be the same as the that which is inside the grown adult. In other words, conceived as a chicken, hatched as a chicken, live and die as a chicken -- there is no other way. A soaring eagle won't suddenly plummet to earth because it spontaneously turned into a turkey. Whatever genetic change there was between chicken-like parents and the first true chicken inside the egg must have occurred in the reproductive DNA, sealing the deal: the egg came first. |

I don't have an answer and have been confused by this question for a while. this puts an interesting spin on my wednesday afternoon. thank you. |
