The CHICKEN came first! No, the EGG came first!

Bumblebee closeup - Closeup shot of a bumblebee at it hovered around our back porch, checking out where to build its next, I suspect.

Yeh....well spoken! So, what DID come 2nd? In my opinion, the EGG came 2nd, because it needed the CHICKEN to develop and lay it. Others will say the CHICKEN needed the EGG to develop FROM. Thanks for the post.

Aha....good point, but I think maybe you missed MY point. The old saying goes: "Which came first...the chicken or the egg", and it's a saying that seems to embody the ongoing debate about the theories of 'evolution' and 'Creationism'. Theory of evolution might say that the egg came first, from a species which had been slowly adapting itself to become what finally came out as a chicken. Theory of Creationism might say that the chicken came first, from the command of the Creator. Thanks for the post.

I believe the egg came first. The reason for this is that if it didn't then the chicken would have been a mutation of something that was born through other methods. However, the chicken was more likely a mutation of another bird which would have laid that egg.

The chicken came first! God created all the animals and birds after their kind and Adam named them all. I'm sure Adam never looked at eggs and wondered to himself, "well this is probably going to be a chicken or is it a crocodile, hmmm???" The chicken (or whatever animals that lay eggs) was made in the beginning and so it must have been first. Now if you believe in evolution, I really wouldnt know what to tell you.

I'm vegetarian, I'd choose fruits, vegetables, cheese and bread. So I could choose apples, tomatoes, Brana padano and bread. Oh. but what a sad discussion.... how could I choose only one fruit and only one vegetable.
