which came first: chicken or egg?
You might say chicken. Because the Bible says that God created animals, so chicken came first - nice answer though, while the other group says its an egg because dinosaurs laid eggs millions of years before chickens existed, so the egg came first! After hearing their sides where should you go? Baffled? You need to!
Talking about the side of the egg group,
The CNN News has revealed this; If the egg came first, wasn't it laid by a chicken? NO! Genetic material does not alter during an animal's life. It does however change in the egg. "Therefore the first bird that evolved into what we would call a chicken, probably in prehistoric times, must have first existed as an embryo inside an egg." (CNN) Professor John Brookfield said, "Therefore, the first living thing which we could say unequivocally was a member of the species would be this first egg," he added. "So, I would conclude that the egg came first." Two none-chickens mated, they may have been the same species of another bird, but some mutation happens. It mutates in the cells that created the egg. Thus, the egg hatches the first chicken. Perhaps some of you are now thinking, well yeah with this technicality sure the egg came first, but you might forget the initial question, "What came first: the chicken or the egg." Maybe if you first come to understand the true question here you will find the true answer. Perhaps if you asked the question with a slight phrase change, "What came first, the chicken, or its eggs?" Oh... there you go. If a chicken hatches from an egg, and it so happens it was the first chicken because in the egg it mutated, then that proves the egg came first.
From the red corner, we have the chicken side.
Yes, we as the God and Bible believers know that the chicken came first, God created it on the fifth day along with every other fowl which you can read in the first chapter in Genesis.
Another thing from the chicken side is the Thai alphabet. "ก or "gaw" is represented by a picture of a chicken. The second letter of the Thai alphabet is ข or "kaw" and is represented by the picture of an egg." (From Wikipedia *thanks!!*) This author goes on to consider the notion of syntax. In the sentence the word chicken is in front of the word egg. So to be fair while editing my creation, I have moved "The egg came first" portion on top of "The chicken came first" portion because the question has such advantages. Then the syntax argument is null-and-void due to the structure component.
Me? You asking me? Hmm, this is my answer:
For me, by logical reasoning, if egg exists, then a chicken must go over it, and vice versa. Therefore, the answer is: Both exist, at the same time; or neither exists, at the same time. This paradox also applies to numerous situations in life, such as government & citizen, police & criminal, teacher & student, extraordinary & ordinary etc. The implication is the two components are equal, & co-exist / co-extinct.
About the Author: To work as a model was her dream. But with wide hips in her mother's bloodline that seems too far away (as of now) because she landed as an assistant photo editor in a small yet photo agency that takes pictures of all sports games across the state. The closest that she was to a model was when their on-the-field photographers submit pictures of models who were watching the games and juts her journeys in her lifestyle blog.
