Natewlie · #25You have to consider the context that the saying has been put in. Which is exactly as it is at face value, "What came first? The chicken or the egg?".There's no other meaning, there's no hidden message, it's not supposed to be dwevelled into with the scientific method, and it's not supposed to be analyzed. It's reason for existence is to create a situation that is impossible to answer. Also notice how there's no other choice given besides, chicken, or egg.
Brilliant. As for what you have to say though Natewlie, it is definitely true that this question wasn't created to analyze, but is it not only human to be curious of what seems impossible to answer? DO THE IMPOSSIBLE SEE THE INVISIBLE; ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH!
Debate (n.) - a discussion, as of a public question in an assembly, involving opposing viewpointsUsually between these two viewpoints, there is no clear "answer"; like "Is abortion humane?", "Gay marriage?", etc. Also, you answered the wrong question. The question is "Which came first? The Chicken or The Egg?", and frankly, "There's no meaning." is NOT a operable answer in this case. I think it's a serious question, though. It wasn't made by your science teacher to trip you up or anything, this is a serious question; there is no such thing as a stupid question. It's reason for existence is because people want to know. Human curiosity has brought us far; we've derived countless formulas, created plane wings that structurally resemble an emulate the wings of birds, made it into the dark abyss of space, and not to mention inventing the iPhone.
Natewlie · #25Also, penis.
Can't argue with that; I really felt the emotion you wove together into the silken fabric of that sentence... or... fragment...
Getting back to the topic at hand, I believe that the egg came first. In ordinance with evolution, this would simply have to be the case. The chicken couldn't have just popped out of nowhere and decided it would be hilarious to crap out eggs and create a one of those picture in a picture paradoxes with eggs. It had to develop and evolve, and where else do organisms develop and mutate in besides eggs? It's kind of like birth defects that are spread like heck. Seriously, even human females have sex cells called "eggs", so even if you say that laying eggs was an adaption, when the origin bacteria of the pre-chicken organisms began in the primordial soup, it evolved into
"egg" cells.
EGG cells, bub. And when the first feathered-creature to be classified as chicken first developed, you'll never guess what kind of cell they were. Evolution takes awhile, it doesn't happen within a lifetime of a chicken.
From a religious point of view, God created the chicken to lay the egg, but we are faced with the same dilemma. Did God just decide that it would be hilarious for chickens to crap out eggs that turned into them? What about disease, Miley Cyrus, and Justin Bieber? Pfft.
Also, Wang.

It would appear that damanali was able to post before I finished typing.
damanali is asking for the two parents are. I think he's talking about something inter-species-ish stuff. Eww. I think there are videos of people doing that with horses or something; where are our Minotaurs and Centaurs? Obviously, it was a mutation or a defect, which was beneficial for survival, so it was passed down; a perfect example of survival of the fittest.
While I'm at it, Schlong.
