Chicken or the egg? SOLVED!

[Keleynal]

This is easy forme. God created chickens, presumably full grown, and they promptly made eggs.

Chickens first all the way. In fact, adults before babies across the board.

So who laid God?

I think I start to understand Corvus' argument. Very nice. I agree.

It's no use! It's turtles all the way down!

Turtle eggs? Sounds like our cunning arguments have brought a other one into the fold!

I realize this quote is older than modern literature, but every time I see it I think of Terry Pratchett and the Discworld novels.

I first heard it as a punch line in a joke book. I don't know when it was published, probably 90s.

It has its own Wikipedia page.

Aha! It was a reprint of the joke from Stephen Hawking's book.

Oh man, that would suck not getting to be a kid (foal, puppy, kitten, etc.) and then watching your kids get a chance to play around and such.

Thank you

True, but they didn't know any better. Silly chickens.

False. Trick Question. This came first.

Tristan give up, even Wikipedia says it was the egg (in a literal manner)... A chicken has to come out of an egg.

I had a discussion with my best friend who's a girl today when walking with her home and she suddenly started about that, she was saying chicken too but soon she didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Then I remembered this and here I am lol

Glad you agree. CHICKEN POWER!

Ya know the more I think about this, the more I call bullshit on the egg before the chicken. The EGG has NOTHING to do with the damn chicken. No one asks what came first the placenta or the baby. They both happen together. So why the fuck is there an argument here?

The egg is one thing and the chicken is ANOTHER DAMMIT!

So we can all be first!
