Xathien 1255 posts 06-04-04 03:43 Reply	Chicken. How else would it hatch the egg?
Jeremiah Walgren 1187 posts 06-04-04 03:51 Reply	The chicken. That way, you could get more chickens faster. ^_^
Xathien 1255 posts 06-05-04 05:42 Reply	"And thus God did create the chicken, and it was good. Then did God say to the chicken, Go forth and be ridiculed as a stupid animal, but nevertheless be a puzzling question to all mankind." Book of Lost Scripture 2:8
Mark 276 posts 06-07-04 01:03 Reply	Following the theory of evolution, the egg definitely came before the chicken, unless God waved his hand and made a chicken appear or something. Little one-celled creatures were made first, they grew into more complex animals, eventually the first CHICKEN EGG was created by some strange creature that we couldn't call a chicken but would probably look very similar to one, and THEN the chicken was born.
Xathien 1255 posts 06-07-04 03:10 Reply	I was going to suggest that, Mark, but there were two things: 1) The preevolved form of the chicken I deemed close enough to be a chicken to be called the first chicken. Or something. 2) I got distracted while posting scripture. >_>
Michael Vincent 531 posts 06-07-04 03:42 Reply	Assuming evolution (a separate argument all its own), then you have to have a line where an animal is either a chicken or not. Would a chicken without feathers still be a chicken? What if it lived in the water? There's some arbitrary point where it's a chicken. Since the first creature to be called a chicken hatched from an egg, then that egg would be the first chicken. Thus, the egg came first.
Dexter345 677 posts 06-07-04 09:42 Reply	Mark, I think you showed something that I was trying to show. Most (not all, 'cause I see Michael Vincent says egg) religious people say the chicken came first and most Atheist/Agnostic people say the egg came first. And I think this may actually have a lot to do with the Creationism/Evolution idea that's ingrained in our heads. Following Creationism, it's clear that the chicken came first, and following Evolutionism (is that a word?), it's clear that the egg came first. But if you wanna hear the end-all reason that the egg came first, indisputably, here it is. Dinosaurs laid eggs. -Dexter345-
Xathien 1255 posts 06-08-04 05:31 Reply	And God might not have directly made the chikkin in The Beginning dun dun dun. Mark's theory is probably the closest to correct. Something probably had some mutagen affect its young and make TEH CHIKKIN. The end.

Fr0stbyte124 109 posts 09-03-04 01:45 Reply	The chicken came first. After all, it was the chicken that hatched the first dinosaurs.
Mark 276 posts 09-04-04 03:18 Reply	oh but of course... yeah... my theory obviously proven wrong... where'd you come from, anywho?
Fr0stbyte124 109 posts 09-04-04 03:23 Reply	Why, it was I who hatched that chicken...
Jeremiah Walgren 1187 posts 09-10-04 03:27 Reply	What? No sarcastic comment from Xathien? What's happening here...?
Xathien 1255 posts 09-10-04 03:55 Reply	<insert sarcastic comment here>
Jeremiah Walgren 1187 posts 09-11-04 00:00 Reply	And I thought he could do better...
Kaylee White 11 posts 09-12-04 03:55 Reply	So, are you guys really smart?
Jeremiah Walgren 1187 posts 09-12-04 05:52 Reply	I'm not, though I wish I was. Dexter345, Michael (site admin), and Xathien are the ones who are smart.
Kaylee White 11 posts 09-12-04 14:30 Reply	ohhh sure I bet you're really smart
Dexter345 677 posts 09-12-04 23:19 Reply	I'll take that bet.
Kaylee White 11 posts 09-12-04 23:40 Reply	I think Jeremiah is just being really modest

Spencer Wohlers 2 posts 04-14-05 05:01 Reply	actually, neither. it was the DNA sequence. following the MV idea, and using his args (because im too lazy to retype them), just that the DNA sequence was created before the egg, as chickens have sexual reproduction as opposed to asexual reproduction.
