Which came first? The Chicken or the Egg?

[SlaveOfTheBeast]

Ahh, the famous philosophical question, what is the purpose of life and how did it all began?

I’ll try to make my post as detailed as possible.

Feel free to read all of it if you want even though it might make your head hurt.

What are the origins of life? How did things go from non-living to living? From something that could not reproduce to something that could?

Well I don’t believe the world was created when God made two human beings (Adam and Eve)

However I do believe in the theory of evolution, it’s quite self explanatory. The birds that grew wings over time escaped death from predators thus the species with the wings survived. (Survival of the fittest).

If you didn’t know there has been several species of humans, however one of the species ‘Neanderthals’ died out during the ice ages while the other one ‘us’ survived. Well this means that this theory proves that the word started from bacterial or even smaller life forms which evolved through time.



Well I’m going to focus on the first question, how did life begin? The origin of life was a single event that occurred billions of years ago and remains our most asked question.
Life must have started in the simplest possible way, as a cycle, a natural chemical reaction that repeated itself, spinning off byproducts, and some stayed around to maintain and develop the cycle. I’m guessing the cycle started in some mineral surface such as iron pyrites, or fool's gold that is known to be a good catalyst.
Well how did this begin? I believe that the mysterious powerful forces that have existed before time was existed suddenly exploded creating the elements of the universe which automatically and unexplainably formed compounds and so on.


There are no limits in space, it continues on forever and ever, like the number.


Our purpose of life can be seen from various angles. I mean if you’re looking from a scientific point of view, humans are programmed to reproduce and to stay alive through time, thus our purpose of life is to never go instinct and to breed, our sex drives are driven to do so.

However if your looking from a moral point of view, our life is to accomplish tasks we set ourselves, and do something to contribute towards living in this world. Einstein is one example and many other inventors whom have improved our lives by inventions.


Well if you’re asking if the chicken or the egg came first, it is one question that has baffled scientists. I believe that in order for the chicken to come alive, there must be a egg. But what lays the egg? Eggs were long before when chickens arrived so that’s a simple answer that the previous life forms evolved into a chicken. But the question is how did the previous life form come into existence?

As I said before, cells created before time existed suddenly automatically distinctly started splitting, this later became a bigger cell, and into a egg, which was presumably in the ocean., which started evolving into the land animals and so on.

Sorry I couldn’t put anymore information, but I think that’s enough to settle my point.

You could have just said you were an atheist...

Interesting Thread.

The Chicken Did, though.

It is chicken because God created all animals ..

Unless you believe in anotha God then I got nuthin to say

The Something for all forum is for INTELLIGENT debating only, not ignorant debating.


I'd say it was the chicken.. as it was probably some formed by some process of evolution/single-celled organisms coming together to form a multi-celled organisim (chicken).

I would have to say the egg and here is why. In the first post it never said it had to be a chicken egg. So obviously a dinosaur egg would have come before the chicken. So therefore, the egg came first.
I went with a more clever answer.

 

WTF I made a topic exactly of this like a month ago and got infracted for spamming...Oh well.

Definately the egg.

 

[Trustworthybutnottrusted]

Dinosaurs laid eggs before chickens even EXISTED... of course the egg came first DUH

 

[Govind]

We're discussing chicken eggs.

 

[death.by.pie]

i think first came the chicken then the egg. Because god made them.

 

[Thebombdotorg]

GAH the SFA is turning into a spamfest...

whatever.

The chicken came first, Eggs need their parents to hatch.
I'm sure you know birds sit on their eggs, as chickens do, to keep them warm until they hatch...

An egg can't hatch without the chicken.

And to answer the chicken part. It's like humans, Where'd Man come from. God created it.. (if you want to take this religiously) It's like Which came first, the child or the mother.

 

[haggislite]

Theres your answer.

lol!!!

back to the question - the egg, as the thing that laid it was the 'almost chicken' that then made the egg which had the 'actually a chicken' in it. its a basic bit of evolutionary science.
