Chicken or the Egg


What comes first, the chicken or the egg

Jhd-8:

This was one of the questions we finally solved in a University

Science class.

'Andy ATW ' gave you the answer to that puzzling question.

We finaly decided since all life emerged from the primordial

sea, the evolutionary logic dictates that reptiles produced

the first shell enclosed offspring or Egg, this process then led

to the first birds (chickens) being identified or credited with

laying the first Egg.

The question is thus answered and further argument is pointless.

Among many other reasons evolution is impossible.

Think about this. A leg evolving into a wing. What would it be for the million years it takes to evolve? It would be a very very bad leg, then a very very bad wing before it became anything useful.

What does an animal do with half a stomach?

At what point does it evolve sexual organs, that work perfectly, both female and male?

Any mutation, or accident in DNA always ends in less DNA information, not more. You are talking about a single protein not only somehow creating DNA, but then that DNA mutating into every animal, plant, insect, sealife etc. All through a long series of "mistakes".

How does a blob know it's becoming and eye, and all the parts mutating into eye parts, sensors, connections to the brain to make it all work etc?

With even a moments consideration, it takes more "faith" to believe in evolution than Creation.

You're a creationist, aren't you? Nothing you said is even remotely scientific, nevermind that there are very solid explanations for every seemingly ignorant, misinformed question you asked. The questions you asked are also misleading and imply a HUGE misunderstanding of evolutionary theory on your part.

Also, DNA does NOT end in less information - that is nothing but a pseudoscientific creationist assertion. Creationists always assert that, yet conveniently never offer any evidence for the claim (makes sense, though, as there is no empirical evidence for creationism, anyway.) They also never offer any evidence for this silly assertion, and even though I don't know all that much about epigenetics, it's clear that there is no truth to it.

I'm always amused when people say an observed fact (we've literally observed both micro and macro evolution) requires faith. I accept the scientific method, and therefore, I accept evolutionary theory. If you reject the latter, you also must reject the former. An observed factual occurrence requires more faith than all organisms magically and abruptly appearing in their current form? Get real, and try reading a book or 9 before you assert such fallacious "reasoning." The scientific community of every western country disagrees, vehemently, with your laughable assertion. Not only has it been observed, but we have a fossil record with thousands upon thousands of transitional fossils, and DNA alone confirms it. You people would really be genuinely amusing if your scientific illiteracy wasn't so terrifying, with your attempts to indoctrinate people against the progress that humanity made in developing the scientific method with your dishonesty and misinformation. The scientific community is in nearly universal agreement that evolution is theory - AND fact.

Sorry to go on like that, but it is these people who vehemently - and ignorantly - reject evolution whom are reasons why the U.S. has some of the worst education in the western world and why we've slipped so much behind other countries in technological advances. The countries where it's accepted more significantly than here - in the western European Union, Japan, etc., are where the vast majority of modern scientific accomplishments are occurring these days. I'm honestly appalled at these sorts of comments! I feel really embarrassed for these people, and for the image it reflects onto the rest of world, as most of this movement is American. It is not only an attempt to discredit evolution, but also to change science altogether, away from scientific naturalism, materialism, and empiricism - the only tried and true methods we have of obtaining any objective knowledge. If you really are so adamantly anti-science, perhaps you should move to where magical creation is more significantly accepted, like Saudi Arabia or Iran. There are only very minor details of evolutionary theory that scientists have questions about - but not its occurrence, or common descent.

Anyway, it was the egg coming from the closest ancestor of modern chickens, that is basic biology. However, it is also somewhat of a false dichotomy.

Egg, only retarded Christians or other ignorant fools will tell you otherwise.
