Yes... it's only easy IF you're a fan of evolution.

Whoops a dais... pressed the wrong button!
It may have been that the chick from the egg didn't need mothering in the garden of eden because all the other animals looked after one another. **indicates for the orchestra to strike up a tune**

That orchestra must work long hours behind the scenes.
Clare, you got a good point there. That could be true, but so could anything else. Who knows?

ahhh but the chicken and the egg question doesn't say it has to be a chicken egg in which case eggs were around for way longer because dinosaurs etc. were laying eggs far before chickens evolved ;D

You know, I think it's been proven the 'chicken' (or whatever laid the first eggs) was first...the egg, as a reproduction method, evolved at some stage, I suppose when creatures got larger than organisms that could split their cells (*forgets the correct term*) So nyah  |

'Cell Division'
It does stand to reason that the egg came first, as has been noted, there were many egg-laying creatures around before birds, adn some of them even evolved into birds

I know, but what I meant was that the 'chicken' isn't necessarily a physical chicken.
(Thank you for Cell Division! I was boggled.)
Isn't it noted in evolution that certain traits - like egg laying / pregnancy / cell division evolved as methods of reproduction due to changes in environment + creatures adapting? So the 'chicken' would have been perhaps...oh, a fish. A creature that due to evolution decided to lay an egg rather than split it's cells.

True, but if you look at it that way then the 'non-physical chicken' came first!

for some reason that made me think of virtual chickens like neopets or something. Neopets came first lol *shakes head at self* non-physical chickens...hehe |

good old neopets. we could start a whole new theory on how life evolved from cyber creatures

Maybe life on this planet evolved from overactive breeding of alien neopets?

Quick! go back to the overactive alien neopet breeding!
