Poll: What came first Chicken or the Egg?

[wewontdie11]

Egg because of science etc, etc, can't be bothered to explain.

No one could effectively explain this if they tried. Even Charles Darwin himself must have had trouble with this question as well.

Organisms don't evolve while they're alive, evolution usually comes about through mutations in amino acid sequences in gametes. If a certain mutation appears to be beneficial, that trait will become more common. So at one point a bird that vaguely resembles a chicken would have laid an egg that would have hatched into what would be recognised as a modern chicken.

 

[QuirkyTambourine]

The Great Flying Spaghetti Monster plucked forth from his saucy heaven both a chicken and an egg. After not being able to decide between an omelet or nuggets, he unceremoniously threw the chicken and egg over His Great Meatbally Shoulder. The chicken and the egg both landed on Earth at exactly the same time, thus this argument is moot because they were here together all along.

Oookay... I take it you're a South Park Fan. What with you mentioning a Flying Spaghetti Monster...

*Mmmm... Flying spaghetti...*

South Park? No no silly that's my diety
