Chicken or egg dilemma solved (Genesis 1:20-22). Which came first, the chicken or the egg? This question has plagued philosophers for centuries. The Bible states that God created birds with the ability to reproduce after their kind. Therefore the chicken was created first with the ability to make eggs! Yet, evolution has no solution for this dilemma.

Actually, the reptile came first, and the amphibian before it, and the fish before that. They were all laying eggs millions of years before chickens evolved.
So I guess you could say that the egg did, indeed, come first.
"Yet, evolution has no solution for this dilemma. "
Can god make a rock so heavy he can't lift it? Christianism has no solution for this dilemma.
Oh finally! And that's settled then.
Whew, I was loosing my sleep on it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Now for the remaining fundamental problems of humanity, I wonder if you can get me a clue about these:
1) How many angels can dance on a pinhead?
2) Does a falling tree in a forest without animals make noise?
3) Does the soul really weigh 21 grams?
4) If I kill one damn butterfly in China will I prevent one tornado forming?
5) Is Elvis alive?
6) How much wood could a wood chuk chuk if a wood chuk could chuk wood?
Thank you in advance.
Yes, evolution does answer the question. Eggs existed LONG before chickens ever did, for example, the Mongolian Protoceratops nests.
But you avoided the important question of whether Adam and Eve had navels.
This question has plagued philosophers for centuries
Phundy Philosophers, maybe. We need a new TV show, "Are You Smarter Than a Fundie"?
Evolution does indeed have an answer. The egg came first, and it came out of a creature that was almost, but not quite, a chicken.
Leaving aside the fact that this is a rhetorical question meant to put one in mind of a paradox of causality, the development of amniotic eggs predates the evolution of birds by tens of millions of years.
Us book-learnin-types have an answer for anything.
Egg producing reptiles (Chicken ancestors) preceeded the chicken. Theres more but the chickens not there at the beginning of egg production so, solved.
They were'nt chicken eggs yet but the riddle doesn't define that
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the egg came before the chicken. The first chicken egg was laid by a near-chicken, not the modern bird.
There, evolution's answer.
"This question has plagued philosophers for centuries."
Chickens are related to dinosaurs. Dinosaurs had eggs first.
It was the egg.
"Yet, evolution has no solution for this dilemma."
Sir, the chicken-or-the-egg 'problem' is a fallacy of how precisely one defines chickens and eggs, and whether or not dinosaur eggs count.
To say that evolution can't 'solve' it matters as much as saying that creation can't solve the knapsack problem. it is unrelated.
Q)Why did the chicken cross the playgound?
A)To get to the other SLIDE!
Oh you don't think that jokes funny?Well I figured you would considering it's at your intelligence level......
Yes it does. Eggs came before chickens. Chickens evolved from dinosaurs, as did all birds. Dinosaurs, being lizards, laid eggs. Dinosaurs evolved from amphibians, which also laid eggs. Amphibians evolved from fish, so, eggs there, too. Fish evolved from insects, which lay eggs, and insects evolved from annelids, which lay eggs. So, kindly fuck off.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
