Which Came First, The Chicken or the Egg?

Allen Frederick 1 Comment

Christians know the answer to this question is the Chicken came first. But for a scientist determined to believe that everything started off in some embryonic state this is not possible so they study, research and study some more only to find that the egg can not exist outside a chicken thusly the Chicken had to come before the egg. Just think how much time and energy not to mention money could have been saved if they would have only read the first couple chapters of the bible.

British scientists claim to have cracked one of the oldest philosophical riddles — the chicken came before the egg, they say. Case closed?
Which came first? The answer lies in the shell.

It has inspired countless chin-scratching conversations, but researchers in the U.K. says they have finally answered the classic unanswerable question about chickens and eggs:

So why did the chicken come before the egg?
Scientists from Sheffield and Warwick in the U.K. have found that egg shells can only be formed by a particular protein found in a chicken’s ovaries. Ergo, an egg can only exist if it has emerged from a chicken. 

What do the creationists say?
Chickens came first, according to John D. Morris of the Institute for Creation Research. On the fifth day of Creation, God created “every winged fowl after [their] kind,” then blessed them saying “be fruitful and multiply” (Genesis 1:21-22). “For the chickens, this meant lay chicken eggs. Problem solved.”

Ancients and modern evolutionists still pondering the same questions.

It would appear that for over 1500 years the debate has raged over the origin of life.”Natural Theology, published in 1802 by William Paley, discussed the evidence for design using the “inferred watchmaker” analogy. The majority of scientists at that time professed belief in a Creator, in one way or another. This was reflected in their studies. To some extent, design was assumed. ”

“Evolution lacked a reasonable engine to drive biological change. When Charles Darwin published “The Origin of Species” in 1859, those who preferred evolution had a seemingly plausible mechanism to explain it – natural selection.”

“Almost 150 years later, the scientific community at large speaks of the “facts” of evolution. Those who propose non-natural causes for biologic effects are soon branded as “ignorant,” “superstitious,” or “closed-minded.” ”

Some things never change…

Thousands of years ago, ancient Greeks and Romans considered the idea that life had been designed by some unknown force. At the same time, they wondered if life had progressed from “higher” or “lower” forms over time. Jump forward to today, and the same two questions are still at war. The intelligent design movement, unlike prior competitors to naturalism, represents a solid, clear, and compelling case for design theory. This newer approach partially explains why the intelligent design movement has endured intense scrutiny yet continued to gain support in the worldwide intellectual community.
Scientific and logical evidences that support the influence of an aware designer are the only bullets in the intelligent design movement’s gun. Arguing only through logic and science, the intelligent design movement forces evolutionists to argue their case based only on provable, observable facts – and to admit the assumptions and gaps inherent to a naturalistic view.
