What came first...

[Corporal Hicks]

Both!

arnisador: "What was intelligently designed first--the chicken or the egg?"

That just made me throw up in my mouth a little. :barf:

Of course the egg came first - birds evolved from dinosaurs, right?

But would you call it a 'chicken egg' before the first chicken hatched out of it, or is it not yet a 'chicken's egg' until it is laid by a chicken?

Eww...

I'd call it a chicken egg the moment it contained a chicken.

So who owns the egg, the chicken inside it or the thing that laid it? See, i'm not sure its actually the chicken's egg.

the chicken or the egg?

Light?

The company who genetically engineered the chicken of course. The egg is a reflection of the mother's genetics and that stuff can be patented.

Personally, I think its just a matter of semantics and the answer will vary from person to person.

The chicken.
was man put on the earth as a baby?

Technically, man probably evolved from a long lineage of ancestral species that ultimately have their physical origins in single-celled organisms that grew out of constituent elements and molecules that make up part of the earth.

So, man wasn't so much "put on" the earth as "grown out of" the earth. Or, something like that.

I don't believe that man came out of the ocean as a single celled organism.
But thats just me

If you'll actually re-read my post, that is not at all what I was saying.

What I actually said was that man evolved from a long line of ancestral species that ultimately have their origins in single-celled organisms that may or may not have inhabited "the ocean".

It doesn't matter who "owns" an egg. Is there a chicken inside? If so, it's a chicken egg.

Arguments rise and fall over semantics.

Michael Palin: I came here for a good argument!
John Cleese: No, you came here for an argument.

Is this the 5 minute or the half an hour? Just want to know before we go on to far.


That is a great act

Yeah but if it was layed by a dinosaur why would that have no bearing on weather or not it was a chicken egg or a dinosaur egg. I mean it is after all the reproductive cell of the mother is it not?

Since I have nothing intelligent to say on this one, how about a stab at humor?

"But would you call it a 'chicken egg' before the first chicken hatched out of it, or is it not yet a 'chicken's egg' until it is laid by a chicken?"

Attempt #1 - I dont think a 'chicken egg' has to give birth to be called a 'chicken egg' I think it could be a 'chicken egg' after it has been laid a couple of times.

"So who owns the egg, the chicken inside it or the thing that laid it?"

Attempt #2 - I think most married men know the answer to this one without my prompt, but for clarification - yes the thing that laid it owns it - period.

Can I get a stack of pancakes with low-carb syrup and a half order of biscuits and gravy with my eggs.

 

[someguy]

Define chicken. Define what genetic code is required for it to be a chicken. Heck just define everything then I'll answere anything.
I'll answere the egg came first.
