[edit] Chicken or the Egg?^[1]

The egg actually did come first

To begin with, we must examine a few facts. We must understand evolution, and the fact that there are intermediate species during evolution. We must also understand that according to science, the first species on the Earth were microscopic single-celled organisms. As some of us know, these single-celled organisms began to evolve to adapt to the harsh Earth conditions. First, these organisms were bacteria, thus creating the Arcahe- and Eu- bacterial kingdoms. Then a portion of these evolved into the viruses and protists. Then, some of the protists then evolved into the last three kingdoms, Fungi, Plant, and Animals. Now to the question, which actually came first, the Chicken or the egg? Well, we cannot say that chickens came first. We can only say that there were intermediate species of chickens before the egg was lain. It was this intermediate specie that laid the egg for the chicken that we now know and love. Thus, concluding the arguement that the egg actually did come before the chicken. And if you say that the intermediate species of chickens can be considered a chicken, then can you say that a monkey is a human? No. A monkey, according to science, is an intermediate form of the human, but we do not consider them humans. Thus, the same for the chicken.

But according to the Bible and Torah, God created all beings. It is never implied, stated, or suggested in any way, shape, or form that the God created anything through evolution. Therefore, according to the Bible, we cannot say which came first, the Chicken or the Egg, because we do not know in what way God placed the animals on Earth. He could have brought the chicken to Earth through the egg, or he might have just placed the chicken right here. Which one, we might never know.

The first organisms to live on the face of the Earth probably did not need oxygen to survive, were unicellular, and could survive in some of the most extreme environments.
