Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Now breaking news on MSNBC

They are reporting finding a protein that proves that the chicken came first. Well I think creationists will like this since it means that God created the chicken (and everything else) out of thin air.



I respectfully disagree.


If you are restricting the question only to chickens and chicken eggs then it is clear that the egg came first. The first chicken must have been a mutation from something similar to a chicken but slightly different. This would mean that this other bird laid the egg that contained the first chicken and therefore the egg came first.

Evolution and logic dictates that the egg came first. Creationism and faith dictates that the chicken came first.


This question should be settled, but it seems to have just been made more confusing.
