Eggs and strings

*idly wonders why the thread needed to be derailed in the first place*

I was actually wondering the same thing, it was a good adult discussion. People can discuss politics on this forum appearantly, but religion needs derailing? Mmm...

The time has come; the thread is split
We talk of many things -
here we talk of gods and such,
and here we talk of strings.

It's so obvious.

The chicken of course.

Why you ask? Because the chicken started out as some super invisble cell that no one could see which over time developed itself into organism after organism, eventually evolving itself into the first chicken. Then the chicken itself evolved the ability to lay eggs. Problem solved. The chicken had to exist first, and then the egg came later.

-K.

Eh... Who knew?

I thought maybe it was an appropriate time to give a W00t, W00t!

Well.. might aswell at least try not to derail this one XD..

The egg came first, plain and simple, for the sole fact that Even though if the primitive form of the chicken had evolved the ability to lay eggs, what ever hatched form the egg would not exactly be a chicken, the chicken would over time be created through the evolution of th egg laying organism, slowly but surely evolving with each generation, until finally an egg would be laid and when hatched, poof, out comes the chicken.

[Kell]

Exactly. An egg always has been and always will be an egg. Lizards lay eggs, fish lay eggs, everything lays eggs except for most mammals. So I think that the egg was first. It's not exactly stated in the question if it really had to be a "chicken" egg either. It's just asked what was first, the egg or a chicken. Well seeing that there were egg laying creatures long before the chicken existed, I say the egg came first.

[Muletang]

everything has spawned from microwhatevers, we used to be sludge and that developed - no eggs. so I rekon chicks first (or their non sludge equivalent) then they laid the first eggs. Imagine that, no racial memory of what was happening, just a big thingy through a tiny....youch *cheers egg layers and their equivalents everywhere*

Definitions.

Egg
-A reproductive cell within the female; ovum.
-the thin-shelled ovum of a bird or reptile, often used for food by humans and animals.

Ovum
-The female reproductive cell in animals or plants.

Cell
-A microscopic unit of plant or animal life, containing a nucleus and surrounded by a very thin membrane.

I'm no biologists or whatnot, but I would say the egg. Though they were not reproductive cells, a guess on my part as I don't know for sure, they were still cells which contained life of somekind inside. Like eggs.

I love fried eggs

The string is only as long as this thread....

-Which- would be as long as it's measured out to be, eh, eh?
