Which one came first?

On the last Tuesday Chapel, December 1 2009, Rob asked a question that has been a question for decades and some people still get it wrong, including the Christians. But here is my observation and interpretation of the situation... Oh, and the question is this: "Which one came first...Chicken or the Egg?" For my observation, and based on what I study from the Bible, I would say that Chicken came first. The reason for this is very clear and we can also just use our common sense to answer this question if we carefully think about it. But let me answer it with my common sense before I give my answer based on my studying from the Bible. Common Sense Answer: if the egg came first, it will surely die. before it even crack open. The reason for this is because the egg needs some heat to keep itself warm so it can be fully develop. At the same time, even if the chick survive from that, it would not be able to survive on the second stage of its life because it does not know how to hunt their food or maybe can be killed by other creatures because it does not know how to protect itself yet, especially when it have not develop its wings to fly. But if the Chicken came first, it can actually conceive the egg and keep it warm. After the egg become chick, then the chicken will train the small one to hunt for its food and at the same time, protecting it from other creatures until it's fully grown. OK. Now, that is a Common Sense Answer. Let me bring our mind to the Bible now. Bible Answer: In the beginning, man and woman were created....not baby. In later days, God created plants and trees and said that they will bear fruits of its kind.... not fruit to become tree. Continuing with creation, God created beasts of the land. Baby lions are not beast yet. It will be beast if they are big and vicious already. All the creations happened in seven days....and we know that baby lion cannot develop to become a beast within seven days. I want to say that these are not speculations, but because I know that some people would disagree with me, I will say that you can say that I'm just speculating. Chicken came first.
