Which Came First? The Chicken or The Egg?

 

How many times have you heard that question asked?  I've heard it a lot. And surprisingly, many people don't know the answer. The majority is confused, because of what evolutionists have taught them. They wonder, How can the egg come first? You need a chicken to have the egg. Or How can the chicken come first? Don't you need an egg to have the chicken? 

In Genesis, God says he created every winged fowl on day five of the creation week. So, as we see here, birds came before eggs.

But, were eggs before chickens?

Just because birds were created before the egg, doesn't actually mean the chicken was. I researched this a bit, and to my surprise the chicken is a created kind of bird that possibly came from another bird by God's beautiful design.

 Now, the chicken did not evolve. God said that each creature will produce after its own kind.

Creationists researched chickens to find out who their parent kinds were by analyzing every Biblical word for chicken and birds, then studying which ones can mix with chickens and produce offspring. Within the research, Creationists found evidence for chickens coming from the potential created kind Galliformes order.

According to research n God's Word, these birds were among the clean kinds in the Ark.

"Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of the earth." ~ Genesis 7:2-3

After the Flood, these birds reproduced and filled the earth with many different kinds of birds. Just as all the different nations of people came after Noah and his family spread out among the earth.

God created immense diversity within the genetics of the original kinds. Remember, before the fall, the world was much different than it is today. Everything was perfect then. Animals didn't kill to eat. They ate of the grass of the field and other plants God provided for them. Nor did people eat animals. They ate of the fruit and the plants.

With this in mind, it is very possible that a non-chicken bird produced an egg that laid a chicken. After the flood, some early fossils found looked like pheasants and other wild birds. Modern species of domesticated chickens are called Gallus Domesticus. There's good evidence that the Gallus Domesticus Egg came first.

Just keep in remembrance not to confuse any one that asks the question, Which came first? The chicken or the egg? God is not the author of confusion. And just because you say the egg came first, remind them that you don't believe in evolution. And also, keep in mind birds came before eggs!

Secular scientists ask this question to stump people though. And we need always remind them God created the birds before the eggs. (God could have even directly made the chicken on day five). Even British scientists have said the chicken must have come first. (Now, when referring to this, they mean birds.) So, yes British scientists have said you have to have birds in order to have eggs. Just like God's Word says.  In order for eggs to "come first" all the parts/ chemicals would have to be there for the egg-laying system to work in the first place. Eggs couldn't have evolved like evolutionists say. Evolutionists believe the "Cambrian explosion" documents the "sudden" appearance of many life forms on earth. And that Vertebrates diversified in the oceans, and reptiles "evolved" from amphibians mainly due the "evolution" of the amniotic egg. And then eventually mammals and birds "evolved" from there. They also believe birds evolved from the theropod dinosaurs. As you know, it's silly to think anything "evolved". There was no "Big Bang" that led to evolution. Evolution is proven impossible multiple times. Evolution says that all life on earth has come about through descent with modification from a single common ancestor ( a hypothetical, primitive, single-celled organism). Evolution assumes to happen by consequence with natural selection. But direct science has never observed fish gradually turning into a frog. And never will. You can watch your fish in the fish tank as long as you want, but I promise you, it will NOT turn into a frog.  Natural selection is often used interchangeably with evolution, but should better be defined as the process by which individuals possessing a set of traits that confer a survival advantage in a given environment tend to leave more offspring on average that survive to reproduce in the next generation. Natural selection falls into the category of observable science. That means, it an be observed. Say I have a calico cat and a persian cat. And the one cat gets pregnant by the other. When the kittens are born, you will see different kinds. There could be a black kitten, a white kitten, a calico, and any other sort. Same goes with the mule. Donkeys and horses are from the same kind. And can produce together. But cats cannot produce with dogs, nor can humans with animals.

 Most Biblical creationist agree with evolutionists on natural selection. Of course not where the evolutionists say natural selections leads from molecules to man. Because that study has been proven untrue and is impossible.

 But back to the point, science always falls back to the truth. And goes directly with what God said.

 God's Word is always proven true!

This picture from Ken Ham's Answers in Genesis makes the best point:

 

 

And that is exactly right. Without God our Creator neither would be possible. We would have absolutely nothing without our loving God creating everything.

God mentions birds about 25 times in the Bible. (Deuteronomy 14:11, Jeremiah 4:25, Leviticus 14:50, Psalm 104:17, Matthew 8:20, Luke 9:58, Song of Solomon 2:12, etc)

Always trust God for the answers! Embrace science! True science! For it is absolutely amazing!

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." - II Timothy 2:15.

We should embrace science to show the world God's Word is True! God is Truth and has been from the beginning. For ever! And will always be!
