Please stop with the flame war.

Let us stay on topic and discuss the topic of the thread, which is debating which came first, the chicken or the egg, and the ramifications of either concept.
 
This is not about probability or possibility, duh...

This is about me having 3 billion years worth of physical data,

and you having absolutely nothing, nada, zilch, nichts, sans.....

And you are telling me to have a open mind ? je je je

you are funny!!



Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:

You do understand the difference between probability and possibility, right?

Who determines probability?

A bunch of scientists who share the same opinions?

LOL....

History has shown without a doubt that a group of scientists are just as fallible as anyone else when they are engaged in speculation.
 
I don't question the data at all.

I question the scientists who weave theories with huge holes in them, then offer them up as a "proof."

Hey, believe whatever you like, but it is still a belief system....

p.s.

Score:

Chicken 11
Egg 4

Excerpt:

"Cecil Adams' response was only correct for one interpretation of the question. That interpretation is a question of whether eggs of any sort existed before chickens of any sort. His interpretation is only useful if you intend to be a smart-ass by answering the letter of the question rather than the common interpretation. The more common interpretation of this question is whether chicken eggs existed before chickens themselves. That is the question that TFA seeks to answer.

BTW, I also answered this question years ago (though not before '84). All it got me was dumb stares from the people I told it to. Now that my answer has been "officially confirmed" I expect nothing but head scratching and comments like, "I don't remember you saying anything like that at all."

The answer is actaully quite obvious from an evolutionary perspective. If evolution happens between generations, then what came before the first chicken egg had to be a non-chicken. Thus the egg came first."
