Which came first…

The chicken or the egg…?

Stop falling for this. It is a trick question, not a clever one. Obviously the chicken slowly developed over millions of years to achieve the form that we know it as today. During this process, branches of the chicken family experimented with varied reproductive methods. Some of these divergent lines died out as their methods proved to be less successful. But one line hit on the brilliant notion of allowing the embryos to develop safely inside the mother’s body, much like we mammals did. They improved on this system by slowly using the body’s natural calcium to form a protective womb around the developing fetus. Now the mother could lay the egg, where the youngster could continue its development, and thus free up the mother to continue the breeding cycle. This is, if anything, more proof that evolution does exist.

Just sayin’…

    I don’t really believe in the whole evolution thing…I believe in adaptation. We should talk about this some day when you are not busy.

  2. Dear pmao,
    Why is it eggs don’t taste nice when you have them with chicken? In fact, thinking about it, I can’t call to mind any recipes that combine chicken AND eggs. But I’m not much of a cook so that might be why.

  3. More “proof” or just more “evidence”? Just askin’. 😉
