Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

The first came first which is why we ask ‘which came first’.

Probably the egg if we consider evolutionary concepts of life.

The egg plus billions of years of evolution.

Neither. The answer is: No one cares.
Also, those who care say the chicken came first.
Those who ask the question in a philosophical way should find something more important to care about. Like why people still use this cliché.

I just heard it for the first time. I thought, very good question. I don’t think evolution is right. Makes no sense just like everything else. I’m obsessing over it. Need to get to the Dr.

Just because it’s non-obvious doesn’t mean it doesn’t make sense. It just means you don’t understand it. Learn the difference.

The chicken. The egg can’t lay itself

I’m not even gonna waste my time on pettiness.

It’s not pettiness. Anti-intellectualism, like you just displayed, is a serious problem. People need to be told that there’s a difference between not understanding something and having a valid reason to disagree with something.

The question also depends on many factors. When you say ‘egg’, is it a chicken egg or a reptile egg? If it’s a reptile egg, the egg came first because reptiles came before birds. It’s a question for you to reflect and even have fun with. But each person will come with a different answer because it’s how things work: different points of view lead to different answers.

Exactly why I wanted to ask :grinning:

I always thought it was a fun question, but only thinking minds can give any kind of answer.

Most people are concerned with banal things or ‘the world’ so it seems trivial to most.

I still think it’s a stupid question. It’s just a matter of definitions.
It’s not philosophically interesting at all.

It’s had me thinking for a little bit. Wanted to see what others thought about it.

Yeah, I was curious to see what others would say too. But only when you can understand more can their answers mean anything at all.

My question is, if it’s evolution and the egg came first, where did the egg come from? I need to learn about this stuff.
