 Posted 27/12/2006 04:50:35 PM | | Looking at basic logic where scientist must be 100% honest & logical "The chicken came first!"
Why of course it was the chicken but...
...I will also accept that since one is a complicated form of replication and the other is the complete organism, they are the same. Look at it in terms of a single celled organism that replicates through cellular division. Do we ask which came first the cell on the left or the cell on the right?? No. They divided into two. That is the concept of replication and if you extend it through billions of years you can understand that the chicken reproduces by laying the egg (fertilized) and that in essence it is just a complicated version of the single-celled division.
However, if that is not convincing enough--Simply put, whatever laid the first egg was a chicken. The egg (being a chicken) had to be laid by a chicken in order to be a chicken egg. Combine this information with the information on reproduction and evolution and you see that there is no paradox.
Scientists should stop using this as a paradox. In the future, people will laugh at our naivity. If one understands evolution there is no paradox. The question is just as silly as someone asking, "which came first the engine or the wheel? ah...it's a paradox Credits to Ronald D Smith jnr....us2u
