SUBJECT: Evolution

QUESTION: 
Which Came First: The Chicken or the Egg?  How does the answer help us concerning evolution and disproving this false, unproven theory?

ANSWER:

Which Came First? The Chicken or the Egg?

Which came first? Do you think it was a chicken? Or do you think it was an egg?

The answer is............neither! It was not A chicken.....nor was it AN egg......it was two chickens! Don't you know anything about sex? (Don't worry this will be G-Rated).

To make an egg you need a male chicken (rooster) and a female chicken (hen). These chickens need a fully functioning reproductive system. Think...if the theory of evolution is true, the male and female would have to evolve their reproductive systems at the same TIME. Imagine the female is fully evolved, but the male is not. Does she start hen nagging him to "hurry up and evolve, we are going to be dead in a few years?"

For the chicken and the egg you need a 100% functioning male and 100% functioning female. But wait a second! They need a functioning digestive system, nervous system, immune system, skeletal system, muscular system etc.

Here is a major difference between Creation and Evolution - Creationists believe in "instant chickens." Creationists believe a Creator with a lot of power and intelligence instantly made males and females at the same time, and put them at the same place. These instant chickens had functioning eyes, mouths, legs, digestive systems, reproductive systems etc.

Evolutionists believe chickens evolved by a step-by-step process. They believe their eyes, mouths, digestive system, reproductive system evolved by a step-by-step process. Think of the details.....how does a reproductive system evolve by a step-by-step process? And don't forget, it has to evolve as male and female.

HOW WOULD AN EVOLUTIONIST ANSWER THE CHICKEN AND EGG QUESTION?
But the problems for the evolutionist extend further back than just the chickens. If an evolutionist were to answer the chicken and egg question, this is what they would say.

"Billions of years ago, there was nothing. Then from nothing, the origin of ALL matter and energy we have today appeared {this belief violates the First Law of Thermodynamics, which teaches matter and energy is neither created nor destroyed}. Then, for some unknown reason, this matter and energy expanded and filled the Universe with hydrogen and helium gas." {Think, evolutionists think energy moved matter a distance of 15 billion light years...and the energy originated from nothing}.

"So the Universe had a bunch of hydrogen and helium swirling around, and then due to gravity, these gases came together and formed stars! In the interior of these stars had such immense temperature and pressure, fusion occurred and heavier elements such as carbon, oxygen, iron and uranium were formed." {This is a very big "free lunch" for evolutionists; hydrogen + gravity = fusion??? ).

(Evolutionist still talking) "So then the stars blew up, and they hurled heavy elements out into space. These heavier elements came together because of gravity and formed the earth and our solar system, and by chance the earth formed a moon and began orbiting around the sun."

"The early earth was lifeless, but some energy somehow mixed with the matter, and somehow lifeless matter became living. {This violates the Law of Biogenesis which teaches life only comes from life}.

"Now, not only did non-living matter come to life, it was also able to metabolize" "(metabolism is taking energy from your surroundings and utilizing it to maintain life: humans eat, plants perform photosynthesis). This first life also was able to reproduce! And it was able to mutate to other organisms! It eventually evolved into a fish-like organism, then into an amphibian, then into a reptile, then eventually.....to a chicken!."

Remember, this answer is not sufficient. For sexual reproduction, evolution has to make a male and a female, at the same time, and at the SAME PLACE. If the male evolves 10 miles away from the female...you won't get any eggs. What do they need to live? Food would have to evolve before the chickens. Water would have to evolve, the right temperature would have to evolve, and so would thousands of other things in order to support life.

What is the best explanation for the chicken and the egg? The Garden of Eden story. The Garden of Eden teaches a supernatural being with intelligence and power to instantly make male and female chickens and put them where there is the right food, temperature, gravity etc.

My belief is that it takes much more faith to believe in Evolution than Creation.

Two important questions to ask regarding the theory of evolution:

Could evolution have happened?
Did evolution happen?

"Could it happen" is a science question. Evolutionists think mutations turned bacteria into chickens. Mutations scramble DNA. Mutations make lung cancer, not lungs. Mutations do not make organs, they degrade organs - so the answer appears to be no, is could not have happened.

"Did evolution happen" is a history question. Since there are no living transitional forms, and the trillions of fossils do not show any transitions, a sound conclusion is it did not happen.
