If you're catholic, the chicken came first.

۔The pre/proto chicken sat on the chicken egg

Proto-chickens are not chickens

They are the species before chickens

Close to being chickens but not quite

Therefore you have solved nothing

You're under thinking this :p

I believe in God; I'm Roman Catholic just to prove a point, evolution shows that our modern day chicken is the result of a long chain of Pre-Chicken laying eggs and having a Chicken come out, just as man has evolved from apes some time in the past and over millions of years. Ergo evolution shows us that the pre-chickens gave the genetic information (chromosomes) to form our modern day chicken which has then flourished throughout the world. Conversation Over.

۔Eggs hatch with the heat of the mother pre/proto-chicken

The pre/proto-chicken is not a chicken though

It is chicken-like,but not quite a chicken

This is evolution&this is why the question of chicken or the egg remained unsolved for so long

Evolution wasnt discovered until 150 years ago

Because of that,lots of questions in biology now make sense with Evo

Before people would pretend to know what life was for by making up a "god" answer to any question they couldnt answer

Evolution,progress,egg!x
