[__ Science __ ] Which Came First—The Chicken or the Egg?

AIG has it right, this time:

These birds appear to have been among the clean animals on the Ark. As they diversified and filled the earth after the Flood, many different species appeared. Some of these were preserved in post-Flood sediments. The earliest fossils look like pheasants and similar wild birds. It’s possible that it was not until later that the modern species of domesticated chickens (Gallus domesticus) appeared.

The Creator placed designs for immense diversity within the genetics of the original kinds. As this diversity was passed from parent to offspring, most likely a non-chicken bird eventually laid an egg containing a chicken. So, technically speaking, it’s very likely that the Gallus domesticus egg came first.


Except that God didn't put all possible diversity into organisms; He put the ability to change over time into the genome so that it could change. Chickens evolved from jungle fowl.

The egg needs a chicken to make it hatch, i do not think Adam was smart enough to know how to do that.
