You know the debate of which came first, the chicken and the egg? We know a chicken exists, as most of us had seen one, and many have eaten a cooked one at some point or another. Now the idea is that for a chicken to have been born, it must have come from an egg. But for a egg to exist, a chicken must have lain it. I've been thinking about this extensively, and you know, it's fairly obvious. On one hand, the egg came first, the fish lied an egg that eventually turned into an amphibian. This amphibian lies an egg that will one day become reptile. Then an unexplained event occurs, at least to my knowledge, and eventually feathers appear, on birds. Eventually, a chicken evolves and will continue laying eggs to preserve it's species. Through this series of events, the egg comes first, the protection system for the undeveloped embryo of many a creature. In this aspect of life, the egg dominates over the chicken. But of course if the chicken came first, then the other explanation must be the truth; to quote the fictional but philosophical character Sherlock Holmes, "Eliminate all other factors, and the one which remains must be the truth." Basing the debate on this idea, the only idea left is a chicken existed without an egg existing. The only real theory that covers this area is a or many gods created life, and within that category the chicken. This raises many scrutinies because it's unlikely that life ever, well, popped into being with all the necessary aspects for it's survival, even with predators. They would have to also be in a stage of life that means they exceeded the egg stage; which frankly isn't hard to believe because because they would also need to be able to care for themselves and be past any stages of life where in they are no longer dependent on a maternal figure. These aside, if the chicken came first, these conditions are those that must exist. And for the sake of equality, the egg theory has holes too, although the only that come to mind are how in the world did the egg come into existence, and at what need? And the, like I mentioned, how did a reptilian ever turn into a feathered creature? I know the existence of such dinosaurs as pterodactyls could prove a connection, although I've heard that the Tyrannosaurus Rex is a mildly close relative of the chicken. Not to mention that if the giant meteor did really come down and eradicate all the dinosaurs, how could they be ancestors of the chicken? But through these reasoning, I fell I have not answered the question, but eradicated it. It comes down to whether you believe in intelligent design or evolution.
