Chicken vs Egg - Mander

The chicken vs egg question has never been about chronology or science.

It’s been about religion vs science.

Science says the egg came first: a chicken laid an egg that was nearly imperceptibly not a chicken, so the egg was a new thing. Then it hatched and one of its descendants laid an egg that was almost imperceptibly not a not-a-chicken. Repeat ad nauseum. That’s how evolution works, with the egg coming first.

Religion says a god poofed a chicken into existence.

That’s the chicken vs egg thing. It’s not a puzzle at all, it’s just science vs religion.

You can interpret it that way now but that’s not the original meanig.

I understand and respect where you are coming from but i prefer not to rewrite history while arguing about ideas.

You’re right, I shouldn’t have said ‘never’. It was a paradox in ancient history, but at least in my lifetime, I’ve read it as basically solved. That may be a relatively recent stance (since 100-200 years ago), but it doesn’t seem useful to continue presenting it as a paradox at this point.
