    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: something nearly imperceptibly not quite a chicken laid an egg that hatched a chicken. That’s how evolution works, with the egg coming first.

    Religion says a god poofed a chicken into existence. The chicken came first, and only ever laid pure chicken eggs. The eggs will forever hatch a chicken and nothing but a chicken.

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

    e: simplified. I’m too wordy by default.
