The Chicken or the Egg

      My coworker and I were having a casual conversation about something and I said, "It's kind of like; what came first the chicken or the egg?"  He said, "Yeah."  Well just before I said what I said another coworker had walked in and he said, "The chicken, right?  God made the chicken and it laid eggs to make more chickens."

      To me the answer was that the egg came first.  The chicken was some kind of mutation of some other bird.  This other bird laid an egg and through the miracle of DNA when it hatched... poof!  Chicken.  So the egg came first.  A chicken had to come from an egg.  So the egg came first.

      Well, here I was now, once again finding myself so pleased that there are other people in the world with there own thoughts that make my day.  I go along so sure of myself that I know so much and then...  "The chicken right?  God made the chicken..."

      God was just sitting there one morning thinking and She realized that She needed an new thing for breakfast.  Ostrich eggs were so big and the flavor was to sulfurry.  Quail eggs were good but you had the break like fifty of them to make a decent omelet.  So, She created the chicken; perfect!  And they are great roasted too!  I'll bet She gained a couple of pounds that week!  Even Jesus liked it!  (And He's such a picky eater, all He ever wants is bread and wine.)
