Not really, no.

Neither! The hen came first, obviously because it came from an egg and then an egg came from the chicken that came from the egg.

Does that help at all?

Yes but if we all took that attitude we'd never discuss anything. Nothing actually matters, you may think it does, but it doesn't.
When I say I don't care, that just means I'm impartial to the egg/chicken situation, I'm still willing to argue about it.

Here here! and so we should end this silly arguement because in the end it REALLY does not matter does it?

The problem is not with evolutionary theory, its with the question.

The one oft posed is "Chicken or egg" not "chicken or chicken egg".

Its quite clear that the egg existed before the chicken. trillobites laid eggs (i think). However, the paradoxical query people assume they are faced with is that of "chicken or chicken egg".

Egg came before both chicken and chicken egg.

I've no idea of who came in second. And I don't much care.

An OEUF is an OEUF!

If you bothered to read further down you would have seen that I 'CRACKED' that 'YOLK' ages ago!

A chicken and an egg are sitting in a bed. The chicken has a very satisfied look on his face while the egg isn't looking too pleased...
The egg then said, "Well, we finally answered ~that~ question"

Have you not heard of the Chickosaurus?
