chicken or the Egg

Sex has to come before either one, or else you couldn't make more chickens. Also, you can't make more chickens with one egg, unless you were asexual...

Egg fer sure... Just like Ligers can come from two non-Ligers, a chicken egg can come from two non-chickens. Of course according to Ichirai-kun: First comes love, then come marriage, then comes the chicken in the chicken carriage... or somesuch...

So basically two humans can give birth to a chicken? Very intriguing... *Tries to make a chicken, then sell it for $1,000,000,000.00*

@wallace, Because a scientific theory is not the same as theory in everyday language. It means it's held up to a lot of scrutiny. For example, gravity is also a theory. I'm just checking because it kinda sounds like you might think that the evolution explanation is questionable @Ichirai, nope two humans cannot give birth to two chickens. Humans are not the same species as chickens and thus can't procreate together.

@Ichirai well Jinsei is right, ligers do come from at least one non liger parent. Liger's suffer from the post-zygotic isolation mechanisms in that the hybrid offsprings are not fertile. Two ligers cannot procreate with each other, and in fact, very rarely are able to procreate with their parent species. I believe there's only been 5 noted liger-related births where the mother was a liger, 4 coming from the same couple. However male ligers are infertile.

Haha, typed the wrong person's name after the @. But also for Ichirai, yes, the non-chickens laid true chicken eggs that then reproduced with each other when they hatched, thus there were true chickens. You're right in that there must have been more than one egg

Even though some dinosaurs are somewhat similar to chickens(Such as some being like birds), I can't really believe evolution being how chickens came about, perhaps if foreign/other DNA was involved then yeah, I could believe it a little more, so basically just nature's experimentation, but this isn't my field, I'm more of a quantum physics guy... *Shrugs* I'll just stick to the more quantum topics I think.
