During my life science lecture about cells suddenly this ancient paradox came into my mind: egg come first or chicken come first? Many of you will think it's a stupid question as it has no answer but actually it has been solved, and you'll know the answer if you know which book to read (I've forgotten the name of the book, it has been a long time ago). Here is the solution:
The answer to this question is based on the Theory of Evolution. The modern chicken must have evolved from something. Let's imagine the very very first chicken (that can be consider a chicken) has come from this particular bird, let's called it the Pre-chicken (but it cannot be consider a chicken). This Pre-chicken must had laid an egg out of which the very very first chicken come out from. Since a chicken came out of this egg, this egg is a chicken egg and therefore in conclusion, egg came before the chicken! (Solved)
Just some food for thought here. Is there anyone who disagree with the solution?
