Mr Papineau, an expert in the philosophy of science, reasoned that the first chicken came from an egg and that proves there were chicken eggs before chickens.

philosophy of science sounds like a big fucking headache.

thanks Katie, I can sleep well tonight knowing that the egg came first.

 

[k69atie]

I thought so

 

[Chronic]

I would've thought that was obvious.

 

[Butt Rubber]

the chicken came first, how else does the egg get there?

PWNED

^Nothing hard about that.

Fellow "eggspert" Professor David Papineau, of King's College London, and poultry farmer Charles Bourns agreed with the verdict.

I am SOOOO glad they figured this out!!!!

The problem is they're assuming there's a specific point at which the parent wouldn't be a chicken but it's offspring could be defined as a chicken. But the evolution from it's earlier form would have happened gradually over many generations, there wouldn't be a clear dividing line. You could pick any one bird and say that's the first chicken, but it would still have almost the exact same phyisical characteristics as it's parents, and still obviously be able to mate with non-chickens of the same species as it's parents. So it would still be the same species as it's parents, regardless of whether you defined it as a chicken or not.

riddle me this batman,if the egg came first,where did it come from? zzzoink

 

[Cown]

lies, all lies! The chicken ate a stone, then popped an egg

 

[Butt Rubber]

the real question is

what food is better, eggs or chicken?

ill take chicken any day

 

[Saint33]

im pretty sur this is obvious as fuck

the chicken evolved from a different fucking bird, and wen that bird had an egg it looked a lil bit more like a chicken, then wen that bird had an egg, it looked a lil bit more like a chicken, etc until a chicken popped out of the egg

its the same as a human evolving from an ape. Which came first the Human or the Fetus?
