the chicken or the egg?

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

If modern science can’t take a chicken egg and fertilize it with the sperm from reptile or amphibian or take a dog and breed it with a cat, why would we believe in evolution? If very limited success has been had even crossing a tiger with a lion and they are the same species, why would we believe we evolved from a single cell ameba? I know several people who I believe to only have a single cell brain, but that’s an entirely different blog.
We can clone a sheep and from what I read on the internet we’re close to being able to clone other things, but if man evolved from apes, why aren’t there still half ape half man people walking around? Wouldn’t different people have evolved at different rates? Why are birds classified as birds and why can’t we breed them to dogs? If evolution was more than a theory, shouldn’t there be dragons with big leathery wings flying around and would they be classified as birds or reptiles? Shouldn’t there be half dog half chickens walking around? Why are species so incredibly different from each other and they can’t be combined? Is it possible the theory of evolution is just that, a theory?
Reanna is working on a science project. She chose the idea herself and she has compiled the information daily. She has a friend working on the project with her and I’m excited she chose this particular friend. She is the opposite of Reanna in every way and sometimes that kind of science is better than the project, but again, another blog. Mary Ellen is not top of the class in most subjects. She is a very active child and imaginative. She is just the kind of friend Reanna needs.
For their science project, they decided to see if putting golf balls in the nest boxes of the chickens would change where the chickens lay their eggs. Their theory was the chickens would lay more eggs where there were more golf balls. After keeping track and checking the nest box every day they have an answer.
The theory is based on safety. You see, chickens stick together and always return to the same place to sleep. They like the comfort in having a safe place to return. When they start laying their eggs, they go to where others have laid eggs because they see safety in it.
When we first got chickens we were told to put some golf balls in the next boxes. It lets the chickens know it’s safe to lay there. They will continue to lay where the golf balls are. That was the basis of Reanna’s theory. But you know what proverbs says about theories? Proverbs 18:17 NIV The first to present his case seems right till another comes forward and questions him. Reanna was questioning this theory and she came up with a different answer. Instead of the birds laying where the most or the least golf balls are, she found that the chickens actually have favorite next boxes with or without golf balls. It didn’t matter to them if there were 6 golf balls or none. They have certain boxes they like and certain boxes they don’t like. So the theory that they will lay more eggs where there are more golf balls seems right until another comes forward and questions.
Have you thought about evolution that way? It’s a theory. The big bang theory is based on all matter was once non existent and when all matter began to form it all formed in one dot. The dot included everything that exists and was no larger then the head of a pin. When every star, every planet and all matter came to be on the head of this pin it began to spin. It spun so fast it exploded. That’s your big bang. I think it is a huge leap of faith to believe something this outrageous. If something is spinning and it spins really fast and explodes, everything that explodes from it, will travel in the same direction. Why then does Venus rotate backwards?
Then add millions and millions of years and on one little planet in the middle of billions of galaxies life began with a single cell. That single cell split and grew and morphed and changed and became every plant and every animal we know. Wow, that’s another huge leap of faith to think that a turnip and a cow are all formed from the same single cell ameba. If everything is the same, then shouldn’t every plant and animal and person have the same DNA? How do we each get different DNA if we’re all the same?
I think it takes a lot less faith to say there is one creator and the creator spoke and it came to be. I can’t believe all the dirt on this planet and all the stars in the sky were once all the size of the head of a pin. You might say, I think it takes a pinhead to believe this. If I’m going to have faith, I’m going to have faith in something else.
So I’d like to ask a question that is asked in 1 Corinthians chapter 1:19 NIV
For it is written
I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
The intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.
Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
So wise man and scholar, where are the animals that should still be forming? Why aren’t there monkeys with feathers? Why can you not find the link between a turnip and a cow? Why can’t we breed dogs and cats and birds and plants together?
Why don’t buffalos really have wings?
If you’ve believed the big bang theory or evolution, God has made foolish the wisdom of the world.
So we ask, which came first the chicken or the egg?
On the sixth day God said, “let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind. And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
“According to their kinds is why we can’t cross a snake and a zebra although if you’ve read other blogs this one might be debatable.
After God created the animals the reproduced. This answers the question. Which came first… The chicken of course.
