Freudian slip?!

Also. Atheists are just like religious people. All based on faith. You gotta be a wimpy and be agnostic like me!

Choose a side you sissy!

I believe in logic.

What came first, the chicken or the egg?
The egg. Dinosaurs laid eggs, and dinosaurs came before chickens!

More specific:
What came first the chicken or the chicken egg?
The chicken. For the egg to be called a chicken egg, it would have to have come from a chicken!

I voted, yes, because I don't believe in in a god. If religion was cool like the Greek Deity's, then maybe I would be religious.

I actually believe the egg came first. The first chicken had to hatch from an egg.

If a turkey came out of a chicken egg, would it be called a chicken, or a turkey?

Err, I see your point. My point is more of a generic egg that had to spawn the chicken. At some point in evolution it went from being whatever to being a chicken, and its egg came before it. I think both sides are easily arguable.

Yes. I'm very open-minded towards problems like this. Except when the argument is completely retarded.

Agnostic.

A chicken is a certain somewhat specific set of DNA codes, resulting in the chicken's speicies. However, as mutations occur in the gametes, not in a multicellular animal, it is far more likely that the egg came first, unless every single cell in the entire pre-chicken mutated all at once to create a chicken, which is very unlikely.

As per the topic. I am an atheist. Dividing Atheists up into Diests, Atheists, and Agnostics is like dividing the answer to the question, "What type of car do you own?" - 'I don't own a car' into: 'I'm an enviromentalist', 'I haven't looked at the selection of available cars', and 'I would like to purchase a car, but haven't'. I'd consider all those groups to be one: "I don't own a car" i.e. "I'm not a part of a religion".

Yes, my analogy is somewhat difficult to understand, but if you read it a couple times you might get it.

I get it, interesting analogy . After reading about deists they seemed a little bit different to me, but I'd still agree that they're all part of a similar category.

About the egg, it all depends on how you define 'chicken egg'. A chicken egg could be an egg that will hatch into a chicken, or an egg that was laid by a chicken.

And I am a Strong Atheist. As in, I deny the existence of any 'supreme being'. Just wanted to make that clear.

That question doesn't say anything about what kind of egg, though, so I would think that eggs came before chickens, unless chickens mutated from simple organisms that reproduced be meiosis and became the first creatures to lay eggs.

Atheist.

People still try to argue about what kind of egg it is. It needs to be made clear ):<

Ancient Bacteria came first, duh.

I'm open-minded about things, I believe there's a Tea Pot orbiting Mars at this moment.

It's not intended as a literal question in its purest form... the question fails in its purpose if you try to apply it to the real chicken vs egg scenario, as laser explains, it's not that hard to figure out.

@Laser: you're analogy is easy to understand + it's a good one.


That's ridiculous. I believe it to be orbiting Saturn. Duh.

Most people don't believe that, yunno.

I'm a Christian, and I believe in the seven day creation. Evolution is completely irrational, and I'm ready to back that up.

And, of course, if evolution isn't true...

You think evolution is irrational, but an omnipotent being creating the universe in six days isn't? That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard.
