Whenever I get asked about the chicken and egg problem, my mind invariably wanders back to those precursors of both chickens and eggs, namely the dinosaurs.
I heard about a lot of this stuff back in high school. I spent a good portion of two weeks reading about the evolutionary processes that occured between birds and whales and all other animals in between.
Evolution is why the answer to the question of which came first is: Egg.
Notwithstanding that dinosaurs laid eggs long before there ever were chickens, if we limit the discussion to which came first, a chicken or a chicken egg…..
A dinosaur laid an egg. In that egg was an embryo. That embryo mutated during the development process. When the egg hatched, we had our first chicken.
If the Egg came first then you would need to have had 2 eggs that mutated exactly the same, one being female and one male (to allow reproduction) and for them to be in the same area… whats the chances 1:10000000000000000… and that had to happen for EVERY species… wow. maths took a millenia off to allow all this miraculus evolution.. it just dosn't stack up mathematically.
I just dont have FAITH in this new scientific religion…
That's why one doesn't need to have "faith" in science – it's not faith based, it's knowledge based. When one doesn't fully understand what's going on with something (gravitation, evolution, and so forth) a scientist forms a hypothesis and then tests it. If evidence come along that contradicts the accepted wisdom, a scientist will re-think and, if necessary, change his opinion as to what's really going on. That's totally a good thing.
The question about birds and dinosaurs is one in which, to 99%, all scientists agree, including, in essence, the referenced article. Dinosaurs and birds both are ancient, both lived contemporaneously, and both share many, many features. The subtle question that's being argued here is whether they evolved from a common ancestral root or whether one led to the other.
I have 14 TwitterBudgies – does that count?

It's a really neat idea on the surface, but all I can think of is Jurassic Park. Let the chickens be chickens; they look like they do for a reason.

Budgies? Sure – they're nano-dinos.
Anjanette – And if they did it I bet the dinosaurs would just taste like chicken anyway …
Ed – Excellent! So your high school provided a quality education – not so common anymore!

Or less precisely, The Egg, whatever laid the egg, was not chicken, but what came out was…..

Sientists now say birds NOT from Dinos!!!
They keep changing their mind…lol
