    God cre­ated the chicken then the chicken laid the egg.

    Jennifer Bogart [1] argued:

    I was con­fused about this one until I was saved! Then it was so sim­ple. In the Gen­e­sis account of cre­ation, God made all of the ani­mals fully formed, adult and ready to pro­cre­ate (just like Adam). So the first ani­mals (includ­ing chick­ens) then went on to pro­duce off­spring, includ­ing the chicks inside of the egg.

    As for argu­ment #1 on the right (aside from the total dis­be­lief in God, believe me, I’ve been there, and there’s always hope), muta­tions are never pos­i­tive in real life. Can the arguer pro­vide an exam­ple of a pos­i­tive muta­tion from real life, not from this pre­tend first mutated chicken that nobody ever saw? Muta­tions in the genetic code result in ‘devo­lu­tion’ not ‘evolution’.

    thew22 [1] argued:

    the first mod­ern chicken was a genetic muta­tion from another sim­i­lar bird (ie. it evolved from a sim­i­lar species) so when two of this sim­i­lar species mated, and cre­ated a mutated embryo (mod­ern chicken) it was first layed as an egg — then hatched as the first chicken, which went on to be more suc­cess­ful and spread it’s mutation.
