The chicken or the egg is a philosophical question regarding evolution and the birth of a chicken. The question has been cited by many scholars and has until 2010 been debated by scholars and the general public.
Origin of the Chicken[edit]
Gallus gallus domesticus or chicken, Originated in southeast Asia. Closely relating to a Gallus gallus or red junglefowl.
Darwinist View[edit]
The Darwin approach has been that chickens evolved from a common ancestor of the modern chicken. The process of a chicken egg becoming fertile is completed when a male sperm cell meets the female egg cell, creating a zygote, the first cell of a new chicken. The cell then divides many times into a mature chick ready to hatch. Chickens evolved from non-chickens by mutations of DNA and multiple mutations created a new zygote that was the modern chicken.[1]
Creationist View[edit]
"On Day Five of Creation Week, God created 'every winged bird according to its kind'" (Genesis 1:21). This assumption presumes that the bird was first, therefore, the bird would lay the egg that would become the chicken.[2]
Recent Investigations[edit]
In a paper published 10 June, 2010. Titled Structural Control of Crystal Nuclei by an Eggshell Protein. Research was conducted that determined a protein found only in a chicken's ovaries is necessary for the formation of the egg.[3]
