Lane3,

That is extreme conjecture.
It is unprovable and unknowable.
Belongs in the category of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, Godel's incompleteness theorem, Turing's undecidability problem etc etc
Science hits certain uncrossable limits in almost every field and this imo is one of them.

The problem with that egg is it needs a mate!

>>ut if you believe in evolution, it's clear that once upon a time there were two animals that we wouldn't quite consider chickens, that those not-quite-chickens mated, that an egg was laid, and that out of that fertilized egg hatched the first animal that meets whatever our definition of chicken is.

In other words, the egg came first.<<

I've always seen it that way.

But then again...
