It would be interesting to know how many folks have heard the saying, “What came first, the chicken or the egg?” I believe that this saying is designed to extinguish or at least cause doubts and confusion concerning one’s belief in the creation about which we read in the Word of God (Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God…”).
This old saying allows one to ask a few questions concerning evolution and creation. Consider these questions even though they are nonsensical.
1. Has anyone seen or can fantasize of an egg creating itself? In other words, can a chicken egg develop without a chicken?
2. We wonder as the egg started to create itself, did the shell become whole before the yoke or did the yoke develop first?
In order to believe an egg or the chicken made itself is to believe in the doctrine of spontaneous generation. Sadly, some will believe anything in order to reject our Creator. “One has only to contemplate the magnitude of this task to concede that the spontaneous generation of a living organism is impossible. Yet here we are—as a result, I believe, of spontaneous generation.” (Wald, George. The Origin of Life 270 qtd. in That Their Words May Be Used Against Them 51 by Henry M. Morris).
Common sense must be applied! “For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God” (Hebrews 3:4 KJV).
