He wouldn't bother doing it himself, he'd just send his little midget princling to do it for him.

But the Prince would just roll the egg around into everything. And since it's not a Katamari, it would smash, and the King would be upset.

Or maybe it would pick things up--a sumo wrestler did, after all.

Ah, but this was about keeping them warm, not about fertilizing them.

What, you mean a ton of industrial fertilizer wouldn't do the trick?

According to my recollection of Genesis, neither Adam nor Eve wore any clothing. This suggests a warm place.

Eh? The discussion here was about needing a chicken to hatch the eggs, not where the eggs come from...

(To answer your question: the first eggs grew on a tree, next to infrared lamps - didn't you know? )

the topic is about which came first the chicken or the egg so i was trying to prove that you need a chicken to lay a chicken egg, so to you

But you need a chicken egg to get a chicken

(as I mentioned above, appealing to divine/magical creation of chickens doesn't help since eggs can also be created the same way)

I retract my previous statement. This came first.

this goes back to what someone said about what you consider a chicken egg and whether you consider a chicken egg an egg laid by a chicken, or an egg that contains a chicken

Interesting distinction. The logic branches two ways now. (And, for some reason, this reminds me of Kinder Surprises. )

My take is that since the evolution of the egg must've happened sometime after the species that made the egg had evolved, the chicken came first.

Those two don't always go hand in hand Bunches. I'm a Christian and I don't automaticly assume that the chicken came first.

Also, what kind of Christian? It's not hard to imagine schisms forming over which came first. (It's an important theological question. I'm serious.

I am!)

Well, I could say they also cover all my beliefs.

Then again, I don't believe in anything religious and I've quit catholicism 10+ years ago...

If you start thinking about it, it may be possible that the chicken came before the egg. (If you think that the egg in question is an egg made by a chicken) As at the moment that Evolution makes the "choice" to make the first "real" chicken, you can't know if the first egg which holds the "first" chicken really holds a living chicken . If the first "chicken" is born, together with a "second" chicken, you can conclude that the first and the second eggs aren't "chicken Eggs". as the first "Real" chicken egg must be made by REAL chickens!!

Conclusion: The chicken was first.

I know the answer to this one, bu I'm uncertain as I learnt it years ago.

It's either a dinosaur or a panda?
