Christians and believers having read in Genesis that the world was created already old

They must be reading it in the emanations from the penumbra, then, because they certainly aren't reading any such thing in the actual text.

that the chicken came first with the egg inside it, that the fruit tree was created mature with the fruit on the limbs and the seed inside the fruit

This is the quintessential case of an untestable hypothesis. One could assert that the world was created fifteen minutes ago, complete with memories and physical traces of fifteen billions years of nonexistent history, and no one could possibly prove the notion wrong (or right).

Please refer to Genesis 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth, and it was so.

So the Chicken came first, is my point. Everything created mature and ready to bear fruit after it's own kind. The herb created already yielding seed, the first fruit trees, already yielding fruit, with it's seed in itself. The Earth mature and ready to provide the soil and nutrients needed.

Many people make the same mistake as you, of just skimming over the scriptures rather than acutally taking in what is being taught.
