“The thing we call a “chicken” never developed as a mating pair, but hatched out as a combination of genes from its parents and ancestry.”

So the chicken was a mutant of some previous animal that laid eggs.

And so which came first the chickens progenitor or its eggs?

I’ll type slowly this time for you: the thing we call “chicken” came about from a mix of genes from parents which weren’t exactly what we call a “chicken,” and yes, this kind of “evolution” does happen in real life, but too slow for humans to follow or make the connections.

Just as modern wolves, horses, and many other mammals have NO representation in the paleological records past a few tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, but similar animals do.

What came FIRST was the egg, containing the completed - or close enough for chinese food - chicken.

I think we are reading you just fine. The confusion seems to be that you keep proving that that answer is the chicken then insist that the correct conclusion is the egg.

It doesn't seem to be worth arguing. Who cares about chickens? Then again, the question has nothing to do with chickens and is why people tend to get into arguments about it. Its political and the conclusion a person comes to and the way that person thinks that brought them to that conclusion is important.

Speaking of eggs, have you ever fried them up in Kerrygold butter?

I know all about bacon grease but Kerrygold butter is the way to go when frying eggs. No other butter will do!

The thing is about these quantum effects :

They work on a micro micro micro scale (the objects involved make an atom relatively the same size as the solar system).

The interactions happen constantly and are so numerous/frequent that they really are the vanilla soup the LARGER universe is built upon (its bit all averages out).

So its stupid and misleading to make believe that ‘your daily trip to work’ is any analogy. It is so divorced from our perceived world, that its like it is mealy the blank canvas everything greater is painted upon.

The train and bus analogy is a non sequitur. Quantum events can be ordered differently but in our spacetime the order is a deterministic chain. Quantum events are not confined to our spacetime ‘flow’.

Until you bump into a change in reality not easily explained elsewhere.

IMHO, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is an Intellectual Hurdle. Some accept it without thinking over it, while others refuse to travel through it without negotiating the implied hurdle.
