Random Thought 105 - Which Comes First: the Chicken or the Egg?

This is the inside of a chicken during its fertile state.  The taste of the undeveloped eggs are the same just like the ones we used to eat regardless of the way they are prepared.

Time and again, we might be hearing the exchange of ideas about the order of creation between the chicken and the egg.  The chicken comes from the egg and the egg comes from the chicken.  But which one really comes first, the chicken or the egg?

If we are going to consider the creation based on the bible, there was no line that goes "Let there be eggs and from the eggs came forth different animals including the chicken."  But some will always inject the idea about the creation of the very first man which got eggs and not chicken.  Thus, the egg comes first.  (I hope you'll not be offended about this writing because I also happened to hear this one every time there is a friendly discourse between the chicken and the egg.  But it does not follow that men came from chicken, if you know that I mean) ;-)

But for a more serious note regarding this concern, someone shared to me a wisdom worth sharing likewise.  The chicken comes first before the egg.  Why?  The chicken, in all its form, is considered a perfect creation.  Thus, something that will come out from what is conceived to be a perfect creation will always be regarded as something perfect or good.  

On the other hand, the egg is not yet considered as the final form of the chicken and is not considered a perfect creation.  Along the line of turning the egg into a chicken, different possibilities may take place which will not guarantee that a chicken may indeed be created as anticipated.  The idea then is, how can you create something perfect from a not yet perfect creation?
