Which came first, the chicken or the egg?<\/p>\n
Are you forgetting not to count those chickens before they hatch?
\nThe egg comes first, if you believe in evolution.
\nThe proto-chicken laid an egg with a true chicken in it,
\nbut it was not the first chicken until it hatched.
\nIf it did not hatch, only the egg existed,
\nand only the egg with the first successful chicken counts-
\nif you are an evolutionist.
\nJust don’t crack that egg to make an omelet.
\nFry no egg before its time or the process may leave the chicken out.<\/p>\n
If, however, you are a creationist,
\nyou count those chickens before they even lay their eggs.
\nThe fist chicken was created,
\nwithout the special spices and herbs perhaps,
\nbut with both dark and light meat,
\nready for the plucking and the frying.
\nIn its spare time it laid eggs that hatched
\ninto scrumtious little potential fryers.
\nYou still can’t count on those eggs hatching successfully,
\nbut you can count the eggs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
