literally no one in the world means that when they talk about chicken vs egg. what a weird way to look at the world.
also citation needed on religion saying god proofed chicken into existence without the egg.
It made Fox News in 2015.
A biology paper that same year.
Religious people seem to care.
More religious people care.
Biologists have been talking about it.
BBC Science covered it.
I didn’t pull this out of my arse.
And re: that citation you asked for:
—Answers In Genesis
first of all kudos on the citations; thank you for your effort.
I don't think these prove that the question is about religion vs science. the question is philosophical, and the fact that some religious people have a take on it that doesn't agree with what would be the scientific/technical answer doesn't make it about religion vs science.
if a tree falls and no one around to hear it, does it make a sound? that would also have a scientific answer, and depending on the religion, you may have a religious argument that disagrees with the scientific answer. the question would remain a philosophical one, and not one of science vs religion.
I wasn’t trying to prove the question is about religion vs science; I was responding to the previous comment that said:
My links show lots of people in the world say that. Not everyone, but enough that it does come up sometimes.
There are multiple facets and perspectives in every philosophical question.
