Chicken and Egg Problem Solved

Java Pimp writes "It seems scientists and philosophers now agree which came first. The Egg. From the CNN article: 'Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal's life. Therefore the first bird that evolved into what we would call a chicken, probably in prehistoric times, must have first existed as an embryo inside an egg. Professor John Brookfield, a specialist in evolutionary genetics at the University of Nottingham, told the UK Press Association the pecking order was clear.' So, does this mean we can now show P=NP?"

It's so sad that people disregard the Bible (special creation) and rely on theories like evolution.

Creationism is also one of many theories. That's the funny thing about theories, they are not fact unless proven with irrefutable evidence.

The Bible has been proven the most historically accurate book ever,

No. It has not been proven the most historically accurate book ever. Who has proven it? When was this proven? If it is the most historically accurate book ever, why can't the hundreds of Christian sects agree on what it is trying to say? I would say that's open for interpretation.

while evolution is full of contradictory ideas which do not work out.

Such as? Could you please give a citation? There are two schools of thought: micro and macro evolution. Which one contradicts itself? How does it condradict itself?

The Bible says that birds and animals were created on the fifth and sixth day.

Birds were created on the fifth day. Humans were created on the sixth. What human was there on the fifth day to see if the chickens hatched or just appeared? If God says, "Let there be light.", and there is nobody to hear it. Does God make a sound?
