  1. You would think so, and you would be right until you figured out that true omnipotence brings impotence. It's a game of not exercising your powers, and rather influencing those around you. Very much like C-Level office politics. You rule the world, seas will rise when you give the word, and how many people need to die so that you can fish from your balcony?

    What came first? the egg or the chicken?

    The egg.
    The life cycle of a chicken begins with the egg, results in procreation to produce more eggs, and eventually the death of the organism. Ergo, a "chicken" to this argument is viewed from the point of the egg.
    Applying evolution, one must define a strict categorization of what a chicken is. Once that is established, there is no "slippery slope" logical fallacy, and you can determine, in binary, what came first on the life cycle, as a chicken.
    An "almost chicken" laid a mutated "almost chicken" egg, which is now classed as a chicken. Ergo, the mutated "almost chicken" egg is the world's first chicken egg, which becomes the first chicken.
