Which came first , the chicken or the egg ?
Thought of this while in an airport lounge....so if my answer's sub -par, my apologies.....here goes.
If all chickens come from eggs,and all eggs come from chickens,then we have quite the logical conundrum.
If we re-formulate the question,we get the following (arrows indicate progenitor->progeny)
''What comes first, X when X->Y or Y when Y->X? Now ,granted that was taken from Wikipedia( here's the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_or_the_egg#Responses_to_the_dilemma),but what it illustrates is that there is no proper,logical answer because the question is in a sense absurd(but not paradoxical because it does not illustrate a deeper truth;look up the definition of paradox).How do you define order of succession when both parameters compete for the status of initial progenitor? Either you say they both come first (notice the use of ''come'' not ''came'') or you consider the question an absurd and thus pointless one.
#addendum! : you cannot consider the order of succession at a certain point in the reproductive cycle;that is just dumb
#addendum !!: the question can be reformulated in another,nerdier way ''Which came first mitosis or fertilization?''
#addendum !!!: There are other versions of the question that are applicable to the sciences (especially computer science,here's a quick link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_reference)
#addendum !!!! : I'm not in my right mind so my thought aren't organized,as ever this rather large paragraph was merely my attempt to furnish an answer ; for those whose appetite is not sated,I would advise a careful reading of the following pages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_or_the_egg
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradoxe_de_l%27%C5%93uf_et_de_la_poule)->reading Wikipedia in different languages offers different perspectives and overall ,more information.
#addendum !!!!!: I just realized I'm not right in the head,and I don't care.#yolo#swag#hashtaglove
