Chicken or the Egg?

Since this is my first post, i'm gonna start with something i've already written. This is my magnum opus, the Marcus Aurelius of Julius Caesar and the Primus Blogus of my blogs. So.. here goes..

which came first? the egg? or the chicken?

i believe i have the correct answer to that.. u have
to follow my logic to see why..

evolution. it is a slow gradual process of several
million years. it is clearly apparent that the single
celled amoeba did not jus wake up one day and find out
it had more than one cell. similarly, a monkey did not
fall from a tree and land as a neandarthal. therefore,
evolution is a process that is so slow, that its
effects are only seen from one generation to the
other.

Let us assume that an animal X is the ancestor of the
chicken.. now, we know that X cannot directly morph
into a chicken (discarding unnatural mutation theories
here) , hence X gradually turned into a chicken..
meaning that every subsequent generation of X had more
chicken - like characteristics.. lets go forward to
the last generation where we clinically say that the
next generation is goin to be the chicken. it is
clearly apparent that the last generation of X will
lay an EGG that will foster within itself a complete
chicken.. the egg cannot mutate as such and any
evolutionary changes occur before the egg is hatched
and are reflected in the egg.

therefore, the last evolutionary change that
signalled the transformation of X into a chicken,
happens during the hatching of the egg with the
result that the egg containing the characteristics of
a complete chicken is hatched.

as u can see, the egg comes before the chicken. man..
is there a nobel for biology or something!!!????
