Is an egg a chicken?

Hello Dutch Uncle,



But they are frequently the same humans who claim that humans are different from all other animals in that they believe humans have a special connection to an all-powerful creator/overseer who chooses not to exercise ultimate control, but rather watch humans struggle for existence, only to secretly admire the 'created' spectacle.

I would question why such a being would even create such a spectacle in the first place, (perhaps out of boredom?) and why such a being did nothing of the sort apparently for billions of years prior to doing so. Of course, no human can answer such a question, but even if one could, the next question I would pose would be: who or what created the creator? And why... With several spin-off questions like how exactly did mortal humans come to be in knowledge of a realm which exists only for the deceased when such stories had been circulated long before the 'chosen one' is said to have traveled back and forth between these realms. Erich Von Daniken has some interesting thoughts on the matter.

The Watchmaker God theory is my best guess.

There may be some biology flunkies here but I’m not one of them lol.

Actually, they know what it is they are denying.

Disagreed. Anyone who injects politics into a biology discussion doesn't know the difference between the two.

There is no room for sloppiness or mistakes in science.

An egg is no more a chicken than a seed is a plant.

Suppose you go to a garden center to buy some potted plants.

Would you pay the same for a pot with some soil in it, into which a seed has been placed, or a pot with a nice lush green plant?

Of course not.

They are not the same thing.

In this thread, I picture myself as the customer wanting a potted plant, and you as the store worker trying to explain that a pot with soil and a seed is 'the same thing based on science.'

And then I picture myself walking out and going to a different store.

It’s just a fact that a chicken embryo *is a chicken* in an early stage of development.
