Which came first? The chicken or the egg?

             Hello! This is the nightly news with your favorite reporter Leo. I have the scoop on one of the most debated topics in history. You may be thinking this will be a news article about if Han Solo or Greedo shot first, it isn’t.  This will all be about if it was the chicken or the egg that came first.  Instead of talking with experts, the Chickenists (who believe the chicken came first) and the Eggists (who believe the egg came first), I decided to go right to the true sources, chickens and eggs.

Leo: Chicken, I hear that you are the underdog in the chicken/egg struggle. Why should we support you?

Chicken: Cluck, cluck, bawk! Peck, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck cluck, cluck, bawk! Bawk! Bawk! Peck, peck.

 TRANSLATION: Impossible! Anyone should be able to see that I’m the most popular candidate! I laid the egg!

Leo: The egg knew you were going to say that and shared with me the following response:

“Well, the chicken laid the egg but that chicken came from that egg too”

Chicken: Cluck, cluck, bawk! Cluck, peck, peck, bawk!

TRANSLATION: I don’t care what that stupid egg says! The chicken laid the egg and that is that!

               After speaking with the chicken for awhile longer it became clear that there would be no changing of the chicken’s mind. I decided it was time to turn to the egg.

Leo: I hear you have the most votes and support in this struggle. Any vain comments?

Egg: …

Leo: Um, did you hear me?

Egg:…

Leo: Not talking, eh?

Egg:…

Leo: What if I said I as a chicken and I needed my opinion changed?

Egg: Fine, fine, fine. I’ll talk!

Leo: AH! I see that you have finally CRACKED.

Egg: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Frankly, I’m surprised you’re a Chickenist. I’m definitely the most popular in the struggle.

Leo: OK, that is true, but I came here to find out why you are the most popular, not for you to tell me that I should vote for you.

Egg: Here is why I came first. Every chicken or dinosaur or fish that we have evolved from came from an egg!

Leo: Well, what about the first organism? It was just created out of nowhere, right?

Egg: How do you know? Were you there when the first organism was created?

Leo: Well, no, but---

Egg: You weren’t there! You don’t know how the first organism was created!

Leo: But-

Egg: No buts! I came first!

                As you can see, each candidate has a very different point of view. As for the actual answer, the truth has yet to be revealed.
