It is common for people to ask ourselves various questions throughout our existence, and some of them are difficult for us to know the answer to. Today we will solve one of the most common questions which is about the egg and the chicken and the egg. Keep reading and let's solve this great curiosity!
Who laid the first egg? If it was a chicken, where did it come from? For these questions, there are two answers: a scientific one and a religious one. Let's see what each of them says and you decide which one you believe.
What does science say?
According to scientists from the University of Queensland in Australia, as well as from the NÉEL Institute in France, it has been proven through quantum physics that both the egg and the chicken are the first.
"The strangeness of quantum mechanics means that events can happen without a set order," mentioned physicist Jacqui Romero, from the ARC Center for Quantum Engineering Systems at the University of Queensland.
She mentioned, as an example, the fact that a person can commute to work daily by train and bus. "Let's take the example of commuting to work, where you travel part by bus and part by train. Normally, you would take the bus and then the train, or vice versa. In our experiment, both events can happen first and that is known as 'indefinite causal order', it is not something we observe in our daily life," she added.
What does religion say?
For this point, it is important to know that we need to read a verse from the first book of the Bible: Genesis 1:20-22, because here is the answer to our mystery.
He said, "Let the waters produce living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky." So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters teem according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth."
As we can read, the birds multiplied on earth, which would answer us that the chicken was the one who came first from this point of view.
