Chicken and the Egg

Which came first the chicken or the egg? The chicken and the egg is one of life's oldest questions. The days of fighting on the playgrounds of which one really came first are over, but the question remains the same. Which came first the chicken or the egg? Just look at the question, it is a very tough one. How can a chicken arrive without an egg? How can an egg arrive without a chicken? Many people have varied opinions on this, my opinion is that the chicken came first due to many logical findings. Although there are many variables out there for any one person to make a definite decision on which came first. Maybe this question just isn't made to be solved. It could be just one of life's questions, around for the sole purpose to bring meaning to other unanswerable questions. I will show why I believe that the chicken came first and why some people do see that the egg came first.
The chicken and the egg, which one actually came first? Well when I asked some more older people of the community when they thought this question had débuted, the resounding answer I received was it has been around

Thomas, 2 forever. Well I know that nothing has been here forever, ...

  • The Eggs of the World Boiled Down

    728 Words  | 2 Pages

    In The Eggs of the World, Toshio Mori writes about 3 men meeting, one rich, one a poor drunkard, and the narrator. The point of view Toshio Mori uses in this story is peripheral first person. This use of a somewhat uncommon way of writing and viewing a story gives a look at events that is objective while not being unfeeling. Peripheral first person gives balance between personal stake in the matter, but not so much as to lose objective view. This viewpoint also gives new looks on the characters surrounding the author, giving both personal opinion and removed observation. Lastly, peripheral 1st person gives a twist on which facts may or may not be included in a narrative. In The Eggs of the World the use of peripheral 1st person influences the characterization and either including or omitting specific facts while balancing between personal involvement and objective observation.

  • Primordial Sour Theory Essay

    524 Words  | 2 Pages

    The primordial Soup theory was discovered in 1920. According to the Russian scientist A.I. Oparin and English Geneticist J.B.S. Haldane life started in a warm pond/ocean in a process that took place 3.8 billion years ago. A combination of chemicals made fatty acids which made protein. In this process a molecule was born in the atmosphere. The molecule was energized with lightning and rain making “organic soup”. The first organisms would have to be simple heterotrophs in order to survive.

  • Origin Of Species Dbq

    1162 Words  | 3 Pages

    The theory of origin of species by Darwin came out in 1859, and how our world really began has been a controversial topic throughout time. Darwin hypothesized that all species originated from one or more original beings. For example, Darwin claimed humans have evolved from apes. This theory challenged the prevailing view at that time, and was questioned by the fields of science and religion. Nevertheless, in the 156 years after the theory was published, the debate continues on how the world has been created. People from different fields tried to use scientific, biblical and theoretical evidence to prove their viewpoint. Based on different viewpoints, people have provided different reasons for the origin of life.

  • Life and Death

    1197 Words  | 3 Pages

    When a woman gets pregnant, she and her partner make a serious decision whether they should give birth to the unborn child or abort it. However, sometimes every couple can have a different outlook about giving birth or aborting because every male and female has his or her ways of thinking. In “Hills Like White Elephants,” the author, Ernest Hemingway tells a story of an American man and his girlfriend, Jig, who have a disagreement in the train station on the subject of whether to keep the unborn child or to abort. However, the author uses binary opposition of life and death to portray the polemic argument a couple encounters regarding abortion. As a symbol for the binary opposition of life and death, he represents the couple’s expressions, feelings, and the description of nature.

  • History of Chemistry through the Ages

    792 Words  | 2 Pages

    The history of chemistry dates back to the time of ancient history to now. Ancient civilizations used technologies that would eventually form the basis of the various branches of chemistry by 1000 BC. For example, they were extracting chemicals from plants to make medicines. The history of chemistry is intertwined with the history of thermodynamics. Chemistry is very important to our world today. Without it, we wouldn’t be near as advanced as we are. Let’s take scientists for example. The scientists at St. Jude children’s research hospital; everyday they are working to find the cure to various types of cancer by mixing different chemicals and making various compounds to somehow help all the children with the big C word today. Chemistry plays a big role in things we would never think of.

  • The Invention of the Cell Phone

    996 Words  | 2 Pages

    In society today it is very rare to find someone who does not own a cell phone. There are ten year old children running around with iPhones. Cell phones have become such an important part of society. They have come along way with the advancements made in technology to allow these phones to do more than you would think possible. We now not only use them to contact people, but use them for social media, to take pictures, surf the web, and get information at the touch of our fingers. It is crazy to think that at one point there were no cell phones. Without the use of chemistry we would not have the cell phones that we use today. Chemistry is defined by the Holt Modern Chemistry textbook as the scientific study of the composition, structure, and properties of matter and the changes that matter undergoes. Chemistry is responsible for the batteries that are in all our our cell phones. Without these batteries there would be no phone. The battery is the main power source of the phone and without it then the phone would not work.

Therefore, scientists all over the world study organic compounds for research to get as many benefits as they can and to stop the harmful effects of using organic compounds. Scientists test how food should be stored and prepared so we do not get sick. Nutritionists study the proper diet for maximum chemical processes in the body. Environmental scientists show how human activity affects the environment. Forensic scientists test samples from people, plants and soil to find contamination or poisons. Even in the jungles of the Amazon, the people know how to use organic compounds to heal sicknesses. They may not call it organic chemistry, but essentially it is the same thing, the study of carbon compounds. As long as there is life on earth, there will always be a place for organic chemistry.

  • Chemistry Essay

    1217 Words  | 3 Pages

    This science is directly associated with chemistry through different concepts and applications. In order to be successful this division of science, a biochemist needs to have a strong understanding of atomic structure in various molecules and elements. They need to be able to understand the structure of the diverse molecules that they are working with and should be able to predict the outcome of certain chemical reactions. Furthermore, biochemists should be just as aware of certain molecules and substances that would not react well together. Ultimately, one of the biggest factors in biochemistry is being able to balance the molecules of the substance that is being created. However, biochemists not only need to be sure that the substance they are creating is balanced, but the substance created balances when combined with living organisms. If the substance created reacts poorly with the chemicals within a living organism, the outcome could very dangerous. Since there are important concepts a biochemist needs to understand, there are some specific chemistry concepts that they must apply. A basic concept they must know, as previously stated, is stoichiometry. Stoichiometry is vital to biochemists because they need to know how to balance certain substances to achieve the reaction they want. Since they are also working on the molecular
