Chicken or the Egg

A "chicken and egg" proposal is the classic example of a circular process, with no beginning or end. Yet this analogy is flawed from the start. Chickens have not been around since the beginning of time, so the whole process has to start somewhere. So how did the very first chicken arise? Two almost-evolved-into-chickens-but-not-quite-there parents laid an EGG, containing the first true chicken. The egg did indeed proceed the chicken.
Some, however, might vehemently argue that an egg containing a fully evolved chicken must be laid by an equally evolved chicken. Genetically, this makes sense. The argument that a non-chicken cannot beget a chicken is a very reasonable one, but it has one logical fallacy. Mutations in gene replication make the offspring more than just a product of the parents. They are the root of all diversity on earth. One minute mutation is what distinguished the true chicken from all other small clucking flightless avea. That one mutation first appeared in an egg.
Others will argue that evolution does not exist at all, so the first chicken was placed on earth as a chicken, and there have always been chickens, and the whole argument of the egg is therefore ludicrous. There are more than one fallacies with this point of view, but these reasons have been so often repeated and so little heeded by those of this point of view, it does not seem worth saying them again. For those who do believe in evolution, however, there can be no question as to the true beginning of this circle.
