dainkinkaide 02/21/21 1:42:50 PM #9:	Gr8M8 posted... ~~Prokaryotes were the world's first organisms, appearing~~ ~~3.5 to 3.8 billion years ago.~~ This statement, though entirely factual, is irrelevant to the question asked. If the question were "What came first", then the options provided could be considered mere suggestions for answers (though this would be an extremely loose reading), but the use of "which" as a question word requires that the answer be chosen from the options provided in the question itself. As for the question that was actually asked in the topic title, it is heavily implied (though not explicit) that the "egg" referred to is that of a chicken, i.e. a "chicken egg", but this now asks the question of how one defines a "chicken egg". Is it an egg laid by a chicken (in which case the chicken came first) or is it an egg from which a chicken hatches (in which case the egg came first)? The definition of "chicken" is, of course, not in question, as we all know what a chicken is: a man with feathers. --- The problem with the internet today is that it's filled with entire generations that did not grow up with the great wisdom of the Wyld Stallyns. <cite>dainkinkaide posted [p:950911830] in Which came...
