God has no problem with chickens and eggs, just pop open that dusty old King
James and look at Genesis 1:21-22

And God created great whales and every living creature that moveth, which the
waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his
kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be Fruitful
and multiply and fill the waters in the seas and let fowl multiply in the earth.

This answers the great question, what came first, the chicken or the egg, it was the
chicken!
