who was born before, the egg or the chicken?

The egg. The chicken would have been a viable mutation hatched from an egg. Next question.

R1 is correct. A chicken did not just emerge from the ether. An egg emerged by way of molecular formation.

Did human beings come first or the sperm/egg?

THis belongs in the "God" thread. God. God made the eggs, the sperm, all of it. His Porn collection is vast.

R3, human beings were created by molecular formation as well. They did not emerge from the either either. We are no more special than any other living thing, or planet or universe.

Of course, we can all be artificial as well and exist on the software of a 14 year old pimply faced nerd. Either way.

Why? You can literally read one of many threads on DL where this is covered.

Neither as neither chickens nor eggs are "born."
