What Came First.......


...the chicken or the egg?

Job 12:7 says. "But ask, now, the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee."

Amazing. It certainly takes more faith to believe in evolution than in creation.

The egg has 10,000 pores in it to let in air. It has three parts - the shell, the yolk, and the white. When you hard boil an egg, you notice an airpocket in one end. That air pocket has actually gotten smaller each day. The chick is in the egg for 16 days and on the 17th day, uses it's special tooth to attempt to hatch the egg. It has 6 hours to accomplish this or the air space will be too small for the chicken. That 'substance' between the egg and the shell is not to help the egg peel easier. It actually connected 3 membranes that attached to the chicken.

With evolution do you know how many eggs a chicken would have to lay to get an egg with 10,00o pores so that the chick inside could survive? Now I ain't the brightest bulb in the box, baby, but I know that chicken would be long gone before that could happen.

Creation. What a marvelous thing that we witness each day. Through it we see a little bit more of God and learn or His order and preciseness. Yes, the beasts, fowls, and fish certainly do teach us and how I love those lessons.
