    They're all equally loathed. In my case anyway. Especially when the religious distort facts to suit their own means, in a manner conducive to belief in their moronic ideas.

    Kind of like you did.

    I'm no university graduate but I'm going to put this to you, do you really believe that the world started from a pea?

    I imagine Catholicism gets the most stick after everything that has happened in the church even though the religion itself wasn't at fault, it was the people who ran the Church who were at fault.

    Ah right.

    I don't 'hate' any religion or its believers and just find people who do to be small-minded and usually ignorant.

    I wasn't serious in the first place but I understand where this thread might go if I decide to answer yes so I'm going to answer no and take what I still have.

    The egg came first.

    Anyone got any actual explanation?

    When it comes to a chicken and a egg I expect Science to do extensive research to solve the mystery.

    Obviously it was the chicken. Single celled, non-egg-laying organisms evolved into fish things, which then evolved into crawling fish things, which then evolved into walking and flying things which reproduced and gave birth either internally or externally with eggs. The egg-laying creature had to have come first for the egg to even exist, unless you believe a ****ing shell was created through evolution or some extraordinary act of 'God'.

    Well imagine you had a chicken in front of you, and with it the last million generations of its ancestry in a line. Now imagine walking down that line and looking at each one. At which point does it stop being a chicken?

    The point is that if you were to skip 1,000 generations, it would look noticeably different. But when it's a continual stream of minor changes, who can say when Chickens as we now know them arose?

    (Ignoring of course the fact that human intervention has resulted in us being familiar almost solely with fat, juicy bastards that you don't find in nature)
