Well, I'm thinking that if the chicken never came, the egg would never have been fertilized.

Read the bible - Greatest historical book ever.

Genesis 1: 20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 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.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

So since the birds and animals came first the chicken was before the egg.

According to National Geographic, scientists say that reptiles were laying eggs thousands of years before chickens appeared, and the first chicken came from an egg laid by a bird that was not quite a chicken. That seems to answer the question. The egg came first.

So what came first? The Reptile or the egg?

I suggest you read up on your Math. You can not define a number that has a repeating decimal as having a finite end.

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/RepeatingDecimal.html

As soon as you say it ends in a 1, you can not saying repeating 0's.

I never understood the point of this argument, because anyone with a studied outlook on the origins of species and life knows better. Is this question just theological bullshit, or does it exist only to start arguments and exercise debating skills?

In either case, the question itself is asinine.

Hmm I never thought to involve theology in discussion of eggs and chickens.

No, I understand what you are saying, it's just stupid and pointless and not even valid math.

The chicken and the egg is a valid question... but .0000...0001 is stupid.

.9999... is a valid number.
.000...0001 isn't.

It's simple.

*woosh* you just missed the point yet again. Keep working at math though and maybe you'll prove P=NP.

It's quite simple. I accidentally the whole zero repeating.

Great explanation...

I'm just going to go with you're a dumbass on this one.

.000...0001 is not valid, never has and never will be. You can't say something has an infinite number of something followed by something else, that's changing the definition of infinity.
