Today, I presented my child with the classic "Who came first, the chicken or the egg?" conundrum. In return, I got a detailed lecture on how birds evolved from dinosaurs, how life was created in the sea and an explanation about evolution. I got schooled by a 9 year old. FML

Exactly. And people assume the kid would be dumb for even knowing about creationism.

not really about knowing it..believing it is what would be considered dumb. Did I clear up the confusion now? Good.

how do you know there's not a higher power and that evolution isn't by design which would make both theories right? Religion didn't just pop out of people's imaginations people aren't that smart no one woke up and said hey let's make up a story about the world and **** over what people think for thousands of years. For all we know the god or gods of religions are sentient aliens. and if you did any real research you'd find there are three species of aliens documented by the American government

Oh no, my kid is smart. Somehow I don't see this as an FML.

he/she did not answer the question originally posed

According to the child, the egg came before the chicken because dinosaurs laid eggs and chickens evolved from dinosaurs. That was his/ her answer.

thanks for the clarification. technically, though, that's not a valid answer, since the transition from dinosaur to chicken was not a sudden one. in other words, the dinosaur did not lay an egg, which then suddenly hatched into a chicklet.

Let's lengthen it then. Dinosaur lays egg, dinosaur comes out. Dinosaur lays egg, Dinosaur which somehow got feathers instead of scales comes out. Since the feathers keep it from freezing to death in the long dark prehistoric night the freak Dino finds a chance to get laid, lays an egg and a slightly more "chickeny" Dino comes out. Repeat for a couple hundred generations and what comes out and what comes out of the egg can't even be called a Dino anymore. More a not-quite-chicken-yet-bird-thing. After mating with another not-quite-chicken-yet-bird-thing it lays an egg and out pops a chicken. So if you define egg as an egg a chicken comes out off, the egg came first. If you define egg as a chicken that came out of an egg I just wasted 15 minutes typing this on my phone. But hey, at least not-quite-chicken-yet-bird-thing is in my autocorrect now.

Great point. Also that even knowing about creationism makes him/her dumb.

Let's get this straight since you've made this same comment a few times over already. Are you a creationist?

obviously...he's trying to make his point because everyone on here is attacking one theory that can't be proven with another that can't be proven. neither theory makes people dumb...Darwinism was already proven wrong and just replaced by a more updated version of how evolution happened...according to Darwinism if an animal suddenly found the need to fly it would sprout ******* wins
