The theory of evolution states that species change over time via mutation and sexual reproduction. DNA can be modified only before birth, a mutation must have taken place at conception or within an egg such that an animal similar to a chicken, but not a chicken, laid the first chicken eggs. These eggs then hatched into chickens that inbred to produce a living population. Both the chicken and the egg evolved simultaneously from birds that, while not of the same exact species, gradually became more and more like present-day chickens over time.

 The real question ignored by philosophers is , did those birds taste like chicken?

The egg came first, according to species evolution theory... liked your detailed ​explanation

off course - first was an order to make it

what was first made of the order - it's up to production department, and availability of the parts

birds evolve from reptiles, all birds lay eggs. Silly question. Also who incubates the egg if it comes first?

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
