My, my such aggression I feel from you, Mini-hime, true I really should stop using Wikipedia and true theory is merely speculation, however your answer of an all knowing, all powerful being just creating such creatures in a blink of an eye is speculation as well.
Why I think this? well where's the proof? the bible? how did the bible come to exist anyway? The only basis of everything that is written in the bible to be a 'fact' is all belief. Belief in such a thing as a all superior being watching our every move, knowing what we're going to do next, is the creator of all things on the planet Earth. The only reason people believe that all things in this holy book is because humans naturally need guidance from a higher source, be it a Leader or some omnipotent being.
Now I'm not saying I want proof as in, "I'll only believe in god if he shot a bolt of lightning about five miles away from me" No, No that's just silly, I'm just saying where is the solid evidence that actually proves that every single animal on this planet Earth was created out of thin air from an all powerful God?
And a 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000001% chance is a bit much isn't it? that's really going a bit overboard isn't it, Mini-hime? But it doesn't matter much anyway because despite that largely estimate chance this 'planetoid-like object' as you so call it, respectively a Meteor, did crash into the planet Earth which caused all that chaos and 'hell' you so graciously described....oh and before you ask for proof, here it is:
news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/03/0307_030307_impactcrater.htmlAnd before you say, "it's a crater, so what? that doesn't prove anything." True that would be correct, but it's still physical evidence now is it? Though I have no idea about how you came across that, that event had something to do with the creation of our moon, but I have no proof at the moment that, that isn't true or false.
You say that "A chicken and/or an egg is not a mutation", correct? Well looking back on my post correctly I put nothing of the sort, I wonder if you indeed read what I posted or rather honestly "copy and pasted" as you so put.
Going back to that the mutation was not the Chicken, but it's predecessor's before it's creation, going back to the third line Scientists believe that the chicken is a descendant from a hybrid descendant of both the red junglefowl and the grey junglefowl, so basically: Red Junglefowl + Grey Junglefowl = Modern Chicken, it's not a mutation and there was no word in any of the lines I put that insinuated that, only that the Modern Chicken was created by two different species of birds which is certainly not a mutation.
You really shouldn't pull out percentages without providing some proof, Mini-hime, it only looks like you're grasping which hurts your point, of course I have no proof of my own that Scientists have discovered only 10% of the Earth's flora and fauna, but I didn't say it was wrong or right, merely I want the facts straight, however you really shouldn't underestimate our Scientists, sure there are some who are very egotistical and do it only for the fame and glory, but there are good Scientists who do their job to discover the truth and learn more about our home planet.
Getting back to a question you ask me, however before that it's "Primordial Soup", Mini-hime not "Primeval Goop". I do not believe that, that created every single creature on this entire planet, however I do believe it was the base of it which is the theory of it where the first organisms were created from it, then those organisms grew up and evolved growing and multiplying until they became the creatures we know (though there's a large number of unknown, that much I know is certain.) today.
Thinking about it though, you are correct, in a way it is asking of rather what your belief is rather than the question it self, the Egg being the logic of Science and the Chicken being the belief of an omnipotent being known simply as 'God'. however the question is still valid considering it rather is a difficult question in many different point of views.
Are you so sure that it will continue on though? Years have passed, things have changed, many answers have come up to answer questions that were long forgotten in the years passed, the thought of this simple looking yet complex question turning into a never-ending cycle would have been valid long ago, besides the questions you have put is a bit continuous anyway, for example:
Where did the chicken come from?
The egg.
instead of who laid the egg.
Where did the egg come from? would be a more better question which is the opposite for the egg.
Where did the chicken come from?
The egg.
Who laid the egg?
The chicken?
Where did the chicken come from?
There is no way anyone would question the same thing over and over in the way you have put down without questioning on the Chicken and the Egg's existence, however that line of thinking may have been valid in the way gone past.
Anyhow, Mini-hime, I' am not saying you're wrong or I'm right, maybe all of the Earth's creatures were made from God or maybe all of Earth's creatures all started from a pond or ocean as a result of the combination of chemicals from the atmosphere and some form of energy to make amino acids. However getting back to the point the debate of the Chicken or the Egg has been solved, that much is certain, I can give you an an told amount of links most of them valid and not just mindless speculation, one of them I already provided, but I suppose maybe it already had been solved even before it was 'solved' by the scientific community.
As you said simply....or rather provided in a form of a cartoonish drawing: God created the chicken, the chicken laid the egg so thus the chicken came first.
