I never get tired of daily collecting eggs from our chicken coop. We throw some chicken feed and food scraps in, and the next day we get hygienically-sealed packages that we can fry, scramble, boil, poach, or make into a delicious omelet--little gifts from God.
If you think making an egg is no big deal, try making one yourself from chicken feed and food scraps (in about 12 hours). If you can’t do it, then you should pat the chicken on the back because she is more intelligent than you.
Speaking of intelligence. If you’ve ever been dumb-founded by “intellectuals” who pose the question as to which came first—the chicken or the egg; tell them it was the chicken and to read Genesis 1:21.

Ray, even making a random guess you had a 50% chance of being right. But as usual you fucked it. Eggs have been around for about 300 million years, long before the dinosaur ancestors of chickens. Ray, what's the line in Vegas on you ever being right about anything?
And every morning my dog takes a dump, and I think we can all agree this does not require any particular intelligence.
Oh, and the Bible incorrectly states a bat is a bird.
Reptiles got the amniotic egg millions of years before the chicken even existed.
So no, the egg came first.
i have backyard chickens too. they are many things, but "intelligent" isn't on the list.
they do love it when i scratch them on the back, though. they squat down for it, using a body language signal reserved for precisely that. it's mating behavior, for chickens; they assume since i help feed them, i must be a rooster.

How generous; not only do I have to collect the meal, but I must prepare it, as well? Why can't your "god" just miracle an omelet onto my plate? I like spinach, tomatoes, and feta, please!
Eggs are not poop, Mr. Banana!
Unfertilized eggs are menses & fertilized ones are births...no intelligence necessary!
And no, I don't want to call you "Egg Man" goo-goo-g'joob !
Ray, thank the chickens, you dumb cluck.
Btw, every red blooded American boy, by the time he's lived to participate in at least one Hallowe'en, has noticed how perfectly the egg fits the hand. Whilst you, on the other hand, were out behind the chicken coop squeezing your banana.
hygienically-sealed packages
No such thing as Salmonella, eh?
(in about 12 hours)
Someone tell me that he got corrected on that shit... please?
I like chickens and they are interesting animals with more intelligence than most people give them credit for. Chickens have complex cognition, form deep bonds with others, have a sophisticated way of communicating, and they can anticipate future events. But an animal's method of reproduction doesn't correlate with their intelligence. Pretty sure God doesn't lay eggs, either. But I guess according to Mr. Comfort that would mean chickens display more intelligence than gody-kins.
Also wrong, as the egg-- or an egg containing an organism that has a mutation-- comes first. This is how the evolution of a new species occurs. And of course other animals were egg layers long before the chicken ever came into being.
And I will point out that chickens, as we know them, have been, much like Bananas, hand bred to be harvested. Ergo, whatever laid the egg the chicken was in was not a chicken, meaning the egg came first.
Guy orders tongue.
Abortion provider!!! That egg ought to have become a living chicken! (Yes, I know it's more like a "period", but it's more fun to attack them for abortions.)
The chicken might be more intelligent than YOU, Banana-man, but it's definitely not more intelligent than normal humans.
Nope, never been dumbfounded by that particular question. Eggs have been around for longer than chickens have.
Failed misreably with your Supernatural Banana Miracle years ago so trying to fit an egg into it now, eh?
Fail again, because like the Banana, the availability of the chicken egg isn't a magical thing but is instead a product of long term farming techniques and selective breeding controls and isn't now or ever been available to everyone. In fact, in your Gods wisdom many people on this planet can't imagine food scraps.
It isn't like your Bible gives you instructions on maintaining a productive chicken population, now is it Ray?
Chicken coups are fun. Throw some chicken feed and food scraps in and, the next day (or in about 12 hours), you're going to get chicken turds.
Those chicken turds, incidentally, will be more intelligent than Ray Comfort.

Dave Gorman's 'Found Poem' contains more intelligence than Ray Cumfart has spewed in his lifetime. [/"Modern Life Is Good[i]ish[/i] "]

Apparently, God is a chicken, and lives in Ray Comfort's hen house.

I don't think intelligence works that way. The chicken isn't using its mind to create eggs.
If chickens are so intelligent, then let's see one build a space-craft.
So...Ray.....after eating, and waiting for about 12 hours, do you lay eggs???? If you can't do that, then apparently the chicken is more intelligent than you. Did that one every cross your mind?
Oh, and if I am ever dumb-founded by intellectuals who pose that question as to which came first- the chick or the egg....I will tell them it was the easter bunny and to read war and peace.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
