But why do you assume all chickens came from eggs and all eggs came from chickens?
How is this different than just having "God exists" as a premise?
I don't think it is different in itself. I think some premises are more useful than others, an the anticipating-experience-sense.
I know that this doesn't actually contribute in any way, but chickens were bred into exsistance by humans, so, one female bird was bred with a different male bird and the resulting eggs were chickens. Therefore, the egg came before the chicken.
