Darwinist View

The Darwin approach has been that chickens evolved from a common ancestor of the modern chicken. The process of a chicken egg becoming fertile is completed when a male sperm cell meets the female egg cell, creating a zygote, the first cell of a new chicken. The cell then divides many times into a mature chick ready to hatch. Chickens evolved from non-chickens by mutations of DNA and multiple mutations created a new zygote that was the modern chicken.[1]

Creationist View

"On Day Five of Creation Week, God created 'every winged bird according to its kind'" (Genesis 1:21). This assumption presumes that the bird was first, therefore, the bird would lay the egg that would become the chicken.[2]
