IN RESPONSE to Tom Sargent's remarks (Letters, April 29) about the age-old question of which came first -- the chicken or the egg. I think it the answer is the chicken.

The reason is that in the Bible, in Genesis, we are told that God made all creatures (presumably the adult version) so they would then multiply and from the adults would then come babies or eggs.
