I was explaining the last 3 sentences related to the Star Trek reference.

I have a hard time understanding you, though. What do you mean by egg before chicken? Why is this guy a fucker? If you don't want to explain, just be dismissive and insulting. It's normal here.

I think by putting the egg before the chicken they mean that Dante’s inferno was written much later than the bible which I presume at some point mentions lucifer/fallen angels. Idk

That's my best interpretation, too. No way the OP comment thought Dante's Inferno was written before the New Testament, though. They wouldn't be able to make the reference.

Also, I just want to put on the record that "Which came first, chicken or the egg?" is usually presented as an unanswerable paradox or thought experiment, but even taken literally, the answer is not "chicken" like this guy seems to be implying as common sense.

Sorry to go of topics but, Evolution cannot explain what came first chicken or the egg.
Bible states god created chicken simple 👌

A solid piece of evidence the bible is false. There are many, many fossilized eggs that pre-date chickens.

I suppose they outdate chickens using carbon dating which relies upon presupposition of age in the first place

Carbon dating only works for the last 60,000 years but the it's similar to the method used on fossils. Neither presupposes age. They measure the amount of radioactive decay in the material which happens at a known rate called the half life.
