  It made Fox News in 2015.

  A biology paper that same year..

  Religios people seem to care.

  More religious people care

  Biologists have been talking about it.

  BBC Science covered it.

  I didn’t pull this out of my arse.

  And re: that citation you asked for:

  God created mature birds with the ability to reproduce. So the bird was first, ready to lay eggs.

  — Answers In Genesis

    first of all kudos on the citations; thank you for your effort.

    I don’t think these prove that the question is about religion vs science. the question is philosophical, and the fact that some religious people have a take on it that doesn’t agree with what would be the scientific/technical answer doesn’t make it about religion vs science.

    if a tree falls and no one around to hear it, does it make a sound? that would also have a scientific answer, and depending on the religion, you may have a religious argument that disagrees with the scientific answer. the question would remain a philosophical one, and not one of science vs religion.
