"Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding." Job 38:4
There are 40 question marks in the 38th chapter of Job. There are 19 question marks in chapter 39 and 20 in chapter 41. They are questions propounded by Jehovah to Job to show him how little he knew and how ignorant he was. With all man's wisdom he still knows nothing as compared with God's omniscience. How foolish of men to refuse to believe what they cannot understand. If this be true, then we cannot believe anything. A little boy asked me, "What is it we eat before it is born and after it is dead?" After admitting I did not know, he said wisely, "A chicken." Even that I cannot understand: how from an egg with white and yolk can come, in 21 days, a fully developed chick with all the genetic characteristics of its ancestors!
At the dinner table of a Christian lady, a skeptic began railing on the Bible story of creation. She interrupted him by saying, "The Bible explains one thing you cannot answer." She picked up an egg and asked, "Where did this egg come from?" "Why from a hen, of course." The lady asked, "And where did the hen come from?" He was forced to reply, "From an egg." "And where did that egg come?" "From the hen." And so on - the egg - the hen; the hen - the egg; etc., etc., etc. "Which then was first - the hen or the egg?" The reply was, "The hen, of course." "Then a hen existed before an egg? Where did the hen come from?" Frustrated, the infidel admitted his folly.
Push back egg to hen, hen to egg, to its beginning and you come to God who made the hen that laid the egg from which all other hens and eggs have come. Understand it? If you do, you are wiser than I am. The Bible says the hen was created by God - and the hen laid the egg. The argument is settled in Genesis 1:20.

You can also ask, which was first, the tomato or the seed.......
