Technically, birds weren't the only ones to lay an egg, what about i don't know, dinosaurs?

Birds descended from reptiles. That is, if you "believe" in evolution. Otherwise ask god.

I love people who comment calling bullshit to Neil deGrasse Fucking Tyson (His full name). Dude can't exactly post a book's worth of research in a tweet.

He is pretty much insinuating that people who prefer god over science to explain things are idiots. Plus he loves to be the smartest person in the room. Many people can't really handle that very well. He's right though and he usually is just that person. You see, from a certain angle below, knowledge and intelligence look just like arrogance.

Nah. And I'm not disagreeing simply because you're FSuser. There are MANY rational cool headed scientists out there that do the same thing as he does. Can't name them but in my CATHOLIC school in SCIENCE class we watched a lot of their videos and documentaries. Really opened up our thinking a lot and made us interested. Neil is the type of guy to hear a conversation in the next room then join in as if he was invited to talk that's why people dislike him. Or at least that's why I dislike him.

How do you know sand didn't collect and form an egg than the egg was struck by lightning? That's how god would have done it

You don't. But there's this little something called probability.

It's true though... Eggs are laid by many other birds too and chickens don't exist for that long yet - so the egg came before the chicken.

He only had 140 characters to explain it.

How exactly is that a "false" claim? It's not 100% accurate as it is quite abridged, but it's surely not false.

it's false because it isn't the truth, we don't know the truth and he states it as if it was fact

We do know that dinosaurs have lived way before chickens existed and that they laid eggs

that does not answer the question, the answer to the question is that evolution is a gradual thing and neither the chicken nor the egg came first

Can you eggheads stop squawking already?

The question is "which came first". This explanation simplifies the answer. Stop whining because you can't understand.

"it's false because it isn't the truth, we don't know the truth and he states it as if it was fact" - We know enough facts to know his statement is true. Something like "the truth" is not part of the scientific view of the world. Science is not in competition with belief.
