but if you think about it, the answer of the question isn't that important if you take the standpoint of "cosmic coincident". Why did organims appear on earth? because out of chance, a mixture of material through chance can perpetuate its existance thus we see organism today. no matter how improbable the first sign of life is, as it happens, it will continue as life in its fundemental sense is a setting of molecules that can produce more of the same sets of molecule thus staying around longer. So i think it doesn't matter if there was a chicken or an egg first as earth is only one of so many planets in the universe, we just happened to have the chance to have a set of molecules that survived til now with the ability to change. Essentially, this point of view removes oneself from the caussual point of view and instead embrace the expository point of view. Of course what you say involving God has been thought out by early christian philosopher such as St. Augustine// like his idea of the "first mover" being God. the cause and effect is no doubt a way to justify god in ones mind. Just not mine
