as for my belief, i ditto speg. When God created earth, he didn't just throw a bunch of eggs down here to hatch...
No, what we(I) are(am) saying is that the parents of the first chicken would be ever so slightly different from the modern chicken. When two of these slightly different chicken mate, they would produce the modern chicken. We(I) are(am) NOT saying that one day there were as an eagle who layed an egg, and voila ther was a chicken.
Also, the whole thing with evolution is that animals are constantly changing, so each distinctly individual population warrants a new species (or sub-species). I think the amount of Gallus gallus (chicken) in existence today warrants a distinct population....thus the use of the name "Gallus gallus"

(all of this is from my evolutionary standpoint.)
