Teilhard de Chardin:

The chicken was pursuing a teleological upsurge toward final consumation in the Omega Point of Divine Love.

Thomas Aquinas:

Whether the chicken crossed the road?
Objection: It seems that the chicken did not cross the road, for chickens are accustomed to the farmyards that are the source of their food, and the henhouse that is the source of their rest.
On the contrary, "And God said to Noah, 'Go into the ark, and take with you . . . seven pairs of birds of the air. . . ." -- which could not have been accomplished had the chickens not crossed the road to the ark.

Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith:

We don't care why the chicken crossed the road, as long as it had the right of way and crossed in an approved crosswalk.

St. Lawrence of Rome:

Run, chicken, run! Run from the rotisserie!

St. Paul:

Let's just hope that the chicken had a life-changing encounter with the risen Christ along the way.
