Which came first: matter or spirit?

Ganymede, is belief in one's own existence rational? And, by the way, is solipsism rational? If you consider them rational, then you are contradicting yourself, as they cannot be derived from our experience.

As for the topic itself... the very formulation of the question is very imprecise.
Firstly, as Einstein showed (and as Christianity asserts!), time exists only together with matter - that is, God is outside of time, and therefore, paradoxically, appeared (from the point of view of time!) at the same moment as matter.
Secondly, in reality, to solve this question, it would be necessary to first, at least in the most general terms, determine what we define as spirit and what as matter, and where to draw the line between them.
