The Chicken or the Egg.?

Does art emulate life? Does life emulate art?
No? and No?....Ridiculous
Yes? and No?...Impossible
No? and Yes?...Impossible
Yes? and Yes?..Fathomable
Therefore; are we now, life or art? Does our life/art emulate another life/art? If so, what life/art are we emulating and what did that emulate from? And how far back does this process go? Back to 'In the beginning'? Are we an emulation of that first life? Or are we an emulation of that first artistic juggernaut?
For 2000 years ago it is written:
As Jesus is to God is to Satan.
For 2000 years from now it shall be written:
As Clark Kent is to Superman is to Lex Luthor.
Which came first?
