Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Debate

[MegaCherrio]

i think it would have to be the chicken cuz an egg can't survive without the chicken to keep it warm

--oh!!! I never thought of that, and it's so true X3 I know what I'll answer every time this question is asked to me from now on

Holy crap like, mind=blown! I always thought it was the chicken but... that's a good point. Good proof.

The egg, because of evolution and stuff xD

The egg, because of evolution.

well on a non-Christian view, the egg had to come first because dinosaurs.
on a Christian view, the chicken- God could create a chicken without an egg, two chickens probably because precisely how could an egg get on without a male and a female chicken?

That's assuming you believe in Christianity though, or any other gods that 'create', if you're looking at it from a non religious standpoint...

It could've been laid by any animal that wasn't quite a chicken yet. Evolution isn't by any means a quick process and is estimated to take at least thousands of years. Generally genes act in a way that a large majority of animals are born pretty much equally. Takes quite a while for 'deformities' to be born that happen to be awesome for survival. Let alone for it to slowly become an actual species that regularly reproduces this gene pool.

Sorry if my typing sucks, it's almost 5 in the morning. My brain is ooze.

It had to be an egg c: Because birds came from reptiles and dinosaurs, so, the first chicken had to come from an egg of a dinosaur.

The egg. I believe birds evolved from dinosaurs, so this is how I think it happened. When a female dinosaur laid an egg, it had a small mutation in it. Perhaps because on of it's parents stayed in their own egg too long or not long enough, something changed, and once they bred, their baby(or all babies) had that same mutation. Each time that bloodline reproduced, the mutation grew, eventually making it into a bird, or chicken.
Or, maybe when a dinosaur's egg was laid, it stayed unhatched too long, and because no air could reach the skin, the skin grew irritated. Once it hatched, it had feather-like spines coming off their skin. Not fully feathers, more like half-feathers. Hair, fur, and feathers are all adaptations or mutations of skin. Eventually, once that baby grew and bred, the feather mutation stayed and was passed on until birds took to the sky.

There is no right or wrong answer.

Chickens are aliens.
