Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Debate

[Jimmy Neutron]

As many of you know, we all have our theory i'd enjoy hearing your's. In time this question has been stirring, Which came first the chicken or the egg?
There are many possibility's to the answer, the chicken laid the egg, so therefore the chicken came first. Or the egg came first, where'd we get the chicken than.




Things you may do:
- Comment you're theory
-agree or disagree (nicely) with a theory
-share your opinion

-Report a problem by mailing me, or reported the post
-follow Tess's rules

Ex. A : I like cheese burgers therefore the chicken came first
Ex B: I think the chicken came first, due to my religious beliefs, and did you know the closest thing we have to a dinosaur is a chicken
Ex C: so are you saying that they evolved from dinosaurs and how did dinosaurs get wings to evolve into a chicken
all a,b and c protain




Things you may not do:
-Do NOT use inappropriate words, or insult anyone, anything

Speaking scientifically here's how it is... The question does not say "Which can first the chicken or the chicken egg?" it just says "The egg" Therefore this means any egg and eggs came way before chickens seeing as some dinosaurs laid eggs.

yes i would assume that they should say which came first the chicken or the chicken egg, because they could be saying any egg. Good perspective

genetically speaking and considering the chicken, along with every other species we know today, is the result of evolution, the first "chicken," that which we see and believe today as a "chicken" would have been an evolution or mutation of a former species similar to that of a chicken. but, alas, this evolutionary mutation that gave us the "chicken" evidently hatched from an egg, so I would say the egg came first

Ah yes, this. It's a good metaphorical question but it the literal sense takes little standing.

Neither truly came first because the chicken evolved through a long and rigorous process, it wasn't spontaneously created.
By a technicality, the egg came first as is already mentioned by others. :3

I believe in evolution, so I'll say the egg. The egg came from the ancestor of the moderne chickens.

The egg. The first chicken didn't turn into a chicken in the middle of its life, it was between generations.
It doesn't really matter where you draw the line between a chicken and their ancestor, the answer is the egg.

The chicken, coming from a Biblical point of view, God might have just poofed chickens into existence. (:

True, some people have religious beliefs...
