Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Debate

[Jimmy Neutron]

Oh so true! I was watching a video, and they found a chicken with teeth and therefore the chicken was closest thing we have to a dino

I say the egg because whatever it was before evolved into the chicken but it can't evolve while it is living, right? So every time it laid an egg it was a little different. Now today we have chickens who lay chicken eggs.

I hope that made sense

Okay. I say a female chicken came first. Then a male chick hatched from that egg and chicken became the flavor of 99% of all food >.> But seriously about the first part: female chicken, male chick hatches from egg >.> I don't believe in evolutioin, so in my belief, chickens didn't evole from dinos...there's just no way that a bird came froma reptile...that's like saying humans evolved from fish...Just impossible in my oppinion...x3

Believing in god has nothing to to with where chickens came from. God, regardless of existing or not didn't make chickens. Humans made chickens. We bred them from junglefowl. Sort of like how a god did not create wolves because humans directly did that themselves.

Also you're forgetting that birds are still basically toothless raptors with no hands. Most dinosaurs were warm blooded.

Heres what a velociraptor looked like.


Here is a modern bird.


Notice how most birds basically look like tailless dinosaurs?


Its not like the dinosaur to bird change was a lizard turning into a bird. It was basically a dinosaur growing a few more feathers, and losing the teeth and tail. (fun fact: we can currently breed birds that have teeth and tails) Also don't forget birds have scales, and that feathers are also just a type of scale.

I say the chicken because how can there be an egg and no mommy to it? and I think god just said let there be chickens and they were made so we just really by breeding chickens with teeth and tails you are just really putting genetically modified genes in a bird that was fine the way it was (Where do you think we get most our meat from not a toothy bird) so really science got in the way of life.

No one put genes in chickens to do that. The genes are already in the chicken.
I can't actually tell what you're trying to say here.

That's not how the theory works. The theory is a species evolves from one thing to another to improve it's traits according to the environment it lives in. Or, selective breeding. For example, teacup chihuahuas were created from breeding small dogs to small dogs, then taking the smallest dog in that litter, breeding it, etc...

God didn't create teacup chihuahuas, humans did. If you want to say "well God created humans which created teacup chihuahuas"... then, fine -- be that way.

Which, I believe, is what happened with chickens.



Behold, the jungle fowl. This is the gray jungle fowl. Looks like a chicken, doesn't it? But it isn't. It is a wild bird, with genes extremely similar to the domesticated chicken we own today. Selective breeding caused us to get productive chickens, with different colors and personality traits. We even had it our way to the point where we have chickens that lay and produce meat at unnatural rates.

Even going by creationism, god didn't create chickens.
