The Egg Came First Than The Chicken
What Came First The Chicken Or The Egg? You know the famous question, but what did come first the chicken or the egg? Egg answers are green (or yes), chicken answers are red (or no). (Act like you only can put your best answer)

The Chicken came with the egg already inside.

The modern chicken evolved from an earlier chicken like animal. It all has to do with the theory of evolution.

 Which is also a big scheme. You'll understand soon :-0

Hmmm. I don't know...i could agree with both sides on this one...so i will.

OK this is why i think the egg came first...

An egg is a cell, the whole thing. Its the only cell you can see with the naked eye. So if you look at it scientifically [which i usually don't] the tiny little cell could have matured and [ugh] evolved into a more complex organism capable to produce a chicken...but either way God created it :)

It is more likely that the egg came first because what we have now which is known as the chicken is an evolved form of something else. Evolution and natural selection says that only the best suited animals can survive to reproduce, so if this was the case then the egg would have been laid and the chicken would have arrived after the egg.

The egg came first. Then i hatched. Evolution happened so gradually, so the first chicken didn't look like the chickens today. The first chicken look just like the last of what ever chicken evolved from. So the first chickens parents want technical chickens, they laid the EGG then it hatched, then the CHICKEN came to be. So the chicken.

Saying the chicken came first is like saying first human came before the fist human fetis. You have to be a fetis first, just like you have to be an egg before a chicken.

There’s a dirty joke here but I won’t go there. Something very like but not quite a chicken laid an egg with the slight genetic variation needed to qualify as a chicken. So the egg came first.

Well obviously the egg came first. Because the chicken once was an egg.

Think about it— you eat eggs for breakfast and chicken for dinner. Breakfast comes before dinner, so the eggs come before the chicken.

The T-rex laid eggs and the rex was be for the chicken.

Scientifically speaking, the egg would have came first. The reason is because of the fact that genetic material doesn’t change during an animal's actual life. Therefore, the first bird that evolved into what we would call a “chicken”, probably in prehistoric times, must have first existed as an embryo inside an egg of a similar species that would not quite be labelled as a “chicken” yet (since the offspring it was carrying would be considered the first “chicken“ within the evolutionary line).

Obviously, the egg was rolling off the assembly line long before God even thought of fluffing out the chicken with feathers,

The egg is a generic female reproductive body common across a variety of species -- birds, reptiles, insects, amphibians, fish, and insects; whereas the chicken is a very specific fowl common across most cultures. Clutches of dinosaur eggs were already stone-cold fossils when the first chicken was yanked squawking into domesticity some 4,000 to 5,000 years ago.

Quod erat demonstratum. Which came first? Not ... How did they arrive? Where did they come from? Why am I here?

But do you want to know how the chicken gets in the egg?

 Interestingly enough last year they found some viable genetic material in a Tyrannosaurus rex fossil and the dna they analyzed was most similar to todays domesticated chicken.

My opinion is....the egg came first. My stand point is a scientific one. If there was an accumulation of molecules and particles, it could have eventually created the shell, which i would assume would be an easier process than the chicken itself. Once the shell is developed then molecules and particles "incubate" the DNA string that later develops into that of chicken.
I don't know how else to explain it.

Neither came 'first'. A dino did not suddenly pop out a chicken egg nor did a chicken or its egg spontaneously appear. The question is a silly one if you know anything of evolutionary theory. Also, i find it strange that people are giving answers that are not taught in either evolutionary theory or creationist 'theory', at least base your answers off of those.

The Egg - because many other animals lay eggs - no doubt at least one before the chicken came about.

I personally don't know, as many of you won't either, but my best guess would be the egg came first and it was just born by itself.

Without using the idea about evolution and genetics, the question posed is a paradox. I mean, did the chicken arrive first to lay the egg, or where did the egg that was magically there originate from?

I'm sorry, I think it's the chicken. Think of humans. What came first? I find it hard to believe chickens would be the exception to the rule.

 I agree, i sooo don't believe in the idea people came from monkeys. I think that people who lived in different places wayyy back in time, looked different because of the place they lived, like if they were really hairy it was probably cold there. Evolution makes no sense at all. But anyways i think that as the people lived and grew God gave them knowledge, which is why we have clothes [and why society is constantly changing]. So after they had clothes, they didn't need to be hairy. But this isn't about hairy people...its about a chicken isn't it, lol

Had to be the chicken. Genesis says God created animals, not eggs.

Not so: An egg, as you will recall, proceeds out of a bodily-orifice: A chicken is fully-developed already; capable of squeezing out an egg.....so the chicken must have, therefore, come first;-)

 so where did the chicken come from, (or was the animal the chicken came from not an egg laying animal, woah I just argued with myself.)

Technically, the chicken came first, because the microbes that chickens evolved from did not reproduce sexually. In other words, chickens evolved to lay eggs.

No way this could be rational.

An egg, is squeezed outta chicken's butt.
So, there has to first be a chicken, in order for there to be an egg squeezed out.

Enough said.

Chickens evolved from frogs, after all, frogs taste like chicken not like egg.

Wait, then is this insinuating that the chicken was the first species on the Earth?
