What came first, the chicken or the egg??

...And vice versa, thus, our problem.

And if memory serves, didn't egg-laying organisms come before organisms which give birth to live offspring? Chickens elvoved from dinosaurs.

...All chickens really are are extremely mutated dinosaurs, really. So I guess the real question is, "Which came first, the dinosaur or the egg?"
And then if we go even further back there were those fishlike organisms, which laid eggs, then insects, etc.
In order to confidently answer this question we would need a knowledge about natural history that people haven't obtained yet.

 

Everybody knows that God layed the first egg. Out of that egg came the first chicken.

 

the dinosaur, because they were made by smaller organisms that just evolved into dinosaurs then dinosaurs turned into chickens

^^this

 

I'm sorry, I don't take this seriously?

 

Neither. It's obvious. If the chicken came first, no more could've been born. If the egg came first, it can't live on it's own. Circles don't have openings to start on. So... yea =D

 

So... Does that mean chickens are nonexistent? XD

 

... You're supposed to. If you wanna make posts that are less than serious, go to the Spam Zone.

So the chicken does not exist?

 

The egg came first, though not in a conventional sense mind you. Once again, Styx had posted this before to my knowledge - the ovum is essentially the female cell used in reproduction, and is usually called the "egg".

 

Egg.

Dinosaurs came before chickens. Dinosaurs layed eggs. Thus eggs.

If it has to be a chicken egg, then still egg. Because genetics works on a generation to generation basis. So slowly a pre-chicken life form would evolve over generations, getting closer and closer to chicken-hood. Those eggs do not count, as they are not chicken eggs, but pre-chicken eggs. So that continues until one day evolution has reached the chicken stage, and a pre-chicken (which is a lot like a normal chicken, but is not exactly a normal chicken) lays an egg. This egg contains a normal chicken. Thus the egg came first.

 

Most certaintly the egg. Evolution theory states that a new species (Chicken) evolves from the old by mutation. An old species (NonChicken) had an offspring that mutated and so developed something that defined it as more chicken-like that helped it survive, so it could pass that charecteristic to its descendents. So this SemiChicken kept getting more and more chicken-like over the years, until it was one charecteristic away from being a full chicken. So it lay an egg which hatched with a mutation, and so it was the first full Chicken. So the egg came first.
