which one was the first the hen or the egg>>>

My friend asked me this question which one was the first the hen or the egg.

 All chickens begin life inside of an egg. The theory of evolution would tell us that the first creature that could accurately be called a chicken was first an egg laid by something that was not quite a true chicken. Therefore, even though there was something very similar to a chicken before, the egg came first.

If you know your Bible that would not be a question.  The Chicken of course.

i'm going at it from the religious side..
a chicken most definitely came first.

I think the egg. It's always strange to think of how things came to be created. It's kind of scary to think of in a way.

Where would the egg come from? Just grow out of the ground? 
The chicken came first.

since im none religious nor against the idea of a god im not gonna side with religion or non believers.

i believe the chicken came first but im not so sure it was a poof there it is kinda thing as
some would believe.

The question asks about a chicken and an egg, not a chicken and a chickens' egg. Dinosaurs were on this planet before chickens, and they were creatures which laid eggs. That means the egg came first.

So the chicken just appeared out of thin air? I don't like how people throw their religions at you as if believing something different means you're wrong.
