who came first?

[dell9031]

Had to be the chicken....cause anything that woke us up that early in the morning caused us to eat there young(eggs)....

[ancmetro]

    I think there were some eggs that surface the ground...yes, they came from the earth (soil) and hatched. Then, these real chickens laid eggs that hatched and we had a new generation of chickens that consequently laid more eggs and hatched more chickens...perpetuating the species.

Or you could believe that God created the chicken egg for the chicken to hatch out of. 

Oh right, the one that takes the best of both. 
God created evolution.

The egg.  No one ever specifies which egg.....   In that case, technically the term "egg" would include even the most primitive members of metazoa (and even in some protozoa).  Any organism that forms from a zygote first requires an egg to be fertilized.  Hence, the egg before the chicken, since chickens come in rather late in the evolutionary line.

Who really cares just so we have both.

I would say the chicken who had to lay the egg, lol:)

Or you could believe that God created the chicken egg for the chicken to hatch out of. 

I agree because it's the same concept!

[kodomfulmanar]

I think in some article on Cracked.com, they prove that it had to be the chicken who came first. Some enzyme thing, I really don't remember.

The chicken had to come first. How could an egg turn into a chicken without a chicken laying an egg. Besides, where did that egg come from?(Was it the chicken?)

IM GOING WITH THE EGG.

[Kiki1992]

If you think about it, this is the same topic about Creation Versus Evolution. The egg came first: meaning that the egg evolved and over time became the chicken. Or, the chicken came first: God created the chicken and the chicken lay eggs.

Chicken.  Read Genesis

Very simple the chicken. like the above post said... read your bible

Yes, let's all look for answers in a book that says light was created on day 1 and the light sources were created on day 4. This logic fits very well with this classic philosophical conundrum being discussed! lol

so did the chicken come first or the egg??

Even according to scientists, the conundrum still stands!

Only if you take the time to be literal 24 hours instead of millenia(2 Peter 3:

I agree with falconor and his learnt clique on this one unless we know that chickens where the first birds or even animal for that matter will never know which one came first.

[Falconer02]

Only if you take the time to be literal 24 hours instead of millenia(2 Peter 3:

"I know! I'll make it so my followers will have to jump thousands of years into the future just to make sense of my beginning technicalities! BRILLIANT!"

The fact that you had to decypher that shows how utterly poor that book is constructed. That, and you're displaying 2-dimensional thinking.

Very simple the chicken. like the above post said... read your bible

That is the dumbest answer I have ever heard. This has NOTHING to do with the bible, it has to do with evolution and science. Try again!!!

[pfrancis001]

it has always been the chicken.
