What Came first The Chicken or the Egg


Recommended Posts

depends on your beliefs.

evolutionism: birds would have evolved into wat we now call a chicken. but that would mean that the egg was first. because a bird would lay that egg and it would then become the chicken. but this would have happened over many many years.

creationism: the chicken. because god created the chicken. but come to think of it. god wouldnt have created chickens in the beggining because it wouldnt be a chicken nowadays because it would have evolved.

i think the egg. just seems right.

Who says god didn't just create the egg first? Why assume he created the chicken? :p

It all started out with single atoms ;)

I think its something like atoms started to connect to eachother to make single cells, or bacteria or something. Then soon the cells started to multiply making larger organisms. Over time, it evolves far enough when it becomes an organism which can give birth.

Now each birth had a small change in the animal. Each generation of this species would evolve just a little bit, until it becomes the chickens we have today.

So if I had to make a choice, I'd have to say the egg came first ;)

^ yes this is an evolution matter, which is bascically how gorillas turned into humans and how something beccame a chicken casuing the chicken to be 1st and after this chicken is formed the chicken will lay eggs

spoken by someone who doesn't know his arse from his elbow. Humans from gorillas, that's the funniest thing I've heard all week.

And as for the chicken, animals were laying eggs in one form or another hundreds of millions of years before the chicken clucked it's first cluck. Before any animal thought it'd be a great idea to get a bit dry and go on the beach.

Animals either lay eggs or give birth to live young depending on their surroundings. It's a defense mechanism, as much as anything.

Scientists have pretty much found out what came first and it was the "egg"

nearly right, the atoms formed molecules, which in turn strung themselves together to form amino acids. These then in turn formed proteins and on and on and on. Cells formed after about a billion years. If you actually think about it its a mindf**k. It's so amazing it's unreal.

If you don't want to get too heavy, read something like "A Short History Of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson. Some chapters in their tell you about Life.

Teh Chicken, otherwise how would god eat? :D :p

Actually its a pretty weird question but... it all leads to:

Chicken First: Where the hell then chicken was born!

Egg First: Where the hell egg came from!

Both can be ansewered with "And god created the egg/chicken", and if we track down to its origin, probably we wouldnt end in a few years...

thats all about evolution, whatever was there before created an egg -> hatches -> new kind of pre-chicken -> egg -> chicken

so the chicken was there before you say? WRONG! there was eggs millions of years before the chicken even exist

i have another thought it may be that an animal that was there before the chicken that is kindaf similar to the chicken... this animal that was there before laid an egg but instead of another of its own being born a chicken came out causing the egg to come out

Fish type creatures came first, which didn't lay eggs, well some did and some did not. Then dinosaurs evolved from fish type creatures and dinosaurs layed eggs, then chickens evolved from dinosaurs. So I'd have to say the chicken came first.

But you could also say the egg came first. Because there was a dinosaur that have had to layed the first egg that evolved into the first chicken.

But I would go with the former.

I guess it depends on how you want to look at it.

if you're talking about chicken eggs and not eggs in general and are assuming there was a first chicken-->[the first chicken and first chicken egg happened at the same time, when the first chicken hatched from the first chicken egg]<--the only answer (though tautological)

Imo the chicken came first, seriously God wouldnt create earth full of eggs around the place, so he would create random animals that made eggs. Do you see a world with just eggs in the beginning? i dont :huh: and who would sit on the eggs till they hatch :ninja:

I hate this question. Its one of those false misleading ones. The actual question should be: "Which came first, the chicken or the chicken egg?" and the clear answer would be the chicken, because it wouldnt be a chicken's egg unless it was a chicken that it came from.

Correct.

The "dinosaur" (i preffer to call it a pre-chicken) their genes was 99.9999999% of a chicken but still it a not real chicken. And for mutation (in every generation there are some mutation), the new eggs was of a 100% chicken.

So what's first :the eggs. a almost-nearby-chicken can put chicken eggs?. YES! (not always but is feasible).

actually, through evolution, they zytote was first, (which we call the egg that is fertilized) the the chicken is a demesticated animal made by man through artificial selection, when man got the desired traits, an egg that grew into the desired outcome, the artivificial selection stopped

it always starts with the egg because mutations occure as a zygote, though the "egg" is really just a gamete (1/2) the genetics, so it could come from the sperm or the egg, or during the formation of the zygote for evolution to occure. In that this mutation has to be benificial to the succession of the living organism
