The classic argument over which came first.I wanted to bring this up, because I was thinking a little bit and realized something.Why do scientist believe that the egg came first, if it had no mother to lay it, then keep it warm, and also after the eggs hatched they would have no way of surviving on their own without a parent to take care of them.So why do some scientist think this way when it is common sense that the chicken came first.I want to here your opinions on this matter.

Where did any of it come from? I mean if you think about it evolutionism doesn't explain where it all started. When and how was life introduced?
Though I have to agree with TotalReview. The chicken came before the egg in this setting, as the question is:
"Which came first, the chicken or the Egg"?

And no the answer isn't common sense. There isn't really an answer (that I can think of) that makes sense unless you are a creationist.

It's a never ending circle. Also, why can't it be both? Why do the scientist want to know which came first for? It's not rocket science to think of this answer.

The chicken and the egg are the same thing. The chicken is inside the egg. So when a the chicken's ancestors were evolving, they finally layed an egg with something that could be considered the modern day chicken. This egg is where the modern day chicken came from.

So what are you saying then? Both the chicken and the egg were made at the same time or what?

The dinosaurs were laying eggs long before there were chickens, therefore the egg came first.

I Belive Chuck Norris Came First. . . .

No. It Was The Chicken That Came First.

there would have to have been some creature from which the chicken we know about today evolved. That creature layed an egg that had something slightly genetically different about it inside...a chicken! Thus, the first chicken egg was hatched, and later the first chicken came out!

So, the egg.

Then again, you could get all technical and say that there was a chicken embryo in the egg, and thus they came at the same time : )

It's simple fact that the egg came first, because the Chicken couldn't just come outta nowhere, it would need to hatched, from an egg.

How do you know? Where you borned when it happened? No. So you need to have hardcore proof that the egg was first.

drako, are you implying that a chicken just burst out of nowhere and appeared, ready to lay an egg?

Why can't both of came first? I'm supporting with creationism and evolution here. The chicken could of evolved and while in the evolving processed, made an egg.

Do you guys understand that this debate is about creationism and evolution!? Therefore, it is a copy thread. This saying mostly supports the evolution idea, mostly because of how a chicken can't pop out of nowhere. If so, it would be creationism, etc.

Even with creationism, God could have created an egg, from which hatched a chicken.

Evolution = 100% Egg.

Creationism = 50% Maybe Egg, 50% Maybe Chicken.

Egg: 75%
Chicken: 25%

Egg wins!
