Forums → The Tavern → Which came First, the Chicken or the Egg?

The answer to this question is very simple, the egg came first. The ascendant of the chicken, obviously layed the first egg(which is of the same species as chicken nowadays).

Easy. The egg came first, it was a mutant egg laid by a chicken-like bird.

It's really an argument between religion and evolution.

If god actually made all the animals then the chicken came first.

If things evolved like in evolution then the egg came first because two different birds made the eggs which then hatched chickens.

I think both would require further evidence to form an opinion on.

if your christian it is egg or chicken, because there could have been a chicken egg, god kept it warm and when it hatched, god gave it food. but with evolution, it can only be the egg

the egg, because the chicken born in egg

Depends on belief.

its the egg, because like said before, a chicken like animal layed an egg, witch was a genetic mutation, and that egg from a species like a chicken developed into the first real chicken too exist.

By Christian belief, the chicken. By Chinese mythology, the egg that birthed Pan Gu and the universe. I side with the former.

chicken!! coz if God made egg first, who'll take care of it till it hatches? =P

or egg -.- coz egg came from chicken, not evolved from chicken! fools! xD

the egg, a smaller species laid eggs over time, and slower evolved into a chicken egg

Do you mean "Which came first? The chicken, or the chicken's eggs?" Because dinosaurs have had eggs before chickens arrived.

I agree with softin. I do not know why but what he said kind of made sense.

And once again this goes back to religion. I am not sure what happened but if scientists can prove it came from some dinosaur or turkey or sumetin...then I will believe that.
