This is a rather basic question that I happen to find myself asking sometimes. What is your opinion? State which you think would've come first and give a good reason as to why. I don't know if there has already been a thread on this, but I apologize if there has.

guys, once upon a time....

there is a chicken that selling eggs in a small village, he sells eggs for a dollar, each. It was too expensive, so the chicken write a story, "once upon a day, if you guys don't buy this eggs now, I will have no descendant, and no story about it, egg and chicken will became legend like Dodo bird, got it?"

Well if you believe in creationsim the chicken came first, if not then it was the egg. Because through evolution the first ever creature that could be called a chicken wouldn't have had chicken parents. It would have come from the egg they layed.

Uh you guys? USE YOUR BRAIN
If the egg came first then it would have no one incubate it! Thus meaning that the egg wouldn't hatch. Therefore the egg would die.

So the conclusion of this short pointless lesson IS! OMG guys HERE IT COMES! That the chicken came before the egg.

Good Logic . . . but then where did the first chicken come from? Did God create it . . . or was it evolution? I believe it was God.

The chicken came first because God created all animals

What if God doesn't exist? What if a dinosaur layed a chicken egg and then a meteor hit, killing all dinosaurs but warming the environment. Then the chicken egg could have been incubated and hatched as a successful chicken. Animals during those time periods faced extinction from dangerous climate changes.

So you're saying that the chicken just poofed into existence? How does that make any logical sense?

First of all dinosaurs don't lay chicken eggs. And even if the egg hatched, the baby chick would die. A newborn finding food is very unlikely. Still back to the beginning, dinosaurs don't lay chicken eggs. And it would be pretty much impossible for that to happen.

It makes just as much sense as abiogenesis.

That's a hilarious image though xD

The events that he gave don't exactly work, but he's on the right track I think...

Anyway, I've given my views. The egg came first, but it wasn't exactly laid by a chicken. Just an animal closely related to the chicken, and when it mated the resulting animal was a new species. (chicken)

Please tell me you're kidding.


Going by evolution, it could technically be either one - it just depends on whether the egg that would hatch into a chicken would be considered a chicken egg, or if the egg wouldn't be considered a chicken until it actually hatched into a chick.

It makes just as much sense as abiogenesis.


. . .when taken at face value. I'd say abiogenesis makes more sense, due to the fact that amino acids *can* be made through chemical reactions that don't relate to life. That adds a lot of probability to the validity of abiogenesis - while the chicken poofing into existence has no science or logic to back it up whatsoever.

That actually makes perfect sense to me. I always thought the chicken, but truthfully, it depends on whether whatever laid the first chicken egg was chicken enough to be considered a chicken or some other species.
