It was the chicken because, if the christian story about the creation of the world was true, then it would be pretty obvious. Adam and Eve arrived to earth as grown adult - not baby's. This means that the Chicken came before the egg because the chicken is an adult version of the egg. Besides, what if the egg didn't hatch? There wouldn't be the delicious animal we now know today as the chicken.
And where did the chicken come from? Any evidence that the creationist view is correct?
A creature very similar to a chicken laid an egg. That egg hatched into a creature that was even more genetically similar to a chicken. This creature then in turned laid an egg which hatched into what we now know as a chicken.
So, the first chicken obviously came from an egg, but that egg was layed by a creature so minutely different to a chicken.
lol i win the internets i totally stole this point of view from someone in this thread earlier
Must've been pretty embarrassing for some huge, proud dinosaur to find that her egg had suffered a mutation and was some small, fluffy semi-flightless creature which clucked around the place and pecked at the ground.
Both results are paradoxical. For example, the egg can't come first because where did it come from? And the chicken can't come first because where did it come from? Either way, it's not important which came first as long as both came.
