how do u no which came first the chicken or the ege?

Question

it takes a chicken to have an ege but it also takes an ege to have a chicken.

Answer 1

well, I guess the answer would have to be the egg. The creature that laid the egg would not have been a chicken but something very genetically simular. The first chicken(s) would have had to have been a mutation from the original parents.

Answer 2

you have just encountered the PARADOX. this is the very root of phylosophy. so which came first, the chicken or the egg? well the egg answer isbacked by an apparently compelling principle: every chicken comes from an egg. the trouble is that there is an equally compelling principle supporting the opposite answer: every egg comes from a chicken. the riddle of the chicken and the egg rests on a false presuppostion. niether came first because each chicken comes from anegg and each egg comes from a chicken. chickens have only been around for a finite amount of time, therefore eggs must have preceeded chickens or vice versa. EGGS NEED TO BE HATCHED, AND CHICKS NEED TO BE REARED, THEREFORE SOME NONCHICKEN MUST HAVE SERVED AS A PARENT. CONSEQUENTLY, THERE WAS A CHICKEN EGG BEFORE THERE WERE ANY ADULT CHICKENS. HA

Answer 3

Nah--lots of creatures can lay eggs--fish, reptiles, amphibians, other birds, monotremes, insects, arachnids, crustaceans. Even regular mammals have eggs, though they do all their growing within the body.

And some of these creatures were laying eggs long before there were chickens, so that question's really rather easy.

Answer 4

God created "Elements" first.Three elements carbon,hydrogen,and oxygen interacted to produce "Organic matter" next.More complex organic matter came next.A "single cell" came next.It was totipotent (capable of producing-like a STEM CELL- anything).Egg is one such "Big cell".Egg produced both a male anf female version of "chicken".(as twins).If chicken came first where is the question of having an egg without a partner of opposite sex?

Answer 5

I think the egg came first because there is no way to form a chicken unless it has been concieved and has hatched from an egg. I dunno what put the egg there (God perhaps), but I think the egg was created first.

Answer 6

All existence came from the cosmic egg. The egg has to be the first.

Answer 7

There were eggs long before there were chickens.

Answer 8

The egg, or zygote came first. we all come from single celled organisms from the sea, they are in fact mostly resembled to the egg

Answer 9

Perhaps it was the question that came first.
