which came first the chicken or the egg?

Answer 1

God created everything. So Chicken came first.

Answer 2

A geneticist, a philosopher and a chicken farmer say they have found the answer to a great evolutionary puzzle.
The experts looked at the evidence in the long-standing debate over which came first - the chicken or the egg - and opted for the egg.

Professor John Brookfield, a genetics expert from Nottingham University, said the first chicken must have started out as an embryo in an egg.

This means the organism in the eggshell would have the same DNA as the chicken.

He explained that the reason was due to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal's life.

Professor Brookfield said: "The first living thing which we could say unequivocally was a member of the species would be this first egg, so I would conclude that the egg came first."

Professor David Papineau, an expert in the philosophy of science at King's College, London agreed that the first chicken came from an egg and this proves there were chicken eggs before chickens.

"I would argue it is a chicken egg if it has a chicken in it," said Prof Papineau.

"If a kangaroo laid an egg from which an ostrich hatched, that would surely be an ostrich egg, not a kangaroo egg," he added.

Charles Bournes, chairman of trade body Great British Chicken, said "Eggs were around long before the first chicken arrived.

"Of course they may not have been chicken eggs as we see them today but they were eggs," he said.

Professor Brooke added the debate could finally be laid to rest.

Answer 3

The Egg is Liquid Chicken. The first one was layed by a Thunder Chicken

Answer 4

I would say the chicken. The chicken is what actually produces the shell of the egg so it must be the evolution of the chicken that then formed the egg non?!

Answer 5

The egg or the chicken or the chicken or the egg.
All my life I've been figuring out....which was the first one to come out! Please won't someone answer me. On my knees I beg!
Which came first? The chicken or the egg...the egg or the chicken or the chicken or the egg.

Answer 6

Chicken came first, because long long back ..when swans used to deliver chicks to chickens. They used to be late and sometimes drop the chicks as they were more interested in delivering human kids. But that didn't worry the chickens, but when they saw that swans gave an offer to humans that all babies are free if not delivered within 25 minutes flat. As this offer was not open for chickens, they started researching on an alternative way. And one of the "chicken" (the first one to lay an egg!!) said "Eureka!!! see this shell? ...it holds all the dough needed for the baby ..just eat grains and crap and you can make it in your body"

Soon most of the living things started copying the technology ...though we never got to learn how to make the shells ...but it works alright !

Answer 7

If you belivbe in go and the adam and eve thing, then it would be the chicken. God created the chicken the chicken had the egg

Answer 8

Hmm.... I don't know, either one is my guess. If the egg comes first, there must be a chicken around. But if the chicken comes first, it has to come from an egg.

To me, this has been asked by many and debates are around it.

Answer 9

The Chicken came first! When 'God' (I'm not religious, this just makes my point valid) created Adam and Eve he did not send them down to Earth as sperm and an egg. Therefore he did not send down a chicken as an egg. And it is as simple as that :D

Answer 10

The Chicken. It evolved from its reptile ancestors and over years of evolution it became a chicken. Laid an egg and another chicken popped out.

Answer 11

The egg
