What came first the Chicken or the Egg?

Question

its the glow from the holyghost msriss24...j/k i have no clue but it could be the glow

Answer 1

The chicken accroding to Genesis

GEN 1. 20. And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Answer 2

It has to be the chicken. Think about this. The chicken must unite with the rooster to lay its eggs that will hatch to become a chick. If an egg appear first, if an elephant sat on it and hatch it will crack and that the end of it. Even, say an ant sat on it to hatch, the egg will have to be hatched as an ant.
So, really this is very simple. I do know why people are making thing so hard.

Answer 3

The egg came first.

What we know today as the chicken evolved from an ancestor which resembled the chicken, but wasn't exactly a chicken. Through mutation and natural selection, the ancestor-chickens had babies which increasingly resembled modern chickens.

One can assume that one day an egg hatched and a modern chicken came out. The creature who laid the egg would not have been a chicken. It would have been a chicken ancestor. But some mutation or combination of mutations made its offspring different in some way - some way that made the offspring a modern chicken.

So, indeed, the egg came first.

Answer 4

The Egg

By definition, an animal isn't a chicken unless it is hatched from an egg. So the egg must precede it.

However, the egg does not need to turn into a chicken (or anything else), or come from a chicken, to be an egg.

Therefore, logically, EGG is the only correct answer.

Answer 5

Both at the same time.

This is because a chicken may lay eggs without fertilization, but, only fertilization will cause the eggs to be chicks.

If the egg came first, and hatched and grew up, it'd still be only one chicken/rooster.

However... if they came at the same time, and it was a relatively young chicken, and the egg hatched into a chick that grew into a rooster, after a few years they'd be able to mate and make more eggs that would further on the chicken population.

Answer 6

It had to be the egg. If we truly all started out as single cell organizisms which procreated by division, some genetic mutation caused some creature in our distant past to lay the first egg which hatched the first chicken.

Answer 7

The egg. Eggs were around before chickens were you can study that in science books

Answer 8

The egg. without an egg you wouldn't have a chicken. The chicken developed through the egg.

Answer 9

The egg. Mutations (evolution) occur during gestation.

Since every chicken originates from its egg, it seems obvious the egg came first. Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal's life. The solution may require an examination of syntax and may rely on verification from advances in modern genetic science.

Answer 10

the egg came 1st.

Scientists all aggree. see article in the link http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science/05/26/chicken.egg/index.html

since the genetic code of an individual doesn't change during his life, the 1st chicken was chicken even when he was in his egg.
Therefore, the 1st chicken egg (the egg in which was the 1st chicken before it hatched) was laid by a "close to chicken" bird. A mutation made that egg the 1st chicken egg ever, while its parents weren't chickens.
