which came first..,egg or chicken?

Question

then explain in your own point of view why u choose who came first.

Answer 1

The chicken or the egg is a reference to the causality dilemma which arises from the expression "which came first, the chicken or the egg?". Since both the chicken and the egg create the other in certain circumstances (a chicken emerges from an egg; an egg is laid by a chicken) it is ambiguous which originally gave rise to the other. Purely logical attempts to resolve the dilemma result in an infinite regress, since an egg was caused by a chicken, which was caused by an egg, etc. 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. When used in reference to difficult problems of causality, the chicken and egg dilemma is often used to appeal to the futility of debate and lay it to rest.

History of the problem

The earliest reference to the dilemma is found in Plutarch's Moralia, in the books titled "Table Talk," in a series of arguments based on questions posed in a symposium. Under the section entitled, "Whether the hen or the egg came first," the discussion is introduced in such a way as to suggest that the origin of the dilemma was even older:

"...the problem about the egg and the hen, which of them came first, was dragged into our talk, a difficult problem which gives investigators much trouble. And Sulla my comrade said that with a small problem, as with a tool, we were rocking loose a great and heavy one, that of the creation of the world..."

Various answers have been formulated in response to the question, many of them humorous.

Answer 2

a chicken lays an egg --
hey ho!
then the chick grows into a chicken ,
who , if she is a hen ,will lay an egg

when the egg is hatched ,
he turns out to be a cockerel,
who meets this hen
who lays eggs,

some hatch out as hens
and some are cockerels ,
all the hens lay eggs
Most of the cockerels become Sunday roasts.

Some meet hens in straw filled yards
Then the hens lay eggs.

Now is that a clear explanation
have i answered the question

LOL!

Note; Hens do all the work around here!!!

Answer 3

This is an ongoing joke with my family. At age 16, I came up with this answer:

"Everyone knows that the rooster had to come first, silly."

Now for a serious answer. I think, and this is just my personal opinion, that the egg must have come first. Why do I think that? No idea. But likely because many think that the embryo is the "start of life". Anyway, good question and good luck.

Answer 4

the chicken.

if you look at creationism, the chicken would be created as a living thing before the egg would. If you look at evolution, the chicken would still be first because it would have evolved from something else.

Answer 5

Jurassic Non-Chicken-> Egg ->Triassic Non-Chicken -> Egg ->Great Grandmother of Chicken -> Egg à Grandmother of Chicken -> Egg -> Mother of Chicken -> Egg ->FIRST CHICKEN -> Egg ->Another Chicken » Egg-cetera.

So..Egg.

Answer 9

I think it is egg who came first coz as the time past, evolution happen!!

Answer 10

chicken cause God made the chicken and rooster first to make the egg. If he just made one egg it would not have been able to reproduce.
