Answer 2

It does sound puzzling at first, but how much does one have to think until one realizes that both chicken and egg must necessarily have come from something that is neither a chicken nor an egg? This answer was knowable centuries before biology came about, yet people assumed there was some unsolvable mystery behind the issue.

The modern chicken is generally believed to be a descendant of "Archaeopteryx", the oldest known bird. This 150 million year old resident of the Jurassic period laid eggs, and at some point of time, evolved into an animal that was one generation away from being a proper chicken.

"The egg came first.

DNA mutations occur in the early stages of life of organisms. As you know, when new cells divide, the DNA within the nucleus separates nucleotides and duplicates, then two new helix are formed.

The amino acids responsible for mitosis are prone to make mistakes to the genetic architecture-- a beautiful system of flaws that cause evolution and diversity in species. It's like the reason why children will look like their parents, but not approximately, they are a combination of both parent's ancestor genetic history and the result of new combinations in the DNA helix.

So according to fossil research, before the chicken was the "proto-chicken" and this bird was almost chicken, but not quite. Well this proto-chicken laid an egg with a mutation, and the interior change of the DNA was enough that the exterior of the new bird could be thought of as a new species.

The first chicken had to hatch from a chicken egg to qualify to be a chicken, so the egg came first. or was it the chicken?

Answer 3

From a non scientifically trained evolutionist as well as non trained creationist would say, "Of course it's chicken." An egg could not evolve into a new species, its a process of evolving into a creature who lays an egg that may be labeled as a new species. At same time I have not heard of Judeo-Christian God who created an egg to mature into a chicken. God created a mature being in all His creation, including the man. It's the chicken.

Answer 4

The Chicken

Answer 5

It's how you view it.
What happened is, when a family member of the chicken layed an egg, the egg was malfourmed. Out of this came the chicken, who layed a chicken egg.

So first, there was the "Chicken" egg, then a chicken, then a chicken egg.

Answer 6

Creation appeared prior to procreation, so the chicken appeared in its complete form and then an egg appeared. The reason for this viewpoint is because the Creator was and is in charge, and doesn't have to rely on anything else to create a complete thought or creation. The chicken is the complete thought.

Answer 7

Religious sense:

The chicken came first because God created chickens not eggs.

Answer 8

efw, you're inches from completing your detailed explanation.

to help motivate an answer to the question dangling at the end: It's the egg that comes first. After a new species arrives, we can trace the causal history back to the egg. You may suffer some indeterminacy before it hatches, but unlike Shrodinger's cat, it doesn't matter to us after you open the box.

Answer 9

the chicken. God created the heavens and the earth and everything in them, and since Adam wasn't put on the earth as an embryo i think that it was the same with the chicken. so ya, the chicken came first.
God Bless!!
