Answer 1

Actually if you believe in evolution then the Egg came first. You see the Hen evolved from something else which laid an egg. A reptile most likely. That from which the Hen evolved having had eggs would necessitate the comming of the egg first.
However, if you believe in creation, then the hen came first. Because God created the Hen on one of the days of creation then sometimes afterward, the hen laid an egg. Hence, in creation, the hen came first.
However there is something deeper. Fish were the first to lay eggs, generally. So the very first thing to lay an egg must have been born before it became the very first thing to lay an egg. Being the very first thing to lay an egg it therefore must have necessitated it being born some other way. Thus the layer of the VERY FIRST EGG must have come into being before the first egg was laid. Therefore whatever laid the first egg, we'll call it THE HEN, came first to lay the egg. Therefore in the real meaning of the question asked. THE "HEN" CAME FIRST. However both probably developed similtaniously.
To the second point: In the APPOCRYFA , the unofficial books of the bible, it states that Adam and Eve had two sons and two DAUGHTERS at the time of the murder of ABEL. Cain took one and SETH, a later child took the other. This of course would mean that the generations that followed were insestuously bred.
Therefore either the bible is speaking of a couple who were so genetically different(which is unlikely, the same species), speaking metaphorically, or speaking completely stupid. Of course their could have been some miracle by God to keep the breeding healthy. But whatever the thing, one thing is certain, given the nature of humanity and of all creatures fish and above, there had to be women at the time. Otherwise it doesn't add up.
Hope this helps.

Answer 2

The first is the hen that lays the egg,the egg is the first that become a hen.God created Adan and Eva is a myth.There is no proof,if that really happen.

Answer 3

Well first of all the egg definately came first because dinosaurs laid eggs and they came along well before hens (or chickens!)

Second, if you are going to do a strict interpretation of the Bible, Adam and Eve had two kids and both were male - Cain and Abel. And Cain KILLED Abel. So maybe this is how monkeys made it into the ancestral gene pool!

Answer 4

Haha.. you are talking about hen & egg or adam & eve ?

If you asked me i would say egg are the on god created first.
From the egg it became a hen & the process goes around.

Answer 5

The hen of course! Who else to lay the egg then set on it for chicks?

Answer 6

Since you went Biblical, I would have to say the hen, because she would need to be present to lay on it and hatch it.

Answer 7

What do you mean by 'what was the first...'If you are using the Adam and Eve analogy....and if Eve was a female...she came first and then her 'egg'....
I stand corrected...

Answer 8

they had more than 2 kids....the bible only states Cain and Abel by name.

Answer 9

Who cares? It was fried and eaten.

Answer 10

I'd say neither.
