chicken first or egg first?

Answer 1

As I read word by word in the Webster's Universal Dictionary I first found the word:
1. 'C'hicken: n a young, domestic fowl (page 109)
I then continued when a singular word that attracted me:
2. 'E'gg: means to incite (someone to do something) - (page 176)

Why incite me to go after these words and stir trouble..

Answer 2

It's official - the egg came before the chicken!

If you need a funny answer ..
...i think the one you order first comes first...
..
if you need the fact
Which came firsy,----The chicken or the egg

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. 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.

The Chicken or the Egg, Which Came First?
Logic and reasoning will be used to determine which came first. So sit back, relax, and let your mind truely wonder in these words. Everyone knows that a chicken comes from an egg, but the chicken has to come from an egg first. Or, the chicken ccame first to lay the egg? Both can seem to be logical, why either could come first.

Lets look at it like this. How could either one come about first? Was the chicken or the egg created first? An egg would have to sit around awhile and kept at certain temprature before it could hatch. Some how it would of had to been created or came from something. Likewise, a chicken would have to be created to be wandering around before it could lay an egg.

Possible explanations? How nice for you to keep reading this far. Well, some greater thing or being would have to of created the chicken. An egg would not of been created, because it needs a chicken to take care of it so it will hatch. The egg also did not come from anything, like say, evolving. Therefore, take it that the chicken came first. Now you make it possibles for the eggs to be laid and cared for so that they can hatch.

Lets parallel this with another situation. Humans, how did they come about? Has to be that God created us, we did not evolve from anything. Where are the humans that still have plant parts? There are NONE, so we were created. Say, just for a ridiculous second, that we did evolve, now what will we soon be evolving into, since this can't be the last stage since there wasn't a creator with a plan in hand. Creation is for real, it is true, look at everything around you that God has created for his master plan that he has.

Answer 3

Getting tired of this question - do you know how many times its been asked?

You must understand that its an evolutionary question and that the term chicken is rather arbitrary since its hard to tell exactly where a breed becomes a different species - however I will point out that eggs and chickens are not exclusive - eggs CONTAIN chickens, dont they?

Answer 4

there is a simple and reasonable answer to this question, imo. the animal that we now consider to be a chicken is genetically different from its ancestors. the egg that contained the first 'true' chicken came from an animal that was not a 'true' chicken. therefore it is the egg that came first (and then became a chicken).

Answer 5

it is a repeat question , go to best answer portion some body explain it very clearly with evolutionary basics.

Answer 6

Both, because without male it never produce and with out female it also never produce.

Answer 7

It is a repeat question, some body has answer this and his answer has been chosen as best answer, please search it from yahoo best answer.

Answer 8

Egg....Many organisms with eggs existed long before chickens.

Answer 9

according to HYPOTHESIS:-
Million years ago,due to continous flow of water on earth and due to mixing of chemicals in water,a single celled organism was born
due to UV rays
this has been developing into new species
EXAMPLE:-man from ape
bacteria from that first single celled organism



so in this way chicken also was produced
