I wish to know between the hen and the egg who came first on earth?

Answer 1

The hen was created through the process of evolution, dating all the way back to pterodectyls in the time of dinosaurs. So, to answer to your question, the hen as you know it came from an egg laid by a creature who wasn't QUITE a hen just yet, but very very very close to it. Believe it or not, even hens today are slowly undergoing the process of evolution, as are all creatures, including human beings. So, in a million years the creatures today won't be the same as now. That is by assumption that the current periodic era will last that long, which i highly doubt. With all the extreme weather changes, my feeling is that the world will be wiped out and reborn from the smaller forms of life, such as insects or maybe even bacteria all over again.

Answer 2

Tell me how this theory of mine sounds...there were many animals developing, adapting, and growing before hens and other poultry. When the right DNA code in fetus form (maybe a delicious egg yolk) developed to program a chicken, maybe there were 6 or 8 entities (that one might call a proteiny life-filled yolk) and two or three of them grew into hens, and the hens natural instinct was to guard these weird egg thingies that now have developed a shell on them. So, I would say the DNA code (however it was developed) came before the egg AND the chicken. Love and Respect.

Answer 3

Bawk, Bawk, Bawk -- The chicken (hen)!

Answer 4

I have always enjoyed this question. The story I have always is heard is that it depends on which side of the creationism debate you stand. I have been told that if you believe in God and God created all life in six days, then you must believe the chicken came first If you don't believe in the Creationism theory, then you are supposed to believe that the egg came first. I think both ideas are merely speculation. I believe the primordial ooze came first and all life was born of that ooze. That's a theory that both sides can theoretically agree with. It amazes me sometimes that evolutionists and Christians don't agree on that. Who's to say that "God", didn't create the primordial ooze? I have never heard anyone say that God created the earth in a week, only that it was six days. It could have been one day at a time stretched out over a period of several thousand years...or not.

Answer 5

Well, this has been a question that's been asked for god knows how long, but my guess is this:

If Adam and Eve were created as the first human beings, their first child could only have come from them; becoming the third human being. And if we were to follow the general scheme of things, the chicken had to have existed first and laid an egg second; in the same order as Adam and Eve.

But there's always the question as to whether they evolved from a lower species (in both cases), or if they just magically appeared out of dust, and Eve from Adam's rib?

I think the evolution is a lot more scientific.

Answer 6

If you believe in God the hen came first. If you do not the egg came first.

Answer 7

It is said that the hen came first. It was a mutant (the evolution) of a previously existing animal

Answer 8

God made the animals whole from the earth, so I am taking the view that a whole chicken was made first. God gave the chickens (male and female) the ability to make the fertilized egg later.

Answer 9

Eggs don't come! If hen's do it's irrelevent! A rooster came first! there wouldn't even be a discussion if that wasn't so.

Answer 10

if you believe in god , it is the hen. if you believe in what i think ,it is untold because thehen had to come and lay the egg, but , an egg has to hatch for a han or chicken to come to this wierd world.
