Which came first, the egg, or the dinosaur?

Question

On the "egg or chicken" note, let's go with the theory of "chickens are evolved birds, birds evolved from dinosaurs, dinosaurs laid eggs". Then would there be any scientific explanation or theory about the dinosaur/egg situation? I was just sitting here thinking about that, so I asked.

If you have no idea, be creative, I would like to hear opinions too, even if they're imaginary!

*expects a lot of "GOD MADE THEM" and won't pick those as best answer*

Answer 1

But the question is, in fact, an obfuscation. It is not intended to provide and real scientific information. The process of evolution allows that "the egg" would come about as a series of modifications that helped a given life form to be more successful. Each modification toward the eventual "egg" might have resulted in many different species over millions of years.

By the time you get to Dinosaurs or Chickens the whole question is mute. They are each descended from earlier species that laid eggs as a means of procreation.

Answer 2

I think the that dinosaurs came first. Without a pair of dinosaurs, how can you get an egg. Same thing as a chicken, you have to have the opposite sex reproduce before you get an egg, plus it has to be incubated....so yeah the dinosaur/chicken came first.I dont expect this to get a best answer, but in JOB chapter 40 and 41, it describes giant creatures like what we think as dinosaurs. Sorry for the preaching.

Answer 3

There must have been egg-bearing amphibians before thedinosaurs. Remember: Sharks lay eggs. They are funny-looking, but they are eggs that develop embryos that later emerge as pups. And sharks predate dinosaurs on the evolutionary ladder. Same with crocs. Modern-day crocs lay eggs just as much as their extinct giant ancestors, and crocs predate dinsoaurs as well. Not a chance that those huge crocs of the past were live-bearing. They laid eggs.

So what came first? EGGS!!!!

Answer 4

Eggs where there long before dinosaurs.
The reptiles before them laid eggs (and still do).
The amphibians before them laid eggs (and still do).
The lobe-finned fishes before them laid eggs (and still do).
And bony fishes before them ... and the cartilegenous fishes before them ... and pretty much all the way back to the first multi-cellular organisms that used any form of reproduction other than division.

So the egg was first ... by more than 600 million years.

Answer 5

I think the dinosaur came first coz species keep evolving and so each dinosaur had to lay an egg that would give birth to a new, evolved species of those big guys. That's how they finally evolved into crocodiles and.............. lizards!!!!!!!

Answer 6

The dino came first because a dino egg has to be laid by a dino.
The first dino to lay a dino egg could have evolved from some other species.

Answer 7

Eggs because of the fact they could have shaped from some technique in some equilibriumic, subject that existed at that element like perhaps a particular temperature, atmospheric rigidity, organic and organic and inorganic activities, ph and humidity.

Answer 8

how did we get the dinosaur without the egg.?
makes sense to me,.but i have yet to even see a dinosaur fossil, or egg or dinosaurous rex,.,.fictional perhaps,....,..

keep looking,.good luck,..,
