Which is not what a literal interpretation of Genesis would be, Genesis would teach god made the chicken first.
Do you believe, as I do, that the egg came first,
and perhaps the spiritual value in knowing the egg came first, is the first step on the path of knowledge.

Well, first came the "pre-chicken" then the egg inside which the "pre-chicken" transformed into the chicken. Technologically the egg came first, genetic transformations are possible only in the period of the embryo.

At the risk of insulting anyone past the 6th grade, we know that the egg comes from the work of one male and one female participants. This "work" when successfully done, develops into an egg, thereby producing life of a chicken. Unfortunately, eggs cannot just "appear" on their own. Some farmers are very pleased with that fact.
A resistance to believing the explanation of animal given in Genesis, does not make it fictional. It just identifies someone's indifference to life cycles and their resistance to God's intervention. This resistance is your right if you want to exercise it, but won't bring you any extra honor or respect. Since it has already been proven, we really need to accept this life cycle process and move on to "really" important matters...like how we can take these eggs, animals and our extra money to help feed the homeless and the poor. Are you interested in helping them?

I would have to say the chicken. How can a single cell organism evolve over time like everything else to become an membrane in a shell to become a living creature? Even if the egg came from another creature other than the chicken itself, it still came from another animal. Therefore, the egg still didn't come first.

nicely i think of it became a chicken that got here first and laid an egg which hatched a fowl. in any different case, the completed species might have extincted. think of roughly it. an egg, hatch right into a chicken no hubby! and if it became a fowl he might have died on my own! So the 1st answer is the wonderful answer! yet once you think of roughly it, who's the fowl interior the 1st case? If it became evolution,then its very troublesome probability which you get 2 evolution on the comparable time, which got here approximately to be the fundamental gender besides! So if we assume that a fowl became cutting-edge, this makes us bypass on the comparable cricle,became there 2 eggs first or a million chicken & a fowl first! good success figuring this out :) in basic terms positioned your self comfortable and luxuriate in KFC sensibly :)

In all the years that Man has been able to document events, has anyone seen any VISIBLE CHANGES (other than extinction and crossbreeding) in animals? Have chickens gotten smaller or larger with time?(without the Help of man..i.e. Genetic Engineering) Have horses, ox, or buffalo gotten any hairier or become less hairy? In all of the time that man has been able to write have any animals changed?
Having lived in Durango Colorado most of my life, I can Honestly say that I have seen the climate change from having around 3 feet of snow on the ground throughout the entire winter, to having an occasional 4 or 5 inches of snow fall and melt away the next day leaving us with frozen mud. The last time they had the "usual" 3 or more feet all winter was back in 1992 or 93. The next 2 yrs were around 1 foot on average. From then on has been 5-7 in. snowfalls that only stick around for about a week or two, snowing like once a month at best.
Now that's Documented, Visible Changes over time. Sorry to report that no frogs have been reported growing wings or tails or even shells to help them adapt and cope with the changes in their environment!! The chickens however, have reported that their feathers aren't cutting it and that they'll be practicing growing fur to help them endure the now icier winds!!!

Absolutely. There have been a finite number of chickens who have ever lived -- therefore there had to be a first chicken. Its parents would be chicken-like -- but not chickens (otherwise this wouldn't be the first). This chicken hatched from an egg -- therefore the egg came first.

Yes, the egg came first. But I don't consider that to be the first step on the path of knowledge. For one thing it requires knowledge of evolution, so it must be at least the second step.

I was in Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles (the one in Pasadena, notHollywood) not all that long ago, for Sunday brunch. I can tell you that in this one instance (I ordered the the Stubby - 1/4 chicken, two eggs, grits, biscuit) they came at the same time.
But I think the eggs took less time to cook.

Yes, we know for a fact that shelled eggs developed in reptiles, long before birds existed. But of course chicken eggs didn't precede chickens. Chicken eggs and chickens developed gradually and simultaneously, so neither actually preceded the other.

No the chicken came first when God created it, how did you get a egg without the chicken? I got the chicken because God created it.
