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 the chicken emerges from an egg, and the egg is laid by a chicken, it is ambiguous which originally gave rise to the other. Chickens always come from eggs upon which a chicken has sat. The usual point outside of logic, however, is one of infinite regression since an egg was caused by a chicken, which was caused by an egg, etc. The chicken and egg dilemma is often appealed to in pointing out the futility of identifying the original cause in any issue of cyclical cause-and-effect

How odd. So many people are guessing, and wrongly. Only one person got it correct. Of course, the egg came first. To those who think that the chicken came first, where did that chicken come from? An egg, of course. And where did that egg come from? Think evolution.

Have you ever seen or heard of an egg laying a chicken? A chicken could have evolved first from another species. And if that isn't enough if the egg came first who or what kept it warm during incubation?

This question gets asked on an average of once a week I'm noticing.
Creationists theory: Chicken came first
anonymous theory: egg came first
Evolution theory: chicken came first through primordial ooze developing different ranges of creatures in which one developed into a chicken.

The fly. The fly was a conjurer and was hungry and so manifested the corpse of the chicken... finding this a temporary situation the fly came up with a life cycle for its creation and so created the egg.
