*Same question is asked which was asked 1000 times in yahoo Q&A.Pick out all the best answers.
*Such type of questions are having both the options right with reference to logic.
*egg is not possible without chicken , chicken is not possible without egg.
*In nature, living things evolve through changes in their DNA. In an animal like a chicken, DNA from a male sperm cell and a female ovum meet and combine to form a zygote -- the first cell of a new baby chicken. This first cell divides innumerable times to form all of the cells of the complete animal. In any animal, every cell contains exactly the same DNA, and that DNA comes from the zygote.
Chickens evolved from non-chickens through small changes caused by the mixing of male and female DNA or by mutations to the DNA that produced the zygote. These changes and mutations only have an effect at the point where a new zygote is created. That is, two non-chickens mated and the DNA in their new zygote contained the mutation(s) that produced the first true chicken. That one zygote cell divided to produce the first true chicken.
Prior to that first true chicken zygote, there were only non-chickens. The zygote cell is the only place where DNA mutations could produce a new animal, and the zygote cell is housed in the chicken's egg. So, the egg must have come first.

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.

According to evolution, the egg came first. A chicken always comes from a chicken egg. However, due to mutations, it is possible for a chicken egg to come from a creature that is almost a chicken, but not quite.

the assumption of evolution states that species exchange over the years via mutation and sexual replica. on condition that deoxyribonucleic acid would properly be changed purely earlier start, it fairly is argued that a mutation would desire to have taken place at theory or interior an egg such that a creature comparable to a chicken, yet no longer a chicken, laid the 1st chicken eggs. those eggs then hatched into chickens that inbred to offer a residing inhabitants.consequently, in this easy, the two the chicken and the form of its egg stepped forward concurrently from birds that, on an identical time as no longer of an identical top species, steadily grew to alter into further and further like latest-day chickens over the years.

When God created animals he created chickens. The chickens were created with the ability to reproduce...thus the egg.

The egg - critters have been laying them for far longer than chickens, or birds, or even dinosaurs, have been around.

ill say the egg, because they are birds which evolved from dinosours, thus, like crocs, egg temperature dictates gender, a genetical variance, so, its likely that other genetical traits changed when tempature and climate changed, while these eggs were maturing.
