Night and day exist simultaneously. This can be demonstrated by looking at the planet from a location in space. Day on one side of the planet is also night on the other side.
Day and night are intermixed and cannot exist without the other.
Any object that gives off light will create a similar effect on any three dimensional object.

Neither. They exist simultaneously. If you just mean darkness, yes, the Earth would've seemed like it was night everywhere before it and it's atmosphere were fully formed.
The egg. Evolution. The only way a chicken could've come first is if it was born rather than hatched and was so mutated that it was an entirely new species compared to it's parents and had a different way of reproducing.
It's not opinion.

ok well there's the bible saying god, but lets ignore that as a lot of scientists have had a lot of trouble asking god if he/she/it did start everything...
so current theory supports "the big bang"... which says it started with light... but there was something before the big bang that started it, our telescopes can only see that before that there was darkness...
on the flip side day and night need a planet and a star... so they happened at exactly the same time as soon as the space debreis got big enough for someone to consider it having a night or a day...
the chicken and the egg is something we'll have to ask if we ever discover that chickens are smarter then they are, and we can translate their vocalizations and body language into a form we can communicate though =P... so I can't say either way...

If you believe in the Biblical account of creation in Genesis ... "There was evening and there was morning, the first day." So, night came first, I guess. The chicken had to have come first. Otherwise, who would have been there to sit on the egg and incubate it? Yeah, night and the chicken definitely came first.

Congradulations on figuring out the obvious. It would be extremely hard to say day came first, when you are surrounded by endless deep dark space, and no one can say how far that darkness reaches.
We are just a flash in the pan, geologically speaking. The flash may seem big to you and me, but to space, it is just a moment in time.

Let there be light. If you go with this it must have been dark. Chicken or the egg, good luck. To point you in the right direction, go back to the 1st chicken.

if u look at it technically the egg must've came first. some extinct bird inhaled too much gases from volcanoes or something and mutated, laying the egg of some new species (the chicken)

What about the eyeless fish on the ocean floor that do not know either?
What about Mercury, half of which has permanent day and the other half permanent night?
