I'm dead serious here. Is there a real answer?

I think they already tried to prove this (and succeeded?)
The egg came first only by the logic that a chicken has to first be born from an egg (a chicken not born from an egg isn't a chicken, it's a mammal). They believe it evolved from another animal and the egg the final couples must have had were what eventually became what we know as the chicken.

Yes, there is a true answer...
The egg came first...If you're a christian, (God forbid,) then it was the "philosophical egg" of the word (Jesus, before he was manifest on earth. Also, many primitive cultures believe that the universe hatched from an egg.)
If you are a rationally thinking human being who recognizes that God, if he exists, would have nothing but contempt for any of our terrestrial religions...And that higher life forms evolved from simpler ones...perhaps a flatworm egg may have been the first sexually produced zygote.
Either way...The chicken comes last, just before dessert...

Yes there is a real answer. God created the chicken first then the chicken laid an egg. This question is kinda like, who came first the baby or the adult.

chicken blatantly!!!
not because the bible said it.. lol i think we all know that at least that part of the bible is totally wrong ( ehhhemmm dinosaur? lol)
but because the chicken evolved from an animal that didn't lay eggs. they evolved that way. even if you go all the way back to single cell organism, cos im pretty sure they don't lay eggs

Well, if you believe the bible, and I do, the chicken came first. He made the animals, not the eggs from which they hatched.

Faith = creation = the chicken.
Reason = evolution = the egg.
