wat did rly come first? the chicken or the egg?

Answer 1

No question about it, the egg came first - it just was not a chicken egg.

Answer 2

Well despite any religious ideas, The Egg! It was created over time through different species' and eventually the egg began to produce what was the beginning of a chicken and again when the species moved on and crossbred it developed the chicken. One could say "well if it was a different species then where did that species come from. An Egg! To get deeply into it would discuss evolution and we wouldn't want to have people not believe in that huge Arc that Noah made by himself as he had to scale the entire globe to find every animal, insect etc to put on the arc!

Answer 3

Sigh, education in America is so appalling.

The egg. Basic genetics, the mother of the first chicken would be similar to a chicken, but the egg has the new genes to be an actual chicken.

How do you get new dog breeds? Inter-breed animals with traits you desire until you get what you want and it breeds consistently. The mother of the golden retriever may have been a yellow Labrador or already a mixture, depending on how many litters were needed to get the traits desired. With dog breeding still bringing in quite a bit of money, this sad over breeding of pets still goes on.

Answer 5

Here is a small story to answer your question, and also just for entertainment:

People often ask, as an idle question, whether the process of evolution began with the chicken or the egg. Was there an egg out of which the first chicken came, or did a chicken lay the fisrt egg? I am in a position to say that the first thing created was the egg.
When God had manufactured all the eggs out of which the fishes and serpents and the birds and the mammals and even the duck-billed platypus would eventually emerge, he called them embryos before Him, and say that they were good.
All embryos are very much the same. They are what you are before you are born, and wheter you are going to be a tadpole or a peacock or a cameleopardor a man, when you are an embryo you just look like a peculiarlyreplusive and helpless human being.
The embryos stoof in front of God, and with their feeble hands clasped politely over their stomachs and their heavy heads hanging down respectuflly, and God addressed them.
He said "Now, you embryos, here you are, all looking exactly the same, and We are going to give you the choice of what you want to be. When you grow up you will get bigger anyway, but We are pleased to grand you another gift as well. You may alter any 3 parts of yourselvesinto anything which you think would be usefull to you in later life."
All the embryos thought the matter over politely, and then, one by one, they stepped up before the eternal throne. They were allowed three spcializations, so that some chose to use their arms as flying machines and their mouths as weapons, or chrackers, or drillers, or spoons, while other selected to use their bodies as boats and their hands as oars.
All these boons were granted. Everybody specialized in one way or another, and some of us in a very queer ones. For instance, one of the desert lizards decided to swap his whole body for blotting-paper.
The asking and granting took up two long days, and at the very end of the 2nd day, they had got through all the little embryos except one. This embryo was Man.
"Well our little man," Said God. "You have waited till the last, and slept on your decision, and We are sure you have been thinking hard all this time. What can we do for you?"
"Please god," Said the little embryo, "Ithink that You have made me in the shape which i now have for reasons best known to Yourselves, and that it would be rude to change. If i am to have my choice i will stay as i am. I will not alter any of the parts which you gave me. If I want a boat, i will try to construct it out of trees. If i want to flyi will put together a chariot to do it for me."
"Well done," exclaimed the Creator in delighted tones. "Here, all you embryos, come here and with your beaks and whatnots to look upon our first Man. He is the only one who has guessed Our riddle, out of all of you, and Wehave great pleasure in conferring upon him the Order of Dominion over the Fowls of the Air, and the Beasts of the Earth, and the Fishes of the Sea. Now let the rest of you knock of for the time being. But Man, before you go..."
"Well?" Asked Adam, turning back from his dismissal.
"We were only going to say," said God shyly, twisting His hands together. "Well, We were just going to say, God Bless You."

Answer 6

do you think that the folks on yahoo will have the answer to this question that's been asked for hundreds of years?

personally, evolutionally or creationally speaking, i would say the chicken. either God created the chicken when he created all the animals (it did not say he created a bunch of eggs), or something evolved into the chicken, which then went about producing eggs. everything evolved from blue-green algae, not eggs, so...
