Answer 1

Answer 2

Well, I am not quite old enough to tell from first hand experience, but the account in Genesis gives the impression that the animals and humans were old enough to reproduce when God made them. A single egg can not reproduce with anything. We do not hear of time passing before the animals, or Adam & Eve were able to populate the earth. In fact, God told them to be fruitful and multiply. Genesis 1:22. We can not be completely sure, but I would say chicken first. And this must be stringently believed or else!!! JUST KIDDING! By the way, the ark/flood thing doesn't come until thousands of years later.

Answer 3

The chicken..because of the egg......

The egg is a marvel of Creation...

Ever look at it...bet you can't see the 50,000 little tiny hole for fresh air to come in, and CO2 to dissipate.

Funny thing about those holes...a few more, they shell would be too weak, a few less, the air exchange rate would be too slow.

But how does the chicken fetus get that air you ask, after all, it's inside all that gooey stuff..

Well that little white squiggly thing that is attached to the yolk..see, that was the air hose, and it was attached to that film that is between the shell and the white. That stuff you gotta peel away after you boil it. That actually is a little diaphragm, and seal so that the air isn't dissipated into the white...but sent directly to the baby chicken.

Now, when our little marvel of Creation is ready to hatch, it must separate itself from that air hose and poke through that membrane...obviously...

So wait you ask, how does it breathe for that time while it's poking through that shell if it's disconnected to it's lifeline?

Ever notice that the white doesn't actually fill the shell????

That's where the last little stage of air is supplied. There is just enough there for that chick to breathe, while he struggles his way to freedom...

So, the real question is "how many eggs did some feathered creature have to lay...before by random chance he got it all right?"

Answer 4

That depends on what you believe. If you believe evolution is true, the obvious answer would be a chicken that has evolved from a lizard after millions of years. If you believe in creation, the chicken came first, because God created the birds in Genesis 1: 22. Either view, the chicken was made/created first.

Answer 5

Chicken.

Answer 6

God created a male and then a female chicken that then when they reached puberty started laying the first eggs. The same story like Adam and Eve but chickens.

Answer 7

according to National Geographic, scientists have settled the old dispute over which came first--the egg or chicken. They say that reptiles were laying eggs thousands of years before chicken appeared, and the first chicken came from an egg laid by a bird that was not quite a chicken. That seems to answer the question. the egg came first.

Answer 8

The hydrocarbon chains, then the amino acids, then the cyanobacteria.

Then the egg. The chicken would have evolved from some previous creature that laid an egg that hatched a chicken.

Answer 9

Various animals (including dinosaurs) were laying eggs millions of years before there were chickens, so the egg came first.

Answer 10

There's no chicken without an egg.

Answer 11

Scientifically, the chicken through whatever you believe. Evolution = Chicken
Religon = Chicken
