    The chicken, the egg didn't just pop out of no where. All this talk of eggs makes me want breakfast.

    Here we go:

    If you believe in evolution, you could simply say that animals that laid eggs evolved that ability before chickens, so eggs.
    However, that's really unsatisfying, so why don't we say it has to be a chicken egg.
    Once again, going off of evolution, we assume that the first modern chicken must have hatched from an egg from that of a very slightly less modern chicken. If our definition is that it must be the egg of the chicken we know and love, then the chicken is first, because the first egg that produced the chicken was not a chicken egg, so therefore it must have produced the first egg itself. So, the chicken
    Let's try that again with creationism.
    Pretty much all creationism beginnings of animals that I know of state that they were all created at once, suggesting that they were already in their animal forms, not unborn or in eggs. So, the chicken.

    Therefore, we conclude that most all beliefs point to the chicken being first. :)

      Agree, but your first line is confusing.
      Since evolution is the truth I'll say I 'believe' it, so obviously I'm in that category.

      But I say the chicken was first, since the 'less modern chicken' (or more appropriately, NOT a chicken at all, but some strange bird thingy, laid its egg. If you were there (even as a scientist) you'd say, hey that DODO chicken looking thing, just laid its DODO egg, NOT a chicken egg!

      The chicken then hatches out, and you would say, I call this strange new breed, a chicken. Which was born from that DODO prehistoric egg :D

          No, I don't see ANY evidence of design in anything at all.
          I only see the natural evolution of all life and the universe.

          I mean what the hell are you looking at? :D

    The egg, as the chicken evolved from the egg.

      I'd like to reply to your comment with my idea (I'm not the topic starter though).

      It was the chicken ;)

      A strange creature (now extinct) laid a 'strange creature' egg.
      The egg was originally defined as the 'strange creature' (now extinct) egg.

      The egg hatched, and this mutant new life form was born.
      The life form was, much later on, labelled a chicken.

      Therefore the chicken came first ;)

        If there was such a "strange creature" surely evidence of their existence would have been found through fossils or some other means.

        Where did this strange creature come from? If this is the earliest known form of a chicken would an egg not be required for it to have life?

        Unless chickens used to be mammals (imagine that, hairy chickens) which is very unlikely there must be some sort of egg at the start.

          Look we all (all life) go back to single cell life forms, so the creature before the chicken? Who knows but it obviously existed.

          Call this extinct creature a Chicbarby.
          So the Chicbarby laid a Chicbarby egg.

          Note: There is NOTHING else it could lay, it can ONLY lay a Chicbarby egg.

          Anyhow..
          The egg hatched and out popped this mutant creature (hmm, must have formed in the CHICBARBY egg).

          We now call it a ChicKEN

            Don't get sarcastic on me. It's not professional.

            So you're saying a "chicbarby" isn't a chicken. This still means the egg came first as you'll see from my first comment, the chicken evolved from the egg.

            Therefore, the egg came first ;)

              yes my penis evolved from a monkeys ass and my body from a donkey. Fack evolution. Cells do not change, they only mutate and a mutation where we are symetrical and have equal toes and hands. Is not possible

              I replied to user IncludedSos, further down.

              Note: When people say 'The chicken or the egg'. They are implying ' the chicken or the chicken egg'
              Obviously there was no chicken egg before the chicken evolved ;)

              And yes I have been told often that I am sarcastic. Its very irritating to hear that all the time :D
