Question

In your opinion which came first the chicken or the egg? Also please explain your answer and why that is your opinion.

Answer 1

There were eggs around for millions of years before chickens, so eggs came first.

Answer 2

What would evolve into an egg? Furthermore what would evolve into a chicken, The beginning of all things is beyond our understanding because we try to use knowledge to understand things, we try to reason, we use rationality. It is this way so that we may see our true selves, so that we can see things simply are in existence at their base, which is their ultimate being. If you let go of your rationality which is truly a creation of the ego in a futile effort to satisfy itself or yourself however you want to see the mind that thinks, if you let go of rationality you will see that it doesn't truly matter which came first but that they exist at all that matters, Furthermore the fact that they exist without you understanding their source of creation should tell you that there is a being which is beyond us that does know. For without a creator  what is created. As the matrix would say if you take the Blue pill you believe what you want (Keep your Ego) You take the Red pill (You let go of yourself and your delusions) And i can show you true reality.

Answer 3

Answer 4

the egg came first in my breakfast meal, then the chicken was served during lunchtime... but where did that egg I ate this morning came from? Ah, the chicken I had for lunch laid it... hehehe. Now it's like asking which comes first, the milk or the cow? Basically we're talking about by product here, & a by product could not exist without  its origin.

Answer 5

Oh my goodness, such a simple question. Chicken evolved together, so it doesn't matter, does it? The answer to that is the answer to all "What came first?"; we don't know. Did the tadpole or frog come first? What did the frog evolove FROM? Where did that come from? Some say from the "big bang" or god, but the chicken NEVER started out as a simple chicken.

Answer 6

"A hen is only an egg's way of making another egg. "

Answer 7

the chicken because it had 2 keep it warm

Answer 8

i think the chicken did. the chicken would have to sit on the egg to incubate it, and a sunny day wouldnt do it. it takes 18-21 days for them to hatch, and they have to be turned. the chicken would have to come first because the egg cant come first before the chicken, it doesnt work. i hope that fully answered the question. :D

Answer 9

I think what's more important is that they resulted in scramble eggs which are delicious!!!!

Answer 10

If you believe in God and creation you would say that the chicken came first as God created all the animals, fish, and fowl for His world and they then began to reproduce. I am comfortable with that belief but that is because I believe the Bible.

Answer 11

The Rooster. At least that's what the Hen said.

Answer 12

only GOD knows. chickens hatch from eggs which have to come from chickens.

Answer 13

The chicken came first, then didn't care if the egg came or not.

Answer 14

both at the same time with one being absent the other wouldnt exist.

Answer 15

The egg came before the chicken.

It's a question of evolution. The first chicken most likely would have hatched from the egg of an animal very similar to, but not identical to, the modern chicken.
