Question

What came first? the chicken, or the egg?

Answer 1

I ate the Chicken, and then I ate his leg...

Answer 2

An egg that wasn't a chickens egg. Chickens have evolved into what they are now over a long process of time.

Answer 3

The Egg. No question. When has a chicken popped out from thin-air? According to evolution it would have come from a micro-organism then evolving into an animal(bird creature) laying eggs and hatching to evolve into a chicken.. etc etc..

Answer 4

The egg was laid by an ancestor of a chicken, the first chicken hatched out of that egg.

so, in answer to your question, it was the egg.

Answer 5

d**n GOOD QUESTION!

but i think god  created all creatures so i would have to say the chicken.

Plus.....god created  us 1st, (god created the woman before they were able to give birth, right? So i figuer he had to make the chicken first before it was able to lay an egg,. at  least that's my theory......

Answer 12

This question you've asked is almost as good as asking how could you notice Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, when they are topless?

My answer would be, 'Adam and Eve wouldn't have a belly button' would they???

The Chicken came first, who laid the egg that hatched for countless more eggs to be produced.

Answer 13

THE CHICKEN!!!

I hate when people say the egg came first! It didnt!!!

Answer 14

its chicken.....

if u would ask which came 1st, chick or egg?then the answer would be egg....

think in biblical way.......

God created all the animals.......so, definitely God created the rooster and the chicken so that they can mate.

so, even from there, u would definitely say that chicken came 1st.

Answer 15

The Chicken - it AND the rooster evolved from other animals, then went between the sheets, and produced the egg  :-)

if you believe in evolution, than the egg, think about it, when the first modern chicken (fancy latin name for chicken here) came, it was the daughter of a slightly different chicken, and therefor, the first modern chicken existed in an egg, and then hatched.

Answer 23

Chicken.

Adam and Eve weren't babies here.

Answer 25

A circle has no beginning or ending, that is your answer.

Eggs were around long before the first chicken arrived. Of course, they may not have been chicken eggs as we see them today, but they were eggs.

Answer 27

Answer 29

I was told that the chicken evolved from dinosaurs therefore the egg came first as it was hatched from a dinosour

I dont know whether this information is correct as it cannot be proven... but it answers the question.

Answer 30

the fact IS that TIME is like the EARTH we used to think of the EARTH as being FLAT and moving from POINT A to POINT B in a linear fashion. Well when it was discovered that the EARTH was not FLAT and was ACTUALLY SPHERICAL it went a lot deeper than just GEOGRAPHY. In fact EVERYTHING is Spherical even TIME which means there is this LINEAR ILLUSION of time/space an many physicists agree that time is spherical and that past present and future are not what they seem. There are many many theories about time. Which means that CAUSE and EFFECT is actually just a CIRCLE with no beginning or end but two aspects of the same thing. So what seems like a linear progression with ONE preceding the other may just be the way the conscious mind interprets information and the only way it can be processed and understood. So there is this illusive idea of linear time that makes the CHICKEN and EGG question seem so IMPOSSIBLE to ANSWER.

IF an EGG is something that comes out of a CHICKEN than HOW could it come first. ?

But if a CHICKEN is somthing that comes out of an EGG than how can it come first.?

Its all the SAME thing happening at the SAME time.

Answer 31

Since according to the Bible God created all things He would have created a male and female chicken which would then reproduce by laying eggs so the chicken came first
