Have you ever been asked, "What came first, the chicken or the egg?" well if you haven't, than you are now. so what do you think?

PONDERING... PONDERING... PONDERING...

have you decided yet? get to it man!

PONDERING... PONDERING... PONDERING...

well you have no choice to not have decided by now. you have your answer. here's mine:

"God created the chicken, whether it be egg or full grown. For there is no other way to explain it. So you know who God is, and God is God. God is nice even to chickens and would never do such a thing as rob a childhood from a poor chicken. Therefore, i have come to the answer that the first chicken was born in an egg."

Definitely the egg. Dinosaurs were doing eggs for a while before they all evolved into chickens (well some of them evolved into penguins but that's by the by).

I suppose the more appropriate (from a scientific standpoint) question would be either: "Which came first, the first Chicken, or the first Chicken Egg?" or "Which came first, the first egg laying creature, or the first egg?"

The egg where the chicken hatched from. I don't actually know (and couldn't find) the exact animal the chicken evolved from, but whatever that animal was, it laid an egg, which had a gene mutation, and from that egg came the chicken.

Hmm, I'm not convinced we could make an interesting question out of it. The chicken one would come down to how loosely you would define a chicken, or more precisely it would hinge on whether you defined a "chicken egg" to be an egg laid by a chicken or an egg containing one.

And eggs probably precede egg laying creatures. The first egg laying creature was no doubt spawned (since it would have been aquatic) from an egg which was not "laid" but rather blobbed out in some other fashion.
