This makes me think too hard .

Don't think too hard though, you might hurt yourself.

both

both! it makes them feel happy.

come on guys the chicken came first. how is the egg gonna get there without the chicken hatching it

And how the chicken is going to born without the eggs???
There's not answer for this. LOL!!!!!!

Lol yah, there is no answer, I know it was one or the other, or ....something different *gasp!* ! But I don't think anyone will ever know, maybe in the far far future.

Eggs cant come from nowhere. the chiken came first.

and where do u think the chicken come from??? From the egg. Is going around in circle so there's not answer.

my theory, some other bird thats like the chicken laid an egg and the egg got mutated and stuff and so a new species[chicken] was born.

i dont know and i dont care because either way eat them both

Hah I stay up too late thinking about philosophy so I think I figured it out.

When animals evolved (theory of evolution) through natural selection different birds died off leaving only the survivors and their features. So we are left with 2 different birds that mate. These two birds both have similar features to the chicken but are still a step away in evolution from it. Their features mix and the female lays the egg of the first completely chicken chicken-bird. So in theory...the egg came first.

LOL if you don't understand that read up on evolution and maybe it'll make sence. Then again I'm an idiot so idk.

Yeah I know what you are saying but still, if I ask you what came first the egg or the bird would you have an answer for it???

I would say the chicken came first, without the chicken there would be no egg....but then without the egg there would be no chicken.....but if I was god....I would have created the chicken first.

both they came at the same time

My three point answer:

1. you need a chicken to hatch the egg

2. if the chicken came first how can it mate

3. the chicken & the egg came at the same time so the egg can hatch and mate with the chicken

Mmhmmm, that's what my dad said. But if it wasn't religious, then ...

I think this debate all comes down to religion, actually. I believe in a creation so the chicken came first.



What if there was more then one chicken in the beginning? A rooster AND a hen? That's possible right? 0.0

This is more of a matter between the thories of creation and evolution. This requires much devotion to figure out.

i dunno. either way, you can eat them both

I don't know.....

I'm going with the evolution theory. That seems to make the most sense.

both

One of my favorite topics, and it seems like the chicken is winning right now though. Okay now to the debate. I believe that the chicken came first because I'm catholic and I believe in divine creation. But let's say the egg came first. Who would be there to give it warmth and nurture it till it hatches? Now if the chicken came first...you get the picture.

An egg came from a big Dinosaur and it evolved in the egg and bam! You got a chicken!

I think both too it just makes sense in a stramge way lol

And the truth is UNVEILED!!!!!!

Well I just try to share my knowledge!

LOL you beat me too it when I saw this I was gonna post that the dinosaur came first. Great (or crazy) minds think alike...

Don't know ^^

chickens + rooters came from other prehistoric organisms that mutated 2 adapt 2 the environment and then laid the eggs.

or u can think of this way how do u noe itz the chicken egg they were talking about all along???

ITS BOTH
people would eat all the chickens if they came first and if the eggs came first they would die

both

dinosaurs came first........... then they evoled into chickens (or devoled in my book) so I guess it was the chikcin ............. Pft I don't know what the heck I'm talking about ^^

I would say both....both exist at the same time to start the life cycle.

The chicken. There would be no egg w/o a chicken but a chicken could have developed as a freak accident of nature to lay eggs therefore starting the whole process.

it's both. cause egg and chicken can be first depend on the situation, condition, etc.

THE EGG!!! because breakfast comes before dinner

lol... actually, i have no idea....

*thinks* the chicken comes first withought chicken the egg cant come out after the egg then its the chicken then the egg again then the chicken

its a circle of life

Evolution theory sais that from inorganic material there evolved a living "thing" (procariotic cel) which in millions and billions of years has evolved in larger creatures (not complexer, but just larger = with more cells). Lets say that pre-birds evolved from reptiles (and reptiles ultimately from the first living "thing"), and that these pre-birds slowly (in millions or billions of years) developped themself in all kinds of birds (like you see them nowadays). This means that also the chicken, like you see them now, has evolved himself slowly from the pre-bird-creatures. If this was done in say 100 steps (trough mutation, selection, survival of the fittest, whatever), from which step could you say that the bird is actually a chicken? Since we cant tell, we also cant say whether the egg or the chicken was first.


Btw if you believe in God, there is also something to say for the egg as the first one (unlike all the pple are suggesti ng). If youre asking how and egg is going to hatch without warmth (eggs dont need nurturing...). Well you can simply say that hes receiving warmth from God...

i pick the cow.
oh wait... chicken or egg? nope.. dont know the answer to that.

i have no idea

i think it's both

the farm.

hmm, the Egg came first, if you believe in evolution then the other bird laid the egg which was the evolved form off the bird, which later was known as the chicken, if you say the chicken... you believe in god...

Seeing as how it is well near impossible for an egg to jus by some breed of a miracle survive on its own, and when a chick hatches there is no way it would jus b able to take care of itself, I think the chicken came first.

The Chicken came first then laid the egg

no matter what religon you're in its obvious that the chicken really came first. Frist if your christain God created all the animals, and if you believe in evolution you belive that something evolve into the chicken so its impossible for the egg to come first or even both.

this is the type of question that has no answer so i don't know

there is an answer but y do people want to know, it doesnt change anything

Ill go with both. I think the egg needs the chicken to hatch and the chicken comes from the egg.

Anyway... nobody could probably know which comes first.

The chicken. im christian and i believe God created animals and not eggs. it'd be totally weird if the earth was filled with eggs.
