Chicken or the egg?

[rubah]

Neither could come first, you'd need two of either to get any more

But I'll say chicken, just so they can incubate the eggs^_^

[T-MaN]

I believe God created a chicken who then laid itz egg. ( Yes, i am one of those ppl who believe that God is the creator of all life and death if u were wondering)

[ffrinoa8]

See i agree with T-man because without the chicken to create the egg and nurture its baby it would die......

[Dr.K]

The mutation (bad word? basically the 'change in the genes', chiasma, whatever) of whatever species gave rise to the 'modern' chicken would most likely have occured inside it's sex cells, so that what we call the "chicken" started off inside the egg after it was fertilised, then hatched out. So technically, I guess the egg did come first.

EDIT: Ok. That's basically what Ouch! said. *Monkey slaps forehead*

[Destai]

If I had to guess, Egg. How dos a chickens life start? Egg!

[Cless]

I couldn't be bothered hurting my brain at the moment. So I'll say both. Not the chicken, not the egg, but rather a chicken coming out of an egg put on this earth by aliens! Umm... Yeah aliens!!! :riiight:

Please ignore my silliness. I don't know what's gotten into me today. :shame:

[UltimaLimit]

That's all right, Cless, my theory's only slightly more credible. Actually, it's less credible if you're an atheist, because it runs like this:

One day, God decided to make Himself breakfast. (To those wisearse's out there who'll call me on it, He decided to eat just for the heck of it, OK? Even though He doesn't really need to.) Anyway, He wanted to try something different, so he made a bunch of eggs. He took DNA from every animal and blended it into one to make the yolk. (That, BTW, is why everything tastes like chicken.) He made Himself a big omelette, and after He was done, He noticed He had a few of the eggs left over. Curious, He decided to let them hatch and see what happened. And thus, we have chickens.

The egg, in other words.

What do you think? I solved two mysteries with one theory.

You can't really say unless you were there at the time.

i think the egg

ok evolution has had some weird stages the firt eggs were probably single Organism Cells coming together and taking form this became an egg and allt he adta combines together to make an early chicken and the first chicken nuggets

[Giga Guess]

Ouch! got my answer.

So yeah. Egg.

[Edit] Mott?! What the hell was I thinking...?

[Cz]

Ouch! summed it up perfectly. Quite when the evolution from a previous fowl into the currrent chicken took place is unclear, but before that evolution could take place an egg would have to be laid.

So much for unanswerable questions. :rolleyes2

[Shoden]

think before the fowl think when humans were nothing but bacterium cells

some of these fused together and mutated into eggs these egs became early chickens who could lay eggs to produce more chickens

but these cells could have became a chciekn straight away

unanswerable indeed

such a pointless question but quite amusing

[Giga Guess]

'Course, one does have to define "Chicken."

As in Chicken as we know it, or A chicken's relative straight back to the Primordial Ooze...

[Shoden]

Chickens evolved from giant Dodo birds i saw it on walking with beasts
