it was the egg that came first, not the chicken, amirite?

atleast explain why you think the egg came first but i disagree with your bullshit posy because an egg is a complex thing

I can explain this one. The question asks about an egg and a chicken. It never said CHICKEN egg, and you know dinosaurs came WAY before chickens. A great deal of dinos laid eggs... And there you have it.

The chicken came first. The egg can't survive on its own, it needs the hen's heat for it to hatch

by Anonymous 13 years ago

a chicken isn't the only thing in the entire world that can incubate the egg

by Anonymous 13 years ago

If you're talking about another animal, then they would've just eaten the egg, not sat on it all day.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

if the chicken was first, then was it a mammal? it was born from an animal? can you even imagine that

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Wait, what?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

lol, if you're saying a chicken was alive and living before an egg had ever existed, you're saying that the chicken was born from an animal and not an egg. it would be like a cat with a mother that would feed it milk.

But then where did the first egg come from? It really doesn't make sense either way, lol

by Anonymous 13 years ago

some other type of bird laid it. a chicken mutated from a baby of that bird.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Hmm, maybe, just maybe....but probably not

by Anonymous 13 years ago

oh so it's more probable to have a mammal chicken than a bird mutation?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It's more probable nobody has any idea and I randomly picked that the chicken came first.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

no, it's probable that no one knows for sure, but picking randomly one answer and then trying to argue it is really pointless.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

The only argument I made was against another animal incubating the egg, which, I guess could happen if a crazy mutation occurred. But mutations don't change something from one species to another, keep that in mind.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

it would change a bird to a chicken. you know, chickens ARE birds. that wouldn't make it change species

by Anonymous 13 years ago

First of all, a chicken and a parrot aren't the same species. Second of all, mutations don't even change something like a pigeon to a chicken.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

lol you know other birds lived in that time era. maybe it was something like a chicken with a longer beak or different feathers, it wouldnt be a chicken. one small mutation and it's the first chicken.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Um, no, not one small mutation, millions of mutations over millennia. It was some bird species which evolved from small dinosaurs which mutated over millennia to eventually become a chicken via natural selection. Not that complicated of a concept.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Who would incubate the egg? Where's the common sense here! The chicken was created 1st.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

another bird could of sat on it.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

And not all eggs are incubated. Snake eggs, for instance, are in most species of snake abandoned by their parents.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

The egg was obviously created first. Who said it had to be a chicken's egg? Why not a dinosaur's egg?

The cock came first...if you know what I mean ;)

If you wanna get all scientifical about it, the egg came first. It had to be from a mutation.

@the_fresh_prince & Chuck Nourish: Dinosaurs laid eggs, and they came before chickens.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It was scientifically proven recently that the chicken came first.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

The chicken and the egg are a never ending cycle where an egg can't live without a chicken nor can a chicken live without an egg. Therefore it is a cycle. Cycles have no beginning nor an end.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

but everyone knows it's a fact that earth was started at some point, you dont think chickens and eggs floated around in space living their cycle before the earth was formed?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I don't mean the actual beings were floating around in space but yes their cells and DNA were.

Genisis 1:21 says that God made the birds in the air. then, in verse 22, it said that he made them be fruitful, and multiply. which clearly means, the chicken came before the egg.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

(Ash.): lol so the chicken DEFINITELY came first if you're christian. if you're like agnostic or something, then you can just go to hell with this stupid question

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Its a fact. THE EGG CAME FIRST. anyone who thinks otherwise is a fuckin moron. Dinosaurs and fish layed eggs long before the chicken existed

by Anonymous 13 years ago

From an evolutionary standpoint, yes. Chickens evolved from another egg-laying ancestor. :)

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Ok, I will admit that if you look at it from evolution...the egg came first. No doubt about it, but if you look at it with just the chicken and the egg then it's a whole different story.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

the egg came first. it doesn't have to be a chicken egg, it can just be an egg. and since chickens were non-existent millions of years ago, another animal could've laid an egg. for example a fish could lay a fish egg and there still wouldnt be a chicken for millions of years later.

http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/07/14/chicken-egg-mystery-finally-cracked/ the chicken came first!! boo-yah!

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Scientists have proven chickens came first. The egg shells have a unique proteins that only chickens can produce. Therefore chickens came first

by Anonymous 13 years ago

OK, the idiocy of scientists has just been proved. Problems with that: #1: How do other birds lay eggs without the protein? They have a similar protein that dinosaurs may have had. #2: When you say "egg shells", so you mean all egg shells, or chicken egg shells?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

So a lot of people believe the egg came first due to mutation or evolution of other species eggs, like dinosaurs for instance. But then the question would present itself again, which came first; the egg or the dinosaur?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Chicken came first. Egg shell formation relies on the proteins only found in the birds ovaries.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Dinosaurs came first. There, problem solved.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

EXACTLY!!

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I honestly don't think that the question was meant to be broken down, with non-chicken eggs and other animals and all that other stuff that is not a chicken, nor an egg... it's just a simple question that is supposed to really make you think, without a bunch of people annoyingly trying to beat the system...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

The question was posed. Therefore, it was broken down.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I'm inclined to say it was the egg--at least that argument makes SENSE!

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Scientists THINK they have proven the chicken came first, but if you consider it evolutionarily it's a load of BS. The egg containing the first chicken (a mutation of a different species of bird) was laid by some other kind of bird, the chicken's ancestor. Perhaps chickens went on to lay their special eggs afterward, but the first chicken hatched from an egg that didn't contain the protein. If you consider that egg to be a chicken egg because it contained a chicken, regardless of the egg's similarity to chicken eggs today, it is clear that the egg came first.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Their reason for thinking the chicken came first was also a lot of BS, for reasons I stated earlier.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I don't care, I just know I'm having the egg for breakfast, and the chicken for lunch.
