The chicken came before the egg, amirite?

yes God created the chicken

Exactly. I'm glad to know at least one person on here thinks the same way. :)

are you retarded dinosaur eggs came before chickens

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Actually noah brought the chicken on his ark

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Whether you're a Creationist or Evolutionist, it's the same both ways. For Creationists, God created the chicken. For Evolutionists, the egg was an egg of whatever came before the chicken, and it only became a chicken during development, when it hatched.

But then the egg that chicken came from was a chicken egg. Well wait, are eggs defined by what lays them or what hatches from them?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Well if you had seen the egg it would have looked like the egg of that which laid it. Only the egg the chicken laid would be classifiable as a chicken egg.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Not if there was a mutation. Then it (the creature coming out of the egg) could have looked slightly different to that which laid it.

...that's what I'm saying...

Oh well I guess I meant that I would still call it a "chicken egg" if a chicken came out of it. So it's possible for the egg to come first.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Well no, this is one of those rare topics that both Creationist scientists AND Evolutionist scientists agree on. According to the Evolutionists, the egg would still look like and be classified as (unless you dissect it and analyze the embryo) the egg of the creature that came before the chicken. When it hatched, it would be a chicken.

Dinosaurs had eggs. Chickens are descendants of dinosaurs.

Eggs have been layed and hatched long before chickens were around.

The saying is about the CHICKEN's egg, not just eggs in general.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

The question didn't actually specify...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It's what the saying means. It wouldn't make sense any other way.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I think that if you combine the two theories (and I am religious): God created the egg that the chicken hatched from. 'Nuff said.

How would the egg live?

Idk, I'm not God. Lol

Another type of bird could have sat on the egg.

Umm woah. Apparently when a thread gets too long and pointless it just gets deleted?

Scientific proof that the chicken came before the egg. God created the chicken that hatched the egg. Period.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I'm pretty sure they've never scientifically proved anything about God. If you've seen a study that proves something, please post it.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

you cant have "scientific" proof about something religious, it;s all about beliefs.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I'm pretty sure he was saying that the amirite is true no matter what you believe in, not that God and science are related.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Oh, that's not how I interpreted it. Well then where is this "scientific proof?" Seriously, post a link.

@356364 (Bonbon1213): @356364 (Bonbon1213): that is absolutely no where near scientific...

Okay, I forgot to put an "and" before the second sentence. The second sentence is my religious view. AND United Kingdom scientists proved it. There is a protein that chickens make to make the outer shell of the egg. Look it up on Google.

that question just has different opinions because it's not clear. if it means the chicken's egg, then yea of course the chicken came first to make the egg. but if it's any egg, then the egg came first because the chicken had to come out of something

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I agree that it's unclear because are we saying a "chicken's egg" is "an egg a chicken comes out of" or "an egg laid by a chicken" (I think that's what you were saying but I'm not sure) But I think some religious people will still try to tell you it's the chicken either way, because of the whole 'not believing in evolution' thing

by Anonymous 13 years ago

oh yea, and the religion part. the "oh god just make a chicken out of thin air to be the first chicken just like he made humans" idea, which is pretty annoying

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I don't think people understand the sheer magnitude of organisms which would have had to exist on the Earth at one time if God created every type of organism that ever existed all at once. It's just not possible.

Eggs came way before chickens even evolved

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yeah, I was just about to comment about that. The chicken came before the CHICKEN egg.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

My look on it is, Chickens (Most birds for that matter) are descendants of dinosaurs, the egg that was laid was born a chicken due to evolution.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Here's how it happened according to the evolutionary perspective: Some dinosaur that was almost a chicken but not quite laid an egg that would eventually hatch into an chicken.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Eggs are for breakfast. Chicken is for supper/lunch/dinner. (No need to get all philosophical about creationism/evolution).

by Anonymous 13 years ago

"Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" The question didn't specify a CHICKEN egg. Dinosaur eggs came before chickens; therefore, when the question is worded this way, the answer is that the egg came first. If one were to ask "Which came first, the chicken or the chicken egg?" then the answer would be dependent upon how one is supposed to define an egg. Is it a chicken egg only if it was LAID by a chicken (if so, then a chicken had to lay the first chicken egg; therefore, the chicken had to come before the chicken egg) - or is it a chicken egg only if it CONTAINS a chicken (if that is the case, then the egg came first, and then the first chicken hatched out of it). woot

by Anonymous 13 years ago

One of the roots of this problem seems to be that it is never specified whether a "chicken egg" is laid by a chicken or is what a chicken comes out of (because usually it is both). Define "chicken egg" and a lot of these arguments here could be cleared up.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

the egg came before the chicken because there was dinosaur eggs, and the chicken came before the chicken egg because the first chickens parents where not chickens.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Why can't the be created at the same time? In the viewpoint of a creationist of course.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

For a chicken to be hatched out of an egg, the egg would have to have certain proteins that could only come from a chicken for it to be fertilized.
