chibi-master Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Okay, it's the age old question! [B]Which came first: the chicken or the egg?[/B] What is your guess? Why? I think the egg came first! I believe that some different birds bred until they developed the chicken! So how about you?
Haku877 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Well based on ones religion(Like my own) I would say the chicken. Only for the sole fact all animals were created thus to next reproduce so the chicken must of come first. but that's only an opinion.

Although theoretically the egg would have to be fertilized to be a chicken, so if the egg did come first, the rooster would've technically had to come first. Haha, I'm so witty.[/FONT][/COLOR]
jomz Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 if the egg came first - it would have been only one chicken as a result (or a rooster if it was male). Under the assumption that it was fertilized and also by some strange circumstance that a fertilized chicken egg is lying there, it also hatches... If that's the case, how on earth could they multiply if there's no one to reproduce with? Same goes with the chicken statement pointed above by Raiha... ;-D
NinjaGirlSango Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I have to say egg, though my view is similar to chibi-master's. If evolution is true, and chickens evolved from prehistoric reptiles or aquatic creatures, chances are those creatures laid eggs. Through natural selection and genetics, the modern chicken would eventually come to be, but it would have been born from the egg to which the genetics were passed on to from whatever the parents may have been considered.
Vicky Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 [size=1]The chicken came first because it's written before the egg.[/size]
TwistedChick Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 A chick can't raise itself. It would simply die if it were alone, before ever leaving the shell. That's the way it is with so many animals it's ridiculous.
Aaryanna_Mom Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 [quote name='Raiha][COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]Precisely. Although theoretically the egg would have to be fertilized to be a chicken, so if the egg did come first, the rooster would've technically had to come first. Haha, I'm so witty.[/FONT'][/COLOR][/quote]And rosters don't lay eggs so by that argument you need a chicken to even lay the egg for the roster to fertilize. So you're back to square one. If religion is accurate, it would make sense that both the roster and the chicken/hen were created at the same time. But that's an opinion only, I've heard both arguments for this and in the end, part of me doesn't really care. Though I rather like Vicky's answer. Chicken does indeed come before egg... =P
ChibiHorsewoman Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 [color=#9933ff]Okay I'll jump in. I say the egg came first because Dinosaurs came from eggs and chickens are closely related to dinosaur. Therefore by that reasoning the egg came before the chicken Yes I know not very detailed. But you'll forgive it because you love me right?[/color]

Octopus Royalty Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I'm pretty sure God made two eggs of different sexes, who then bred after they became adults. And the chicks wouldn't have died on their own...Why would God make eggs to start a species and then just let them get killed off? He wouldn't.

Now, it's my understanding that Genesis states that the animals and man were created on the same day. That doesn't even give the eggs time to hatch before humans have dominion over the animals. According to your logic here, God was protecting those two eggs for [i]maybe[/i] a couple of hours before it was up to ole' Adam and Eve to care for them.[/color] [quote=Allamorph]That's a lie.

I'm pretty sure that God didn't create Embryos first, because that would be a waste...ce n'est pas? The thing is, unless we were there...it was hard to say what came first. This argument has been beat to death with no real conclusion to be drawn. I'll guess we'll have to wait until time travel comes out of the fictitious realm and becomes a reality.[/COLOR][/FONT]
Ellerby Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 [FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]The egg may have come first but it certainly wasn't a chicken egg.[/COLOR][/FONT]
skllngtn Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 I think the chicken i think it all started as bacteria and it turned to a chicken then of course the chicken had an egg lol =]

TheShinje Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 The egg can't be laid before the chicken, the chicken can't be without first hacthing from an an egg. I think the simplest and most reasonable explanation, God made it, is the most realistic and feasable. Ockham's razor, anyone? I mean, chicken and the egg, how does it evolve like that?
