They are both possible answers, can't pick.

This is probably a question that will never be answered to everyone's general satisfaction. Well, I'm bored and resting a bit after dinner, so...

I'd say the answer depends on how one defines the terms in the question, particularly what is an "egg" and what is a "chicken," as well as one's worldview, particularly with regard to the question of origins, as BlaculaKuchuki and likely some others among the 40-plus pages of responses have already said. The question in the OP is simply "What came first... egg or chicken?" and no terms are otherwise defined. The word "Egg" refers to a lot of things, and not just chicken eggs-- so, reptile eggs, frog eggs, fish eggs, dinosaur eggs and so on are all "eggs." If one holds to the Darwinian evolution worldview with regard to origins, the existence of eggs clearly preceded that of chickens by a very very long time.

If "egg" in this question refers specifically to a chicken egg (i.e. an egg produced by a chicken), then by definition, the chicken comes first. However, if "egg" can refer to the egg that produced the first chicken, then again, the egg comes first. In this case, I'm assuming "chicken" refers to a genetic entity derived from some proto-chicken (or "not-chicken" as stated in an earlier post)-- a Darwinian evolution worldview needn't be supposed here, as I'm thinking that today's "chicken," as we know it, was bred and domesticated from other birds.

However, if one holds to a literal Biblical creation worldview with regard to origins (and there may well be other theistic worldviews with their own answer to the origins question-- but I'm not at all familiar with any of those), the answer would probably be the chicken coming first. And yet, the Biblical text doesn't in fact give much specific detail about the creation. The text merely states that God created the various animals, and that He did so out of the ground. We might presume He created them in an adult form (and thus the chicken, or perhaps proto-chicken if we assume the modern chicken was bred from an earlier species, preceding the egg), but the text itself never actually says that. It's theoretically possible, though merely speculation, that He created eggs and (proto-)chickens simultaneously.

In the end, it doesn't seem the answer matters a great deal, so that's enough of that...Time to go do something else...

i think it's 2 chickens.. then comes an egg..

I agree with you guys

no u guys u got it all wrong..it was a rip in the time space continum that coused a black hole to appear ..witch disrupted our world and magicly sent an egg bak in time from another dimension..and thus the chicken was born an so on....duhhh its comen knowldge..didnt u guys sleep during history class?

Death.

Pshhh, the egg of course

How did the chicken get discovered? A single one appeared in a group of dinosaurs? Nope. So it must have gotten discovered through a genetic mutation in an egg

It's has always been a very hard question and soon enough becoming into the quarrel debate among my friends back in the days (We were young)...

It would have to be the egg!

God made the chicken first.

The chicken.
What, so you're saying God sent an egg flying from the sky?

Life.

I had both for dinner.
