tye_dyedfan	The egg. An animal not unlike but not quite the same as what we know as chickens today laid an egg, and from it hatched the first chicken. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ralfcoder	The egg. Evolution gradually shaped the ancestors of the chicken from something that wasn't a chicken into something that was a chicken. The last step was when the proto-chicken laid an egg that hatched out a chicken. So the egg came first. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Chaparilla	Well, what a trick and very well thought question? All I can say that we would have to figure out if the one that layed the first egg ever was a chicken? If yes you layed that chicken if we need a chicken to make an egg? If no is that another thing that God began in this world that we just have to go way way back to answer? Biology may have an asnwer. Great Question. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Pegasus90	I think it was the egg, because the bird that came before was not a chicken - it was "almost" chicken, and the egg contained a genetic mutation that allowed "chicken" to come into being once the egg hatched. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

plumbergirlhelper	if you believe in creation, then GOD created all the animals and then they produced. no where have i read in the bible that GOD created an egg first. he created mankind and then they produced also. but if you believe in the scientist they may tell you that the egg evolved from something and then the chicken was born. you have to choose which do you believe, GOD or the scientists. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

wearewellable	Chicken - Genesis 1: 21. So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22. And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.'' Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Moxie	The chicken cause the egg cant function/survive with out the chicken but the chicken can function with out the egg. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

curiously strong	chicken...you can't have the egg without the chicken and the egg cannot keep itself incubate itself so without the chicken it is doomed. it can't be laid or hatched without the chicken. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

aggieblue	Depends on how you want to look at it. If you want to look at it from a religious perspective, (no offense to anyone out there) Adam and Eve weren't born in the Garden of Eden, they couldn't have been since they were the first humans. They were put there when they were old enough to take care of themselves. You could apply this to chickens. In order for a chicken to be born from an egg, the egg has to be fertilized and then the chick has to be able to take care of itself or it would have died off. Now to look at it through one scientific point of view (which sounds ridiculous to me), an egg would have evolved from a rock. I don't even know how to explain that and make it sound even partly believable. A chicken or a rock. which do you think? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Zoey	Well, I believe in God and the creation story thus I say the chicken. I don't recall Him creating any eggs or bacon. Not in my Bible anyways. smiles Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

d	It was a Chicken. From a Christian point of view God created animals first and not the egg. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kakkoub	The chicken of course. God creates all things and then give them the means to multiply. I am being too serious..but a chicken can lay an egg, but an egg can't lay a chicken. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Bmenace	I'm sure it was the chicken. If the egg came first, you'd have a chick who does not know how to care for himself. He'd be eaten or starve to death. Also, how would the egg hatch on it's own? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

missree	can we please change the record does it really matter? will it really solve all the world's issues? no i don't think it will so it's not really that important. if you really want some answers go to the resolved part of yahoo answers. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

High Jack	The chicken or the egg is a reference to the causality dilemma which arises from the expression "which came first, the chicken or the egg?". Since both the chicken and the egg create the other in certain circumstances (a chicken emerges from an egg; an egg is laid by a chicken) it is ambiguous which originally gave rise to the other. Purely logical attempts to resolve the dilemma result in an infinite regress, since an egg was caused by a chicken, which was caused by an egg, etc. Since every chicken originates from its egg, it seems obvious the egg came first. Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal's life. The solution may require an examination of syntax and may rely on verification from advances in modern genetic science. When used in reference to difficult problems of causality, the chicken and egg dilemma is often used to appeal to the futility of debate and lay it to rest. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
