The egg! I'm going on the scientific basis; mutations occurred, which then gave birth to chickens. If the chicken did come first, then how was it created? From a species prior to the chicken. The chicken is different from the previous species because of its DNA. How did the DNA change? From mutations. The chicken was then first an embryo, which I suppose could be considered as the egg. Point being, I'm not sure if the chicken came from a species that laid eggs, but the embryo definitely came first.

I'm going on my gut feeling. Wink I have always thought the egg came first.

This depends on how precisely one defines species. There are many different definitions of speciies, not all of which are biological.

That depends on one simple thing:  Pro-Creation or Pro-Evolution?

Pro-Creation:  Did God make the egg or the chicken first?
Pro-Evolution:  Was the first "real" chicken created from a mutated egg that was a chicken egg or otherwise?
Pro-Cynic:  Who cares?

^"Go cross the road!"  xD


BTW how could the chicken have come first?  If you take evolution, it would have been a mutated egg that was the first "real" chicken, right?  You couldn't just mutate from a non-chicken to a chicken without going through the egg.

I happen to find in my library book of weird facts that scientists belive that chickens evolved from the Falcarius utahensis which layed eggs so the egg must have come first. It looks like almost all of us agree on that. Cheesy

True dat. Unless you are a pro-creationist.

The definitions of species used for organisms that are not currently alive are different. Just throwing that out there. Some definitions of species are based entirely upon where the organism lives.

The universe came first. Everything that makes up a chicken was already there before it became a chicken. The first chicken was probably a clump of chemicals on an asteroid for millions of years.

*Sigh*. That's not an option damnit!  Sad I am more like referring to alive things as well.

Okay...
1.A species is a group of organisms unable to reproduce with any other organisms except the organisms in its group
2.If you are pro-evolutionist, then the egg come first we really dont need to continuily talk about it
3.Most people are pro-evolutionist, even some priests and what not.  However, technically you could combine pro-creation and pro-evolution by saying God created the first organism and created evolution, allowing what we have today to become what we have today

Provide a link or proof that it was?


I don't really trust wikipedia unless it's something that's general knowledge, like George Washington or something similar.  I would rather have scientific proof that says that the chicken or the egg came first.

Unless that can be provided, I still believe in creation, which is my personal belief.

Creation does not negate the issue. Creation and Evolution are not mutually exclusive.
