Chicken or Egg

A common misconception. Neither is true it was the Aliens. I tell ya

I don't subscribe to the theory that all of the animal and plant life on Earth, which work so much in harmony with each other, crawled out of some primordial ooze millions of years ago. There is too much connection...too many species dependent upon another. So, the chicken came first. It was created by God.

Thanks MyLot. I just spent ten minutes composing a carefully worded and well thought out response; pressed 'post response', and saw my message disappear. Has that happened to you too? It stinks.

I think the chicken must have come first so it could sit on the egg. Anyone else probably would have eaten it since the egg couldn't have escaped. While the chicken might not have been able to escape a faster foe, at least it's not a sitting duck.

Like what the others mentioned, chicken evolved from something else, it's indefinite if their ancestors are egg laying, or mammalia types, or both... I remember one time that we asked a priest about this question, he giggled and answered the most sensible thing, "when God created all creatures, including the chicken, God did not create an Egg first!". Cool priest!

Neither, because it's not black or white (true or false), its gray. According to Darwin chickens must have originated from some other species that is now extinct. They slowly mutated into chickens, so there is no point to tell when it is a chicken and not the other species.
