What came first.. the chicken or the egg??

the egg, because i ate the egg yesterday, and the chicken today.

both I think

Had to be the chicken that came first. After God created the earth and the heavens and the lights he put fish in the sea and the birds in the air. so you see the chicken came first.

the chicken came first and then the egg came

The egg came first, because insects, fish and reptiles all laid eggs of some sort *way* before there ever were birds or their ancestors, theropod dinosaurs. It's like asking which came "first", the seed or the tree. Every green plant living on land came from a seed, long before there were ever trees. Egg is a generic term, much like seed or embryo. It's been around. Chicken is a specific term, a genus and species at least. Source(s): Physical. Evidence. Paleontology. Bones, footprints, imprints of skin and plumage...you know, *forensics*. Science. The kinds of things that run your car when you stick the key in it, light up your lightbulbs when you flip the switch, and allow you to get online when you turn all your *devices on* to access this Internet thingy. :P You know, science, that stuff that only works the remaining 99.9999% of the time out in *reality* as opposed to dusty old fairy tales read by bleating sheep-wannabes.

Hmm, I'd say the great eggshell came and created both from yolk. Have a nice day!

the chicken came first, either by god or through evolution. an egg cannot be made without the animal it originated from.

The Chicken then the egg. Col. Sanders came along not long after.
