What came first?

This question has pondered people for years. In my opinion the chicken came first. How else would the egg get there without the chicken?

They egg came first, because fish, amphibians and reptiles, dinosaurs etc all layed eggs, well before the chicken was around. I realize that this answer is very literal and doesn't go with the philosophical outlook, but it is correct though.

The egg or the chicken? Yes.

It is the chicken based from the creation in the book of Genesis.

The chicken because there will be no egg if there is no chicken. And the chicken will never be hatch if there is no chicken to hatch it.

the chicken! that's what i believe. if there was no chicken, where'd the egg come from?(?_?) i know the next issue would be about chickens coming/developing from eggs, but it's all the same, eggs cannot develop without the warmth provided by a mommy chicken:-) so where did the chicken come from? haha. that would be like asking where humans came from, or everything else for that matter. from nothing to something. people have all sorts of explanation for that, scientific and religious. take your pick~(^_^)

well the chicken came first. A lizard of some sort mutated its egg thus what came out is a chicken.

I saw on the news the other day that scientists actually confirmed that the chicken came first! I've always believed that the chicken came first because I believe that God created everything as the book of Genesis in the Bible says. Based on that belief, the chicken would have had to come first. Besides, without a mother chicken to protect the egg and keep it warm, how would the egg ever really successfully hatch?
