What Came First, the Chicken or the Egg?

[ayo_deji1]

The chicken came first according to creation.

I think that the bacteria appeared first. And then the chicken, the egg, the chicken coops, the farms!))

In the later part of day 3, God created plants. In order for plants to live, they need ground bacteria to turn metallic minerals into ionic minerals - humic acid. Metallic minerals kill plants and animals when no bacteria is present to convert them. This means that, even though bacteria is never mentioned, they had to exist before or right along with the plants.

All chickens MUST come from eggs.

The egg had to come first, or else we invoke religious magic again - the sky fairy.

There probably aren't any sky fairies. God created the first chickens. Then the first chickens laid the first eggs.

Chicken came first by evolution of other same kind of species. An egg can not simply appear out of nowhere..

Did the other species die out? No. It is here. It's a different kind of chicken. Our problem is determining which came from which.

Evolution is a hoax.

in my thought hu came first the chicken or the egg.for me is the chicken because jesus christ create all kinds of every living things

Chicken, no eggs, oh chicken opps i don't no, maybe both, can't they both came at the same time?

Basically, many, many moons ago there was a chicken-like bird. It was genetically close to a chicken but wasn't a full-blown chicken yet. The video calls it a proto-chicken. So proto-hen laid an egg, and proto-rooster fertilized it. But when the genes from ma and pa almost-chicken fused, they combined in a new way, creating a mutation that accidentally made the baby different from its parents. Although it would take millennia for the difference to be noticed, that egg was different enough to become the official progenitor of a new species, now known as... the chicken! So in a nutshell (or an eggshell, if you like), two birds that weren't really chickens created a chicken egg, and hence, we have an answer: The egg came first, and then it hatched a chicken.

If there was a proto-chicken, it must have been a bird, not a proto-anything. Evolution says that everything has a purpose, an advantage for becoming what it became, and existing. It was its own animal.

So, let's say this bird existed. Then it had an egg with a few mutations to modify it a little. Was that bird the chicken, or the next, or the next, or the next, or how far along before you could really call it a chicken?

The genetic modifications in a mutation that would make the change from some other bird to a chicken, are so great that they just don't happen all at once. So which chicken ancestor is not a chicken, but rather some other bird? And at which point do we start calling it a chicken?

Consider the wood carver in this link:

The wood carver chips little chunks of wood off the log, gradually forming it into the chair. At which chip does the log become the chair? Obviously it isn't the first, because the first is only a chip off the log. And it isn't the last, because before the last is only an incomplete chair. Same with the egg. It would take a tremendous number of mutations in the innards of another animal's egg to convert these innards into a chicken.

Not all chickens are the same even now though.  A quick google revealed there are over 500 different types.

Yes. And when we compare the kinds of differences that are found in a quail to those found in the various varieties of chickens, we see that those kinds of differences are vast.

There is essentially very little difference chicken to chicken. But there are vast differences chicken to quail.

This is more practical thinking, with much greater scope. It makes the whole idea of which came first, chicken or egg, to be a silly question posed by ignorant people.

This age-old question really has a simple answer. Attempts to answer it, however, and attempts to get around implications of the simple answer are often quite convoluted.

What do you think about it?

That's a logical question since I was a kid but I always have the same answer, it's the chicken that came first. In the creation, the Lord created the animals. It is written in the bible that God created the animals that produce. I belive thaf chicken came first because nothing will produce it's egg if it didn't exist first

Correct! But atheists and evolutionists like to argue the opposite, simply because the don't want to believe in God.

I agree, chicken came first, this is already been answered by the bible already because God really created the animals and not the egg. Duh? Chicken came first and not the egg. It is like Eve and Adam, they don't know everything first before they eat an apple, they are innocent and unembarrassed about their nakedness. However, a serpent deceives Eve into eating fruit from the forbidden tree, and she gives some of the fruit to Adam, that's the reason why they've got an additional knowledge and make them able to know their nakedness. it is also like the chicken they came first before the egg.

The chicken came first ! Surely . Because I read it from a magazine , I don't think the amazine that write wrong  .

and why do you believe what that magazine said?
you just can't believe what others said even if they said it in a magazine, don't you think?

What do you think about it?

Egg came first. Because of the DNA changing inside the egg. Scientist used supercomputer to provide proof for this argument. That's why they came up with the answer, egg came first.

and how did the egg came to be?
I think there was an entity that evolved to lay eggs in time.
So the answer is NEITHER came first.

[shiki3226]

I think it is the chicken. I believe in the creation story and in God and I am convinced that when God created all things, they were already on their perfect condition. Not eggs, seeds or embryos.

The chicken came first.

Yes chicken came first....it started in chicken before the egg...

[rodrigomagracia]

of course, chicken without chicken there is no egg

They didn't add the correct info to the computer for it to make correct calculations.

The quantity and quality of the mutation changes necessary, to change the innards of an egg of one animal to another, are far greater than any that evolution theory suggests could happen. This means that no egg innards can convert from some other creature to a chicken.

But he ate the egg for breakfast.
