I figured that stupid question out there which came first the chicken or the egg. It was the egg. But it wasn't a chicken that layed the egg.

lol 'god'

Considering birds evolved from reptiles (evidence is the legs and feet - the scale skin) the question is better asked what can first the lizard or the egg?

Oh and I read that in biology notes back in 2004, I'm not making it up. I dunno why it stuck in my head.

The egg but it wasn't a lizard that laid the egg.

I presume your talking about a chickens egg not just any egg.

My view is that the egg came first. 2 creatures, genetic parents of the chicken reproduce and due to random mutations a chicken egg is created which in turns creates a chicken.
Anyway considering that almost all chickens that we would recognise as chickens have undergone a few 1000 years of selective breeding by humans.

If you asked God this question would he need to reboot himself? Or would he think about it for thirty seconds, they just tell you to GTFO when he sees you trying not to smirk?

Or would he (or she) not respond to you like every other time you have tried to spark a conversation?

God face-palm me? Ha! Someone's been feeding you false information!

the egg
the common chicken is the result of countless cross breedings with many many different europe birds

i say it was a tie

Well obviously if you are asking god then he is real. So we take what the bible says and that is "The 6th day God created animals and man" This would imply that he created the chicken not the egg. So the chicken came first.

Not that I believe that. I say the egg came first

The question itself is flawed.

RNA ftw.

The egg with the chicken in it came first from something else (something similar to the chicken).

And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

According to the bible, the chicken did

The correct answer is 56. Please try again next time.

I came first damnit!

Some random piece of shit bird evolved slowly into another piece of shit bird etc, until they were chickens.

Now give me the exact definition of a chicken and the question would be whole lot easier to answer.

Done.

Lizards lay eggs.

How about this:

What came first: The first egg-laying creature, or the first egg?

DerDrache has the answer. There might have been a chicken in the egg but it wasn't a chicken that laid the egg.

I think it could have been the chicken. If chickens didnt lay eggs(gave birth like other.. things) until evolution said otherwise, and then it started laying eggs.

Its still hard to tell.

its the egg. two almost chicken birds get jiggy with it and its in the egg that the dna combines to form the 1st chicken dna

i say it was a tie

lol wut?

Yes, the egg is the correct answer however you look at it.

Still, exactly why depends on how you define chicken. If the definition of chicken implies domestication, then the first chickens would be the first domesticated birds that eventually came to be called chickens (thought to be a kind of jungle fowl). In this case the answer is still probably egg as it's easier to domesticate animals if you take them at birth.

Egg.

Some ancestor of the chicken gave birth to an egg, from which a chicken was born. Then the chicken had sex with the ancestor, and another chicken was formed. Etc.

The Rooster came first.
Chicken can't make an egg without one.

Egg laying creature, which would have been born in some membrane thing resembling an egg but not quite an egg.
