Welcome to Gaia! ::

I think that god made the chicken, and then the chicken hatched the egg because if the egg came first, then it would die because a chicken wouldn't be sitting on it keeping it warm.

thhe atom came first silly

i agree with FF Moogle if theres no chicken the egg will die

Well, most christians beleive god created science. But if you think about it, there will always be questions. Why does the egg only allow in one specific sperm out of a million other choices? Eggs don't talk or have brains and they're microscopic. It's possible we'll find out, it's possible we won't. We don't know the future, we can't go into the past. Maybe someday, but only a maybe.

Now, back to the question-I think chicken. My explanation is god, but of course there's non-christians out there, so I'll say we'll never truly know. We never will. Maybe when we die, maybe not. The future is just a bunch of maybes.

then I could reply in turn "without the egg there is no chicken"

so... you can look at this from a logical viewpoint, a creationist viewpoint, or a "I dont care so I won't actualy put any thought into my arguments" view point

Think for a second. (hint: evolution)

organisms evolve. the chicken we know today is not the same as it was millions of years ago. back then, it couldn't even be classified as a chicken. through evolution, that ancestral species developed the traits of a chicken, and at one point, one member of that animal line (not quite yet a chicken, but very similar) laid an egg. This egg held chicken mentioned in the question.

Also I would like to point out that this question is completely irrelevant seeing how there is no set of specific dna that defines "chicken" all chickens have varying sets and are evolving to this day. In the future, the chicken will not look like it does now. as there is no definite "chicken" there can be no definite reason to even contemplate this blatantly pointless question.

The Chicken came first if the egg came first then it would not be able to survive. The egg needs a parent which is the chicken.

Ooooooooo I've had this arguement with my sister for years!I was always saying the egg came first (I had the theory of the dinosaurs evolved to chicken..)

Did you ever think that chickens are just small trianousars with feathers and a hard mouth? And lost its teeth from a fight or something?

In my opinion the egg came first becouse you eat them frist. For breackfast you eat an egg or two. Then later durring didder you eat the chicken. See? Eggs have allways been first! I have a pet egg. It's name is John.. It's so emo. And its about 2 weeks old. ^^;
