Re: Chicken or Egg?
This is a hard one but if you think of it scientifically, the egg. The chicken has feathered so it couldn't be born as a chicken. It had to be an egg. The egg, on the other hand, could be laid by an animal close to a chicken, but not exactly the same. It's a simple mutation.

Re: Chicken or Egg?
Well actually it would make sense that is is the chicken, since the egg needs a certain warmth to hatch it up...that warmth is from it's mother's.

Re: Chicken or Egg?
As I said, the mother does not have to be a chicken. It could be a close relative of a chicken (some other bird.) It's because of evolution

Re: Chicken or Egg?
I would guess at egg, simply because you can change an egg overtime or due to a drastic environmental change but you cannot change an animal in their lifetime (and we are talking 1000 years ago or something!)

Re: Chicken or Egg?
Did anyone know that this "debate" was debated by the Ancient Greeks, and they kept on arguing till the enmeny went into Athens and conquered them?
Also it must be the chicken becasue put the same logic with a mammal, like a cat. The organism must come first.

Re: Chicken or Egg?
It can't...its the same as saying what came first the cat or the kitten.

Re: Chicken or Egg?
Yes, and the kitten came first. Where did the cat come from if there wasn't a kitten?

Re: Chicken or Egg?
That's not what I meant...the cat equivalent to the egg is the developing embryo...so what came first the embryo or the cat?

Re: Chicken or Egg?
It was a mutation. It changed a bit from some other animal
The way I see it, you are looking at it from a religious point of view. That's perfectly fine by me, but I look at it scientifically as I am not religious

Re: Chicken or Egg?
ok, listen. An egg s basically what leads to the chicken. If you had the chicken first, you would already had an egg for that chicken. As I said above, i think that a mutation in an egg, let's say a turkey's, or an ostrich's, God knows, happened which gave us the chicken. (yummy)
