so come on guyswhat came 1st, the chicken or the egg2007-11-24 17:25:27

just wondering you see, as i have a theory..over the years, as evolution occured there were many different creatures being created through genetic mutation and the like.

I think that there wrer feathered creatures who kept having incestuous relations and so caused genetically deformed infants, who in turn had incestuous relations. This caused more and more deformed infants until one day, the egg hatched and the genetic mutant that popped out was, in fact, A CHICKEN!!

silly question ALWAYS HAS BEEN !!

forget theory stick with logic - you must have an egg to hatch a chicken - you do not have to have a chicken to produce an egg !!

the only hard part is to decide which hatch produced chickens as opposed to proto-chickens ( where do you draw the line what about a bird makes it a chicken )

The egg came first. Something that wasn't a chicken laid an egg with a mutant inside it which WAS a chicken.

Hard to discuss things on this board, there's no back-and-forth like in a true forum.

eggs hatch in the likeness of the parent, so in order to have a likeness there would have had to have been something to create that egg. however chickens evolved, they, at some point, developed the ability to create, though maybe the shell came along later. the shell could have been evolution at work to protect the babies to make sure they lived. anyway, thats what i think. in other words, the egg came first from somewhere, and what came along was the chicken that possibly developed its own faculty to lay eggs.

Neither and both.. The opposite of the one that came second.
