Guys there really is NO answer to this. People say that without the chicken there is no egg but without the egg there is no chicken. If you are going to solve this then you have to have more description in the question. You aren't going to get that. Sorry back on topic..

I'm going to leave this thread open for a while, but if it gets spammy or if there is any talk about religion (this also leads to hurting other peoples feelings and beliefs) I will close it. If there is anything of this sort, action WILL be taken.

Moved thread to the off topic forum also, as this question will never be answered. :)
I think the egg came first, as I believe the chicken evolved from another creature.

Some other animal could have been laying eggs way before the chicken; the question doesn't specify what type of egg so I'll stick to what I think. ;)

Ya..... No one is right because no one knows for sure..... these questions just confuse me..... -.-

I personally think the egg because something else laid it then the egg hatched and out came the 'evolved' chicken....
but idk ^.^
i really don't think there is a RIGHT answer in this situation

I think the egg came first how would the chicken cross the road if there is no egg to hatch the chicken to come out Blah..

Well, it's really simple...Somewhere in the process in the egg being created by some egg laying animal something happened and it turned into a chicken...Then the chicken hatched and then more chickens came! Well, okay, I really don't know what happened and I don't remember(I read it somewhere a while ago) so what I said is probaly false. But I still think it started with an egg. .-.

The chicken or the egg causality dilemma is commonly stated as "which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

Chickens hatch from eggs, but eggs are laid by chickens, making it difficult to say which originally gave rise to the other. To ancient philosophers, the question about the first chicken or egg also evoked the questions of how life and the universe in general began.
If only an egg that is laid by a chicken and that will hatch into a chicken can be considered a chicken egg: Then the first chicken came from a different type of egg (not a chicken egg) and laid the first chicken egg. In this case eggs (in general) came first, the chicken came after, and the chicken egg came last.

~~~got from wikipedia. i think the egg was first.
