Poll: Which Came First: The Chicken or the Egg?

[Fbuh]

On a literal note: the Egg, since we all know that chickens evolved from T-Rexes, and they laid eggs.

On a slightly different note: The entire subject could be viewed as a metaphor for human male/female sexual relationships and the tensions that are paired with it. The Egg obviously represents the female, being symbolic for the egg produced within female sexual organs. The chicken refers to the man, relating to the slang 'cock' and how men generally refer to their penises as such. Now, the question is, which came first, which, of course, could be viewed as who had an orgasm first. Now is where it gets tricky, since everyone is different and has different standards. In many situations, the woman will orgasm first, though it is generally believed that men orgasm more quickly than woman. I am no saying that this is true or not, but that it is the general opinion. As for my argument, I believe that the woman will have the first orgasms, since chickens evolved from T-Rexes (which laid eggs) and therefore means that they came first.

Terry Pratchett was right in this regards (As always). The egg came first, guaranteed. That Egg grew up into a creature that was genetically just barely the beginning of what we define as Chicken. It's parent was a creature that was genetically almost exactly, but still not quite, a Chicken.

first came the dinosaurs.

Eggs. They were around long before chickens ever existed.

Like in dinosaurs and whatnot.

Thread is done to death...

What do you consider to be a chicken egg? An egg containing a chicken, or an egg laid by a chicken?

 

[knhirt]

The egg, obviously.

Ok, an organism almost exactly like a chicken...Yeah I'll buy it, if you have proof =). Everyone's hung up on proto-chicken ancestors who came just before the chicken, so riddle me this: What was it called then!? That's right, give me the EXACT name (scientific or normal) of the proto-chicken and I'll side with eggs! But until then I'm remaining neutral because as much as I want to know, I don't. And don't just say "What point do you have to post this if you don't know it or have a side?" I wanted to know what you guys thought!

Evolution is not, in reality, comparable to the "evolution" in Pokémon. Think of evolution as a gradient. You won't have a specific name for every single shade of color between blue and green, even less so for a complicated set of organisms throughout the ages. Evolution takes millions and millions of years, and we humans have very limited knowledge concerning the "types" of organisms that have been present on this earth in the past.

You're asking the impossible, really.

What a retarded thread. I notice the OP has backed off after getting his ass handed to him on the first page.
Even if the question is "Chicken or Chicken Egg?", it's still egg. Another non-paradox for people who think they're deep, like the Tree Falling question.

Also, roosters incubate eggs?

Sorry, Chocobo came first.

 

[The Night Shade]

the egg of course

 

[BehattedWanderer]

The snake which scared the chicken, making it drop an egg, which hatched the same chicken. It's a quantum chicken, you see.

 

[DarkhoIlow]

I think the Chicken came first which ultimately layed the egg for more chickens to be "born".

..I guess

 

[ELS84]

from a biological stance the egg must have come first because the embryo in the egg had the right mutations that led to a chicken. This would have happened over the course of many years but the EGG of the first chicken would come before the chicken.

I win.

[Elburzito]

This has been done before im sure.
But what the hell: The Egg.

 

[Platinum117]

Well obviously the chicken because i would assume they ebolved out of another species that would have evolved out of another and so forth. Whereas a chicken is needed to make an egg, an egg is not neccesarily needed to make a chicken.

 

[ArcWinter]

Well, chickens are a relatively recently developed species.

While eggs were had back in dinosaur times(actually before that, when the Earth was all ocean, the "fish" laid eggs).

Thus, subtract the difference and carry the one, and you see that the egg was first.

Huh God Created Animals Obviuosly chickens

Huh God Created Animals Obviuosly chickens

But what if, in this line of thought, God created an egg that hatched the first chicken?

A quandary!
