which came first chicken or the egg? The anwer!

Ok so i thought alot and figured out that the egg came before the chicken! so how did i find this??? The t-rex. what probably happened was the t-rex layed a egg that happened to have a birth defect so it became a chicken(t-rex is the chickens closest relative). but how the heck did the t-rex get here??? i'm so cunfusded! see for all you stupid people here's a line plot or whatever my social studies teacher called it:
egg<chicken<birth defected egg<t-rex<????????.
I think it might be multi-celled organisms that grouped together to make a giant tall lizard like thing that i suspect is the s-rex... so after that the lizardish s-rex had a birthdefected egg and it became a t-rex. so in theory the egg came before the chicken. unless perhaps there was a giant poultra(Jimmy Neutron) like monster that was part chicken(as sheen says "thats one big chicken") so in that theory the chicken came before the egg... but who laid the egg that happened to hatch poultra. technically/in the most non-fictional theory the egg came before the chicken.

That is believeble i guess. It sound right about true.

Here's my theory:

The chicken come first, why? Well, chicken are organisms right? 1 chicken contain billions of cells. A cell itself is an organism. They are living thing. The cells in your body are independent organism. Well anyway. Cell reproduce by dividing themself, and sometime they evolve by grouping with other cell differently. Well, those evolution create chicken.

but how was the chicken born. it just popped frm thin air? there had to be an egg.

well it seems to me tht acron170 got the right story to explain.....

obviously the first being was some sort of chicken-egg hybrid from which both chickens and eggs are descended. now if only we could find a fossil of this precursor...

i think acron is right too. what a coinkydink

Too complicated for me.. I cant even think what a T-Rex is right now.. And for the 2nd part... WHO CARES unless u really want to know

No Disrespect

HEY!!! i care it took me a while to think and type that up!

lol,this is a very old question,however it is no result still

The quote isn't about the evolution of the chicken. Birds developed from reptiles, but this is neither here nor there. There certainly was not some random psuedo-dinosaur that gave a birthdefected chicken ONE TIME to create a new species. Differentiation occurs gradually over many generations. It's been shown that dinosaurs like the T-rex and others actually had proto-feathers.

The point is there is no answer. With the reasoning mentioned above, a metaphor for life in general, the chicken comes first. Simply because life existed long before organisms developed procreation with sperm and egg. This uses chicken as life.

If we're talking about chicken as an actual chicken, then the egg comes first. Fish lay eggs. Some fish gave rise to amphibians, who lay eggs. Amphibians to reptiles. Reptiles to birds. So long before chickens, there were eggs. So they came first then. But because of the phrasing of the question, there is no definitive answer. Though the answer stated above is certainly a mockery of natural selection and species formation.

LOL

these posts are funny.

umm I guess my theory is on a slightly different path Smile

If you simplify it and go further back than the chicken and say... What came first, the creature or the egg? well then it is defiantly the creature that came first, as the creature evolved to suit its environment the egg was produced as a safe enclosure for the newborn creature to live in until it hatched, allowing the creature to move around without having the bulk of an unborn creature inside them, it also meant that the creature didn't have to stay with the newborn, so it was able to get food easily.

As for the chicken... Yes the egg came first, but the chicken came before the chicken egg Smile

because before it was a chicken (although most likely in an egg) it wasn't a chicken that gave birth to that egg Smile

so before you can have the chicken egg you must have a chicken to lay it.

I know I'm probably gonna get heaps of people telling me I'm wrong and that there is no such thing as evolution therefore my theory is wrong Smile

but its my theory, and I believe in evolution, so it works for me Smile

I don't think the point of the question is to find where the chicken came from. It is to figure out where life began. And I don't think that a dinosuar is going to give birth to a chicken. Evolution takes mellinia to produce new species.

A single cell in your body is not a living organisim!

According to the Merriam Webster dictionary:an individual constituted to carry on the activities of life by means of organs separate in function but mutually dependent.
And the biology definition of living organism : consumes food and water, can reproduce, and consisted of cells (duh).
A single cell in your body can not live independently with out the help of other cells and many can not reproduce like your nerve cells. However, there are single celled organism such as bacterias.

As of th chicken and the egg, who said anything about a chicken egg? fish lays eggs and so do reptiles! They definity came way before a chicken.
Chicken is merely a mutation of some other organism and slowly evolved to what it is today.
<hr>
I didn't get any of that...

Me and even most others also think that the chicken came first. Your theory might be correct but there are other possibilities also. Stop crushing your mind on this and think of something else Smile

Warm Regards,

I think thats the egg in first... maybe a mutation of an dinosaurus... or something other ahahahah ...

if u mean with the 'egg' the chicken egg, it's the chicken. because the chicken is a different animal form some species. so before there excisted a chicken egg there had to be a chicken to creat them.

But if the 'egg' is meant just an egg, than its the egg. because the fishes are the first 'really' organismen and they did create eggs.

I think the author of this thread is correct in some ways. I seen a video in my science class not that long ago saying that all life developed from bacteria. The bacteria mutated and grew into actual living things. We started out as fish in the oceans (as they were bigger millions of years ago than how they are now, with the north and south poles). The fish grew legs and turned into the dinosaurs that we know of. Birds are descended from dinosaurs, so the egg came first because the egg came from the dinosaur.

Technically speaking, life would not exist without bacteria. There's good bacteria and bad bacteria. If you clean yourself too much, you might die because you're killing off the good bacteria that kills off the bad bacteria.

As simple as that.

looks scientifically possible.. mutation n natural selection, leading to the creation of the animal called a "chicken" in modern-world..

Some of these responses are laughably oversimplified although a few have made some interesting and well thought out points.

This debate isn't really very productive, because really, the egg would come first and it would subsequently spawn the "final version" of the chicken as we know it today. But since the original "chicken" which laid the egg which contained our current chicken species could still be called a chicken, the line is blurred about how we even define the question. So, the problem is defining where we start to call a certain animal a "chicken". Where does the "previous" animal end and the chicken begin, in the timeline of evolution?

The egg.

we can't get the exact answer at all
ppl insite what they think
no chicken no eggs
no eggs no chicken

The god came first Laughing

I too think that this happened due to a defect in the egg of an organism that is the closest to the Chicken or it happened due to mutation and then mutation in an organism whose final product was a chicken

It is what happens ....that brings diversity to this world
That is what Darwin and Lamark Said
Lot's of truth waiting!!!

has anyone considered the Easter Bunny's role in this debacle?

... yeah I thought not. obviously the eggs come first because the Easter bunny does NOT bring chickens, and being an imaginary figure has existed for all eternity, and thus must have just as well distributed chicken eggs at the beginning of time.

Duh.

the first is egg

Thankyou Cyanide and Happiness...

Nice theory but I belive that the chicken didn't come about all at once. Maybe the chicken may have evolved from someprevious organism over a period of millions of years. Like I'm sure a monkey didn't give birth to man all in a moment (OMG somebody kill me if it did!). So naturally the first of current strain or species of chicken must have hatched from the egg of very similar organism which in turn developed from a previous organism and so on until maybe your t-rex!

This is wat really happened

KINDERGARTEN TEACHER: To get to the other side.

PLATO: For the greater good.

ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross roads.

KARL MARX: It was a historical inevitability.

TIMOTHY LEARY: Because that's the only trip the establishment would let it take.

SADDAM HUSSEIN: This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it.

JACK NICHOLSON: 'cause it f.....g wanted to. That's the f.....g reason.

RONALD REAGAN: I forget.

CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK: To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.

HIPPOCRATES: Because of an excess of phlegm in its pancreas.

BILL GATES: I have just released the new Chicken Office 2000, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook.

OLIVER STONE: The question is not, "Why did the chicken cross the road?" Rather, it is, "Who was crossing the road at the same time, whom we overlooked in our haste to observe the chicken crossing?"

DARWIN: Chickens, over great periods of time, have been naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically disposed to cross roads.

EINSTEIN: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved beneath the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.

BUDDHA: Asking this question denies your own chicken nature.

RALPH WALDO EMERSON: The chicken did not cross the road ....it transcended it.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die. In the rain.

COLONEL SANDERS: I missed one?

WHAT DO U THINK ???

The chicken came before the egg.

That makes the most sense. I believe in the theory of evolution, so some prehistoric bird probably laid an egg that came out as a chicken because of some weird cell splitting or something, similar to how we came along.

well,,, for the egg to come first,, you'd need to have a male chicken to fertalize it,, and a female chicken to lay the egg,, but then where did the chickens come from,,,? i say its a matter of opinion, believe what u want to believe.

Obviously the egg. Else, where would the chicken come from?

Unless the chicken was born in a mammal that doesn't lay eggs and it was mutated, and it began to lay eggs due to its mutation.

Ah-ha. A chicken must be a mutent kangeroo.

the egg came first! I think....or no...umm

gahh! hard questions!

Frihost post on this topic

chicken definetly came first =)

if you think about it all mammals technically come from "eggs" inside a womb. now the question is, can you imagine one of those "eggs" sitting outside in the wilderness waiting to hatch? i dont think so. bacteria and other forms of life here would ultimately make a living organism first than a simple egg.

Chicken or the egg is a classic question.........Frankly speaking it is hard to
say which came first.....but when u look at the evoultion it is probable that
chicken got evolved out of something like from a turkey or so.......and took it from there/////////////

So ideally i would vote Chicken came first/////

The egg-shell must be identical to the bird before. The yolk has an newly-evolved chicken. Just a small mutation in the germ cells creates a new embryo. But since the egg-shell couldn't have been mutated at the same time, the embryo came before the adult chicken, but the egg-shell is the same... I think...
