<p>I find it ridiculous that there is even an answer to this question. I don't think this is one of those things we'll ever know.</p>
<p>Scientists</a> reportedly crack chicken-or-egg riddle - Technology & science - Science - msnbc.com</p>
<p>And like one of the comments said, there's always a possibility that something that wasn't a chicken laid the egg.</p>
<p>I think there's better stuff these researchers can waste their time on.</p>
<p>Egg came first, no doubt about it. And ads for news videos are dumb.</p>
<p>I could REALLY go for some Popeye’s right about now…</p>
<p>It came from me, you know when I made my gf drank all of my cu</p>
<p>Egg. The chicken was just an evolved form of another species.</p>
<p>oh, I remember reading that</p>
<p>and then thinking…who cares? who debates this? more importantly, why did we first start eating eggs when they seemed to come from chickens’ butts?</p>
<p>Yeah, dinosaurs were around before chickens, dinosaurs laid eggs, therefore; egg.</p>
<p>there is no beginning to a circle</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s only a circle in your head.</p>
<p>god, not this, again…</p>
<p>What’s a chicken anyway? I have no doubt that the first feathered flying egg-laying animals looked different from the farm animal today, so where’s the cut between chicken and no-chicken?</p>
<p>For the purposes of this problem, I will define a chicken to be anything that lays eggs. Hence the chicken came first. QED.</p>
<p>Chicken because of evolution. For an egg to be created, you need the sperm from a rooster and a hen…An egg cannot be created out of no where without those 2 essential things…etc.</p>
<p>Egg, because by a chicken must come from an egg unless all the DNA in all cells of an egg are mutated in the same way – this is exceptionally unlikely.</p>
<p>However, a chicken egg does not necessarily have to come from a chicken. Depending on where you draw the line, at one point, a non-chicken would have a mutation in the sperm/egg that generated a chicken egg.</p>
<p>So, it comes out to: chicken must come from chicken egg, but chicken egg can come from non-chicken.</p>
<p>I say Chicken.
God created everything and then made them multiply.
So chicken first.</p>
<p>Egg first.</p>
<p>How do I know? I made that egg.</p>
<p>If we restrict the definition of a chicken to a particular species of bird, let’s also restrict the definition of an egg, shall we? An egg should only refer to eggs of the make-up of current chicken eggs as opposed to pheasants eggs or turkey eggs or blackbird eggs.</p>
<p>Pheasant, lol.</p>
<p>Fried or rotisserie? Scrambled or poached? The ‘chicken or egg’ question is far too vague…</p>
