Wasn’t there one of those on the old Garfield and Friends cartoon series?

If you are asking, “Which came first, the chicken or the egg,” it is taken, as did the parent come first or the offspring. Now the modern day chicken would have come after an egg was laid but the parents of said egg would have be first to create the egg, whether by evolution or mutation.

If you believe in evolution the single cell would have given birth enough time to create multi cell life form and they keep given birth that would lead up to the chicken.

If you believe in creationism, where God would have created the parents first with the knowledge on survival, much like Adam and Eve.

I still say the parental unit would be first.



You know I really do see where everyone says the parent came first. But this leads to another question. Was the parent a mutation to begin with and the egg just mutated more to make the now chicken?

Base on survival: can an egg survive without the warmth of a parent? I doubt so.
Base on populating: can an egg produce another egg?/
I still go for the chicken.

Hmmm. I think breakfast comes first!

Chicken makes a good lunch... especially fried!


In the evening, after a few drinks, it is easy to to get mutated.

The chicken or the egg question is an analogy that probably represents the nature of existence rather than a chicken and an egg.

Depends on if you go by creationism or evolution. Evolution it would be a gradual change that would happen over thousands of years. Creationism the chicken would be already be as is.

I go for the evolution myself. the other one is rather silly if you ask me

Creationism is not much different then a programmer creating a virtual world like in a video game.

Although I do believe there is a God but the big bang and certain evolution factors may be His way of making the current world. Still evolution is a theory and not an absolute. After all, some a still determine to prove that humans came from apes.

whoa Scientific laymen keep getting confused about the scientific definition of a theory. In science, a theory explains how an existing phenomenon occurs. For example a theory about gravity will explain how gravity works. Even if the theory were incorrect, gravity would still exist.

Likewise, modern evolution theory explains how evolution occurs, with the fossil record demonstrating that evolution has occurred.

By the way, modern evolution theory doesn't say that humans came from apes. That is another false assumption about modern evolution theory that scientific laymen keep making.

Theories are fun. People have created many theories from humans came from space and some theories is that human came from apes. It is interesting how some think just because a certain theory is fact with out it being based on anything else other then it is the one being pushed.

As for evolution it self, I do believe in adaptation evolution like the Gallipolis tortoise shell starting to arch up to allow the tortoise the reach higher for food. I’ve seen this but the evolution that one animal becomes another they have yet to show me. Just because they tell me bird like the chicken I eat evolved from dinosaurs, doesn’t mean they are right or I am wrong. I have not seen evidence to back it up, just been told in school they did. And some on TV act like people like me are an idiot because I may not believe because I have not seen the evidence they say there is a lot of. Yet they look down on people that believe in a god(s) they have not seen.

In the end, Evolution does make a good comedy, even though Orlando Jones teamed up with David Duchovny teamed up to put a stop to the alien evolution. :tongue:

Fish existed in the sea and were laying eggs before chickens existed on the land. And the joke is supposed to go, neither came first because the rooster came first.

Which came first?



Some questions are best left unanswered.

K, so I don't have a link (as it was awhile ago and I forgot) but I remember reading that the chicken creates the substance that makes up the egg shell. So somewhere on the evolutionary timeline, the chicken at some point started creating eggs or some such.
Buuuutttt, as I read it on the internet and it was awhile ago AND I haven't bothered to fact check or cross reference OR bothered to have this discussion with anyone till now, I'm still going with the chicken.

Honestly, I hate chickens though, and choke mine whenever I get the chance...
