that's why I said "the chicken as we know it"! I'm saying the egg came from a bird similar to the chicken, but the chicken was a mutation of that bird's genes So, for the modern chicken, the egg came first
egg. The chicken didn't appear from thin air. The egg would have been laid by another bird like creature that evolved and laid a chicken egg ?
Then where did the bird like creature come from.. Anyway, here's something else to fight about And... Go!
Okay. This question is answered differently based upon religious belief. If you follow Catholic or Christian based religions then its the chicken. Because according to Genesis 1:20 ' And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” .and on that day he created all winged bords which includes poultry. If you are Athesist, Egnostic, or another miscellaneous religion that doesnt follow those teachings or their bible the more then likely your an evolutionist. Evolutionists believe that chickens are modern day creatures with ancestors of great proportion : Dinosaurs. Evolutionists believe that the modern chicken was an evolution based off of the extincrion.of dinosaurs and hpw they must have evolved into this form in order to survive. So for Evolutionists the answer is the Egg in which the first chicken actually hatched .
There are other possibikities on how.other religions believe their god(s) created the world as it is which is why this question is so undecided. People have srgued for.thousands of years due to religious differences
It's really simple, The chicken evolved from the fish and fish come from eggs so the egg came first. Your welcomed
I know the obvious answer is the egg, but that egg had to come from somewhere, like the chicken had to come from an egg. The answer (based on Luna Lovegood's answer) is neither came first. It's an indefinite cycle, so both evolved at the same time, therefore, both came to be at the same time.
And for the cow thing... Honestly someone observed how animals lactate to feed their child and figured it was similar to how humans feed their newborns
The answer is both . Even with evolution it's not like you had a different animal then they layed an egg and now here is a chicken. It took many yrs to get what we have now. Well unless they had been drastically poisoned and the dna was attacked was changed. Which I highly doubt... no point in asking what comes 1st bcuz it's somewhat of a loop. Chicken has to lay the egg 1st point. the chicken had to come from an egg to start with 2ed point. So on that point if you really want to get down to it with evolution the egg came 1st and it gave our modern day chicken. Then this chicken reproduced.
