Awesome_Paul Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 This Debate has gone through Real Life with all confusion. The Question Is: Which came First, the Chicken or The Egg Many Say The chicken, many say the egg, but what do you think My Opinon is that the Egg Came first I think that teh Egg came first because -where did the chicken come from (but people could use this argument as where did the egg come from) -another animal/human, my have laid the egg which reulted in the first chicken. But what do you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeptroid Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I believe that the Chicken came first. I say this because you have to have two chickens to make a chicken. Two other animals other than a chicken that mate and lay an egg would be almost impossible to have a chicken come out of that egg. For example, you normally don't see a lizard's egg hatch into a fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie_Penguin Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Yea Metroid's "theory" makes sense, but then again where did those chickens come from? Maybe the chicken was an evolution of an animal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mira Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I think the egg came first because if only one chicken came and not two, it couldn't reproduce. So the egg must have come first because that's what chickens are before they are born... yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empress Keiko Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 well, i think the egg came first. There had to have been a mutation in one of the egg's cells that caused the chicken. Either that, or that pre eveloution-chickens had to adapt to a new environment, and in the egg, the embryo was changed to meet the environment's standards.

.Dan. Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 It'd depend on whether the chicken was mutated from some other bird, or the egg was mutated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can't have an egg laying out in the open without warmth and whatnot and expect it to hatch all the time. So really, the chicken makes more sense to come first.

Ellie_Penguin Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 unless the egg was laid in a warm place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie_Penguin Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 According to our scientists, the egg came first: http://edition.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science/05/26/chicken.egg/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesome_Paul Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 so there we have it, accoding to geneticist philosophers and chicken farmers, (im liking that, like Yin and Yang, 2 different things coming together to solve something) The Egg came first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Darn, Silent Penguin, you beat me to it. :P Another waste of scientific time, there. There, well, debate finished, really. PM me if you want it back open. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
