Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Chicken,
if we talk about relegious beliefs, then God created every creature then life goes on !.!.

so, chicken came first, with her husband, and then they started to breed!. otherwise, there should be two eggs!. also, taking the same logic, then what about mammles!? did a mother came then started to breed males and females!?

if we talk about evolution theory (in which I dont believe in many parts of it), then, this thing started to evolve slowly, till one day, genetic development reached a stage to make a creature like a chicken, then it started to put eggs

so, in either ways, it is the chickenWww@QuestionHome@Com

I am pasting my answer from the last person who asked this question:

Fredric Cohen (1959 AD- ) pointed out that, had the egg come first, there would have been no chicken (hen) to lay it, sit on it and keep it warm, so a live chick would never have hatched from it!. So the egg needs a chicken!. The question now is where did that first chicken come from!?

If only an egg that is laid by a chicken and that will hatch into a chicken can be considered a chicken egg: Then the first chicken came from a different type of egg (not a chicken egg) and laid the first chicken egg!. In this case eggs (in general) came first, the chicken came after, and the chicken egg came last!.

More interesting is: what came first, the question or the answer!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The egg unless your talking about the chicken egg!.

In that case the answer is both and neither!. They both created each other at the moment of their existence!. The egg could not be a chicken egg if the chicken didn't exist inside!. and all birds come from eggs so the chicken must have come from an egg!. So you see, The chicken made the egg that she was born in a chicken egg!.

Unless you want to go the "God" route, then the chicken came first!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

In simple terms, the answer to this question determines whether one sides with evolution or creationism!.

If one believes in the Biblical account, then one is forced to say "chicken" because God created creatures and not the potential for creatures (i!.e!., eggs)!.

If you believe in evolution, you must say "egg" because evolutionary biology says that eggs existed prior to "chickens" (since eggs are used to create animals that are evolutionarily 'older' like reptiles or amphibians)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

EGGS!.!.!.but not the type which have shells but microscopic cells which formed first into simple forms of organism, gradually evolving into complex forms!.
There were no traces of pre-historic chicken known to history!. Fossils found were those of small bird-like dinosaurs believed to be covered by hard scales instead of feathers!.
I hope this answer will stop this age-old argument once and for all!.!.!.finally putting it to rest!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Chicken only!. God created according to bible the birds and animals not eggs!. With out chicken and cook not egg at all!. With out producing required heat to the egg no chicken!. Produce heat chicken is required!. So, chicken is first!. Not only that Chicken comes first in the dictionary than egg!. Ha !Www@QuestionHome@Com

As my college Biology professor said many years ago, "It was the chicken that came first but it had scales instead of feathers!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

In my opinion, that common idiom just means that life is like a circle, and a circle has no begginning, or end!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

the universal reason that lead to the hatching of the very first egg!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
