If one goes by the theories of evolution, that one life form has evolved from the other, and also from the various possibilities which cloning may one day give, then I would say the egg.

In evolution terms, if birds come from reptiles thre must be a first egg where the first bird like creature was born from, so let's say the egg.


myLot reputation of 93/100. winterose (12533)   ranked 296 out of 26,857 in people  4 months ago

yep the egg is the lower level of evolution, that is what I would have to say too.

Definately its the chicken because every living being come with live not the dull stuff. God created the creature first so in that case the chicken came first and then egg coz egg needs to be hatched by the hen. So confident its the chicken came first.


myLot reputation of 93/100. winterose (12533)   ranked 296 out of 26,857 in people  4 months ago

okay, it will be interesting to see how this turns out, how many are for the egg and how many are for the chicken,

I would say that th egg yolk came first because the egg yolk contains all the necessary substances that will form a chicken. I saw a documentary on discovery channel and according to it, life forms may have arrived from meteors because the meteors contain all the necessary elements that can form the amino acids, proteins and DNA. So does that mean that the first living thing came from space?

Haha.. the thought of a chick breaking out of a meteorite is very funnylol


myLot reputation of 93/100. winterose (12533)   ranked 296 out of 26,857 in people  4 months ago

yes that could be a possibility too, and yes it does sound funny like you are saying it.

i have already answered this question, but alas the world doesnt listen LOL!

the EGG CAME FIRST of course! and my reason follows;

the age old question is "Which came first? the chicken or the egg?"

many dinosaurs laid EGGS, and dinosaurs existed BEFORE chickens..therefore eggs were in the world long before a chicken ever made its first step.

the question does NOT specify that the egg is FROM THE CHICKEN..only that it is an egg.

hahaha!


myLot reputation of 97/100. webeishere (9987)   ranked 44 out of 26,857 in people  4 months ago

Great answer. Now why didn't I come up with it.
I said the hen came first. HAHAHA!
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~


myLot reputation of 97/100. sacmom (3249)   ranked 20 out of 26,857 in people  4 months ago

Hey Cinder, the world may not have listened, but I did! LOL I'm pretty sure it was your response that I saw some months ago about the chicken and the egg. And amazingly I remembered that the answer was the egg! LOL


myLot reputation of 77/100. whiteheather39 (10379)   ranked 1,648 out of 26,857 in people  4 months ago

Clever but wrong!
According to the Creator of chickens, and the author of the Record of their origins, chickens came first. It was on the Fifth Day of Creation Week that He created "every winged fowl after [their] kind" (Genesis 1:21) complete with the DNA to reproduce that kind. Then He "blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply" (v.22) using that DNA. For the chickens this meant lay chicken eggs. Problem solved.

LMAO! i should have known that someone somewhere would find a source link to show that the bible and henceforth god, created chickens first!

so there you go! my evolution based answer and the theological answer, providing "proof" (lol!) for ppl everywhere no matter their "side" of the line!

excellent work! that should satisfy everybody!w00t


myLot reputation of 93/100. winterose (12533)   ranked 296 out of 26,857 in people  4 months ago

yep that is exactly what this comes down to, evolution or religion, but you know I never saw your answer before and guess what you are getting best response.

Do you honestly expect someone here in myLot to answer this age old question correctly? Still at least it is slightly better than the age old discussion topic of Pepsi or Coke preference.


myLot reputation of 97/100. sacmom (3249)   ranked 20 out of 26,857 in people  4 months ago

Hey heather, if you look at Cinder's response (the one right above yours) you will see she has the correct answer. So it was possible to answer this age old question correctly! lol


myLot reputation of 77/100. whiteheather39 (10379)   ranked 1,648 out of 26,857 in people  4 months ago

lol Clever!!!


myLot reputation of 93/100. winterose (12533)   ranked 296 out of 26,857 in people  4 months ago

yes I do and they did and the best response was given out already.

 
6. myLot reputation of 97/100. checapricorn (7372)   ranked 27 out of 26,857 in people   4 months ago

This is quite hard! LOL! I would believe the chicken...Like human being, it was created first and multiply!LOL!


myLot reputation of 93/100. winterose (12533)   ranked 296 out of 26,857 in people  4 months ago

I am not sure there really is a right answer, it is just how you look at life, but it is interesting to see how many people answer in which direction, creation or evolution and then the clever cinder answer.

 
7. myLot reputation of 98/100. SusanLee (853)   ranked 3,901 out of 26,857 in people   4 months ago

I came to the conclusion years ago that the chicken came first, it came loaded with the egg.


myLot reputation of 93/100. winterose (12533)   ranked 296 out of 26,857 in people  4 months ago

good answer.

 
8. myLot reputation of 97/100. webeishere (9987)   ranked 44 out of 26,857 in people   4 months ago

It had to be the hen as the hen is the egg layer.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~


myLot reputation of 77/100. whiteheather39 (10379)   ranked 1,648 out of 26,857 in people  4 months ago

You are correct!

thanx


myLot reputation of 93/100. winterose (12533)   ranked 296 out of 26,857 in people  4 months ago

cool

 
9. myLot reputation of 98/100. Grandmaof2 (2998)   ranked 142 out of 26,857 in people   4 months ago

Because it is written that God created both man and animal I'd say the chicken came first than the chicken was responsible for the egg. My opinion.


myLot reputation of 93/100. winterose (12533)   ranked 296 out of 26,857 in people  4 months ago

spoken like a true creationist, cool!

 
10. myLot reputation of 97/100. sacmom (3249)   ranked 20 out of 26,857 in people   4 months ago

I know this one, but that is because I already heard the answer before. The answer is the egg came first. That's because it doesn't state that it is has to be a chicken egg. It could be any egg, including a dinosaur egg, which was around before the chicken! w00t


myLot reputation of 93/100. winterose (12533)   ranked 296 out of 26,857 in people  4 months ago

I never knew this until cinder said, it is clever but my son says not clever enough

the answer is chicken because the sentence says what came first the chicken or the egg,

in that sentence chicken came first not what came first the egg or the chicken in which case it would be egg.


myLot reputation of 97/100. sacmom (3249)   ranked 20 out of 26,857 in people  4 months ago

LOL! I never thought of it that way before! What a clever answer to this age old question!


myLot reputation of 83/100. wallstreet (272)   ranked 3,268 out of 26,857 in people  4 months ago

Absolutly, the chicken came first because you said so! How funny!
