Egg, chicken was a mutation that was supposed to be something else when it came out of the egg. A proto-chicken. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

I think all other species are a result of humans inbreeding. I know a girl with feathers and a fork tongue... her mom's her dad's brother as well as mother and cousin. It happens.

| The chicken had to come first. If there hadn't been a chicken to guard the first egg the dinosaurs would have eaten it and there never would have been a chicken. |

1) It's the bacon or the egg.
2) The egg and the chicken were having fun in bed and afterwards they both agreed that now that question was answered.

How can Egg be Chicken? Only when its Chicken Egg. But Chicken Egg is a sub-genre of Chicken, and not true Egg and should therefore not be broken into further sub-genres. Some bands have e-mailed the Chicken Egg team asking to be taken out of Chicken Egg sub-genre claiming to be Duck Egg. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow"> https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

I have to go with the chicken as you need something to lay the egg and look after it.

You're absolutely right. The question wasn't "which came first the chicken or the chicken egg?".  I think I also saw on some nature program or something that birds are dinosaur descendant or that dinosaurs were more bird like or something. And then there's that theory about the brontosaurus being thin at one end, much much thicker in the middle and then thin again at the far end. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Well, I broke a 50/50 tie, but it's obviously the egg that came first. The first chicken had to had come from an egg. Now people would say 'how did the egg get there'? It got there from another chicken who came from an egg. Case closed. That is the beginnings of the chicken. -------------

Since the egg eventually becomes the chicken, I can state that there is such a thing as Immaculate Conception.

I must be a bit serious and agree with Logan. Evolution wise the egg came milions of years before the chicken. And those of you that do not agree are welcome to listen to "L'evolutione" (Banco - Darwin). ------------- omri |

The egg in question is the egg that chickens come from not the egg of pre-chicken animals. Now what is your answer? ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Well, the chicken egg would have had to come before the chicken. The mutation which would have finally resulted in the first organism to be classified as a chicken would have had to come in the formation of said organism. The proto-chicken would not have suddenly mutated mid-life to become the first chicken. So there. Argument over. The egg came first.

The way the question is posed, "the chicken or the egg" suggests we're talking about a particular chicken and a particular egg, therefore the chicken came first (assuming the egg is fresh). ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ocellatedgod" rel="nofollow - last.fm |

For the egg to develop into a chicken it must contain chicken DNA and the degree of mutation required to do that is exactly the same level as required by a mid-life mutation and is therefore just as unlikely. A proto-chicken lays proto-chicken eggs and a pre-proto-chicken egg produces pre-proto-chickens. No single mutation is ever going to produce a proto-chicken from a pre-proto-chicken egg. The infinitesimal levels of change from post-proto-chicken to neo-chicken occur in equally infinitesimal small steps such that each generation is indistinguishable from the previous generation and it's only when you compare first and last do you see a difference. Therefore to mutate from a chicken-related egg into a canterbury-chicken is not a sudden single step, but is a progression of multiple proto-egg/post-egg crossover cycles. So there. Argument just rekindled.  ------------- What? |
