Technically there is no first point. ;)<br /><br />That's kinda like saying that the O starts at the top. XD It doesn't quite work.

"<i>Religion wise, God created the Chicken before the egg.. I have no more explanation.

The egg, if you think evolution-wise.<br /><br />It doesn't go from reptile-chicken(people believe chickens evolved from dinosaurs) but in reletive terms it'd be like a dinosaur-half-bird-chicken thing laying an egg, and it's a chicken instead of a dinosaur. Obviously it didn't happen that fast, though. xD<br /><br />Religion wise, God created the Chicken before the egg.. I have no more explanation. O_0

From a Creation standpoint, the chicken came first, because God created everything in the adult state, even humans. Adam was not a child, he was an adult when God created him.<br /><br />From an evolution standpoint, the egg came first, because everything evolves from a lower state to a higher state.

From a biological stand-point, egg.<br /><br />All life began as a random collision of molecules that eventually lead to single cellular life. Then cell life became multi-cellular. The first "true chicken" was probably various bird-like reptiles that gave birth to some sort of biologically diverse offspring that managed to propogate and breed with similar "Chickens" of its species. Nonetheless, it would be fairly difficult to pin point exactly when a chicken first began as a species, since the line between a diverse gene pool and an entirely new species began.<br /><br /><br />~end rant~

Oh yeah!<br /><br />Angelic321, The egg is just a big cell that develops into something more!

The Egg! The first "chicken" egg was in a way laid by the chickens evolutionary predecessor!

the problem is that evolution came first :D so in the theory the egg couldn't come first :) first came the cells in the water then came the small lil creatures of the sea and more and more to come they mutated all after where they choosed to live and soon some mutated to be on land for some few minutes then again for maybe hours then again for choosing between water and land then again some choosed to stay on land other to stay in water and other again to enjoy both sides. and such the evolution began to evolve. but yes first a small critt then an egg, <br /><br />there needs a chicken before an egg there needs an egg before a chicken. xD so well. cells.. all i can say is cells xD

Oh I know, I read some articles in Wikipedia about this dilemma =) <br />But I am talking about philosophical meaning...
