The egg, obviously.

Someone told me that this question is a basis of a religion debate.
The chicken coming first is creation in which it seems to implies that God created animals in their adult stages.
The egg coming first is evolution which implies that a generation of birds laid eggs that hatched into a chickens.

I'd say the egg, because the chicken would have to come from somewhere. It makes sense if you use the theory of evolution, because one day a species would create a chicken egg, thus hatching a chicken. This proves the egg came before the chicken. Kinda.

For evolutionists, the egg. All dependent though, I mean other creatures hatch eggs. So there could've been cross-breeding, mutation, etc.
For the faithful -- the chicken.

It's the egg. The corresponding egg goes after the corresponding animal. New species are formed from genetic mutations which were accidents. Techincally, the first would be the egg, but that would be by accident. Naturally it's the chicken.

THE EGG! there have been eggs way before Chickens, and there will be eggs after Chickens.

good point. chickens suck. they need to make genetically altered super chicken raptors

Um, the egg. Animals don't just pop into existence.

You're the eeg.
Anyways, is there any serious scientific explanation for the question? Just curious.

I don't know, everyone here is pretty much video game geeks. (like me

Do you know someone that saw an animal come from thin air?

Meta-Knight did with his infinite cape glitch.
But in all honesty, it WAS the egg.

Rather than getting into the scientific and evolutionary principles behind this question (it does have a definite, correct answer by the way), instead I'm going to expound on the wonders of chickens and eggs and make this thread worthwhile
Chickens are awesome because they lay eggs for you to eat, and you can eat the chicken itself too. It's a food machine.
Same with cows. You can drink their milk (or use it to make cheese, yogurt, butter), and eat them too! These animals are true marvels of the universe. Honestly, I think I could survive forever with a few chickens and cows. Eggs and milk in the morning, a nice cheeseburger for lunch, chicken for dinner, and a nice yogurt snack before bed.
It's no coincidence that these majestic creatures spawned one of the greatest cartoon combos ever:

Yes. My dog came from the sky when it was raining cats & dogs.
Answer sloved. BTW you did know I was kidding right?

I would still like to see a definite answer just to know, though I'm leaning towards the egg.
However...
What are you going to do when you run out of Chickens and Cows to feed off of? Wouldn't you want to wait to eat them AFTER they produce the eggs/yogurt/more chickens/cows to have a "filling" lunch/dinner?
Also don't you need something to cook them... unless you intend to eat them raw?
I walked along the avenue.
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you;
Meet a girl like you.
With auburn hair and tawny eyes;
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through;
Hypnotize me through.
And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldnt get away.
That's Spanish for the chicken.

Seeing as the Chicken is a relative of the T-Rex and the T-Rex laid eggs, and birds evolved from Dinosaur descendants, gotta be the egg.

The egg. Definitely.

Once, there was a dinosaur bird.
The dinosaur birds had to adjust in order to spread their offspring more easily.
The dinosaur bird species started to look more and more like chickens, until one day, when a semi-chicken laid a chicken egg.

Neither did. Saying the chicken came first would be saying "all of the sudden there was a chicken"
Saying the egg came first would be like saying "all of the sudden there was a chicken egg."
If you look at it though a serious evolutionary view, the ancestor of the chicken gradually adapted over time and became the chicken that it is now.

Well, technically, once the genetically "perfect" chicken is born, it came from the egg.
Also, I just realized this question is pretty open. Saying the Chicken or the Egg, for example, isn't very specific. It is assumed the egg is the chicken's, but it doesn't say so. So, in the end, anything that laid eggs before the chicken came around would make the egg the correct answer. sorry if the way i worded it is confusing

Well technically a chicken 1000 years ago isn't the exact same as a chicken now. Kind of like how blue eyes was a pretty recent genetic mutation.
I second that...

I guess that somehow these two species created a the chicken. The mother laid the egg, then the chicken came.
So in my opinion, egg.
I use to own some chickens ^-^ But they were racist so we had to get rid of them ;__;
