If the question is in regards to a chicken and a chicken egg, the chicken came first. We (mostly) all agree that the first chicken came from an egg. But was it a chicken egg? I think not. I say the egg that contained the first chicken was a proto-chicken egg, because it existed as such long before the chicken itself existed. Since most definitions of "egg" relate it to the creature that produces it rather than to the creature it contains, the first chicken egg had to be produced by a creature which was already a chicken.



I 2nd. Mabs opinion of GeeMack's answer!
I would rather face a cold reality than delude myself with comforting fantasies.

You are free to believe what you want to believe and I am free to ridicule you for it.

The result of an unbiased and rational search for the truth.

No, clearly eggs are midget chickens. And since chickens are neither trees nor a mountain, the egg must have been created first.

Aha! Now I understand! So the next relevant questions are-

1. Was chicken or egg fried first? (proto-chicken was barbequed before either were fried)

2. Was first omlette cheese or bacon?

That's why I never cared for chicken… it tastes just like frogs, lizards and snakes… yuck.
