    What came first, the chicken or the egg?

    Question #10390. Asked by liane. (Feb 13 01 1:14 AM)

    		It all depends on your point of view. If you subscribe to the theory of evolution you would believe the egg was laid by a close relative of the chicken from which chickens became chickens. If you believe the theory of creation than you believe God created the chicken. So if you believe in evolution then the egg came first. If you believe in creation then the chicken came first.

    		The reptilian egg certainly pre-dates any chicken.

    		Since the question doesn't mention "chicken egg" it is quite obvious the answer is egg. We all are aware dinosaurs hatched from eggs long before there were chickens.

    		I'm a creationist, but if I were an evolutionist I would probably try to defend the egg, find out why! Read my article "Which Came First, the Chicken or the Egg?" at messianicideas.com

    		Please don't try to plug creationism here - we deal in verifiable or supportable answers here as far as is possible. And answers here are subject to review and update, but only with support from acceptable sources.

    An English Lord Chancellor and the ghost of a chicken make an unlikely pairing. What happened to the chicken, and who is more associated with this sort of thing nowadays?

    Is the chicken that KFC sells real chicken or genetically altered?

    Please help me find a short story written maybe 50 years ago--I'm not sure of that--about the "what-ifs" of a mother when her son is killed in a bicycle accident because he swerved to avoid a chicken. I thought the title was "The White Chicken," but if so, it's not on the internet. (I'm probably getting Wm. Carlos Wms. mixed in somehow.) The boy's name was Packy.
