Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
The egg. A chicken can produce a non-chicken, that’s how evolution works. So by extension, a non-chicken can produce a chicken. On the other hand, a chicken egg can’t grow up to be anything but a chicken, and a non-chicken egg can’t grow up to be anything but a non-chicken. So the chicken must have come from an egg, but the egg doesn’t have to come from a chicken, so only the egg could have come first.
There are two theories. If you believe Genesis, it’s the chicken because all the creatures (chickens, not eggs) were created at once so the egg followed. However, if you agree with American Indian lore, you believe that the Great Spirit came from a giant golden egg to create the world. So it would be the egg. It’s up to you.
