I was chatting with my friend and touched this topic.

From the dawn of time, was there chicken first or egg first?

I'd say chicken :D

chicken, since it takes a chicken's body to create an egg.

And don't tell me "it takes an egg to make a chicken", because that's something evolution took care of for us :p

Most. Retarded. Question. Evar.

It should be "chicken egg or chicken first" debate.

Obviously there were eggs before there were chickens, unless chickens were the first animal to lay eggs, and chickens as we know them today almost certainly evolved from another kind of bird which laid different eggs, so eggs came first.

The egg the chicken hatched from was laid by another type of bird, and the DNA in that egg mutated slightly from its parents DNA and became a chicken, so depending on which way you look at it, either statement can be true.
If you see the egg laid by a non-chicken with a chicken in it to be a chicken egg, then the egg came first, but if the egg laid by the non-chicken but with a chicken in it is a non-chicken egg, then the chicken came first.

IMHO.

If you believe in evolution: egg.
If you believe in creationism: chicken.
If you're hungry: omlette.

Chicken, but I don't believe in creationism like the above poster mentioned.

If you accept the idea that the fossil record reflects how life has evolve on earth: species that were around before the chicken reproduced with eggs.

Let's try this one,

Which came first? The penis or the vagina?

Let's see who answers which question?

A chicken and an egg were lying next to each other in bed. The chicken was smiling and smoking a cigarette. With a pissed off look the egg said "Well, I guess we've answered that question".
