The chicken or the egg?

Recommended Posts

which came first? I've came to the conclusion that it was the egg that came first as animals evolve and the chicken must (obviously) be an evolved bird of some type, which would start off as a gradual changing process of the particular bird, with each step starting with an egg... makes more sense then a chicken appearing out of nowhere!

There are two answers to this question depending on your beliefs

1 the egg=evolutionist

2 the chicken=religious/judeo, christian, muslim.

Evolution Vs Creationism code to be cracked to scramble or unscramble?

As this is a science forum, creationism has no place here so it would be egg especially as we know reptiles, amphibians and fish and invertebrates all had eggs before birds existed.

Hey Matt! Dosen't an egg need to be 'layed' by something? A hen/ bird??? :unsure2:

I like this answer, I'm going to say the egg because of evolution. It's the same as a whale evolved from a wolf.

What about duality among animals?

The egg came first. The reason being, the animal that gave birth to the first modern day chicken wasn't a chicken at all. It was 99.999...% chicken. So the first chicken hatched from an egg.

As to how egg births originated, who knows. It might have had something to do with a hardened placenta that newborns of some species were born in for some reason, possibly warmth or protection. This might have gradually changed into a full shell over time.

It needs be laid by something, it doesn't have to be the same species though

Erm whales didn't evolve from wolves, they evolved from hoofed predators and hence are closely related to sheep.

Not sure animals are into maths.

Well if you go off the dirty minded theory,the rooster came first, how do ya think the eggs turn in to baby chickens? And NO the rooster didnt call the chicken the next morning.

When the morphology of these early whales was examined,they discovered that whales are descendants of land living mammals called Pakicetus. I saw it on the discovery channel.

The duality or dualism of the mammal was the ability to live on and as well as in the water,like an otter.They surmised what caused this wolf like creature to evolve into the whale was the lack of food on land, so it took to the water to find food. In the process started adapting it's limbs and body to accommodate it's new hunting environment.

The ear structure is what links this land animal to whales. The structure contains an adaptation to underwater hearing that is possessed only by whales.

I disagree with this statement. If a chicken evolved from something the chicken was still the same species as the animal that laid the egg. A reptile did not one day just become a bird. If that is what happened in the first place.

Matt, HELP! I never fully got my head around Evolution.. but say another species did lay the first egg, how was the parent produced? Not by an egg?

That is where evolving comes in.

Start with the 1 celled thing, it becomes a 2 cell and so on till you get the critter that laid the egg. It for whatever reason begins laying eggs rather than giving live birth.

Well no, at some point it'd have to have one species giving birth to another.

You'd have been better using amphibious lifestyle. Duality is very rarely used in that context to do it commonality in maths.

Yes cetaceans evolved from land animals, I know, but not wolves, more close relatives to sheep and goats.

I just read about this the other day. I dont recall where but it was said that chickens came from asia and was the re**** of breedint to diffrent junglr foul togeather by man. I want to say it was a green jungle foul and a red one but I dont recall for sure. So if thats the case the egg whould come first in the chicken line as they where breed out of two other birds to get what they wanted. I never got a chance to reseacher the info but seems likely to me.

They are bred from red and grey jungle fowl.

Watch this video,it also can be found on this site video gallery;it's called "Darwins Evolution" and it's about whales evolving from wolves.

May I point out that just because some one made a video, it doesnt in anyway mean that they are correct? Gosh I seem to say that alot to my son.

Rarely does not equate to never. Duality and dualism are related. I'm sure you've heard the term "body and soul". Theology says that a human embodies these two parts. I even gave an example,there are many creatures that live on land and in water. But do watch the video and be enlighten.

Did you watch it and weight the evidence? If not how can you discount it?

This question brings out the flaws in our notion of cause and effect.

My answer is that they come into being togther.
