But since life doesn't come from God, and we all just "willed" ourselves to evolve from a single celled organism before there WERE even chickens, of COURSE it was the chicken.

[Coco]

Maybe a pre-chicken animal put an egg, and from the egg came out the evolved chicken... That way, the egg came first.

After all, evolution is a generational process.

[Marky]

To let a chick come out of an egg, a chicken needs to sit on it. So, if there was first an egg, you still wouldn't have shit, because there would be no chicken to sit on the egg....

[Icey]

UNLESS, you just put the egg in hte correct temperature to allow it to hatch.

[Coco]

Or you sit the pre-chicken animal on the egg.

[floppydisk]

I say Hecc sat on the egg.

[Icey]

I say Hecc bought one of those heat bulps and hatched the first chick.

[Zatoichi]

Tis the egg you damn fools. As a christian who believes in evolution the answer is quite simple. Ya bunch of dumy heads.

I'm still sure it was Heccubus

Well, it fully depends on weather you are a creationist or a evolutionist, but the result is basically the same.

You see, if you are a creationist, then you beleive that God/Allah/Yahweh created all life on earth, including the first chicken, who later laid the first egg. The egg couldn't have been created first becuase there would be no chicken to help hatch it.

However, if you are an evolutionist, then you belive the chicken evolved from some other creature (just to make things easier, let's call it the 'Saber-Toothed Chickasaurus'). As the Saber-Toothed Chickasaurus evolved into it's fat, finger-lickin' good predecessor, it would have laid an egg that hatched and brought forth upon the world the first chicken. The egg did not come first becuase it was the last Saber-Toothed Chickasaurus egg, not the first chicken egg.

But there's one thing the riddle leaves out: Does it mean the first DOMESTICATED chicken, or the first WILD chicken? Well the first two answered the fact that the wild chicken came first, but what of the first domesticated chicken? Well the first caveman (or Neanderthal as they prefer to be called) who first thought "round thingy from birdy butt tasty" would have taken the chicken from the wild, keep it in a makeshift pen and raise it as it's own to lay eggs for his eating pleasure, then eating the bird once it was too old to lay eggs. Thus the first domesticated chicken would have come first, as well as lay the first domesticated chicken egg, with a little help from the neanderthals, who all died out from the ever-expanding population of Cro-Magnon man except for one caveman, who died shortly afterwards of salmonella poisoning from eating too many raw eggs.

So basically, any way you slice it, the chicken came first. I now own your testicles. *passes around testicle collection basket*

Actually, the caveman would just eat the chicken, domestication came much later.

[StantheGarbageMan]

No, neanderthals domesticated animals too. They were a lot smarter then what we give them credit for.

[banned]

Domestication came around the late stone ages, neanderthals were hunters and gatherers, they did not domesticate animals.

[EwokHunter]

Wow!
The Egg is winning, wow does it means that an egg is better than Heccubs?

[banned]

Never, people obviously did not see the heccubus option.
