Chicken or Egg?

Scientific and Biblical Explanations

This problem is what we call "circular cause and consequence".
If eggs are hatch it'll become chickens that soon will lay its eggs.

So, which came first, the chicken or the egg?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCIENTIFICALLY
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The First Egg laid

Probably the first egg laid found was about 570-600 Million years ago.It was found by Shuhai Xiao and colleagues in Weng'an, South China.
Thousands of egg were found.
It is a microscopic fossil (microfossil) in Neoproterozoic Doushantuo Formation.

The Amniote Eggs

An amniote (group of tetrapod vertebrates that have a terrestrially adapted egg. They include mammals, birds and reptiles, as well as their fossil ancestors) type of egg called Casineria, a tetrapod which lived 340 million years ago in the Mississippian epoch and has a resemblance with small lizards.

The Dinosaurs

Dinosaur eggs are known from about 200 sites around the world, the majority in Asia and mostly in terrestrial (nonmarine) rocks of Cretaceous Age. It may be that thick calcite eggshells evolved during the Cretaceous (145 to 66 million years ago).

The Birds

The oldest known bird, Archaeopteryx, lived 150 million years ago.The earliest and most primitive bird known.

The chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a domesticated fowl. Recent evidence suggests that domestication of the chicken was under way in Vietnam over 10,000 years ago.

The Chickens

The chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a domesticated fowl. Recent evidence suggests that domestication of the chicken was under way in Vietnam over 10,000 years ago.

Anything that has a resemblance with chicken existed few million years ago.


So scientifically speaking, the answer is Egg.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BIBLICALLY
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Creation

"19 And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day. 20 And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 21 And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth, wherewith the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind: and God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth."

From: Bible Verse of the Genesis

Many claims that chicken came first because of "The Creation".

But still there is an argument that God's way of creating birds or chickens are through the scientific way of evolution which stated that EGGS came first.


So Biblically Speaking, it's either Chicken or Egg.
