Which one came first: Egg or Chicken?

The logic is plain simple; it's how you perceive it that forms the puzzle.

Would you really call that first egg, out of which a chick hatched, a hen's egg? What if I say the first chicken came from a dinosaur's egg? 

If you think that the egg belongs to the parent (which seems rather obvious), then the first chicken hatched from another organism's egg, and then it laid the first true chicken's egg.

Due note the question doesn't specify that it has to be a hen's egg.

It's  vs just egg in general.

Then obviously a dinosaur's egg came first. The first prehistoric animals that settled on land laid eggs; and this has no relation to chickens (which came a long time later). The question, in order to make sense, has to be "What came first: Chicken or its egg?"

actually, it does have a relation. the closest relative of the tyrannosaurus rex (T-rex) is a chicken.

Nope. The closest existing relative to a T-Rex is a chicken.

If you do rely solely on Googled facts rather than the complete background knowledge of a subject, at least read those facts right.

Bro i got this fact from my brother who is a school passout and not from google. i forgot to put living but hey human error.

Unfortunately, that is a theory. Not a fact.

the big bang is a theory. the human evolution is a theory. the stars, the sun, the earth, the cosmos were all once a theory. theory leads to facts. (im not telling the whole process of theory to fact)

Did you know that: The 'chicken or egg' paradox was first proposed by philosophers in Ancient Greece to describe the problem of determining cause-and-effect. Now, a team of physicists has shown that, as far as quantum physics is concerned, the chicken and the egg can both come first, just like the cat is dead and alive. 

But I disagree chicken come first.

Is a single-cell organism considered an "egg" or an actual living thing?

You are talking about Schrodinger's Cat, yes?

What is schrodingers cat? I'm a bit outdated these days 

Also, duh everybody knows that chicken came first.

It is obvious that a dinosaur egg came first. The imperative question was whether a chicken egg came first or not. And I have answered that question. 

Bye. xD.

But where did that dinosaur egg come from? Did it just create itself?

It appeared the same way a chicken egg did. Don't you know about Darwin's theory of evolution? Use your brain.. Egg head.. Lol. Just kidding.

I wish I was an egghead.

[Atomic_Tanker 249]

I think that the egg came first, not the chicken. 

Why?

Spoiler

Because I just heard from neighbours that the van carrying the chickens got a flat tyre xD

That was fun, but pointless. :D

The chicken or the egg causality dilemma is commonly stated as the question, "which came first: the chicken or the egg?" The dilemma stems from the observation that all chickens hatch from eggs and all chicken eggs are laid by chickens. "Chicken-and-egg" is a metaphoric adjective describing situations where it is not clear which of two events should be considered the cause and which should be considered the effect, to express a scenario of infinite regress, or to express the difficulty of sequencing actions where each seems to depend on others being done first. Plutarch posed the question as a philosophical matter in his essay "written in the 1st century CE. So quite a long time ago. 

With the advance in science knowledge the answer is not so simple: If you consider the eggs with a solid shell, initially there were no shell, it came later as part of a positive evolutionary mutation. However if you consider eggs without shell existed before the bird known and defined as chicken existed. So we can conclude that the invention of egg predated the creation of chicken.

Egg, obviously

[alkyng 3,080]

This question is repeating alot, and I have never cared about it. Because it's just silly

Basically, if you believe in evolution.. Nothing have come first, they evolved together simultaneously through the million years. Definitely evolution believers don't think that OMG an egg appeared on ground suddenly

And if you believe in god.. God create them. Whether the Egg came first or Chicken. You can't know if there wasn't a verse about in your religion

According to Harry potter's seventh book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, a circle have no beginning. 

I don't believe in evolution, and like @Person_Random said in a post above, God made the world so the chicken came first. It was said clearly God told the animals to reproduce, not the eggs.
