The egg came first.
Read that, and read it again if you think the chicken came first.
The egg came first.
One day there was a single celled organism, and through genetic mutations, that organism, many years later, became a myriad celled organism. That myriad celled organism looked very much like a chicken.
It bocked like a chicken, walked like a chicken smelled like a chicken.
And it looked like one too.
But it wasn't a chicken.
It was a hideous mutant created by some bastardization of mammalian childbirth and reptilian childbirth. It probably came from an egg grown inside and hatched inside its equally strange mother.
One day, this strange creature excretes a large white (or brown) egg shaped object, and from that object (herein called an egg) was the first chicken birthed.
You see, a chicken, in the classical sense is an animal that lays chicken eggs, but is also hatched from one.
When that animal lay the first chicken egg, it created the first chicken but was not a chicken in and of itself.
So next time someone asks that chicken or egg question, say "the egg."
