Oh my gosh you people don't read my posts. I said that the egg could've been easily hatched by something else- something that wasn't quite a chicken but through evolution and other weirdo processes actually turned out to be raising a chicken. That is so much more plausible than a random chicken plopping down to Earth from the sky.

Everyone, it's raining chickens!!!

I read your post, I just can't bring myself into thinking that a penguin would hatch a chicken or something...Or even worse...MJ hatching an egg. :omg:

Well, that'd explain homosexuals.

Case closed, MJ had a kid.

The Egg.

One simple egg hatched itself, producing a chick.As the chick growed and growed, it turned into a chicken.The chicken hatched another one and yada-yada-yada...

How'd the egg come to be?

I think it was the chicken first..it evolved over time, from what, the T-rex? And then gave birth to a wonderful egg..but how? I thought chickens reproduce sexually...no asexually.

Believe me Snook, it's the egg

I wonder if eggs could reproduce..

Exactly. If it was just one magical egg, then how in the world would it reproduce? There's one way, but I highly doubt that. :P

It was hermaphrodic. Duh.

No no no no NO! It's not a completely different species that gave birth to the egg, it was a species that was incredibly similar to the chicken, almost exactly the same, but still technically different, that gave birth to the egg, thus the process of evolution is explained.

That's a good theory because you are asking how the egg could of come to be if there was no chicken to mother it and lay it. The first ever chicken had to hatch from an egg, but that doesn't necessarily that the egg had to come from another chicken, but something obscenely close (genetically) to a chicken, so that would technically mean that the egg came first.

(If you want a shorter answer please skip to the summary at the bottom of the page)
No, they can't reproduce, but who's to say that there was only ONE chicken/egg when it came to be? Like Argie said, it could be that they were hermaphrodic, or that it went off and reproduced with something not too dissimilar to itself, which would of course mean that the combined genetics of the two species created what we can call today, a chicken egg. And keep in mind that the chicken was not formed through an instant, but was formed gradually as the genetics of other species (once again) not too dissimilar to the chicken became crossed with other (once again, again) species not to dissimilar to the chicken, but if you want an absolute moment when the chicken and/or egg came to be, it was probably when all of the genetics of all the species not too dissimilar to the chicken came together through a process of reproduction and the passing down of genes, created two OR MORE species that were (not this time folks) actually quite similar to the chicken, that then bred, to make an egg that would soon hatch into a chicken. Now remember how I said two OR MORE? By that I meant that the same two species that were actually quite similar to the chicken came together in the same place at the same time, and managed to create a chicken egg as well, which would then hatch and probably go breed with the one thing that was exactly the same as it which was the chicken I mentioned earlier, and keep in mind that this could have happened a whole number of times over different places creating a ton of chicken which would then go breed with the other chickens to make more chickens.

SUMMARY (only about three sentences):

Spoiler:

Edit: This should DEFINITELY be moved to the debates hall.

If God could just create the chicken instantly, why would it go through all those phases? Never mind anyway, that's a stupid question.. :P
The evolution theory sounds reasonable, I admit that. But I'm still going with Chicken..Or just neither since according to that, the creature who became a chicken came before it even existed. 8D

Yes religiously the chicken came first, scientifically it's just a load of dingo's kidneys.

I am very impressed with how much everyone is posting. I am wondering what would happen if Charles Darwin was alive today and read this post. I wonder what he would say...

Super-Human Posts : 3778 Registration date : 2008-01-26

All I see in the Poll is Chicken & egg. Where is the answer "No"?

"Then God made animals"

The end.

Lock please.

I just thought I would add some things to point out: firstly, there is NO SUCH THING AS GOD (this is a SCIENTIFIC discussion). A second thing is, I heard the chicken evolved from Velociraptors. Also, the one penguin who posted right before was back-seat modding.

I believe a talking hamburger made everything.

First part was your opinion. And please explain to me how you want to have a "scientific discussion without religion coming in?

And to question your answer, if a chicken evolved from velociraptors, then what did the velociraptor evolve from and what did that creature evolve from etc.

Pieces of bacteria that.... just... hmm. Good question.

Well, here's what I have to say:

For Triton, I would like to point out that it is possible to have a scientific discussion WITHOUT INVOLVING RELIGION. This conversation is supposed to be scientific. And it is not just my opinion God isn't real. It's a fact he doesn't exist. Also, I would like you to prove to me he does exist. I don't believe anything unless there's enough evidence (and please, books and web-sites are NOT evidence. Give me an experiment or something.)
For Argie, I would like to say that bacteria are mainly made up of only two things: organic molecules (DNA in the nucleoid, RNA in the ribosomes and on its own, and phosphilids in the cell membrane) and water (the cytoplasm).

**Hero of Time** Posts : 11494 Registration date : 2008-03-08

It is not possible to have a scientific discussion involving your beliefs on evolutions/creationism/and intelligent design smashed into a classic question without involving religion. And, even though you are athiest, don't say it is fact that there is no God, because then you will be lying. You have no idea, just like us. You could at least say "I believe".
