While scientists have finally answered that age old question! We'll have to come up with something else to debate about. " Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal's life.

Yep, I've been saying it for ages, the egg was a mutation/evolution of its parent, so was different, and over time has evolved into a the chicken as we know it.

I take no chances: I make something called "Which Came First ?" salad,containing lettuce,tomato,small pieces of cooked chicken breast, and sliced hard-boiled egg.
How's that for a total, time-wasting non-sequitur ?

It does not say anything specific, but it goes along with "god created man in his image". Something about one of the 7 days, when god created all the animals or something er rahter.

The chicken came first.
To create a chicken you need the egg from the female and the fertilization from the male.
The chicken came first.
And I was thoroughly amused at the contents of the article:
"Now a team made up of a geneticist, philosopher and chicken farmer claim to have found an answer." - Does this represent a viable scientific team?
"Mr Papineau, an expert in the philosophy of science, agreed that the first chicken came from an egg and that proves there were chicken eggs before chickens." - Sure - just because he agrees proves it - hahahaha
"Bourns, chairman of trade body Great British Chicken, said he was also firmly in the pro-egg camp. He said: "Eggs were around long before the first chicken arrived. Of course, they may not have been chicken eggs as we see them today, but they were eggs."" - This is too cute.
And finally - I love the last paragraph!
"The debate, which may come as a relief to those with argumentative relatives, was organized by Disney to promote the release of the film "Chicken Little" on DVD."
This was a great thread - thanks for a good laugh - I really enjoyed it.

A chicken and an egg are laying in bed. The chicken is sitting pack contentedly, smiling, and smoking a cigarette. The egg looks disconsolate as she sits on the edge of the bed. "Well," she said, " I guess that question is answered..."

Quoting Kaddyuk (Reply 14): What if you were reading a menu and the question arose? Which appeared first on the menu? The Chicken Or The Egg?
Hey Kaddy
I'd say the egg is usualy before the chicken dishes on the menu (in America atleast).
