For the egg to develop into a chicken it must contain chicken DNA and the degree of mutation required to do that is exactly the same level as required by a mid-life mutation and is therefore just as unlikely. A proto-chicken lays proto-chicken eggs and a pre-proto-chicken egg produces pre-proto-chickens. No single mutation is ever going to produce a proto-chicken from a pre-proto-chicken egg. The infinitesimal levels of change from post-proto-chicken to neo-chicken occur in equally infinitesimal small steps such that each generation is indistinguishable from the previous generation and it's only when you compare first and last do you see a difference. Therefore to mutate from a chicken-related egg into a canterbury-chicken is not a sudden single step, but is a progression of multiple proto-egg/post-egg crossover cycles. So there. Argument just rekindled.

The way the question is posed, "the chicken or the egg" suggests we're talking about a particular chicken and a particular egg, therefore the chicken came first (assuming the egg is fresh).

Well, the chicken egg would have had to come before the chicken. The mutation which would have finally resulted in the first organism to be classified as a chicken would have had to come in the formation of said organism. The proto-chicken would not have suddenly mutated mid-life to become the first chicken. So there. Argument over. The egg came first.

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.

The egg in question is the egg that chickens come from not the egg of pre-chicken animals. Now what is your answer? |

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I must be a bit serious and agree with Logan. Evolution wise the egg came milions of years before the chicken. And those of you that do not agree are welcome to listen to "L'evolutione" (Banco - Darwin).

Since the egg eventually becomes the chicken, I can state that there is such a thing as Immaculate Conception.

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

The frog was a prince, the prince was a brick, the brick was an egg, the egg was a bird.
