Re: Lets Settle This Once and For All, What Came first the chicken or the egg?

People have been successful in answering it before...

Anyway, there are two possible schools of thought, dependent entirely on the answer to one question. What is a chicken egg?

Is a chicken egg an egg laid by a chicken, or is it an egg from which a chicken comes out of. If a chicken laid an egg and a toad came out of it, would it be a chicken egg or a toad egg?

Answer that, and you've got the answer to the which came first question.

If a chicken egg is an egg laid by a chicken, then the chicken came first because the egg from which the first chicken was born was actually NOT a chicken egg, but a almost-but-not-quite-chicken egg.

If a chicken egg is an egg from which a chicken comes out, then the egg came first, because the first chicken had to come AFTER the first chicken egg.
