What came first, the chicken or the egg?

Question: What came first, the chicken or the egg?
Position‹3 of 3: Neither the chicken nor the egg came first

This position holds that neither the chicken nor the egg came first. It argues the question poses a false dichotomy and an essentially infinite sequence, with no true 'first' chicken or egg to identify—and that having no definitive answer is perfectly fine.

This is a false dichotomy; there was no "first" chicken or egg
Eggs, as we know it today, did not simply come into existence overnight, and neither did the modern chicken. Both of them were the result of centuries of evolution.
There is no true origin of the first chicken or the first egg
Some things simply came to be and are outside of the boundaries of human investigation. The problem of the chicken and the egg is one of those. Without a chicken, there could be no egg, and without an egg, there could be no chicken.
