Question: What came first, the chicken or the egg?
Position‹2 of 3›: The egg came first, and then it hatched a chicken

This position holds that the egg came first, and then hatched into a chicken. It argues that an egg is logically required to hatch a chicken, and that the science agrees — egg-laying animals long predate chickens, so eggs existed on Earth far before the first chicken did.

There is scientific proof that the egg came first
The chicken is descended from other types of birds, and there is scientific proof to show that the first egg was laid by another bird, which eventually produced what we now know as a chicken.
