I thought so... could have done the *ducks and strolls off before belting it across the park* thing, but I thought you'd find it funny too, straight off.

I have a solution to this puzzle!

I went in a half-marathon today, the City 2 Surf. It was a long way and I'm real tired. But! There were two runners who passed me, one dressed as a chicken, the other as an egg. The egg was in front of the chicken.

Therefore, the answer's the Egg.

I wish I'd thought of that.

To me, this appears to be one of those topics about which no consensus will ever develop. As a Red Sox fan living in NYC, I have some experience with this.

Anyway, I got to wondering about a related topic. Maybe opinions will be less divided here. Does anyone know why did the chicken cross the road?

Okay i approached this from a whole different view, i had a race between the chicken adn the egg to see which one came to the finish line first, since eggs can't move, the winner was the chicken! so the chicken did come first!
no i didn't actually hold a race

If you start thinking about it, it may be possible that the chicken came before the egg. (If you think that the egg in question is an egg made by a chicken) As at the moment that Evolution makes the "choice" to make the first "real" chicken, you can't know if the first egg which holds the "first" chicken really holds a living chicken . If the first "chicken" is born, together with a "second" chicken, you can conclude that the first and the second eggs aren't "chicken Eggs". as the first "Real" chicken egg must be made by REAL chickens!!

Conclusion: The chicken was first.

I just had an epiphany, realizing that the essence of the question here is whether the adult chicken or the chicken in embryo came first. This is quite a different philosophical question than whether non-chickens can lead to chickens because, with the above slant, either way we're talking about chickens. Coming at the question from this direction, I'd have to say that everything is conceived in embryo before developing to fully-formed status.

I don't think I can answer "the egg" though, because I'm not actually talking about the egg, but rather the embryo inside the egg. However... if "egg" refers to the medium by which the embryonic chicken was brought about, then I'd conclude that, yes, some mechanism for creation had to exist in order for an embryonic chicken to appear.

I would say chicken for quite a few reasons but i'll just say one of em:
If Adam was created as a fully grown man(which we can deffinitely assume he was), there is nothing to say the chicken wasn't fully grown either, and did not come from an egg. Thus the chicken came first.

Adam was created in God's image, and presumably God isn't an embryo. The chicken was not created in God's image. Sure, nothing in Genesis rules out it being created fully mature, but nothing rules out the opposite.

But even if Adam was created as a fully grown man, wouldn't he still mentally be at the level of a newborn? Would a fully-grown chicken with the brains of a little chick count as a chicken? If yes, then why a chicken embryo doesn't? What makes a chicken a chicken?

And from the insane ramblings on this board, all of which can be concluded to be both true and false, we may infer that the universe is a figment of our collective imaginations.
