This age old question is probably the most annoying question someone has ever asked me. No, I have absolutely no idea what came first. Because don't you need an egg, to make a chicken yet you also need a chicken to make an egg? It's all quite confusing. This question is also one of Google's most asked questions in the past year. Well apparently "eggsperts" Professor David Papineau and poultry farmer, Charles Bourns, said that it was the egg. Why the egg? Because eggs were around long before the chicken was. Think back to prehistoric times when even dinosaurs had eggs. Every type of animal lays an egg. So if the egg didn't come first, how would all animals be here? Bourns says, ""Eggs were around long before the first chicken arrived. Of course, they may not have been chicken eggs as we see them today, but they were eggs" (CNN's "Chicken and egg debate unscrambled"). But do we really believe these "eggsperts"? Or is it just another theory trying to be proven by people claiming to be knowledgeable? In any case, it's just one of those questions that can never truly be answered. "What came first, the chicken or the egg?" will forever stay scrambled in my mind.
