I vote "the egg". I think the ancestors of the modern chicken were laying eggs before we got ourselves to today's "chicken."

Is there anyway it could be other than the egg? At some point cumulative mutations of a non-chicken genome resulted in the chicken genome, but those mutations assert themselves during embryonic development which occurs in the egg.
Ie an already hatched non-chicken doesnt mutate into a chicken and then lay eggs.

*******.
I usually shy away from posting about poker--though i do like to read about it. If i posted about poker--all i'd get is "TP/MM" or some other smartass remark--this way it is I who can be the smartass.
Answer is simple---I don't know, which means God did it.

Chicken. Egg needs to be sat on and basically babied, at a certain temperature for it to even consider hatching.
This is what makes evolutionist so sad- the easy answers completely escape them.

obviously if you define "chicken" by drawing an arbitrary line in the genetic lineage of modern domestic chickens, the first chicken was incubated by a genetically slightly different proto-chicken. the egg came first.
mmmmm, proto-chicken...

Was this a joke post? Or do you really think that the chicken/egg question has an easy answer, and also proves that evolution never happened?

Since chicken eggs can hatch in incubators or with any substitute source of warmth, your statement is irrelevant.

The chicken definately came first... God made it and then it laid eggs.
Were there incubators on the Galapagos Islands?

Very nice.
And to answer the question, I gotta go with my pro-evolution (saying the phrase pro-evolution seems a lot like saying the phrase pro-"round earth" or pro-"belief that one plus one equals two" but thats neither here nor there, I just like stirring up trouble) cronies and go with the egg, for reasons stated above.

It's obviously a silly question. It is exactly equivalent to asking, "do you believe in evolution or not." We're going to get all the usual responses from all the usual suspects.

That's actually really funny you mention that.
A friend of mine is currently at the Galapagos Islands for 6 months. He wrote an email a few weeks ago telling us that he saw the funniest thing...two male tortoises (sp?) were having gay buttsex.
I'm not sure what this proves...but I bet Custom would have something to say about it.
