Everyone knows this question. Although it’s taken as a riddle, it is a serious question. So which came first?
< STRONG According to creation, God made the chicken first, with the egg following. (Biblical)
God made all the animals first.Gen 1:24 And God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds--livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds." And it was so.
>> According to macro evolution, the egg clearly came first.
The earliest known egg-laying amniotes appeared during the Carboniferous period some 300 million years ago. Chickens belong to an order of birds (the Galliformes) that made their first appearance in the Eocene epoch some 50 million years ago.
So the amniotic egg clearly came first.

>> According to macro evolution, the egg and the chicken started as splitting cells and evolved.
Eventually, the egg cell started to become smaller and smaller as the parent cell became bigger.
< Do we see any cells today that split with a smaller sister? Nope!
