What Came first?

[Anarchy]

Time old question- I think I have the answer!
what came first the chicken or the egg?
obviously it was the egg. If you believe in Darwins theory of evolution Birds- in this case a particular bird- the chicken has evolved from reptiles. Now reptiles lay eggs and with each new batch the reptile would have altered a little bit. So with each new generation of reptiles a particular species of reptile became more and more chicken-like untile one day the egg containing the worlds first chicken was layed- the egg came first! I t developed, hatched and then the chicken struts the Earth.
Any other opiniond? Because I am 98% certain that6 my above answer is the right one.

I did have an actual paragraph typed out, but it was pretty flawed, so I'll save my bit for when the thread develops.

I stole this from another board, however, and felt it worthy of a post:

That's brilliant Martin.

I think you might have a point Ryan, although I'd always imagined the chicken being first.

Im not Ryan- Im Matthew.
I thought that too until I read Darwin: A theory of evolution.
Believe me Im right.
