Which came first? (pertaining to Biology/Evolution)

[kmote]

Huh, I can finally post here. Even though the thread stated minimum 40 posts, I could not post at post count 40, I had to wait until I was above 40.

Anyway, I just wanted to mention about the Chicken and Egg syndrome (someone posted something about it ages ago but I couldn't reply then)

A long time ago
Some type of creature laid an Egg, we'll call it a prehistoric bird
The egg which was laid, was a prehistoric bird egg, as it was laid by a prehistoric bird
Then the prehistoric bird egg hatched it was some type of mutant prehistoric bird, we will call it a chicken

Therefore, the chicken came first
And this is the end of a long debate over this small issue
I waited for that It doesn't seem so exciting anymore!

This is simply a question of how you define a [chicken] egg if you define it as an egg that was laid by a chicken then obviously the chicken came first. If you define it as an egg that contains a chicken then the egg obviously came first.

you have to see what it is before you eat it >.<

No you don't. All living things "eat", including plants.
