I know this isn't exactly serious or important but I was just wondering what you lovely people think.

What came first, the chicken or the egg?

I was just being all reminiscent t'other day, remembering our lovely discussions in maths lessons.... Anyway I, personally, think it was the egg. My reasoning behind it would be that, yes they could both have easily appeared from nowhere, but surely an organism needs to grow and mature into something rather than just...being. What I mean is, the egg would have to hatch and gradually develop into the chicken, whereas the chicken would just appear fully grown...?

In discussions I've had before, we've argued that an egg must have come from somewhere, therefore meaning the chicken came first. However, the chicken surely must have been hatched from an egg?

OK I'll stop before my brain implodes. Over to you.
