i believe the egg came first as well, even if it was a chicken egg.
because i believe the chicken evolved from another species so therefore
it did not exist until it came out of the egg

The answer is that this is the wrong question.

The trouble here is in the word first. A human life contains many
firsts, so the word comes easily to our lips. For example, a Creationist
asked me how the metamorphosis of a butterfly occurred "for the first
time".

French is called a Romance language because it is descended from Roman,
that is, from classical Latin. Across the last 2,000 years, the language
changed bit by bit. We have documents from many of the intervening
centuries, and each is written in something not quite Latin, and not
quite French. They are intermediate.

So, who was the first person to speak French?

You can see that the question simply makes no sense. There was never a
moment when French suddenly leapt into existence. There was no first
French speaker.

Was there a first chicken? Some flavors of Creationism say there was.
But Darwin suggested that species change slowly - in fact, much more
slowly than French did. And we do have fossils showing just that sort of
change.

So, imagine a lizard which laid a lizard egg. Millions of years later,
its descendant was a chicken, which lays a chicken egg. But there was no
moment when chicken-ness suddenly leapt into existence. Similarly, there
was no first land animal, there was no first lung, and there was no
first skeleton. The current scientific theory has all of these coming
about bit by bit.

In short, if a species was created abruptly, then a chicken-and-egg
question make sense. But if that species evolved, then there was no
first chicken, and there was no first egg.

Hope this answers your question.glasses
