What Came First: The Chicken or the Egg?

Well, that's really a question that has existed throughout history and even today, and it creates a dilemma among people. Here, I am talking about the question: what came first — the chicken or the egg?

To me, this question has evolved from the question of how life and the universe began. There are a lot of examples of similar questions, I would say. One of them, if we talk about it in a similar manner, is: What comes first, the day or the night? And if you want to count more, here is another one: How did human life evolve? So, the purpose of all these questions sums up to one thing: to know the existence of what came first.

Well, now, I am not going to answer or discuss those examples or questions, but actually, I want to stay on my topic about the chicken or the egg. So, let's now deal with it.

According to scientists and their observations on biological evolution, the egg came first, as it evolved prior to the chicken. It is found from observation that all chickens hatch from eggs, and this clearly indicates the existence of the egg prior to the chicken. But let me not just stop here, as I have a few more things to say.

Just now, I talked from the scientific point of view, and now let's talk from our ancestors' point of view. Our ancestors were not aware of biological evolution. Could you name any one ancestor? Well, no problem if you don't remember any name right now. So, let me handle this. Aristotle. Yes, Aristotle, as you must have heard this name, was puzzled by the idea of whether there could be a first bird or a first egg, so he concluded that both the chicken and the egg must have always existed.

There are lots of answers from different ancestors like Plato, Hegel, Marx, and so on, and every one of them put forward their own theory of existence. But in today's modern age, we believe in and go with the scientific point of view.

I accept that nobody knows the truth, neither our ancestors nor scientists. I am saying this because maybe what they are observing today is true, but who knows what happened at the time of existence? What came first — the chicken or the egg?
