Which Came First, the Chicken or the Egg?

This question has been going around forever. In fact the question should really be "Which came first; the chicken, the egg, or the question itself?" In theory there are two different sides to this story. Either the chicken had to come first to lay the first egg, or the egg had to come first to hatch the first chicken. Now you can pick one of those two sides and continue arguing endlessly, but not me. The answer is simple, however, you have to look past the chicken… allow me to explain.

Simply put, we all know dinosaurs laid eggs; dinosaurs came before chickens, so by default the egg came first.

Many of you who believe the egg came first will probably stop reading, and start rubbing it in the faces of your chicken-loving opponents. But I am not done just yet. Although I believe the egg came first, there is one exception; was there some kind of prehistoric chicken dinosaur that could have been laying eggs all this time? Anyone who has seen Jurassic Park knows 2 things; a vibrating glass of water means a T-Rex attack is coming, and that dinosaurs are descended from birds. Although it probably would not be the scariest of dinosaurs, I could imagine a prehistoric chicken-a-saurus rex walking around laying eggs. After all, cavemen had to scramble something for breakfast.

So to answer the question, the egg probably came first. However, the real question is whether it hatched a chicken or a chicken-a-saurus rex.
