Once again, a literalist fundamental answer ignoring the metaphysical nature of the question.

The answer?
Well, it’s still unclear whether chicken eggs or chickens came first (the intended question in the original riddle), said Darla Zelenitsky, a paleontologist of the University of Calgary in Alberta who was the first scientist to closely analyze the dinosaur nest.
But interpreted literally, the answer to the riddle is clear. Dinosaurs were forming bird-like nests and laying bird-like eggs long before birds (including chickens) evolved from dinosaurs.
"The egg came before the chicken," Zelenitsky said. "Chickens evolved well after the meat-eating dinosaurs that laid these eggs."

First of all, I haven't seen chickens making nests like these dinosaurs or other birds, they'll lay their eggs pretty much anywhere and prefer someone to make a nest for them. Second of all we learned in elementary school that dino's laid eggs, this is something profoundly new? Third of all the scientific book of Genesis indicates the chicken was created first and those scientists don't even know the world is less thann 10k old. Fourth of all you can't refute that since we shouldn't argue religion in the science forum. Fifth of all don't these folks know the world is in economic collapse?

Or gator tail...or maybe cooter (that's a turtle for those unfortunate souls who don't understand Southern).

It was a great relief to know that... to know that science tries to solve philosophical issues! Laudable, guys!

But in this article said a chicken still the first. The first chicken laid an egg. Previous ones were dinosaurical...
