The real question is not only which came first: the chicken or the egg, but rather what do you believe: that all things evolved or that God made everything. Recently Professor Mark Rodger and colleagues in England developed a recent scientific study and approved that chickens came before the egg.
Which Came First: the Chicken or the Egg?
The chicken or the egg causality dilemma is commonly stated as "which came first, the chicken or the egg?" To ancient philosophers, the question about the first chicken or egg also evoked the questions of how life and the universe in general began.Cultural references to the chicken and egg intend to point out the futility of identifying the first case of a circular cause and consequence. It could be considered that in this approach lies the most fundamental nature of the question. A literal answer is somewhat obvious, as egg-laying species predate the existence of chickens. However, the metaphorical view sets a metaphysical ground to the dilemma. To better understand its metaphorical meaning, the question could be reformulated as: "Which came first, X that can't come without Y, or Y that can't come without X?" (Cited from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_or_the_egg)
Which came first: the chicken or the egg? The possible answers for this are:
1.) The chicken
2.) The egg
Let’s tackle the egg theory first: The egg came first, if you use the thought process of evolution; some other type of animal had an egg, that just happen to produce a pre-chicken. Let's call this pre-chicken "Cro-Magnon Chicken". Cro-Magnon Chicken continued to reproduce more eggs and some eggs made chickens. Then of course this new chicken made more eggs which in turn made even more chickens. So in this instance the egg came first.
The second theory the chicken came first:If the chicken came first, then something must have made a chicken, in other words it was created as a chicken. Here's a quote from the Bible: Genesis 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. In the Bible it doesn’t say God made a bunch of eggs all over the Earth, it says, “...God created…every winged fowl after his kind…”. So not just one bird that they all evolved from. So in this case the chicken came first So the real question is not which came first the chicken or the egg, but rather what do you believe: that all things evolved or that God made everything.
Now that puts a whole new spin on things, no longer is it just some funny kids question that makes you ponder, but now it is a question of profound faith, that kind of question shakes us from top to bottom and in our very depths of our soul! So choose wisely which came first…
The chicken – God made life on Earth
The egg – We all evolved from something else.

Now scientists wielding a powerful supercomputer have cracked the mystery of which came first, the chicken or the egg. The short answer is the chicken. The long answer is contained in the analysis called Structural Control of Crystal Nuclei by Eggshell Protein by British scientists published in the current journal Angewandte Chemie. Volume 122 Issue 30 , Pages 5135 - 5325 (July 12, 2010).

Professor Mark Rodger and colleagues in England recently helped develop a recent study and approved that chickens came before the egg, answering an age old question. The researchers wrote in the published report that it all comes down to one protein - ovocledidin-17 - which helps in the formation of the egg's hard shell. This essential ingredient in the formation of the egg can only be produced inside a chicken, scientists from universities in Sheffield and Warwick concluded.

长期以来人们对“先有鸡还是先有蛋”的问题一直争论不休。根据英国《每日邮报》报导，最近在英国的科学家们利用电脑放大和生化技术，终于找出这个谜题的答案: 先有鸡，后有蛋。
科学家们发现，蛋壳的构成仰赖一种仅能在鸡的卵巢中找到的蛋白质，也就是说，必须先有鸡，蛋才可能存在。这个被称为ovocledidin-17（OC-17）的蛋白质是作为加速蛋壳发展的催化剂，硬壳保护蛋黄与蛋白，让鸡胚胎得以发育。科学家现在相信，在鸡蛋能够形成前，必须先有OC-17，而OC-17只能在鸡的卵巢中发现。
《每日邮报》报导说，英国雪菲尔与华威大学利用超级电脑放大了一枚鸡蛋的构造，结果发现OC-17在启动结晶化上至为关键，而结晶化是蛋壳形成的初步阶段，OC-17将碳酸钙转化为方解石晶体，而该晶体构成了蛋壳。方解石晶体可在许多骨骼与贝壳内发现，然而鸡形成方解石晶体的速度较其他物种快速，每二十四小时形成六克的壳。
有趣的是在此之前不少科学家偏信是先有蛋，再有鸡。因为很多学者是从“演化论”的角度来推断，他们认为应该是有两种类似鸡的物种杂交，生出的蛋成为史上第一鸡，因此是先有蛋，再有鸡。
然而现在有科学证据证明事实上是鸡先於蛋。诚如圣经所说的：「神说:“地要生出活物来,各从其类; 牲畜、昆虫、野兽,各从其类。”事就这样成了。 于是神造出野兽,各从其类; 牲畜,各从其类;地上一切昆虫,各从其类。 神看着是好的。（创世纪1:24-25）
