The chicken came first or the egg ? ... the science behind it !


I have always been bothered by this unanswered question since childhood - the chicken came first or the egg ??? Last week I applied some science to it & figured it for myself ... and the world ;-) ...
The egg came first.
Science behind this : For a chicken to develop, an egg is necessary. However, the same does not apply to an egg ! We learnt in basic science, about the history of evolution, the initial life forms were microorganisms (unicellular & then multicellular) that dwelt in water. Such forms kept developing, multiplying into different forms, adapting to various types of local ecosystems created on earth. Such a combination of life creating forms, or all the ingredients that exist in today's usual egg, must have gotten together into some protected / enclosed area (which is not necessary - the components just need to be together, under the right temperature, with enough air) & it gave birth to the first form of chicken. It might not be as developed a chick as we see today, however some preliminary form of chicken. Slowly, this developed into a modern chicken that is seen today.
Now, how much do you agree with that, lemme know through the blog comments.
