in reply to Which came first?

The question is wrong - there's no first in neither chicken nor egg. Chicken and egg are one: that's first.

      In the "chicken - egg" question, it is clear that the egg is a chicken egg; and you can apply that concept to any other egging creature, to wit: "which came first, the turtle or the egg?", etc - same question, same answer.
