Answering "Which Came First: The Chicken or The Egg?"

Since the dawn of chickens people have been asking "What came first, the chicken or the egg?" and this is supposedly a very philosophical, difficult question to answer. I think the answer is fairly obvious, of course the egg was around way before the chicken. Eggs have existed since the dawn of animals. Chickens have only existed for like a million years, roughly. Dinosaurs laid eggs way before chickens were even a glimmer in your father's balls. So the concept and invention of eggs came far before chickens. Now if you're asking "What came first, the chicken or the chicken egg?" Well then that's a little more complicated, but that wasn't the question was it. The lesson here is start phrasing things more specifically.
