Except, if energy cannot be created nor destroyed, where did the chicken come from?
I beleive the egg came first because of the genetic mutations that have to occur in nature for new species to be produced. These mutations would have occured in the egg, and as such, the egg came first. This only holds true with the caveat that the previous generation of evolution (whatever laid the egg) isn't classed as a chicken.
Of course, the true answer is neither came first. The way evolution occurs over many millions of years means the line between the chicken/egg becomes blurred. Although, if you wanted to be really clever you could say neither; single cell organisms came first.
