I read in some science magazine that the egg came first but I can't remember the reason why. Gotta search for that mag again...
Quote
"It seems scientists and philosophers now agree which came first. The Egg. From the CNN article: 'Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal's life. Therefore the first bird that evolved into what we would call a chicken, probably in prehistoric times, must have first existed as an embryo inside an egg. Professor John Brookfield, a specialist in evolutionary genetics at the University of Nottingham, told the UK Press Association the pecking order was clear.'

I think the meaning behind this question is "it came before the egg or the organism whichever animal is it".
And the evolutionist answer is the egg not the chicken. Evolution is a very slow process, the only "full chicken" could have been come from an egg.

It's something that can only be hypothesized about, it's a methaphysical question. So, I don't really think answering one of them will solve the paradox. It's like tossing a coin and then try to justify why we get one or another.
Well, trying to find an answer might be fun and educative, but I think the question should be questioned as well.

Don't care. Both of them taste good fried.
The egg did, I say.

This is not a philosophical question. It's a matter of poor definitions. Obviously if it's just the chicken or the egg then dinosaur eggs came first. If it's Chicken vs Chicken egg then you have to define a chicken egg properly.
The real question is what is a chicken egg? Is it an egg produced by a chicken? or is it an egg which produces a chicken?
This choice is rather arbitrary. The question is rather stupid. It's the exact same problem as the tree falling in the woods. Whether or not it makes a sound depends on how you define a sound.
People are wasting their time asking the wrong questions.

I agree with you gigazephyr.
If I had to choose an answer, scientifically or phisophically, I will choose the egg.
