How was the chicken made?

    On topic, maybe you should consider how you would make a chicken (and possibly more important...why)

    Unlike creating, making is possible for us.
    Making stuff basically requires the applying of knowledge in the world.

    To make a chicken all you have to do is mate a rooster with a hen, because we know that is a possible way of producing chicken.

    The chicken came from some sort of pseudo-reptile. After enough adapting and evolving, these animals bred and the first chicken (as we know them) was born from an egg.

    So the egg came first, because the first chicken could not have been born without an egg.

    The question is as silly as asking "which came first, the fetus or the human?" The human could not have existed if it wasn't a fetus (inside a different creature, no less) first. That's just how evolution works.

    It's impossible to say what comes first, when talking about Evolution. The chicken is there, does it matter how it was made?

    I don't mind, I'd eat it anyway. Food is food anyway, it doesn't matter where it comes from. If everything was like that humans would be too fussy and nothing would ever get done because 'we don't like where it came from' or 'we don't like how it came to be' I'm not disagreeing with you, or being hostile, just stating my view. :)

    It has been recently discovered (and i kid you not), the chicken has similar DNA to that found from a T-Rex. So there you have it, chickens came from the the biggest and most badass predator!

    I will post again later with a source if you really want proof.

    not-quite-chicken mommy and not-quite-chicken daddy loved each other verrry much. Unfortunately not-quite-chicken mommy and not-quite-chicken daddy were brother and sister, and when they consummated their marriage they gave birth to chicken who was ugly and strange. Chicken, however was better at catching worms and soon all the not-quite-chickens wanted to jump him, this lead to the birth of more and more chickens until there were no not-quite-chickens left.

    no, not simple! where did the egg come from?... a chicken, and where did the chicken come from?... an egg, but where did the egg come from?... a chicken and where did the chicken come from?... an egg, but where did the egg come from?... a chicken, and where did the chicken come from?... an egg, but where did the egg come from?... a chicken and where did the chicken come from?... an egg, but where did the egg come from?... a chicken, and where did the chicken come from?... an egg, but where did the egg come from?... a chicken and where did the chicken come from?... an egg, but where did the egg come from?... a chicken, and where did the chicken come from?... an egg, but where did the egg come from?... a chicken and where did the chicken come from?... an egg, but where did the egg come from?... a chicken.

    Lets put it like this, the rooster came first :) LOL

    Science is not a faith-based field of study. The theory of evolution is a well-educated hypothesis with quite a bit of supporting evidence. Within that, there is logic.

    Using simple logic, something that was a transitional species between bird and reptile had to give birth to the first chicken. Humans, also, did not just pop out of nowhere. The first human was born from Homo heidelbergensis. Then the first human mated and since its genes were stronger, humans began increasing in population.

    You could call hybriding plants and breeding animals for desirable genes a form of evolution, too. It starts with a species different enough to give birth to different offspring.

    You're right though... it doesn't really matter since we have chickens now. But we use the knowledge we have of evolution to influence changes in other animals to suit our desires. Not exactly what I'd call moral, but hey... the information's useful. It may help us evolve physically some day.
