Ah, the age old question, debated by many.

In this illustration by Briardo L. for Sketching Science, we
see this question from an evolutionary point of view.
It is accepted that birds evolved from dinosaurs, who laid
eggs. Therefore, from an evolutionary standpoint, it is safe to assume that the
egg came first.
If we look at the same question from a creationist
perspective, the answer is a bit different.
In the creation story in the Bible, God created Adam and Eve. We
assume that Adam and Eve were adults when they were created. I would also say
it’s safe to assume that all the animals were created as adults.
An adult chicken is a chicken, not an egg. Adam and Eve were
created as adults, not as foetuses or babies.
Therefore, from an evolutionary standpoint, the egg came
first. From a creationist standpoint, the chicken came first.
