so if we say that vegan omelette comes first it is like you say plants and any other non animal sources comes first which is reasonable
The egg as we know it appeared a long time ago, 350-320~ MYA. with the first amniote tetrapods.
It probably appeared way before animals ventured into land, but it had no hardened shell, similar to what frogs lay.

>"But then the debate would be about "who came first: dinosaurs or eggs?"."

When animals arrived to land, the egg developed the hardened carapace. There were no dinosaurs yet. Chickens are a subset of dinosaurs, dinosaurs are a subset of diapsids, diapsids are a subset of tetrapods. There were not even diapsids when the egg appeared.

There is no debate. It is a known fact. You only need to read.
I think the egg came first, but theoretically none came first, chickens are descendants of dinosaurs, as they resemble each other, so the answer is none, TREX CAME FIRST

Honestly think the same way but as he said, the chicken came first so he has a valid point (creator of the forum)

It’s crazy that there is no debate about events supposedly happening over 300 million years ago. I mean, how can we really know what happened accurately?

I mean, we have the eggs. And often the creature that was supposed to be born from them is also still inside, already formed. You just have to crack open the egg.

Do you really debate the existence of an egg that can be shown because it actually exist?

I mean, you cant tell how the troy battle happened without the Illiad, but you can tell that troy existed, you have the ruins.
Cant tell a lof of things of the past, but we know that there were eggs back in the day, we have the fossilized eggs.
