Easter, the pagan festival of the spring equinox, celebrating rebirth and stuff and named after the goddess of fertility oestra, isn't really about Jesus. Which makes the eggs and bunny rabbits a bit easier to understand.
It just got adapted when the Roman Empire converted to Christianity, a bit like Christmas which is part remodelled Winter Solstice, part wholesale theft of the festival celebrating the birth of Mithras. Mithras being a Persian diety adopted by a large part of the Roman military.

With our defence even I could probably score from the Don Rogers.

Er..... the egg. I've never understood why people foudnthis question difficult to answer. Dinosaurs laid eggs ffs, obviously there were eggs before chickens. And the first chicken hatched from the egg of a bird very like a chicken which hatched from the egg of a bird a bit less like a chicken ..... blah blah blah. Unless you're some mental creationist in which case obviously God made them all at the same time in a very tight 6 day design and construction period. Which itself poses the questions: Why six days, you're omnipotent you could have whipped that lot up in an instant? What exactly does an omnipotent, omnipresent being do on his "day off"? Go down the pub? No he was there all week 'cause he's everywhere all the time. Read a book? No he knows everything in all the books that will ever be written already. |

We're not talking eggs in general, they asking what came first the chicken or the chicken's egg.

Depends how you define a chickens egg. Is it an egg laid by a chicken or an egg from which a chicken is hatched? If it's the former then the chicken came first, the latter, then the egg came first, as the first chicken hatched from an egg laid by a bird that was the immediate ancestor of the chicken without actually being a chicken. It's evolution like. |

Ooh, now don't you go starting on with your godless evolution nonsense. God created chickens and eggs on the same day 4004 years ago by smiting the Ishmaelites with the jawbone of an ass. Everyone knows that. |

I think that's the whole point of the question - which is it? |
