Chicken or the egg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The chicken or the egg causality dilemma is commonly stated as "which came first, the chicken or the egg?" To ancient philosophers, the question about the first chicken or egg also evoked the questions of how life and the universe in general began.[1]
Cultural references to the chicken and egg intend to point out the futility of identifying the first case of a circular cause and consequence. It could be considered that in this approach lies the most fundamental nature of the question. A literal answer is somewhat obvious, as egg-laying species predate the existence of chickens. However, the metaphorical view sets a metaphysical ground to the dilemma. To better understand its metaphorical meaning, the question could be reformulated as: "Which came first, X that can't come without Y, or Y that can't come without X?"
An equivalent situation arises in engineering and science known as circular reference, in which a parameter is required to calculate that parameter itself. Examples are Van der Waals equation and the famous Colebrook equation.

I saw an article about this not too long ago, and it said that (from what I recall) scientific evidence is saying that the chicken came first b/c there is some special chemical in the egg that could only come from the chicken or something like that

@ktheodos: That sorta makes sense but I'm sure something besides chickens laid eggs before chickens as we know them came to exist, so wouldn't that mean the egg came first?
