who came first?

The chicken came first!

Since it says "egg" and not "chicken egg". It is obvious the egg came first since many other animals have used eggs to reproduce long before chickens were around.

That seems the most reasonable deduction and the same reasoning applies to a precurser dinosaur egg however, it does account for chicken origins.  Inherently, this begs the question of where dinosaurs came from, (the inference is eggs, from other critters), and so on recursively.  At some point, its back to single-celled critters and primodial ooze.

How can that be? God created birds and fish before he created the other animals. It doesn't make sense that there would be other animals laying eggs before that.

That is a myth coupled with creationist pseudoscience.

If you didn't have a chicken or something like a chicken first.... How did u get the egg?

You had something like a chicken, (theropod dinosaurs), that laid eggs in a radioactive environment which caused mutations.  Of course, this begs the next question of which came first - the dino or the dino egg?  And that takes us back to primodial slime, (biological 'soup').  Where'd the soup come from, you may wonder?  Odds are it wasn't from a deital 'grandma' but, from meteoric impacts which carried the dormant cellular components.  Now, as for where these dormant cellular components came from ...

For those of you who believe in the evolution of animals, doesn't it take more faith to believe that everything could "just happen" then to believe that there is Someone Who is in charge of everything and powerful enough to create everything that exists?

Having or, not having "faith" has no bearing on evolutionary, (or emergent phenomenon), theories.  They either account for observed processes or, they do not.  Your implication being that "faith", (a supposition lacking supportive evidence), in a theoretical deity is equivalent to theories which have at least _some_ supporting evidence.  This is a false dichotomy/comparison since "faith" isn't an integral aspect of emergent or evolutionary theories while it is critical to a deital theory.

Finally, thats an answer I can understand 

[abdyer2001]

what came first the chicken or the egg ?. amazing how a simple question can come right back to being a god debate.

[depate99]

Neither.

[willisbruskie1985]

hmm.... why did the chicken cross the road?

[falcon9]

Neither.

Ah, the implicit immaculate conception of chickens theory ... an oldie but, a goodie?
