Screw the philosophy stuff.  The egg came first.

The chicken, through natural and artificial selection, evolved from
another kind of bird (jungle fowl, I believe).  Although impossible to
judge exactly which one it was, some bird was the first chicken.  This
bird hatched from an egg laid by a bird that was not a chicken.  This
egg preceded the first chicken.  Therefore, the egg came first.

Now, get back to work.
