Big bang theorists: The whole Universe was in a dense, compacted state and then suddenly began expanding and is still expanding. Oh, and somewhere in there chickens and eggs appeared (although not necessarily in that order)
Evolutionists: Dinosaurs crawled out of primordial ooze and were turned into chickens with some sort of insofar indeterminable link between the two.
Hegel: Chickens and eggs only exist in actual reality if they exist both in the mind and in the world.
Hesiod: Both chickens and eggs emerged from primordial chaos.
Judeo/Christian/Islamic: God waved His magic wand and said "Let there be egg!" and then from the rib of the egg created the chicken.
Scientology: Aliens sent tortured spirits here; some of which became chickens.
Buddhist: It doesn't really matter because it's in the past and doesn't so much benefit the present state of the existence of chickens or eggs as to justify the research needed to speculate on it.
Vedic: One God or all of the gods made The Universe out of another god or the same One God and evolution may or may not have happened, resulting in a sacred cow. The rest is shrouded in mystery by our pathetic day-to-day lives.
Actuality: probably something wholly implausible which, if physically witnessed, would be explained in different fashions by each different religious train of thought.
I found part of this in a yellow half-sheet notebook and expanded upon it.
