This "dilemma" only applies to creationists. It's obvious that the chicken evolved from other animals. In fact, dinosaurs (from whom birds are though to have evolved from) already layed eggs millions of years before chickens existed.

"But the researchers have not yet got an answer to how the protein-producing chicken existed in the first place." They just had to throw that in there. lol I still hold that through genetic mutation and using the theory of natural selection as the framework, the egg must have come first. Think about it: something close to a chicken lays an egg and that egg has enough genetic deformities and beneficial characteristics to produce more offspring than the rest of its brethren. Therefore the egg of what we call "a chicken" (I use quotation marks because I don't think any specific genetic coding down to the letter exists to classify a chicken as a chicken so we're arguing pedantically a little bit here) must have been first. I've solved science.

Still doesn't explain where life originated from.
No, it doesn't. But that's not what we are discussing here now is it?

Still feel like it is somewhat related to this discussion.

Theories about the appearance of life have almost nothing to do with evolution.
That being said, I'm betting when life first appeared there were no eggs and no chickens. Therefore it has nothing to do with the current discussion. Which shouldn't even be a discussion anyway.
*facepalm at analysis* The writer doesn't seem to have noticed that all eggs have shells and all birds and reptiles can lay eggs not just chickens. The first chicken egg was laid by another bird similar to a chicken.
