    A little one-celled, self-replicating critter came first and look at the mess it became after several billion years of adapting and evolving.

    the parents

    - can't have babies without parents

    If you draw a family tree of human evolution the babies would be down the bottom, the parents would be just above, and, an enormously distance away at the very top, a single 'parent'.

    You already know the creationist answer.

    The real answer is that we evolved from asexual reproduction to reproduction involving two separate instances of a species with independent DNA. So the first instance of that reproduction had to be done with parents that were older than the child, therefore they came first

    i think the answer is baby,

    becoz the parents must be baby first before they become adult and be a parents.
