Until, of course, a drought comes along and their food supplies dwindle. Then they spend ALL day looking for food and die of starvation.
And if their kids break a limb while playing, they have about a 50% chance of watching them die of infection.
So, yes, they ARE primitive and our advanced civilization IS better. Originally Posted by ExNYer
I agree. I was just making the point that everything is a blessing and curse at the same time. Advanced civilization has certainly made our lives better in countless ways, but at the same time, there's a lot stress that goes along with it.

Way of life is really a personal preference. Just because exNYer does not want to live a simple life does not equate to everybody. One is not better than the other. Like I said , it is just personal preference. Originally Posted by WTF

Hmmm but I guess it was just was a small step from the Wright brothers flying a plane to man building a shuttle that can reach space?? Originally Posted by wellendowed1911No, it was a big step. But BOTH events occurred in the modern era when we already had mass communication, industrialization and money to spend on research.
I love some of the arguments here...You'd do well to remember that for several millennium science and religion were inseparable and the same, and that what you today call “incontrovertible scientific fact” may be as derisively dismissed in the distant future much as the “science” of phrenology of the 19th century is scoffed at today.
"Science can't explain everything! No one can explain to me how blahblahblah happens so it MUST be GOD!"
That's the beauty of science. Reasoning & research... conclusions are NOT drawn out of pages out of a book designed for social control. Originally Posted by forumguy456987

I actually agree with your statement. I'm not siding with any "scientific fact" in particular here. Merely that simply basing things so complex and its "creation", to a book designed to control behavior is insane. And the ignorance of the people that say "well, I can't understand it, so GOD must have put it here...it's too complicated for ANY other explanation to be true."
