Little Rik Wrote:2) If i make statistic is in relation to your distorted view that technologies take the human race outside the sewerMade-up statistics to support made-up claims does not make either of them true. The world as it is today would not be possible without technology. We would be small nomadic groups scraping for survival every day and with lifespans in the 20s or 30s. That might still be the case in some corners of the world, but most people live a much better life. Your unwillingness to accept reality does not alter reality.
and into a better future.
Little Rik Wrote:Ton, superstitions have some weight into keeping human race in the sewer.Yes, superstition is one of the mental crutches that people need to shake off in order to live better. Again, it is one of those quirks that religion and similar thinking help to keep alive, through the idea that there's something more out there than what we can detect. Time and again, what we find is that if we eliminate that sort of backwards thinking, progress arrives more quickly.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
