Technology was and is essential for survival, the bible is not.

I'm not sure that statement is totally correct. I agree that most people survive without the Bible. I would argue that it is a meaningless life without it, but that is only my opinion, not the topic here.
Technology could have never always been a 'was' as you state. Like you said we used to get eaten by bigger species. If technology always 'was' then according to your logic we would have never been in that position. There had to be a specific start to 'technology' just as there had to be a specific start to all things.
Originally posted by boonon Ok, I guess. How then did we survive as a species if we didnt have science or technology as you assert, being only a food source for larger carnivores?
You did state before that we could not survive without either science or technology. How then did we escape from only being a meal for something larger? Who/what gave man science and technology?
We hid in trees and ran away. Enough of our ancestors survived to continue our line along with other prey species. In fact the study of genealogy showed that on a number of occasions our line nearly became extinct. The use of tools confers a survival advantage on the user and is certainly not exclusive to man,chimpanzees regularly use rocks ,twigs and branches as tools.We were lucky.

One of those occasions was the Worldwide flood during Noah's time. 😏

You realise that your throwaway comment is offensive to non-Christians?
How arrogant for you to claim that 66% of the world's population have a
meaningless life! In fact not only arrogant but stupid too.

I guess you missed the part where I said that it was my opinion. My opinion is not arrogant or stupid, it is merely MY opinion. So because you disagree with it you believe that you can label me arrogant, stupid and offensive.
If I agreed with you I suppose I would not be offensive , arrogant or stupid? Really, who is the arrogant one here?
Originally posted by wolfgang59 Only one of us needs god ... and you say its me?
That logically means you do not need god.
Congratulations!!!
You have seen the light.
With the money you save from the congregation box buy a science book.
Since you are not very sharp, I should have made it more clear that you may need a god, but I already have the Holy Spirit. You probably will not understand this either.

HalleluYah !!! Praise the Lord! Holy! Holy! Holy!
Let me translate this for you wolfie:
You are thick
I should talk down to you more about stuff you don't care about

I posted that only one of us needed god.
You replied that was me.
Seems clear to me.
Try reading your posts back to yourself ... slowly

You air an opinion on a forum in which you state that 2/3 of the planet live
meaningless lives and you think that should not offend the 2/3 because it is
"merely" your opinion!
Whenever anyone insults another it is alwaysmerely their opinion.
And its not because I disagree with you that I can label you as arrogant, stupid and offensive, it is because you have demonstrated you are.
