Nah, humans didn’t do that alone…..
Several scientists have said that about AI.
Do yourself a favor and read Daniel 12:4.
I would submit an alternate hypothesis....
Let’s say the Manhattan Project never ended and continued as a government sponsored research project to develop new energy/military technology.
Let’s say they quickly discovered civilization altering technology.
Let’s say the powers that control the economy and the government, the energy industry, military industrial complex, banking industry, etc... would be negatively impacted by the disclosure of the new technology as it would destroy their levers of control.
How could you get the scientists and researchers to continue developing the tech while convincing them that it could never be disclosed to the public?....
You could tell them it is “alien technology” and to disclose the existence of aliens would cause “mass hysteria” and “societal breakdown”.
It is our technology and it is being hidden from us because our government hates us and doesn’t care about our well being.
Something happened...
I tend to agree as I believe we are at the threshold of something bigger to happen. Humans have been struggling along for thousands of years until about two hundred or perhaps a little more, things started to happen all of a sudden. We may want to keep in mind that within the scope of time as well as history, one hundred years isn’t even a blink of an eye.
A little over one hundred years ago we couldn’t even get off the ground and all of a sudden we send off a space probe which is already outside of our solar system, and we have the technology to communicate with such a space probe whose transmitter from what I have read has approximately the power of a twenty-five watt light bulb. Not to mention that each transmission takes about twenty-four hours. In other words we send a command which takes 24 hours and then we have to wait for another 24 hours to find out the results. Just to e able to receive such an incredible minute signal is an unbelievable achievement in itself.
Yes I am well aware of the old argument that one discovery begets another, in other words like an avalanche effect up to a point this may be true, yet it still doesn’t explain many things which have happened and took place more recently. In the past we have had many highly intelligent people but for some reason most of great advances and discoveries happened within more or less within the past 200 years or so what made me believe not all the things we see today are home grown and some other force, so to speak of has their fingers in it.
Most people don’ realize it, see it or take it for granted but we already live far in the future in regards to technology but unfortunately spiritually most of us still live in the dark ages as we still try to kill each other and unless someone steps in with the wherewithal and stops this insanity it could very well happ
