Grayout: "No bashing. Just context. Before you elaborated, you gave the impression the 'Christians' were responsible for most human discovery. You didn't even acknowledge the Greeks until you were pushed. You haven't acknowledge the Romans yet or any other culture for that matter."
Comparing the US with Rome and Greece. I admit that the phalanx was brilliant. But it was still men running around with long, pointy sticks. Romans were clever as well. Once again, long, pointy sticks, along with shorter ones. That was followed by the Dark Ages. More long, pointy sticks. And finally! Someone figures out how to make a decent sturrup.
I dunno. Man on the moon. Probes to Pluto. This internet we are using. Telephones. Radio. TV. Burnable CDs. DVDs. BVDs. Airplanes. Printing machines in many homes. Super colliders. Cloning. Microwave ovens for $30. Even telemarketers.
