denlin Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 The same thing can be said about science - I would hazard a guess that in the last 100 years, more people have died as the result of scientific inventions than as a result of religion ever. you have a point with 2 world wars but I think your figures are a bit out. Almost every other conflict had something to do with religion and the one in Northern Ireland lasted - on and off - for 400 years, then there was the 100 years war, the conflicts in the middle east etc etc. We were mudering each other and blaming a mythical being Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manofstrad Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Today we celebrate the birth of a kind, thoughtful, humble man who's influence on all of humanity was so great that we're all still living by his words and teachings today.

If we were limited to throwing rocks and punches, or hitting each other with sticks rather than shooting them or blowing them up with high explosive, the figure would be far far lower. I don't remember where I read it, but it was in a fictional book (possibly Douglas Adams), where they described science as being "the search for ever more efficient methods of blowing each other up".

RootsBooster Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Lol ! And we must remember, all knowledge is from God By "remember" do you mean that at some point we have "known" this before? if so, how?
