God created earth 15.000 years ago is what they keep thinking. But what happens when they get seriously ill? Do they go to their church to pray and ask God to cure them, or do they go to a hospital where people are being treated based on modern science?  |
This is the problem when some men decide to control the rest with a mythical being. They simply want control and money, the base of all religions and power.

I like Paul as a person, he's allright, I just don't always agree with him about professional matters even though our backgrounds are a bit similar - old school producers from the pre-web years.
People who continue to bash him do have issues with themselves.

Ban this person for saying this.

The first big step in cultivation was farming. When people started to grow their own vegetables and breed their own animals, they had less reasons for having to move around all the time so they started to convert large pieces of forests into farming land, using the wood for building houses and for heating and cooking. They started to live in villages instead of tents and with that, the battles came; communities expanding their territory and taking the communities around them. I don't think this contributed to the destruction of the planet much as much as machines, trains and cars but cutting all the forests was a start of course. Europe once was one huge forest, now most forests are gone and we expect south-American and Asian countries to stop with the de-foresting.

And had the need and time to invent writing. See how it's all related?
When you're family is starving, you really stop caring about the rain forest and endangered species. If the advanced world want to save these things, they have to pay the undeveloped world to look after them and not destroy them.
