people on earth???

Question

have you ever thought about us (PEOPLE) on earth... the earth is about 4.6 Billion years old and we are really behind in technology (or we think we are... i dont know....with the government hidding so many things who knows) but its just weird for me that the earth is that old and an example about technology is that the plane and the car where invented about 100 so years ago. there must have been other things millions of years ago.... what do you think?

Answer 1

how can u say were behind when we have nothing to compare us too, soon computers will double in memory every minute until everything is moving so fast that humans will die because they cant keep up

Answer 2

I am not sure what your asking...Though the earth is that old....what we would recognize as humanoid and even modern man is roughly three million years old. Modern Man based in agriculture allowing for specialization in labor and development of arts and sciences has only been around for ten thousand years....so no...I am not surprised there is not more technology. I do agree the government may be hiding much in the way of advanced technology.

Answer 3

You touch on a remarkable point. But we people have not been here that long, just the planet. People are only here the smallest fraction of that time. For millions and millions of years it was only frogs and stuff. Now, as you said, in 500 years, which is five minutes, geological time, we have gone from virtually primitive people to jet aircraft, nuclear weapons and genetic engineering. It is called an exponential progress, and many people worry that our toys and tools are developing FAR faster than our wisdom to understand all their implications.

Answer 4

There may have been some technology previous to the flood that was lost. Man lived nearly 1000 years. One can learn a lot in that amount of time. Adam was created fully adult and his brain was fully programmed-think about it. Primitive people did thing that still baffle scientist today.
We don't know that the earth is 4.6 byo. That age is based on speculation with no way to test it. It is just a fantasy.

Answer 5

We're not behind. We are the result of everything that has come before and our hopes for what will come. No period has been without at least some progress, though some ages have been dominated by ignorance that dragged progress to a halt--even backward.

Answer 6

Yeah, a 100 years ago there was horses and camels and people who believed in magic.
