someone over it.
so why do so many people today willingly believe without question that supernatural forces must be & are responsible for anything that humans cannot formaly explain yet,
and decide that a draconian approach is an apropriate way to react based on their lack of understanding

Could you imagine a solar powered car? Since so many were hung up on the electrical TV issue. You have a valid point tho. I am willing to bet the car and it's driver would be killed. So many people hate what they don't understand and, unfortunatly, they do not have the intelligence to want to learn. It is just so much easier to praise God when things go right and blame the devil when they don't go right or they do not understand why somethings are different. And if it is different and you don't understand it it must be evil! Right?

I believe it was Arthur C. Clarke who said that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Remember Mark Twain's story of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court?
BTW, I have got to find that movie on DVD. It's a genuine classic.

If you took an LCD Tv or any kind of TV back 1000 years it wouldn't work. No electricity, no broadcast stations. So, No TV it would just be a funny box

Religious people are too impatient to wait for science to fill the gaps in our knowledge and rely on what "feels good".
If history had no atheists, I fear our knowledge of the universe would be far less than what it is today.

that would assume that there was an outlet to plug it into...
and explanations, understanding, and research take THOUGHT, and as we all know thinking is something a Christan is not suited to do...

How many TV stations did they have back then. (You didn't mention bringing along a VCR or DVD player!)
And you will plug it in WHERE!

How would you get it to turn on without electricity?
Seems a bit pointless to me.
