Is there anything new under the sun?

Question

most of what we call discovery or new inventions are not really new. They are just new applications of existing knowledge or technology. Machines are not new. They have gotten smaller, and now there are machines that use electricity. But electricity was known to by the earliest civilization (they just had no use for it). the bible says man was made of clay. Two thousand years later man finally discovers that DNA is a clay like substance.

Answer 1

There may not be anything truly new but there are always new discoveries. Our abilities to discover things continues to improve with technological advances.

Answer 2

Pluto and the other new planets that we did not know was there, like you said these things were always there it is just that we are just now finding them out.

I wonder what is in the back of the Sun not under. Everybody wonder what is new under the Sun we never ever looked behind.

Answer 3

Yes, each person that is born into the world is new under the sun. There is no one on earth just like you, you are unique. There has never been another person born who is just like you, and, there will never be another person born into the world who is just like you.

Answer 4

Answer 5

So what, exactly, is your question?
It looks to me as if you've answered
it. No, technically, nothing is really
"new under the sun." It's just one of
those age-old expressions. (Like...
for example, "Once in a blue moon.")

Answer 6

Maybe there is nothing really new. Just new 'focuses' (on things that were always present, to varying degrees) - such as secularism and materialism.

Answer 7

Every second or so there's a "new" little human life.

Answer 8
