X, I don't disagree with anything you say. I think I was more particularly trying to discuss two things: 1. That knowledge has not developed in a straight line, but has been lost and found and lost again in many civilizations. 2. That earthlings may have advanced their scientific, technical knowledge without the parallel evolution in wisdom, ethics and common sense which would ensure that it is mostly beneficial. I guess it would be best to view my post as an answer to Bob's, in which he believed that our increase in knowledge is a sign that the Second Coming is about to happen. I think it is much more complex than that, particularly because vast areas of the earth still live in primitive conditions, and also because we may be closer to a new dark ages rather than an enlightenment, because man's basic instincts and more primitive behaviors have not evolved at the same rate as our scientific discoveries.
