I couldn't disagree more....

If these "pompous blowhards" hadn't been about we wouldn't have had electricity in the way we do today, we wouldnt have microwaves, computers, phones, mobile phones, CD's, DVD's, TV's and the standard of cars we have today, we wouldnt be exploring space, we wouldnt know how to build buildings and structures the way we do, we wouldnt't be able to work out stuff with projectiles and collisions, we wouldnt have nuclear power stations.... And we wouldnt be working to the big questions - Why are we here, how do we exists and where will the future lead us.

I could go on forever but i don't think thats neccessary

We are here because the great generals and military men of the past who killed, maimed, butchered and bloodied their way into a new future in the name of what ever empire they represented.

Hell, Saddam Hussein is surely one of the genii of the last century - along with Stalin, Pol Pot, Hitler and Idi Amin Dada must rank up there - I am imagining that Osama Bin Laden must be on route to geniusness at the moment as well...

Are you trying to say that human genius created the universeand man?

If so you have yourself fallen into the trap of genius-worship...

i would have to say that it would be "your mom"

[Vansquish]

Such a clever retort, got any more from whence that came? I mean, we could go on to the "your mom's so fat" jokes, but I don't see how that would further the discussion.

well it was the best i could do at the time

If I were to pick one genius, it would have to be Isaac Newton.

The man virtually altered the way the human mind works, meaning that Newton is the most important contributor to the creation of modern science. Keep in mind that his accomplishments were made in the 17th, early 18th century. :shock:
