No question we have been here a long time. I have brought this up before and I have had some interesting replies ( not in this forum ). One reply I get a lot is, if we were dropped off at some point why are we more technically advanced?...My answer to that is....what if we dropped some poeple off on Mars with nothing but shelter food and basic knowledge of farming & survival skills. ( yes you cannot live on Mars without a suit, but assume you could). The people there would "Know" what a computer, microwave, car, plane, & nuclear power was but, without tools and the specific knowledge they could not produce it. They would concentrate on the present and how to stay alive. Now fast forward only 200 yrs and a few generations and whala....stories of what was once first hand knowledge is now Myth......add another 100 yrs and those stories get diluted even more. Until 5000 years later they expierence a 100 year leap in knowledge and you have.........well, what we have..........!!!
