The wonder of science vs. the banality of creation

What does knowledge matter?You realize that you can just sit there and pray for a new invention, to make our current computers look like 4-function calculators, don't you?And how hard to you have to pray? Why, hard enough to produce the next generation of computers!But while you're busy, scientists will just go ahead and do it, and engineers with make it real, and Apple or Dell will make it cheap. And then you can have one--all because of the knowledge brought to you by science.Multiply this example by hundreds of thousands or millions. Start with stone tools and fire as early examples.(See Tagline)
