The wonder of science vs. the banality of creation

I assure you, I didn't read it with one.Obsidian blades can be extremely sharp, but to manufacture them to a standard that make them "worked better that [sic] steel tools of the present" is not feasible. Do you have examples of stone tools working better then modern steel ones? Oh, sure, a bit of obsidian might work better than the little, plastic sheathed scissors the orderlies allows you to cut the yarn and construction paper with for your macaroni projects, but not real, steel tools. Someone is selling you an inferior bill of goods; your comment is a Luddite fairy tail.I've read every one of the 54 posts you've made to this forum to date. Not once have you made a point that is anywhere close to the equal in beauty of any of a dozen of things I've read in the April 2008 Scientific American I'm reading today. (While Straggle has several times in his last few posts, so it can be done.)If the greatest wonder you get out of this world are based on willful ignorance of the workings of this world maybe you should work harder on getting a pair of real scissors.

Agreed, that's why I put the sharpness of obsidian blades on the table. For sky to extrapolate knapped obsidian being much sharper then hone steel as the generalized, and silly, "Stone tools of the past worked better that steel tools of the present." is absurd. It's unlikely Homo heidelbergensis could do a
"better" job debriding nerve endings or somesuch with obsidian blades then modern neurosurgeons could do with a popsicle stick sharpened on a sidewalk. When he can do something a little less specialized to find his "better", like cutting down trees or getting marrow out of a bone, he'll have an argument instead of a dodge.Edited by lyx2no, : Lost the end of a sentence somewhere.

If knowledge is what I get I'll be sure to be less cautious in the future.Now fell a tree with it.
