    for those who say organized religion is on their "worst" lists, a little delving into history as to to importance of organized religion to the progress of civilization may change their tune, but thats another discussion

    the highest arts, science and literature in the formative periods of western society were either commissioned by or supported by organized religion

    people founded this country for the freedom from and of religion. for not organized religion, this world would be a dark place and most of the things on these lists may never have come to be

    The printing press at 1 would be on mine followed by the internet at 2. Both seemingly made the world a much smaller place and provided the masses with educational resources... If it weren't for the internet I'd have no access to my beloved phins. And yes, though not educational (well, maybe for some), they both also provide porn :chuckle:

    As for religion, the most loved, the most hated, the most debated, how could it not deserve a spot on the list? Love it or leave it, you can't deny it's influence over the centuries has been staggering.

    In no particular order :

    1. Electricity - Source of power for our everyday uses
    2. Internet - Almost unlimited resource for information of any kind
    3. Automobile - here to there reasonably fast
    4. Music ('Without music life would be a mistake - Nietzsche )
    5. Language - whatever yours may be, communication is very important
    6. Airplane - here to there even faster
    7. Camera - photo or video it enables us to remember the past
    8. Education - Something everybody can use to better themselves
    9. Telephone - Faster and easier way to communicate
    10. Fire - generates power, cooks food, heats your house, just to name a few

    Concrete's a good one that would have to bump the Phins from my list.

    The Roman Empire, including the Aquaduct, was built using concrete.
