And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Sex. It's been solely responsible for perpetuating the entire human race.
Good point.
Becareful Mr Perfect now days Sex doesn't have to be between Man and a Women.
sure it does. Anything else is perversion.

Good point.
And the pursuit of it has inspired much creativity.

If we throw the rules out the window, the Big Bang was undoubtedly the single most significant event that we can comprehend.

But between a man and a woman is the only type that perpetuates the human race.
Pretty sure that fire, sex and the wheel all existed before RECORDED history.

You're making a lot of assumptions in that post.

throw the big bang in there too.
I still don't believe that one....[;)]

OK, for the sake of the discussion, lets assume that fire, sex, the wheel and agriculture existed before recorded history,
throw the big bang in there too.

Then obviously, the answer is beer.

Hmm. Then who was the 1st male to get some? and when was the 1st fire kindled? What was the 1st wheel used for? I am ASSUMING that nobody knows, because they happened before recorded history. As far as the Big Bang, I already offered up Jesus as the most significant RECORDED event, so I thought both camps would be happy.
The written word, you couldn't have recorded history without it.[:D]
...or in terms of the Leftists, re-written.

Some one will be along shortly to muck it up. [;)]
When I first started travelling to India, there were still many villages where information could not be transferred (into or out of) faster than a man could move, be it by bicycle, motor car, etc.
Now these same villages are connected via cellular communication. The difference, in less than one generation, is staggering.
That, and the mojito.

We shouldn't forget the mojito.

Clearly that invention was prior to recorded history, and doesn't count.
