Someone said:
While man's technology has improved over time, along with his medicine and dentistry, biologically he is pretty much the same as God made him.
As I said in my other post, I wouldn't even necessarily grant man that much advancement.
Medicine-wise, our technology only serves to heal the damage done by OTHER technology.
If we didn't have high-stress lifestyles, cell phones, TVs, etc. we wouldn't need heart-bypass surgery, etc.
The ancients were lacking some knowledge we have now, to be sure, but they also knew a lot of things that we have forgotten (e.g., how to deliver a baby!)
Only midwives seem to have kept SOME of the art alive -- mainstream OBs jump to a C-section very quickly, with the result that the "C-section" is the most popular operation in the U.S.A., and
1 out of every 3 births is through this major surgery!
That wasn't the case two hundred years ago. "Simple" midwives knew all the tricks to deliver a baby.
Just one example.
