What is the most significant event in the history of mankind
- Thread starter Trey of Diamonds

Advent 30 days then 1 day celebration for Christmas.
Lent 40 days then 1 week celebration up to Easter.
No, Really Easter is the most important event in chirstianity. I wonder who this guy even is.
The most significant event in the history of mankind is the taming of fire. Without being able to control energy we would have never amounted to anything.

Political motivation was a huge factor, but I'd say leaving the planet and visiting a heavenly body in person was a gigantic scientific achievement. One giant leap for mankind, eh?
Agriculture probably began before written language...but then again I'm just guessing.

"Agriculture probably began before written language"
That's the general belief. Agriculture is one of humankind earliest inventions, and is believed to been discovered by accident. Nomadic tribes finding seeds they left behind, by accident or for food storage, growing as they circled back to previous camps. They eventually connected the dots, and begin to plant seeds by poking a hole in the ground with a pointed stick. Staying in one place growing food may it easier to live, less people died of starvation. This lifestyle also led to the herding of goats. (if I am remembering my reading right)
So maybe the pointed stick was the more significant invention, not only did it work as a framing tool it was also used for hunting and defense.

Bacon can only be made from one type of meat: Pork! Everything else is wannabee bacon.

Yes, of course, the most monumentally important event in the entire history of mankind will be when 'atheists and other non-believers find out how wrong they were." Sure. 'Cause let's face it, that's what Jesus Christ was all about, right? Proving atheists wrong.
For the purposes of asking a sincere question, I am going to assume that the Christian notion of God and salvation are true for a moment.
If Jesus Christ really was the son of God, and he really did come to Earth in the form of man to enlighten us with divine truth and demonstrations of Godly love, and if he really lived a perfect life without sin or transgressions against mortals or God, and if he then allowed himself to be tortured and killed in sacrificial atonement as prophesized in the Old Testament, and if his sacrifice really does provide all of mankind the opportunity to attain the salvation and grace that was taken from us when Adam ate from the Tree of Knowledge, and if Christ is the raised, living God who will one day return to this material realm to call his flock home and restore to his faithful the eternal life that they've been promised, if this is TRUE, do you really think the most important event in the history of mankind will be 'proving atheists and other nonbelievers wrong'?
Is that really what you find most relevant and meaningful in the whole scheme of things? Is that what Christianity is all about in your mind, being right and proving others wrong?
I don't think there is one. I don't think a single event can be singled out as the most important.
It could be that the most tiny, unknown event led to the most results. For instance, the most important event could be when a human made the first tool. Or it could be when someone unknown to modern historians influenced somebody who eventually did massive things.
But until then, we're right.

And grilled cheese!
Because scripture affects so many voters, legislators, cops, judges, etc,
who, in turn, affect us. And also, it's fun!

Well, I'm not sure if I really qualify to answer this question, as I'm not exactly an atheist. But then again, I don't believe the Bible to be the infallible word of God, so I figure I'm covered by this one.
The reason I like to debate these matters is because Biblically-inspired 'Christians' are the most unwanted intrusion into my personal life. People using the Bible as an "Authoritative" instrument try to alter school curriculums in ways I believe to be detrimental to our youth's education; they also would like to outlaw a woman's right to elect certain medical procedures based on Biblically-inspired notions of when life begins; these same people attempt to employ their religiously-framed politics as a blunt mechanism for forcibly restricting certain types of medical research; and most importantly right here closer to home, religious practitioners who are not satisfied with a 'live-and-let-live' approach to life have made it impossible for me to purchase wine at a package store on Sundays because such retail establishments offend them and their religious sensibilities personally. I happen to believe that 'faith-based' beliefs formed without any reasonable evidence, especially those that seek to press their influence on others, have been some of the most toxic ideas to infect mankind.
Plus, debating is just crazy fun.

That reminds of living in Baltimore, MD in the 70s....blue laws made it illegal for all but the smallest stores to open on Sundays.
