Why horses were used for riding just few thousands of years ago ?
- Thread starter FearGod
- Start date
Why did modern humans spend over 100,000 years without horses, agriculture, civilization, writing, etc.? Was it due to evolution or did a creator plan to have the human race live on the brink of extinction?

They did indeed extinct and better new ones evolved.
Humans in some form have existed for 4.5 million years. We (modern humans) have been around for roughly 150,000 years. So no, there was no extinction.
It's because someone decided "Hey! Not only are these better beasts of burden then Donkey's, but they're faster too!". No science. Just common sense. if you want the science, look into the process of domestication (It takes many generations) if you are truly interested, which I don't think you are.

Are you saying that the common ancestor of humans and monkeys didn't extinct.

And that someone had appeared after hundreds of thousands of years to think about it
No. I am saying that we (Homo sapiens sapiens) have existed for ~150,000 years. You ask whether some creator planned for us to use horses a mere few thousand years ago while for tens of thousands of years we barely survived. If our use of horses means anything, it is that whatever designer intended us to use them wanted us to be without them several thousand times as long as we have had them and for most of our existence. In fact, that creator wanted us a vulnerable as possible (using your logic).

My logic says that things need time to be better than how it was before.
For example humans didn't invent computers in one day night to make life better.
So "God" designed the universe to take over 100,000 years for us to be able to do things as basic as domesticate cattle?
Turing invented computers before any existed.

And it took us more than 200,000 years to think and invent computers
Do you mean he didn't need math and electricity which was already existed for inventing a simple computing machine ?
Computers weren't invented in one day night and weren't as complex as today.
Do you understand logic in different way ?![/QUOTE]
Modern humans weren't around then. However, you seem to think it significant that after 100,000 years "God" enabled us to domesticate horses. You ignore the vast majority of our existence.
Mathematics, contrary to popular belief, is largely a human construction. If you wish you to demonstrate I am incorrect here. simply indicate which integral should be considered the integral of integration.
Before any computer existed the equivalent existed in equivalent complexity via Turing.
Than what? And which logic? Propositional? Predicate? Fuzzy? Many-valued? Modal? Quantum? Algebraic?

And way before that, the Greeks invented the Antikythera mechanism...
"an ancient analog computer[1][2][3][4] designed to predict astronomical positions and eclipses, as well as the cycles of Olympic Games"
Antikythera mechanism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Around a century before christ.
Nothing to do with a horse, of course
Which is absolutely irrelevant even though you don't read ancient Greek.
Again, not really remotely related to a computer and has nothing to do with computer science, computability, or anything relevant here.

You mean your inference given the information you were aware of. Which makes it not a "bad" at all, just a position others placed you in such that could have been correct and is not at all illogical.

Yeah I know.
They shoot horses don't they ?
There were horses in this this thread once.
Hammer hammer.
Hammer hammer hammer.
Here's the video ... listen carefully, and you will hear a reference to horses ...

My apologies. My post was intendeted to mean that you were absolutely correct in your reasoning and that only bad information you were given held you back. I'm sorry.
