    Nature also made our kickass brains which we use to create these amazing things.

    Those same idiots drive home in a car to an air conditioned home. What’s “natural” about any of that?

      Yep, tool use evolved pretty early in animals (some insects and fish can use tools,) though of course humans have gone a step further and use tools to make other, better tools.

      The smallpox vaccine was developed in 1796, nearly a century before the first phone and a good 20 years before the first bicycles. The tech in COVID-19 vaccines was discovered 20 years before the first iPhone, but people act like it was invented yesterday.
