Unarguably, Religion has been man's greatest invention. Religion predates electricity. People then believed life was fab (without electricity) and no other life would be better than theirs. Electricity and other technological inventions are offshoots of religious influence.

All of una dont make me vex go reset my password so i can post.


Electricity was discovered and harnessed. It was NOT INVENTED. Analogy - Tomatoes were discovered but tomato soup was invented

If you mentioned something that does not exist in nature like internet, mobile phones, aircraft you are right. If you mentioned something in nature (visible or not) you  are mentioning a discovery



in·vent

verb (used with object)
1.
to originate or create as a product of one's own ingenuity, experimentation, or contrivance: to invent the telegraph.
2.
to produce or create with the imagination: to invent a story.
3.
to make up or fabricate (something fictitious or false): to invent excuses.
4.
Archaic . to come upon; find.




Whether or not religion is an invention is discussion for another day

Invention! Well, you have all spoken well. But I will give you all %50 pass mark. This because all the answers given are secondary. If there is no human being there will be no all inventions mentioned.
The greatest God's invention is MAN. Therefore the greatest Man's invention is discovering of sex-act to produce his likeness. That's the greatest primary invention of man!
In a nut shell, SEX is the answer. How did man discover that woman has a hole that can, ? Did you read where God ever instruct them on how to fulfill the purpose of creation? God only ordered them to be replenish and fruitful but Man invented the mean,

Gun is the greatest invention, man has been able to shape the world with it. Religion is only a way of life like culture, guns were used by the colonialist who later introduced religion as a means of suppression.

I'll go with Fire. Men would still be gathering fruits by now if not for Fire. Moreover nearly every other invention has been moulded in one way or other by Fire

Fire was discovered, not invented by man.

For me I'd say man's hands down greatest invention is the TRANSISTOR. It is the basis for all Electronics, Microchips, Integrated Circuits and in progression computers and the internet.

If man had not invented the Transistor there'd be no information age.

@1stknight "Olodo full NL, Who invented electricity? To all those shouting electricity"

I accept that electricity exists in nature but at least you should have a clue about what we meant when we mentioned it as one. Apart from the invention of writing and letters, Man's ability to Harness and generate electricity should inarguably be the greatest invention of all times. Even phones and the internet will be a big joke without such a great invention. cheesy I am a to-be electrical engineer, so I know what I am talking about. smiley

Bros i understand you, but it should have been "the greatest invention is electric motor invented by faraday" apart from lightning which is  a natural phenomena of electricity.

The wheel.
it is even used as a proverb - trying to reinvent the wheel.
other inventions have been reinvented, but not the wheel.
Fire, electricity etc were not inventions of man. Man simply sicovered them.
Fire is one of the natural elements of earth.
the natural elements are: wood, fire, metal, water and earth.

Man has excelled in many ways through technology. Sitting back to consider. I would say the biological valve used for assisting the heart is the greatest.

You may just be right, almost everything else mentioned needs a transistor or similar deceive to run. One the other hand it seems man needs religion to run, religion will give you a run for ur money.
