Or the accumulated knowledge that we do. There had been a lot of amazing things that happened in the "New World" long before Europeans "discovered" the place.

One day people will look back at us as if we were ignorant cavemen, and it could justifiably be tomorrow morning. What kind of intelligent being, willfully and with full knowledge of the consequences, destroys the environment that sustains their lives? What kind of intelligent beings gun down their children just for the hell of it? What kind of intelligent being would ever vote for a Republican? We aren't near as smart as we like to think.
