That's bad/unimpressive because?
It's almost as if you are blind to what is right in front of your eyes. The car you use to move you places quickly, planes that fly overhead, the variety of food at your grocery store, the medicine you or people around you use to prolong their lives, the Internet we are using right now, the electricity that flows through your walls, and countless other things we use daily are all the result of these discoveries made by Science. Yet you are more impressed by claims of wonders written in ancient books.
There are wonders all around you and not one of them are the result of the actions of god(s). Forgive me for saying this, but your arguments for god(s) are silly. You may as well be arguing for the existence of Superman.
You didn't get my point at all, in fact you didn't even think about it for a second.
We've been utilizing both natural resources and our mind-abilities to advance in every category out there, since the beginning of our human race.
Our minds, which is proven the most critical part of our species - while everyone else clearly lacked such sophistication - is proof enough for me that we were guided intentionally to become what we're right now. And those natural resources weren't founded arbitrary either by Mother Nature, they did exist for a reason.
That huge crude-oil reserve lying under the Arabian Peninsula, it was right under our feet for the whole time.
Normally, it's considered just another human discovery, while in fact we believe it's another one of the God's graces given to his elected human race to be discovered in the right time.
"It is He Who has made the sea subject, that ye may eat thereof flesh that is fresh and tender, and that ye may extract therefrom ornaments to wear; and thou seest the ships therein that plough the waves, that ye may seek (thus) of the bounty of Allah and that ye may be grateful."
Uranium is another example. It was there perhaps for the whole known history of humans, waiting to be discovered and utilized in the right age.
Now you would attribute those technological advancements out of Uranium and give credit only to some brilliant scientists, but the question begs though; why we have such unlimited scope of thinking while everyone else was kept at bay and got severely crippled in his way of thinking - absolutely no trace of intentional guidance, of course.
Beside developing their normal habits of finding food, shelter, surviving other predators and getting accustomed to their own environment circumstances; when was the last time an animal had invented something useful?
Of course, I'm in no way denying human scientists their credit - in fact I always call for them to be recognized, their efforts acknowledged and thanked pretty well for the countless hours spent behind their achievements.
And I know for sure that Accuray's Cyberknife machine, which helped saving countless of desperate lives, did not fall right from above.
He gave us our free minds - much more of a responsibility than convenience - in order to work it hard and be different from all the other animals surrounding us.
