It works for by saying an industrial revolution was "destined" to happen, just 2,000 years earlier.

I realize that.

If it did happen then, the world would be a lot different than it is today. Events will happen if the events are allowed to happen.

And this is long before the rise of individual barbarian nations in Europe modeled after Rome, even longer before the colonization of the New World, and a couple centuries before Christ.

America becoming a country was not as big of an impact on the world as the industrial revolution until the World Wars. It didn't change the course of human race, so those events would've still happened.

America becoming a nation didn't change the course of history? I would say it most definatly did.
Deep unspeakable suffering may well be called a baptism, a regeneration, the initiation into a new state.

Reread what I wrote. They didn't change the world course until World War II. The industrial revolution did a lot more for the world than America did.
Dropped the atomic bomb let them know that it's real
Speak soft with a big stick do what I say or be killed
I'm America!

I have found the enemy and he is us.

How about this; ever hear of (that guy from Alexandria) who invented a steam-powered toy that would spin this little wheel? He was one step away from a working steam-engine, and maybe causing an industrial revolution of sorts nearly two-thousand years before the actual one. Lets say he took that last step?

I bet that would have made Christianity more like communism, with Christ being the People's Saviour.

Oh, I read what you said. I also say that the establishment of an independant America changed the course of history.

That might make Church a bit more interesting...

It took me a while to realize that that was a mockery of WWF/WWE/WTF/Whatever. Nice joke from A to B to C.
