Impact? My friend you make it sound like the invention of the wheel. If the scratch a bullet makes on the side of a Tank can be called an impact, and an asteroid hitting the earth can be alo called an impact than yes, it made an impact.
Really, the 10C have never really changed anyone, they are obvious principles that everyone pretty much understood before and after there creation. The only time where it seems absolute chaos ruled was in the time of Noah, where he was the only good man alive and everyone one else had no problem raping/stealing/ murdering. but if you go further back in the bible (a few chapters) you find the story of the tower of babel. Where all man was united and no strife existed between man and then GOD! lemme say it again GODDD! got scared (the bible states that he noticed that 'united' man could do anything and eventually might just reach heaven (even though they wouldnt do it with the tower)) So he caused divisions among men, and man started waring amongst themselves. So it seems the answer to uniting man is found no where else but in the bible. If we could somehow re-unite people against something (duh) :rolleyes: (God perhaps?) Then people would no longer seek to harm one another
The logic i give here has flaws, but basically accurate
