  1. I think it is the most helpful thing we wouldn't be able to heat your self in the winter time to stay warm. We wouldn't have glass or other tools that we need because fire helps people like welders to form things together and cut them off. If there wasn't any fire we would have to eat raw meals like fish deer and other animals so i do think fire is one of the most important tools that the human race has ever created.

  2. i say fire is the greatest invention cause with out fire we wouldn't have hot water. fire was used as the first heater. fire may have the defects but it saves the electricity bills from going up. that is why i think fire is the greatest invention

  3. Fire is a very important invention but in my opinion it is not the greatest invention. I honestly think electricity is the most important invention because we use that every day. But you can still argue that fire is most important because it gives us heat we use fire to cook and lots of other things.

    i said no because it natural because fire can happen when every but. When we make fire we do it buy hands.I guess they can argue.

  5. I say yes because with fire we can create heat with fire. We would not be able to cook meat with out fire. Anabiotics, electricity, steam engine, pesticides, automobiles, and indoor plumbing are good inventions.

  6. I think that it isn't the greatest invention of civilization, but it is very helpful when it comes to civilization. I think the greatest invention of civilization is building a structure to live in or to store things in. fire can be destructive and out of control, but when you build something can it do the destruction that a fire can do. A structure can produce warmth just like a fire but can do much more tha a fire.

  7. I agree because without fire we wouldn't be able to stay warm during cold winters. I also believe with out fire we wouldn't have very good civilization. With out fire we wouldn't be able to cook food or purify water. Most important most of the electricity in the world is made by fire and coal.

    No I don't think that fire is the greatest invention of civilization. I think electricity is because you need that for almost every thing. Transportation and fire are also great inventions. This is cause we use them a lot.

  12. I agree that fire is one of the greatest inventions of all time because a fire can keep you warm at night. That's why we need fire at night. A new invention would be the Iphone 5 was a new invention. The Iphone 5 will have more apps and you can call people and all sorts of other stuff.

  13. I agree that fire is one of the greatest inventions ever. Without fire we could freese to death. I also think a telescope is a very good invention because that's how we figured out that cells exist. A computer is a good invention also, beacause it gives us information that we're trying to find, it also let's us talk to other people online.

  14. I agree, because without fire we would be freezing to death life would not move on. Such as the candle light it's just a little ball of fire to see were we are going at night and without it we would never make weapons and other items. Cell phones and phones are one great invention so then we can talk and text to people far away. T.V. is another great invention people don't want to listen to the radio all day long except old people.

  15. I think fire is the greatist invention ever made. Without fire we could not make stuff. Cell phones are another great invention because you dont have to be by someone to talk to them. TV is another great invention because you can watch tv shows when you are bored.

  16. I agree because it gives of heat and light. So when your lost someone can find you because the smoke well rise up to the sky and you well know there is someone down there. When you cold the fire well keep you warm for a long time. Some of the other enventions are food. Alot of people dont like sertain kinds of food so thats why people inventd other types of food and alot of people like food.

  17. My comment is the fire is not the greatest invention because fire is not an invention is can not be mechanically made it only happens when some thing gets to hot and starts burning. I think one of the greatest inventions is the television because it shows digital pictures, moving or not, through a glass screen. Another great invention would be the telephone because you can communicate with people long distance through small devices. Another great invention is the camera because you can take digital pictures through a small device and have them edited or printed into photographs

  19. I agree that fire is the greatest invention ever because if we didn’t have fire we wouldn’t have heat. Meaning we wouldn’t be warm so we could die of hypothermia. Another get invention would be electricity. I think electricity is important because if we didn’t have electricity we would have are computers, TVs, light bulbs, (etc.)

  20. I do think fire is the greased invest.Because you can have heat and light.You can cook food and boil water. You need to feed your fire wood to burn.

  21. I agree that fire is the greatest invention because it is the only way to keep us warm in the winter when the sun doesn't shine much. It also helps us make a lot of the things we make like food for a matter of fact the only reason we can have food that needs to be heated is because of fire. one other great invention is time it is one of the many way we can tell how far into the day it is. I agree that fire is the greatest invention.

  23. I agree because we would not be able to make cars or most of the stuff we have without fire. I think that another great invention would be the light or electricity. I think they are important because light helps us see and also it helps us drive. Electricity is important because Well i wouldn't be able to type this without electricity and light needs electricity to run and it helps us with almost everything we do! so that is my summary.

  24. I think fire is the greatest invention because without fire we could not cook food. The computer is a great invention because we can do so much on it. Without fire we could not have windows in our houses because we could not melt the materials down to make windows. I think the phone is a good invention because with out it we could not take to people who don't live by us.

  25. I agree because fire can do a lot of things. Fire can give you heat and it can cook your food. Fire can be used for a smoke signal for rescue. You can use fire to keep bugs, and animals away from you when you are sleeping. And that is why I agree.

  26. I think fire is a great invention but I think there are better inventions. I think electricity is a better invention by far.You can do so much with fire but you can twice that with electricity. Any body can have an opinion over this and argue that fire is the best but I would say it isn't.

  27. I think at that fire is a good invention of when you are in the wilder because that could just be your only friend out the tell you go on or stay out there. It can keep u worm if you are out in the cold or if it cold outside when it night time. It can keep our shelter worm when you are going out to find food or when you are sleeping or when u just don’t want animals to come in when you are sleeping like what happened to Brian. I don’t think I can name another invents that it good to server in the wild or that you would like to call your friend.

  29. I think that fire probably isn’t the greatest invention because other inventions have helped the world develop more. For example, the car. Cars have helped our world’s transportation. Another example is computers. Computers have helped our world’s communication and education. Fires are mainly used for camp fires now, or people use fires to weld.

  30. I agree that fire is the most important invention because without fire we wouldn’t be able to cook food, or heat your home by the fireplace. Some other great inventions would be electricity because it basically powers our world, without it our world wouldn’t be the same. Another great invention would be the internet because that is what we use to find out anything, we also use it for emailing. But of them all fire is defiantly the best invention.

  31. I think that fire is really important because it can keep you alive. Fire can cook your your food,and you can keep it foryour warmth. So I think that fire is a really important invention. that is my opinion on fire.

  32. I think fire is probably one of the greatest inventions because it's helped us with many other inventions and given us heat. For example, trains would burn coal to get it to run, you would need fire for that. Another great inventions would be the invention of electricity. We use electricity for almost everything now, and without it we would not be able to watch TV, use computers, etc.

  33. I think that fire is the greatest invention because without we would never have discovered a way to heat anything for many years. Fire and electricity have only one thing in common, they both can heat areas. One advantage fire has is that it can be used when there is a power outage, also fire can be used as a light source in almost all areas,Electricity can't because it need a power source to be used. fire can be used to heat a lot more than electricity because fire can be bigger and last longer because electricity will burn out if there is to much going to one area at one time.

  34. Fire is a very important invention but in my opinion it is the greatest invention. I honestly think it is the most important invention because we use that every day.

    I think fire is one of the most important inventions but not the most important one because fire gives you heat and something to cook on which is VERY important but fire doesn't give you other needs like shealter and so learning how to build is also a great invention and with out food to cook over the fire you would die so the invention of weapons is good to.

  40. I think that fire is a very good invention because fire powers heat, heat powers homes and vehicles. Without fire, we wouldn't have heat in our home and are vehicles would not start on a cold day because it takes heat to unfreeze the oil and fuel.
