- If Chinese people didn't know how to control fire, how could they invent gunpowder?
- Hand drill fire starting is a skill that requires the knowledge of friction and heat, it was not something that people would randomly do. And if you have tried it, you hands will get bruisers before you start a fire. So ancient people did not randomly start fire by playing with wood stick. Not all civilizations knew how to start a fire. Only English people did?

- No fire --> no pottery
- If the Chinese civilization didn't have fire, how could they have ceramics?
