The epic story of everything. Perhaps both are true, but one can say that the primary cause of *everything* can be traced back to the big bang (or [insert first cause here]).

The Universal system evolves holistically and human effort is a part of it, but humans are only capable of operating within and in relation to the rest of the universe. In fact, the primary cause of all of our technology can be traced back to the big bang (if not further). The difference between your approach and Kevin's is basically the difference between reductionism and holism. And in the end, both "isms" are true...
