No invention is evil. Tools cannot be inherently evil. It depends on how they are used, and for what purpose.

i had a discussion with my friend about the most evil of the human race's creations.

so, in your opinion, what is the most evil invention ever visited upon mankind and why?
Nobility and Heroism in war do not come from wielding a sword. They come from protecting innocent people. They come from risking everything to do the right thing. Guns did not remove the nobility and heroism of war, the choice to hurt innocent people and fight for selfish causes removes the heroism and nobility of war. War can still be noble, warriors can still be heroic. It merely requires to choice to risk everything to do the right thing.

Whether you use a gun or a sword is not the issue. The issue is how you use it, and for what cause.

I'd say human beings are the most evil creation. Just heard about 2 guys who set a 19 year old on fire, because he got caught up in a love triangle...well not really a triangle...more like a love pentagon....with a married woman. Not all people are evil, but everybody can admit that there are some sick people out there.

Don't blame inventions for human nature.

Inventions cannot be evil. Only people can. And oh, we are.
This. Technology and inventions are by their very nature what we humans make of them.

The internal combustion engine wins it for me. Think about it, not only is there the obvious like pollution etc. but also there is the road deaths (and R.T.A's), the production and laying of tarmac on the roads and the depletion of the countryside to boot (god, you can tell I'm rural). Not to mention the car has made people incredibly impatient and easily angered - the last two aren't specifically evil but they don't do anyone any favours.

Also, guns and drugs wouldn't be so readily available (or as easily transported around the world for war etc. in the gun's case) without the internal combustion engine. That's not to say drugs and guns wouldn't be less harmful but they would be made less available.

Got a better option that is actually a poll option on reflection, not just humans as a species (as smelly as they are), I am torn between two options for most evil creation made BY humans:

Communism.

No other invention killed over 100 million people.
I bet Capitalism's killed a lot more indirectly.
You're talking out of your ass. How exactly would that happen? You mean those people, who died due to draconic working conditions and poor healthcare? It was 10 times worse in gulags and additionaly there were mass murders. Also all wars in the last few centuries combined didn't take as much lives as Stalin alone. It looks like you lost the bet.
So the death toll in third world countries brought low by Capitalism, sparking war and genocide across huge parts of the world and condemning millions upon millions to poverty and death across the African and Indian continents. Yeah I mean who cares about them they don't matter. I forgot to some people its only the deaths of those in the Western world that are real and the fact that communism is dead and over means its much worse then an evil that continues to persist in our world right now, constantly being supported by countries like America. When history is looked back on in the future I think we will find the scourge of Capitalism to be far worse then the atrocities committed by Communism.

Probably the nuclear bomb, because it's too powerful and destructive for anyone to be able to use. The fact that one person can wipe out an entire city with one just shows how dangerous it is. With a gun, you can use it for recreation or even protection from animals. But what other purpose is there for the nuke other than complete destruction? I'm not saying the object itself is evil, but the power it has and the fact that its use could destroy us all definitely puts it high on my list.

This wins. Guns can have a benevolent purpose, like protecting you from animals. Nukes do not. I voted internal combustion engine. Sports cars killed like 10 times more people in Britain than guns before they were banned.

do we really want to know/

but i say the air plane.
first it was created.
then it was fixed with guns and explosives to kill people.
then it was used to drop 2 nuclear bombs on hiroshima and nagasaki (killing millions)
and now being used to kill things at 700 miles an hour Via electronic controlled missles.
also they were used in 9/11 attacks to kill innocents.

thats pretty evil.
