As the saying goes, Yes & No.
Technology in hunting/gathering 'stage' was sufficient to secure continuation and even growth of the species.
Technology now seems more apt to destroy than to continue the species.
. . . .for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life. . .
