Practically everything humans do is throwing rocks and setting things on fire!

Guns: setting a fire that throws a rock really hard!

Rocketry: sitting inside a rock and using a big fire to throw ourselves into orbit

Particle Accelerators: hurling the tiniest rocks we could find at each other so hard and so fast that they make special fire that we observe to divine the secrets of the universe.

Not entirely. The other half of human activity is mixing dirt and plants and bones together to see what happens.

And what usual happens when you start mixing random shit together? Fire
