How could you argue that fire is the greatest invention of civilization?

Fire in and of itself is an important discovery (I don't think I would call it an "invention" because that implies we created it), but it also contributes to other important discoveries and developments.
Fire provides heat, allows us to safely prepare food, and provides sanitation (as in, you can heat a needle and kill bacteria). Ever heard of combustion? So much of our lives in our basic needs and wants are related to fire.
It's one of "the" elements - wind, water, fire, and earth.

well it destroys anything in its path. we use it for warmth, cook our food, light, and entertainment such as fireworks.
Man is the only creature that can deliberately create fire to do work for him. It allowed cooking of food, and then later when torches, lanterns and such were created, it brought light into the darkness, and extended the time that mankind could be out tending flocks, fields etc.
As man discovered different types of fuels (wood, peat, oil, nuclear) more and more people could be supported on less land. With it, we can create all kinds of things, including metals, plastics, etc.
Sometime soon, mankind will master the power of the sun, fusion energy (controlled, of course!)
