Re: Back to Topic starter
I would assert that human progress is ultimately only furthered by knowing God.
​
Assertions are so booooooring! Do you have any evidence that this is true? There is much evidence that scientific progress has been hurt and hindered by the christian church (ie. Chruch vs. Newton) and by religious people in power (ie. Prez W Bush vs. stem cell research). Of course it depends on what you mean by human progress, I equate it with scientific progess.

Re: Back to Topic starter
I equate human progress with accepting reality.
​
Well then, you must be looking forward to the point in time that everyone throws off the shackles of mythology, dogma and religion, because these obviously aren't based on reality!
