How can christianity respond to advancement thinking

Why Not Advancement?

Discussion Board Forum 3
Topic: Why Not Advancement?
Naturalistic evolution, process theology, and the idea of inevitable progress have dominated much of the cultural and intellectual landscape. These concepts believe that biological life is evolving into something better, science will one day solve all of our problems, and progress is inevitable. L. Russ Bush, however, builds the case that this thinking is wrong. Instead, he argues that Christianity is true and possesses the only viable answer to advancement thinking.
