Progress, we talked about progress in terms of technology in class. Whether progress is actually furthering man or whether it could be harmful. Thinking about the advancement in agricultural technology, you could conclude that progress is not furthering man anymore. The mass production of crops has made food much less healthy. Talking about a product like milk, milk is filled with hormones now because of the hormones injected into cows to have them grow larger. Fresh milk from a cow not injected with hormones would be good for us, but that is much more rare today. Similarly the land used for crop production is under great strain and covered in harmful chemicals, whether pesticides or chemicals to keep the crop looking a particular way. These chemicals and the great use of the land is not natural. The progress this might be considered, is not progress rather it is shadow progress. Perceived progress, progress that in reality is causing a health crisis and a generation of people that aren't understanding what they consume. Nature to Creation discussed how Christians have a responsibility to be at the front of the renewal of the earth. I think that's absolutely correct, that Christians have a responsibility to guide a renewal of understanding on how we should treat the earth.
