Not at all.
If you would remember the past posts you wouldn't ask me the same question again and again but here we are for more charity works.
Science go forward all the time but also the human desire to get out the physical-material sewer go forward.
To be more precise the material-physical part is not even the driving force
for humans to discover more science but this is something that you will learn later on when you will get out the mental corral of dogmas.
Of course there is a progression in physical science.
It is like the school years.
In the beginning you will learn what your intellect can deal with and as your intellect grows there are more things to learn and discover.

I understand that you never left your small village in England so you are not aware of what happen outside in the global world.
The reality however is that most of the people living in Africa, Asia, central and south America can not afford medical health, education and of course enough food without even mentioning the new technologies and these people make about 80% of the global population.
Quote:Happiness is irrelevant to the progression of science.
The search for happiness is the driving force behind new discoveries.
When you are completely happy you wouldn't have any reason to struggle.
I earlier point out that physical science can not bring permanent happiness
nevertheless most people keep on dreaming that this is the way to go to find happiness so the search for happiness is totally relevant for the progression of science.
Wrong again boy.
Quote:You said that science isn't progressing.
I wonder when you ever understand what people are saying.
I instead said that physical science can not help to get people out the sewer therefore can only be regarded as an help to stay afloat.
In physical science there is no addendum ( add 1 to 0 = 1 this is an addendum while -1 + 1 = 0 does not add anything to you therefore it is only an help to stay afloat).
Let me explain in a different way so your limited intellect MAY understand.
Suppose you get sick.
In this case you loose your health.
Now Mr. PhysicalScience come to your help and cure you.
Is this an addendum to your normal status?
Of course not because by healing you you go back to your normal status
of health.
Physical science would help you to progress if would be able to make a super man out of a normal man but this never happen.
Quote:I pointed out all the fantastic things that science has done. You implied that you will only see science as progressing when it has eliminated death. I asked you to explain yourself. You have so far failed to do that. Please do that now. What will it take for you to think science is progressing? Eliminate death? Make people happy? What is it?
As i just said above the lack of happiness is the driving force behind the search for new discoveries (science).
However it is an illusion to think that physical science can lead to progress.
Continuous births and death can only be stopped by spiritual progress not by physical science therefore this science can not bring real progress.
