You're assuming that our understanding has improved. Yet everything has been getting worse since the Fall, why is our understanding any exception? How do you know that your current moral feelings about slavery aren't a misunderstanding rather than an increase in understanding. How do you know you have the best understanding of morals, and that say people in another country who stone people for homosexuality and rape are not superior. How do you decide what is a part of this objective morality?
Indeed!
Reading the bible, it would seem our understanding is getting worse. We are less and less similar to what it describes there.
I don't know why anyone would assume we must be getting better, if they don't know what the standard is in the first place.
Of course, the further we are away from the bible the better, for the most part.
