As a Christian I can make sense of it with God having a particular purpose for how human society should be and our society progressing towards (or regressing away from) that standard. From your perspective, how do you make sense of the idea of "progress"?
(Please do move this question to somewhere more appropriate - philosophy perhaps - if you only want to focus on the political and historical questions in this thread.)
