That's not how we measure progress. That's a made-up definition of progress that you think supports your beliefs. This is one of the most dishonest approaches that theists take, where they dismiss all of the methods we have of actually learning and knowing and create a "science" that isn't science. Then they can claim anything and support it with anything and demand that their made-up beliefs be tested even though they have forbidden any method that could actually be used to test them.
You're lying when you say things like that. The most charitable description would be that you're deluded, but you've had opportunity after opportunity to put your claims to the test and you cannot bring yourself to do it. You're simply not trying. Your fear of reality will not make your claims true.
Again Ton your way of working out how the system works is very different from mine.
Your system if I got it correct is that there is only one life and during this life whatever you build up is progress.
My system on the other hand is that there is life after life until you reach the very top of human emancipation.
A bit like during the school years.
From the first year you slowly climb up until you get a degree and from here my system goes that life after life you climb up if of course you are smart enough and do not build up bad karma so to reach the top.
In this way progress is only related to what you build up within.
What you build up in the material world is left behind and because you can not take it with you when you leave your body is absolutely worthless.
God doesn't need the technology that you may build up.
He already got that knowledge.
God only concern is what you build up within and that is the effort that you make in getting close to him-her and merge in that ocean of cosmic consciousness.
All the rest is irrelevant.
