@Entropist- Regurgitated verbal vomit that's been beaten to death and back again.
The point of Christianity is growth and expasion in one's understanding and knowledge. As humanity has progressed, we have come to know and understand things far better than we did in ancient times, and there is nothing wrong with that. We have reached a point where our knowledge is so great that we have a far better understanding of the universe than ever before. Technology is on the rise at speeds no one could have thought possible.
This is called progress. Expansion. Not only is it a basic tenant of life itself, but it is thoroughly encouraged by Christianity. There is no 'moving' of 'goalposts.' If that's what you call growth, then I find it ironic that you call yourself 'Entropist.' Entropy is change.
