I have read your replies. You appear to be arguing with yourself because of your desire to shove the idea of a universal final cause into your definition of progress, to only then deny the existence of progress because of the inclusion of the idea of a final cause.
Pure sophistry demonstrated by the fact that you vehemently deny that the human species has progressed since the time of the Visigoths.
