Answer 1

If you really think so, why don't you try living like a cavewoman and see how well that works out for you.

Answer 2

welll yeah evolution...but evolution and the bible are the same story, but evolution has well it hasthe facts the closest assumptions....and the bible if u notice basically has the same story but everything is SOOOO exagerated like nuts...but the principal is the same. thyink of god:1. always there and always will be 2.doesn't judge 3. gives u energy 4. gives u life.

Answer 3

Backwards? No.

Humanity is pushing forward, in the begining the was no belief in agods because there was no use for gods, so many things to discover so much to let our imagination run far and wide.

God started to exist when people became unhappy with their existance and needed something to hold on to.

Now some people begin to question the existance of their god, we have become so materialistic and have such a need to prove things by what we can sense, touch, smell, see, a god just seems so far away, untouchable, it could be a figment of someones imagination.

So people stop believing, some of them think like me, god is just something to hold on to, to explain that which we cannot explain, and I do not need to hold on to anyone to keep living.

Answer 4

Nope it's just going with the flow, butting heads every so often. People have always questioned God's existence since the beginning of time. That is always going to be an ever ending debate; one we should not ride on too much as it will only get in the way of the more important aspects of life; to attain our goals, live and let live, love and the pursuit of happiness, aquiring greatness.

Answer 5

We never started out not bellieving in God. Given that you support evolution, which I'm assuming you don't, we never started out at any one conclusion.

As cavemen, we percieved things with a sharp eye and even sharper mind but still couldn't grasp the complexity of the universe. So much like naive children, we began creating, what was at first, simple fairy tales and stories. These legends expanded through the generations with the character's becoming more and more important; their names becoming ever more present in everyday vernacular.

As our minds evolved, so-too did these characters. They began to be worshipped as gods and godesses. Temples were wrought in their name, cities built in their honor, and blood shed in their defense.

Fast forward a millenia or two, some monotheistic religions begin popping up (such as Jewdaism and Christianity). These religions are a step up from the previous paradigms with pantheons of decidant gods and godesses that were very secluded from we humans. These new religions began to worship a god that was more involved with our everyday lives and less to do with the surrounding natural world that was mysterious so long ago.

You can say as we had less need to explain mother nature with gods and godesses, we became more "anthrocentric" if you will; creating a god that is less decidant and more "father-like" in place of the simplistic pagan gods.

Today's theological state can be thought of as a sort of transition state (much like the transition of paganism to monotheism) wherein more and more people are finding less need for any kind of god or religion and denounce the existance of such entities. While there are plenty of religious people out there, the diverging agnostics and atheists are gaining more in number.

Answer 6

It's always been up and down. The Old Testament is full of the Hebrew people going away from God, coming back and then going away again.

Both people of faith and people of science let themselves believe falsely that science is the enemy of God. A clearer understanding of the way things work can only deepen one's appreciation of a higher power.

Answer 7

it should be so lucky!! ;-) before the patriarchal religions showed up, and all the corruption, violence and greed that followed from its all too human "leadership", when many were still closely connected to the natural world, and the beings and energies associated with it, perhaps things were a bit better? the fact that we have "advanced" in years/time is obviously no guaranty that wisdom has kept pace. perhaps, however, systems such as buddhism, taoism, and shinto, for example, have reached greater heights over time. being no expert, i can't say. but from what little i do know about them, they would be the better candidates, where the word "progress" is used ;-)

Answer 8

Humanity is just changing. Experience has taught us that a lot of stuff we were told in the past has turned out not to be true. Now we tend to question what we are told. This is generally a positive thing, but it is inconvenient for our political and spiritual leaders. Use your own intuition. If God exists for you, then he does truly exist.

Answer 9

People have always sought out explanations for the unexplainable. You're right, in the beginning, people didn't believe in the Judeo-Christian God. They had other gods that were just as important to them. I think the fact that we wonder, rather than blindly accepting, proves that we're evolving, not devolving.

Answer 10

There is no god and humanity is certainly going backwards. Consider that it has been almost 34 years since man last set foot on the moon.

Answer 11

The spiritual evolution of humanity has stagnated because the majority refuses to let go of its religious, social and political dogmas.
