Even if it is, the line will still go up, only later.. It is not like humanity has not enough time to reach a certain goal or so..
Why, we all want to live in a better future. If we would be living in a better future we would still want to live in an even better future..For the living it does.

How do you imagine the restoration of the Gospel helped propel the advance of science? What was the mechanism?Consider the graph starting with the Renaissance, a time of Christian re-awakening. Then, consider the graph starting in 1820, when the gospel of Jesus Christ was restored to the earth. It's remarkable how knowledge from heaven, both spiritual and scientific, have flooded the earth since the beginning of the Restoration of the Gospel.

The Sumerian and babylonians were very advanced in civilisation, exhaled in math and science, astromeny that is much greater then egypt, and dont forget the Mayans.

I think it's rather Euro-centric. Scientific growth and discovery didn't stop through the Dark Ages... it just moved. The Muslim world really did help to safeguard scientific knowledge throughout this period, and as the Dark Ages ended, this knowledge permeated back into Europe through the interaction between Christian and Muslim cultures.I found this image macro a while back:

I'm sure Islam made advancement and progress grind to a halt in that part of the world, and it was the Spanish Catholic Conquistadors who wiped out the Mayans.
I think that if there's a causal link, it goes the other way: the Industrial Revolution did two things (among others):It's remarkable how knowledge from heaven, both spiritual and scientific, have flooded the earth since the beginning of the Restoration of the Gospel.

It also allowed for the advancement of communication and transportation that was to facilitate the spreading of pornography throughout the world, as well as drugs, human trafficking, weapons, etc.I believe that when the Gospel was restored, God began to open the heavens and to reveal knowledge. He called prophets and revealed truth through revelation. God also opened the minds of men and women to make scientific inquiry and to make great discoveries and inventions. Mankind is better off with scientific discovery and God gave this to the world as a blessing. Part of the reason, but not all, for the advancement of communication and transportation was to facilitate spreading the restored gospel throughout the world.
Indeed... mine as well...Actually, my understanding is that the Church played a vital role in preserving what little science and philosophy was left in Europe after the fall of Rome.
