Abstract
Civilization, along with its defining parameters of progress and development, has become a buzzword of our contemporary age. Modern civilization has brought unprecedented achievements, expanding our horizons of the natural world and extending the frontiers of science and technology. Presented with the marvels of modern secular civilization with the apparently limitless resources in nature, we are taught to believe that we are better off in almost every respect than ever before and that ours is the greatest time there has ever been on this planet by any measure one wishes to choose. We are thus coaxed to invest more in science and even to replace faith in God with faith in science.
