Progress

I read this quotation on God Online (see my sidebar).

"Progress is Providence without God. That is, it is a theory that everything has always perpetually gone right by accident."
--G. K. Chesterton

I generally dislike the doctrine of progress (for very, very good reason, I think, but I'll need to explain this in full later). Which means I love this quotation...

You should go and read the rest of the article.
