Why is humanity so slow with humane progress?

Question

Why is humanity so slow with humane progress?

Answer 1

Because of these god freaks that believe in fairies

for 2000 years the catholics killed every one that studied science, astronomy ,,,and now they hold back medicine

just look how far we have come in the last 200years ,sense the governments outlawed religious killings

Religions don't want people to figure out how thing work,cause they won't be able to say god did it and people will not believe the fairy tails

progress would phase them out

Answer 2

Are they? Human society, technology, medicine, agriculture, and human rights, along with humane treatment of animals, environmental concerns etc have advanced more in the last 100 years than all of humanity since they first appeared on Earth.

Sure there are some backwards cultures and beliefs (eg. Islam) but generally humanity has advanced a lot.

Answer 3

We progress, we fall back.  Sin is always with us.

Answer 4

The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind.

Answer 5

Tradition.  Lack of access to information and ideas.  Unwillingness to be open to information and ideas.

Since the beginning of society,  traditions have always been passed down, sometimes its for good, sometimes its bad.  Only in modern times with the great wealth of information and ease of communication have we finally been able to regularly break tradition.  Sometimes its good, sometimes its bad, but it does allow for faster change.  However, even now, most of the world does not have access to this information or these ideas, or are unwilling to hear it because of their deep seeded traditions.

Change will come in time, unfortunately it will not be soon enough for many.

Answer 6

Because we have lost all sense of "humanity".

A person isn't measured by his or her honor, character, beliefs and ideals but rather how materially wealthy he or she is.

A doctor becomes extremely educated in the human body, only to end up denying the majority of his patients proper medical treatment because they don't have "money".

Since when was there a "price" oh human life?...

Answer 7

because the DEMs threw out GODS Laws to the curb!
