Progress of Christianity In Christian civilization, and only in it have developed science as we know them today. The first reason we have that other civilizations are pagan, that is, believe in many gods, walking mixed with the material realities of the universe. Thus the existence of men is believed dominated by blind forces of nature supernatural fatum or destination.

Progress of Christianity With Christianity, the situation changes radically, it teaches that there is one God, transcendent to the world, which has given to men as his inheritance, for child care and work. The man is radically free, the target is not inexorable master of his life, but each person is left to your own risk.

Progress of Christianity The world is not the result of blind chance or unknown forces: the work of a personal God, who is intelligent, loving, and that has made the world intelligible, equipping it with law and order that man can and must discover. There is, therefore, mysteries in nature, but the order of a rationality that God has given you.

Progress of Christianity But the influence of Christianity has not been limited to creating a mindset that science makes possible, for Christianity is also due to concrete and practical means that have led to the development and even the sciences. The main institutions created by the Church to that end is the university. In college, the church provided the means for advancing knowledge, and was a place where they practiced one of the first and most important works of charity and mercy: teach the ignorant

Progress of Christianity We have seen the positive Christian influence in the history as to say that Christianity is the first civilizing force and the first factor that has brought the best and true progress. However, against the Christian leaven in the last two centuries have come attempts to organize society and individuals on the basis secularists and atheists. Ideologies are born that way: simple explanations of the world, man and society, who have easy answers for everything and are very suitable for mass consumption.

Progress of Christianity Ideologies are divided into individualistic and collectivist. two groups: the The individualistic: As capitalism or mercantilism, consider that progress occurs in an automated way, by the conjunction of the blind forces that are created when each pursues its own interest: a supposed invisible hand makes merge from selfishness to the common good.

Progress of Christianity Collectivist: As communism or socialism, firmly believe in the need to regulate everything, so that it becomes a society rigidly organized a big machine where everything is planned and where people are reduced to simple gears to limit to comply strictly with the role assigned by the State. Both have in common the belief in automatic progress that will mechanically when society is organized according to their theories
