[Here are the generations of dichotomies of the Progressive imagination.

Remember, the (perhaps unconscious) goal is to deny that the moral religious and philosophical natural nested forms intersect.

First generation of oppositions:

divine action (must be excluded): scientific inquiry

Second generation of oppositions:

divine action (must be excluded): scientific advance

Third generation of oppositions:

superstition (must be excluded): reason

Fourth generation of oppositions:

Christianity (must be excluded): Modern Progressivism]
