In this article we will consider the usefulness of making questions about the myth of progress, part oh human life from biblical times. As we see the possessions of common set of ideas, rituals and symbols can supply an overarching sense of unity even in a society riddled with conflicts . We are convinced that the search for salvation in progress is an obviously component of the quest. For many people in this essentially individualistic culture, it is preoccupation that virtually eclipses the ideas of future with social justice, equality. Every dream about justice world also takes a political and social forms. We are dualistic and our dualism provided the basis for an uneasy accommodation between faith and knowledge. Faith means progress, knowledge retrogression. Man is homo religious, he wants to believe as much, as he needs to breathe, he needs faith for living. That’s why he believe in old myth of progress. The idea of cumulative progress was born long time ago, together with the man, who believed in salvation on earth and is the part of man’s life. It grows from hopes and fears and as we can to observe it’s changing in time, and always be a part of man’s life.
