In the book "The Omega Conspiracy: Satan's Last Assault On God's Kingdom," author I.D.E. Thomas reflects on the historical consequences of progressive ideologies, suggesting that a century of such thought ultimately contributed to the rise of figures like Hitler. This perspective implies that advancements in technology, rather than solely bringing about progress, can lead to darker outcomes when separated from ethical considerations.
Thomas also addresses the dual nature of technology, which can produce both beneficial innovations and dangerous consequences. By evoking the imagery of witches and warlocks, he highlights the potential for modern advancements, driven by engineering, to give rise to harmful forces or ideologies that may threaten humanity, thus emphasizing the need for moral guidance in the pursuit of progress.
