In stark contrast to pagan animism, Christianity posited “a dualism of man and nature” and “insisted that it is God’s will that man exploit nature for his proper ends.” Whereas older pagan creeds gave a cyclical account of time, Christianity presumed a teleological direction to history, and with it the possibility of progress.

Why is it that these opponents of teleology never seem to criticize or object to the historical teleology and progressivism of Hegelianism and Marxism?
