There is a common assumption in our world that things either get worse and worse or they get better and better.  In today's episode, Eric and Kevin show why this is historically and biblically false.  But not only that, why is being a cynical pessimist or an authoritarian optimist ultimately harmful? And if things get neither worse or better, what happens instead?
