I think it all depends on what your definition of advancement of growth is. Are we growing technologically, or spiritually, and if one and not the other, is this really a good thing.

What's more important, making a faster car that burns clean fuel, or becoming enlightened and understanding the universe we live in?

I personally think the Amnish are extremeists, and are going about it all wrong, no question. However they don't feel this way, and honestly, when I look at all the stress the modern world causes, it would indeed be nice to embrace seomthing simpler. There really should be room for the past and the present, but I don't begrudge them their beliefs, though I do think they are misguided.
