"If things can improve, this means that there must be some absolute
standard of good above and outside the cosmic process to which that
process can approximate.  There is no sense in talking of `becoming
better' if better means simply `what we are becoming' -- it is like
congratulating yourself on reaching your destination and defining
destination as `the place you have reached.'"

    C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock, "Evil and God" (1941), para. 1, p.21
