Theories or not, I still see change and the world progressing. All of these things are not irrelevant for enlightenment; The developments taking place will eventually leave more space for doing nothing, people are less required to keep society running, hence it is progress toward enlightenment.
Also, whenever anything unTrue happens it is burned away, kind of like a bucketlist being fulfilled step by step. When all is done, there is nothing left but Enlightenment.
