Ignoring history and throwing out textbook answers is fruitless to me.
Peto is living in the past these days. So, for him, the last 1700 years of history hasn't happened.

What do you mean? Point is easily disproven. The 1700 years of history only succeed the previous 300. Every blessing of the West is because of the fathers.
Would you consider materialistic Modern Science and Capitalism as blessings bestowed by "the fathers" ( as you describe them)?
Blessings are bestowed by the God of the universe. I consider science and prospering economies as blessings that are not accidental to first develop in a Christian culture. Yet other people are to benefit from them just as the enemies of God benefit from the Sun and rain and so on.
Because through the seed of Abraham are the nations blessed, as it is written.
Weapons of mass destruction, water and air pollution, vastly inequitable distribution of wealth, etc. aren't blessings. These are all results of the "advancements" of modern technological developments.
Don't forget widespread drugs and abortions.
Do you consider birth-preventing methods that allow conception but prevent the zygote from surviving, to be the equivalent of fetal abortion? That's the pill and the patch methods.
What about condoms and spermicides to prevent conception entirely? Any problem with that?
As for "drugs", those have been around for millennia.

Whataboutyadda?
You mentioned abortion, along with drugs.

What about condoms? Many (erroneously) think that the Bible says not to spill your "seed" (meaning sperm) upon the ground. So, capture it in a condom!
Save the Sperm! It's human and has a right to life!!!
