The Importance of a Transcendent Grounding

I feel like I belong to another who doesn't see that there is something in this world that is not of this world, all that kind of stuff. And it's unclear to me that the argument is no, you can't have progress, reason and science if you don't have a transcendent grounding. The human spirit is more than the human. You know, the enlightenment just if the enlightenment as this project of getting rid of that stuff, it seems like it's missing.
