Why does the Bible talk only about sin and not about the progress of civilization?

I would ask what 'progress' is.

The Bible has a very strong theme of the negative progress of civilization.

Start with Man as a guy with a cushy job tending to a finished garden and ending up eating bread by the sweat of his brow because he would not acknowledge God.

Then with Seth's children man is once again worshiping God, but by the time of Noah, only 8 people are preserved from the destruction brought by sin.

Then a promise was made to Abraham, but when the time came for the Jewish nation to be born, they wouldn't believe God because of 'giants' in the promised land.

When they finally get there, they destroy the promised land by "everyone doing what was right in their own eyes."

You finally get a great nation established through David and Solomon, but it is quickly destroyed because people refuse to obey God and worship idols.

What is there in civilization that is any different than in Israel when all men did what was right in their own eyes. We have progressed so far that rather than fearing that an enemy would encroach and rip the children from their mother's wombs, our mothers do it to themselves willingly. Such progress!
