Back in my early Christian days, Hagee was my primary teacher. He would use Daniel 12's "Knowledge Explosion" to explain mankind's knowledge in general not the church.

He would say stuff like, "From the garden of Eden until 1900 the flame was the primary source of light. Now we have lasers, fiber optics, etc." He would go on about travel by animal and today breaking sound barriers and going to space, etc.

It was quite effective. I used that approach in many of my speech classes in high school.
