I guess that we both agree that you need resources to create wealth. Without resources, wealth cannot be created. I guess, that we both agree that you need education, knowledge and science to use that resources in an efficient way. That technology+resources create wealth.
My argument, for which I provide some links, is that you need to redistribute that wealth so everybody profits form it for that wealth to be sustainable:
"Economic growth provides the basis for overcoming poverty and lifting living standards. But for growth to be sustained and inclusive, its benefits must reach all people."

But, maybe we have different values and that is the root cause of our disagreement. I think that giving everybody enough to cover their needs is the goal of society. To remove poverty is a goal to achieve. Higher economic output is not a goal, but a means to achieve the goal of humans well being. Improving the economy is a means for humans to live better.
