I don't agree, I think that humanity is still quite stupid, we have not learned much more than some limited technological tricks in thousands of years, we still don't have a unified understanding of who we are or why we are here. We still don't have a symbiotic relationship with nature the planet or the universe, let alone with each other. We have cultural & religious warfare still going on after all these 1000's of years & we are basicaly mostly still greedy, ignorant & self centered.

So, my observation is that we are quite slow developers when looked at in human time. Perhaps the global warming situation may cause humanity to take some big steps in it's evolution i.e. United action globaly for humanities mutual benefit, one of the major stumbling blocks as far as a united humanity is concerned will of course be apocolyptic religions, those people that think they are doing their God's work by accelerating the destuction of the earth so that they can go through the pearly gates, or have a squillion virgins in paradise! :-)

If humanity survives for another 100 years I would think that we have a good chance of getting smart & growing into our potential, if so religions will be redundant.

As always, time will tell...
