What you are saying is that we have more scientific knowledge.
That is true.
Then he is correct.
..but are our souls somehow safer?
What do you mean? And what does that have to do with today's knowledge being more expansive then yesterday's?
Where are we headed?
The future.
Are you one of these people who think that we can avert climate-change and war?
I don't think we can. I'm absolutely certain that we can.
If we will though, is another question.
That it is within our capabilities to do so, is pretty much a given in my opinion.
Whether we will also do what needs to be done to accomplish it, is another story.
Ironically, especially when it concerns climate change, it's dogmatic faith based belief that forms the biggest obstacle. Anti-science minded conspiracy nutcases who don't even believe it is occurring and/or don't believe that human activity is the cause of it.
And then off course there is also the oil industry which will do whatever it can to slow it all down and continue selling their black gold for as long as possible.
Oil companies, ironically, have known that their industry was going to be an extreme problem for climate as far back as the 60s and 70s. The allmighty dollar was more important to them though.
Are you one of these people who say that there is nothing after death, while enjoying the fruits of worldly knowledge?
The thing that is after death seems to be the same as there is before being born.
Which seems to be non-existence.
I didn't exist for 13.7 billion years before I was born.
It didn't bother me.
