All of that's true, as far as it goes. But it's one-sided. Science gives us the tools to help or to destroy ourselves. We can learn from science how we're interconnected with the ecosystems, which could motivate us to develop more sustainable ways of life. Or we can learn from the big picture of evolution that it doesn't matter whether our species succeeds or perishes.

The empirical fact is that science isn't motivating us to do better. Our societies are still too myopic, greedy, and tribal. We're ignoring science's warnings, and this runs counter to your optimism. It looks like we're selfish, tribal, and small-minded even in rich, informed societies because science disenchants everything, so we retreat to our simple pleasures to avoid pondering the existential implications of naturalism.

Sure, the universe that science explains is awesome, and I emphasize that in the pantheism I defend in my writings. But nature's impersonal beauty is strange and intimidating because it's perfectly inhuman. Evidently, even our developed societies are full of social mammals who would rather exploit science for short-term gain than learn so easily the secular humanistic lessons.
