Whichever is the case, whether we are evolving in a positive and productive manner, or are evolving to the the point that we will meet our destruction, one or the other will happen. I personally believe the former is the more likely. Evolution of a species is so gradual and takes several setbacks and starts, but over the long haul I think true progress is made. Taking just a couple of points in time, chosen to make a point, is misleading. Evolution takes many adjustments and changes in intellect, emotional state, and action. We never can see the whole picture by looking at a century, a millenium, or an era.
The way things are going right now, I don't necessarily believe that we are evolving in a positive way. If anything, we are moving backwards. We haven't overcome our animal natures at all; and I'm sure if there are aliens watching us, they will treat us according to that.
