Science hasn't lived up to promise of better health and longevity? You cannot possibly be living in this reality and agree with that nonsense. Pick an unsubstantiated anything in science. In fact, science is entirely about substantiation. This man had a profound misconception about both our history (and the quality and brevity of our lives before science) and the basic mechanics of scientific understanding. Care to explain a big question by invoking deity? The final sentence of your post is akin to claiming conspiracy.
