I agree with everything you've just said.
Morality is constantly evolving
It's not a smooth process, and the evils play a big part in to give us a reason to continue to evolve.
And I agree, future generations will look back on us with the same distaste that we have for slavery.
but, just the fact that there is room for moral growth, implys that there is some sort of absolute stranded to grow towards.
When I say morality is absolute I'm not talking about 10 commandments or any other type of authoritarian rule book.
I do mean it in the same sense as the secular humanists say.
something along the lines of: maximum well being for all humans (and I'd also included animals)... Science clearly plays a big part in this
But, philosophically speaking from the naturalism point of view, it seems like we are left with the "is to ought" dilemma.
