Maybe he meant to contrast evolution against both God and perfectibility and just screwed up the parallelism? Bad writing anyway.

Humans are perfectible via social engineering and political reform? Does he *know* any humans?
-
Not sure if he's contrasting God and perfectibility or evolution and perfectibility. Bad writing.
-
I'm not sure it matters which. Humans aren't perfectible. We're wetware. If he wants perfectibility, he needs a computer/bug-free software.
-
I think he's criticizing perfectibility? Because it's idiotic? But the construction here is so awkward. Maybe missing context.

After about a score of re-readings and repeating my paraphrases in my head, I think I get it, but it's not like I'm feeling enriched or anything. Nor do I feel a deep need to rush out and share my, um, enlightenment.

He's contrasting evolution with human-directed efforts to improve human morality, I read, and saying that neither looks compatible with God.
