Bravo to Wilson, he is describing prescriptive biology. I really don't know how we as a species can understand or fix our problems unless we are willing to look at them from a naturalistic process.
We are ants with technology, and with the ability to use our brains to shape our world. If we refuse to use this ability because we are afraid of how it will affect our religious sensibilities we will be a more spectacular evolutionary failure than ever before seen on our planet.
The Earth will long survive us.
