intelligent? no just more advanced, intelligence is not directly related to our advancement in technology or medical practices. If we were on an intellectual incline... then we shouldnt have this many problems in the world. since all are very solvable.
knowledgeable? ah yes, but like i said above, without the intellect to go with that... we are still dumb.
healthier? haha we may have found proactive practices to take part in to sustain a comfortable lifestyle but healthier? seriously? our lack in intellect has caused us to bypass many things that can be keeping us in a healthier state... for example: bread used to go bad every few days, until we took out the ingredients that caused it to go bad. this caused bread to last way longer thus saving the producer and the consumer money - but now heart attacks are much more common. thats just one example, there are plenty more out there. just gotta look in the right places.
aware? dude I live under a rock and can tell you that America by themselves are the most wool eyed people in the world. aware.. lol i laughed out loud at that..
we chose to live our lives with this so called awareness you speak of yes we wonder why our world is so eff'd up... its called lack of awareness. --- otherwise we would know, and we would be healthy enough and smart enough to actually do something about it.
peaceful? well, i can see it from that perspective but I would go with the term tolerance. this world is not at peace, its simply tolerant, holding their tongues and keep their swords to their sides since we really dont know what else to do and all else has failed.

But when we look into Genesis we see 2 different creation myths that do not match each other. The order of creation is different and the creation of man is different as well. Is this part of the duality being discussed here?

You mean cognitive dissonance and rationalizing the irrational, right? I'm sorry, but there isn't a single good explanation for the two different Genesis myths beyond the documentary hypothesis...namely that they are two separate stories written by people with two entirely different schools of thought. Hell, Genesis 2 seems to predate Genesis 1 in terms of authorship. They even refer to the deity in two different manners.

I don't hate or love this 'god' thing, I merely treat it in the same way I treat unicorns or pixies, I really am apathetic. Now, people don't go around trying to claim that a bad interpretation of science proves pixies or unicorns, so I'm more active in engaging against those things.
Of course, you're providing nothing new here. Experience is not a proof of anything. Why? Well, it's flawed. You can actually trick people's experience. Psychology students do it all the time as part of their studies. So do neurology students. It's well documented that human perception is flawed.
To swipe a line from Nietzsche, we only need to look at an insane asylum.

Your proof will come from science as confirmed in the Bible. The Higgs Boson is the last particle and associated wave to be found according to our current theory of quantum physics. As one of the researchers stated, it will be seen as streaming data form another dimension. I wish I could give you the quote from the CERN website, but it has since been taken off. Nothing in reality is animated apart from information. This is LOGOS. Light, both particle and wave, animated by information in the form of wave.

A train engineer argues with his friend living next to the track that the train whistle changes pitch. The engineer says, "I'm sorry, but there isn't a single good explanation for the pitch of the train whistle changing. I hear it everyday and it stays the same." In the end, they are both right. The whistle changes pitch by understanding the excluded middle argument. The Doppler Effect explains the inconsistency.

You're right, each man would hear something different. But if either one of the actually repeated the conditions under which the other heard the whistle, they would hear the same phenomenon. If the engineer stayed at his friend's house, he would hear the Doppler effect. If the friend rode in the train with engineer, he would hear no change in the pitch of the whistle. Each observer, when repeating the conditions of the other observes the same evidence on an objective basis. Thanks for providing an example of something that would constitute objective evidence, even though you've failed to provide objective evidence itself in any of your posts.

You have answered your own comment. We are all riding the train. We are all friends and neighbors. The Bible says, "Test all things. Cling to what is good." Bias, judgment and doubt cannot reveal truth.
