If we are such an advances race (HUMAN), we are separated from animals in our ability to create rational PROactive thought. Able to think about single and multiple thoughts down to the tiniest detail, before we act on it. And progress still "requires" the use of extreme measures (i.e. war, murder -any type, etc) to solve problems?

Because not everyone embraces spirituality -- and they are overwhelmingly the ones who cause the violence and hatred in the world.
Just look at communism -- by far the most murderous form of government in world history. It was officially atheist. That's not a coincidence.

"Spirituality" is fairly meaningless. If by it, you mean religion, that tends to spur violence, not pacify it.
And we are still animals. We have the same competitive urges that other animals do. Usually this is a good thing. Sometimes it isn't.

"We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one" - 1 John 5:18
The Devil is the "ruler of the world" according to Jesus in John 12:31 -- "Now there is a judging of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out."
