1. It's clear to any objective mind that the verse you quoted has been taken completely out of context and was not meant to be a prophecy of terrorism. Furthermore, by essentially any metric the world is improving at an increasing rate. Just because communication has allowed for negative global events to gain more publicity does not mean that they are increasingly frequent.
2. Science is not "equally dogmatic." Science has no pope, no GB, etc. I suspect that your problem with science is that you cannot make unfounded assertions without evidence and have them readily accepted like you can in the domain of religion. If you have evidence that some accepted scientific theory is wrong, publish it and present your case for the world to see. If you actually have evidence and know what you're talking about you won't be ridiculed, you'll be praised for increasing the sum of human knowledge.
Your calculations on human growth rate are inherently flawed. You neglect to account for the extremely high rate of infant mortality that was present in the early ages of the human species. This only began declining in the last century or so. Furthermore, you neglect to account for wars, famine and disease that have, at times, resulted in a decrease in the world population over a long period (a good example would be the black plague which contributed to a decrease in population of around 100 million people within a century). The human population of the earth probably remained in the thousands for a very long time, and only after the invention of things like farming and domestication of animals did things become stable enough for the species to truly flourish. Even then, as I said, human population growth was nothing like what we've seen in the last century.
