Religion looks back to the beginning where it finds God, and examines God by way of the Spirit and Soul within us, which is intimately related to God. Biological evolution, defined in the Theoevolutionary Church (TC), looks forward to God at the end of evolution, whom we evolve to if we are successful in evolution. Both religion and evolution define the same God, but traditional religion has centered on the God seen inwardly whereas we center on Godhood reached outwardly through evolution. This is the Twofold Path.
Religion is almost deductive, first seeing God and then showing God in particulars. Evolution is almost inductive, evolving particulars to a universal God. We can also say that God is reached by involution in religion, and by evolution in biological religion.
Seeing or knowing God in Traditional religion, difficult as this is, is not nearly as difficult as materially-supermaterially evolving to Godhood. But both ways can help each other. Religion helps us better understand the God we are evolving to, and evolution helps us actually reach the God we see in religion.
Traditional Christianity, with its most ancient rites and long tradition is the Western way to see God, to reach God, and it also provides the best conservative environment for evolving successfully to Godhood. The Theoevolutionary Church emphasizes higher intelligence and higher consciousness in evolution, without deemphasizing the traditional virtues and morals of Christianity.
