The Philosophical Base

We apply the deeper understanding of human nature coming in from the fields of sociobiology to the philosophical basis of the natural law, as defined by Aquinas in the "Summa Theol.." That is, “every law framed by man bears the character of law exactly to that extent to which it is derived from the law of nature. But if on any point it is in conflict with the law of nature, it at once ceases to be a law; it is a mere perversion of law.”

The Evolutionary Christian Church affirms natural law, which for us includes material, biological, evolution advancing all the way to supermaterial Godhood. Evolution is derived from nature, and we believe our religious laws should not be in conflict with the laws of nature. Perversions of religion and natural law should be adjusted, and we have adjusted them.
