Science and Traditionalism

The Theoevolutionary Church brings back the material world which had been undervalued or even exiled, e.g. Gnosticism, Traditionalism, and we join the material to the spiritual by way of evolution of the material to God, the same God we see and know inwardly in traditional religions.

This determines a wholeness that has been lacking in the split between religion and science. It will require courage on both sides to understand and include evolution and religion together as a religious whole---both have been at war with one another.

If the Traditionalists are against science and technology because it is abused and exploited by the modern world, yet if they approve of the creative spirit of innovation, as long as it maintains its spiritual and territorial quality, then they can harmonize with the Theoevolutionary Church, which views science and technology as helping us evolve to Godhood. We therefore approve of parts of the Enlightenment in this innovative spiritual sense, which Traditionalists do not do.
