Saving Christianity

The “new religion” of science, which has been very gradually growing since the Renaissance, does have something to add to religion. This new religion may eventually destroy Christianity. We must transmute this new religion of science into the old religion of Christendom, the way the stages of the human nervous system did not destroy the old nervous system but incorporated-while-transcending the old system, the reptilian brain led to the mammalian brain built upon it, not the exclusion of the reptilian.

The combination of involution and evolution, representing religion and science, which is synthesized in the Theoevolutionary Church, can save religion from its increasing deterioration. We see no other organization which seems concerned with this great task. If Christianity rejects the bio-spiritual (but really supermaterial) aspects of evolution it will doom itself to the fate of the old pagan religions. But when Christianity rises again it will contain these evolutionary bio-spiritual elements.
