There is room for Promethean man in the Evolutionary Christian Church (ECC). God may be perfect but the world is not. God initiated the world but the world needs to evolve to perfection .
If we adapt the thought of Aquinas regarding art, that the Traditional artist doesn't merely imitate nature but imitates “nature in her manner of operation,” we can say that evolution imitates nature in her manner of operation. Religion does this as well. ECC gives evolution a central place in religion. We evolve to God, the God we have seen from within.
To adapt or transpose another religious thinker, Frithjof Schuon, without science, without evolution, religion drives souls away from religion, they feel choked, their intelligence cannot breathe.
Reaching God is more than Platonic “remembrance” or recollection, as the Traditionalist suggest, this defines only the Involutionary Inward Path, this is one of two sacred paths to Godhood. The Outward Path reaches God through bio-spiritual evolution to God, the God first seen inwardly in the Soul Within.
