Regarding purpose in evolution

Here is how Raymond Cattell put it regarding purpose in evolution, which I agree with. Evolution has so far had a discernible direction—in spite of stagnation and retreat—to higher, more effective, living forms.

Creation does seem to imply a Creator, however, what we can see is an ongoing process of organic and inorganic evolution. The Theoevolutionary Church seeks to be one with the evolutionary process, as did Cattell's Beyondism (which remains politically incorrect at this time)

Meanwhile, our minds are not yet fit to handle such questions as “ What happened to time before time began?” But we can grasp a meaningful pattern which is little more than the evolutionary process, and we can follow that pattern, until our minds can answer such questions.

The Theoevolutionary Church moves forward from Cattell to views on God, evolution, the Trinity etc.
