Can mankind become “perfect” without Divine aid? The Church says “no” but secular Humanitarianism usually says “yes.” The Spirit Within provides the Divine aid activating life to evolve to Godhood, but mankind works within the structures of natural evolution, and here humanitarianism can be applied more readily than the traditionalists have believed. Evolutionary science (e.g. Beyondism) can provide great aid in attaining the divine goal of evolution in the Evolutionary Christian Church (ECC).
Definitions of the “natural law” must finally admit knowledge from evolution, sociobiology, and science, and thereby deepen its definitions. We have in fact learned more of natural law since classical times and the days of St. Thomas Aquinas. But, of course, we know that, as humans, we cannot fully read the eternal laws of nature and we therefore need to be prudent in doing so.
This is the way ECC can affirm and combine Divine and Humanitarian goals.
