The Theoeolutionary Church (TC) affirms “natural law” but we will add evolution to the dynamic of natural law. And we have affirmed such sciences as sociobiology as a source for understanding natural law. We think to ban the growing scientific laws of nature from definitions of natural law is biased.
We are only human and we cannot read the eternal laws of nature perfectly, however, evolution moves on and our knowledge of the laws of nature have increased with the advent of the science of evolution. The largely unwritten rules of natural law can be considered to be included in the laws of the land.
According to Classical and Catholic Church interpretations, natural law is rooted in the wisdom of the species, however, we have learned much more of the natural law and the species since the days of St. Thomas Aquinas. To deny this is to put one's head in the sand.
We continue to conceive of a natural law that sees justice as ultimately proceeding from the nature of the Kosmos, and originally proceeding from the activation of Godhood and the Holy Spirit within nature. We agree that man can more or less understand these laws through reason, intuition and revelation. But science, apparently with or without revelation, has taught us much, and TC will include knowledge from science in defining the natural laws.
In the Evolutionary Outward Path, natural law would be related to the apprehension of justice rooted in the wisdom of evolution. The origin of natural law and morals seems to arise at the point where values and evolution coincide, but again, understanding these laws and applying them require that old virtue of prudence because we are still limited to human consciousness.
Natural law can be perceived now by more than poetry and imagination, although traditionalists would probably not agree. Science has moved far beyond the standard views of science held by the traditionalists. To change a phrase of Raymond English, natural law is the poetry of evolution, but science can also interpret evolution. Natural law or evolutionary law remains a higher law than the laws of men. Natural law, or the will to Godhood, or the law of the Spirit, is the law of evolution.
Did mystics understand the real nature of men and nature? What they seem to have understood is the nature of the Involutionary Inward Path leading to the Soul and Spirit within man.
Could evolution as natural law be written, at least to some extent, into the laws and definitions of justice in the state? At this time the Church will continue to define natural law, and the state will continue to define constitutional law, in a separation of church and state. One day the natural laws of evolution may be written more in the laws of the state, but meanwhile, the Theoeolutionary Church and the Order of the Outward Path, will affirm the natural laws of evolution while working with either a separation or non separation of church and state. As we pursue the natural laws of evolution to God, we obey the laws of the land.
