The New Religious Synthesis of the Theoevolutionary Church

We have seen that the old religious stories that tried to integrate science into religion—most recently with “evolutionary spirituality”-- virtually did not synthesize sociobiology or natural evolution and left an immense gap. Political correctness no doubt had to do with this immense gap, since the findings of sociobiology affirmed traits about human nature that modern liberalism found politically incorrect. Evolutionary spirituality could claim political correctness by limiting evolution to the development of human consciousness without having to enter into the “dangerous” category of biological evolution beyond the human.

The Theoevolutionary Church opens up religion to real, biological evolution, and real, advanced consciousness, beyond the human to the superman, and beyond to Godhood. This is the religious story that can fully engage science, real science, and fully engage evolution, real evolution, without hiding from evolution. We evolve biologically and then biospiritually to Godhood, and consciousness evolves as biology evolves. The limited view of Godhood promulgated by evolutionary spirituality has created a Great Spiritual Blockade against the real world, and a block against evolving to the Real Supreme Object God.

  2. Finally, I would highly recommend these resources:

    My book, "Thank God for Evolution: How the Marriage of Science and Religion Will Transform Your Life and Our World": http://thankgodforevolution.com/book

    Either (or both) of these two DVD sets:

    Both of which can be accessed here: http://www.thegreatstory.org/dvd.html
