Science tends to say "no" to such questions as, is there more to sex than biology? Science doesn't like to describe meaning, only sensory experience. Yet I say, there is an ultimate goal to sex and biology, and this statement or goal need not be outside of either science or religion.
Instincts and impulses are not unmoral, we are evolving to Godhood helped along by our impulses and instincts, which are activated by the Will To Godhood, or the Holy Spirit. “Devolution” can this way be termed “immoral” because our freedom gives us a limited choice of paths to take, even though the goal of Godhood is the determined reason for life, sex, biology and the Kosmos.
Appearances are therefore mostly real, what we see in the world is what is. The apotheosis of appearances is the world we see evolving to Godhood. The question, why are we here? is not a hopeless question to answer, as Kant and others suggested. Science is moving toward answering questions of meaning, which were first seen or hypothesized with intellectual intuition, and, yes, faith.
I see evolution moving inevitably in a pattern, even though it has its random elements, and the pattern has a discernible direction, in spite of instances of stagnation and retreat, toward “higher and higher more effective living forms,” as Cattell put it. The goal of evolving to Godhood need not deprive us of either science or religion. This end goal is still viewed as a fiction by science, but such scientists as Francis Heylighen are beginning to show how evolution tends to produce more complex systems, gradually adding more levels to the hierarchy.
This is our time to “re-enchant” and reconnect the two worlds of religion and science, and Evolutionary Christianity is doing this.
