Religion Completes Science

Evolutionary Christianity does not have the traditional, religious, Platonic view that reality and all value exist in a transcendent realm beyond the material world. This view makes it easier for the secular view to reject the religious view as unreal.

The direction of the Kosmos is an “ought” as well as a “can,” as Kant said, ought needs to imply can. Even if we cannot reach Godhood our descendents can. Religion should not move outside the natural laws of the Kosmos.

Both religion and natural science are the basis of ethics, there need be no valid difference between their ethics. Godhood is possible in natural evolution, and Godhood is a basis for religious ethics. Religion completes science.

The Kosmos is not the product of blind evolutionary striving, evolution has a divine goal. The universe is not an unthinking colossus which man is just beginning to figure out, this view makes man seem superior to the universe. Our religious view sees man finding that the path of the universe is not blind but divine.
