One of the greatest contributions of
Aristotle was the idea that motion is caused by incomplete entities
striving for completion and perfection. This reaffirms the root
definition of the activating Spirit-Will in the Theoevolutionary Church (TC), with the Spirit-Will activating life to Godhood from within while being shaped by evolution from without. Science does not acknowledge this concept of motion, as it
seems to involve various forms of teleology, vitalism and
orthogenesis, wheras science tends to attribute purpose to the
“process” of random evolution rather than to purpose.
For Aristotle motion ceases when things
move to simple perfection, whereas in TC Perfection or Godhood leads
to new Kosmic Godhood followed by new strivings for Godhood.
It seems like a weaker excuse to
separate faith and reason into different subjects with different
proofs. The faith or intellectual intuition behind seeing goals and
purpose in evolution, with evolution moving from materialism to supermaterialism, needs to be validated by science.
There are perhaps beginnings to this, with such things as the work of Francis Heylighen.
