First Cause Or Endless Creation?

The refusal of the Revealed Religion to grant permission to exist, to be, unless creation is derived from God has set up the tragic confrontation between the material and spiritual world, between religion and science. The Theoevolutionary Church (TC) speaks of a cosmic evolution to Godhood, a cosmos created from Primary Matter and the Spirit-Will within matter which activates matter. Rather than a first cause we speak of endless creation and evolution. Even St. Thomas left a doctrine of creation at least somewhat open, saying that the ultimate human knowledge of God is that we do not know him.

The “perfect” seems not to be the "cause," that which seeks the Perfect is the cause, which explains why there is a cause to go somewhere it needs to go. The Spirit-Will seeks Perfect Godhood by way of activating life to evolve to Godhood.  Evolution then shapes life, not always toward Godhood. This may even be seen in relation to pagan cosmogony, where Earth Mother (Primary Matter) gives birth to life, activated by Sky Father (the Spirit-Will.) This is how the TC resolves formerly irreconcilable differences in religion and philosophy, and ancient and modern history.
