Reason and intellectual intuition

The Theoevolutionary Church aims, at least figuratively, to be one with the inward Spirit-Will To Godhood which activates life, and then life is seen as shaped by outward evolution. In this sense the Spirit-Will is given higher priority than evolution although both are sacred and connected.

Science, and even the very few noble attempts at science from religion, such as Raymond Cattell's Beyondism, do not admit the Spirit-Will and think of this mainly as an illusionist concept. This tends to make science seem ungrounded, at least emotionally ungrounded, which is why it is so difficult to make a science of religion.

Truth does not depend on science or reason alone, but truth can use the help of reason. Tradition defined reason as the “handmaid “ of the intellect. Reason and science receive their subjects and their substance from intellectual intuition and faith, which was once called revelation. The Spirit-Will to Godhood is seen from this source at this time, but science will one day catch up to it.
