What Is Our Conservatism Conserving?
“ By conservatism we mean conserving
the best elements in our civilization.” Russell Kirk
In the Theoevolutionary Church
(TC) conservatism includes sociobiology and genetics;
evolution makes possible the Path to Godhood. But Ordered Evolution
in culture and society is needed, not revolution. Evolution is also
one of the“permanent things” that needs to be conserved if we wish
to reach real Godhood, and ordered evolution requires the stability
of conservatism.
Conservatism has downplayed or blocked
biology and genetics mostly due to its too narrow insistence on the
universal inward spirit of Christianity. Sociobiology cannot be left
out of religion or conservatism.
The problem stems from the Inward Path
to the God Within (universally experienced) which has religiously blocked
the more local and group-centered Outward Path of evolution to real Godhood. The Twofold Path of the Theoevolutionary Church (TC) seeks to correct this imbalance.
Real Godhood in the Outward Path of
evolution can be defined as containing the Absolutes of Truth,
Goodness and Beauty, and these elements are not only hierarchical but
discriminating, from the least of these to the best of these values.
All people, all groups, all states are
encouraged to biologically and morally conserve the best of truth, goodness and beauty, in the balance of the Twofold Path.
